Michelle Kwan's "Dante's Prayer"
Last evening I pulled out one of my videotapes from the 1998 season and enjoyed the Keri Pro/Am Figure Skating Championship that was held in the fall of 1998 in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Michelle Kwan won the competition handily, with two very strong programs. As this was a pro/am event, the emphasis wasn't on heavy-duty technical skills. Michelle's long program was a masterpiece, skated to "Dante's Prayer". While it included "only" three triples - lutz, toe, and salchow - it was a gorgeous skate. Great choregraphy, deep edges, lots of emotion. Wow!!
Michelle had just cut her hair at that time, and she sported a very short haircut. Looked quite nice, I think.
