Thought about this many times:
What if Michelle Kwan and Patrick Chan had represented Hong Kong?
We've seen the explosion of figure skating in Korea because of Kim Yun-A. Would the same have happened in Hong Kong if the children had these two to look up to?

Don't worry, I'm not trying to steal Patrick off you. I'm just wondering if he would have been an even bigger inspiration to young boys if he had been representing a country that does not have a big history in the sport.
And the same for Michelle with the girls.
See, I'm saying they're inspiring! It's all good!

What if...Plushenko did a double loop as planned on the end of his 4T + 3T combo in 2010? Would it have been enough to win Gold?
What if...Mirai landed a double axel in the FS at 2010 Worlds? Winning bronze and three spots for US ladies at the following worlds.

Or what if COP were used back then? What would the Calgary LP outcome have been? It's just ludicrous that she was placed 3rd.

What if Kostner had chosen to tell the truth to the anti-doping people instead of choosing to lie?
What if Joshua had never had his concussions?

What if the age restriction had never been put into play? What if Naomi was sent to 99 Worlds and Sasha 00 Worlds? Of course Mao 2006, Adelina and Liza pre 2013, Yulia pre 2014, Radinova 2014 and so forth?
What if Kwan stayed with Carrol, the same with Mirai.
What if Denise Bielmann stayed around past 1981?
What if School figures were still around today?
What if School figures were eliminated before they were?
What if Elena and Nikita stayed together?

^^^ I don't think anyone could have beaten Michelle after the LP she skated in 2000. Maria and Irina had BOTH beaten her in the SP and Maria had also won the qualifying. She had a big lead going into the free and it took a perfect performance from Michelle to win that event.

What if Randy Gardner hadn't pulled his groin in 1980?

i wonder this very often. i think it would have changed her entire career. if she would have been a 2010 olympian IMO i'm not sure if she would have continued her career afterwards...she most likely would have never moved to cali, since her not making the team was such a big part of that decision. we would probably have never seen moulin rouge :sad21:

What I appreciate about Ashley is her longevity. I was at Nationals in 2011 and she did not have a good event. After just missing the team in 2010, I was expecting her to come back with a vengeance yet, she dropped to 6th place. Whoever motivated her to keep going following that season is owed a huge thank you from US skating fans. I had no idea that she'd blossom into a World Medalist so late in her career.

What if there was no limit on the number of skaters from one country who could compete at an event??

As a person who is currently living in Hong Kong, my answer would be: If Michelle and Patrick were born in Hong Kong, they would not start skating, instead they will be going to tutorial lessons after school and get buried by homework every day, studying for endless tests and exams. The world would be less beautiful.
