Kwan skated as if she was doing a run through of her routine. Kinda bland aand of course, the two falls didn#t help. She was however, given a gift of 3rd place. Should have been 5th.

jesslily said:Not going to any event of Grand Prix certainly did not give Michelle Kwan any advantage. She did not see how much progress the other skaters besides Sasha Cohen have made, and she also did not fully realize how many talented newcomers with great jumping ability. Only attending National is not enough.
Sasha Cohen made a lot improvement since national in terms of flow, power, and choreography. I suspect both Michelle and her coach did get situation they might come cross well prepared. Keeping a title is much harder than getting it first time.

All kidding aside, I don't remember a ladies competition in the past that was this deep. (I'm sure there have been some and I just don't remember them this way) This is going to be so exciting to follow!!
