Skate America (2003?) that I attended in person and saw [Jenny Kirk] skate live.
That was Skate America in Reading, Pa., right? I think you have lots of company in chosing that competition as your number one memory of Kirk's skating. In the opinion of the great majority of the audience, Kirk won and wuzrobbed by Sasha Cohen on "reputation scoring."
My favorite Kirk memory was the year before, Skate America in Spokane. Kirk was second after the short program and she and Ann-Patrice McDonough (second in the free and overall) were the belles of the ball. Both the Spokane media and the audience ate them both up with a spoon. They completely overshadowed winner Michelle Kwan in terms of buzz around town.
