I confess... I always eat chicken for dinner when Michelle is skating.... It started off as a joke, but is now a habit... its sooo very embarrasing...

Naomi has an IceBreaker mint before she takes the ice.
Themi wears the same pair of socks during the short program and free skate, if the short program goes well.
.Naomi and Themi read an inspirational quote, from a book Naomi owns, everyday during a competition

Oh, I don't know. I thought that THIS was one of her better routines.Eeyora said:It is bad luck for Michelle Kwan to wear black.
Zanzibar said:Some superstitions are cute. Alexander Abt's is that he always touches the surface of the ice with his hand before skating. As he once said, "To say hello."

Zanzibar said:A LOT of athletes are ridiculously superstitious. One of the strangest skater superstitions I've witnessed is a female pro skater (I mean c'mon - if it's only a show who cares? Why even bother with the ritual? But I digress....) who had a little set of dolls she would line up in the dressing room and mumble some words over.
