Red Dog is right on in his dislike of Michelle's fans gush, gush, gush. It does get tiresome even for this Kwaniac. Kwan has been an exceptional skater for over 10 years winning contests after contests. That's fact. Even with Silver and Bronze Olympic medals, her fans have been steadfast, often taking away from other skaters. Not many skaters have 2 olympic medals. Have they?
If a favorite skater does not win an Olympic gold medal, it doesn't mean one has to switch allegiance to the winner. What purpose would that serve?
Not to open a can of worms, but there is no Olympic Gold Medalist in the past 20 years for me to consider that special. This is not an opinion. It is what I feel.
The only two figure skaters that I have felt as the greatest in the past years have been Kurt and Michelle. Others have displayed a great deal of virtuosity in certain championships, particularly in the technical, but none have gotten to me as much as Kurt and Michelle for the Whole Package.
There have been some outstanding Russian Pairs which I whole heartedly agree as the best of the best, and for me, there was only one Dance Team that got to me and they happened to be British.
Just expressing my heartfelt ideals of figure skating personalities.
