Sarah Hughes at 1999 Skate America
I just downloaded and watched Michelle's Red Violin at 1999 SA, it was truly a beautiful performance despite the fall on her flip jump. Besides that hauntingly beautiful performance, something else struck me - Sarah Hughes. The camera showed her clapping when Michelle was taking bows after the program and Sarah had this look on her face that made me adore her. She was sincere in her expression of respect for Michelle even though she was competing with her. I'm not saying this because she has always liked Michelle, I 'm saying this because I really feel she is such a great kid. After SLC, she's appeared really grounded. Although Michelle's failure to capture the Oly gold made me really moody for 2 weeks, I could accept that it was Michelle's own undoing, she let the pressure get to her. Just too bad. I want her to compete at 2006 Olympics. As for Sarah, I feel sad her career has suddenly taken such a bad turn. Hope she'll be fine.
