Mostly about Michelle Kwan not being there with a quote from Sasha.
Quotes:
I wonder how the other skaters feel about this...
Figure skater Michelle Kwan isn't in Colorado Springs, but her presence still is being felt at the four-day U.S. Olympic Team Media Summit this week. Kwan's image adorns banners that hang behind the stage where interviews are conducted.
Glad to hear this!
Kwan, the silver medalist in 1998 and the bronze medalist in 2002, promises to return for her shot at Olympic gold. Her competition can't wait.
I find this quote of Sasha's to be very honest.
"As far as coming of age while she was still winning many titles, it can be frustrating," said Sasha Cohen, the fourth-place finisher in the 2002 Games in Salt Lake City. "I went through a time a couple of years ago when I said, 'Well, why doesn't she retire? Look how many nationals she's had; look how many worlds she's won. It's someone else's turn.' But at the same time, it makes you a better skater. You're only as good as your competition.
"When I do win a national title, it will mean a lot more if she's there."
