How would you feel if Michelle returned to US Nationals, showed off her edges and maturity and connection with her fans, had strong choreography, and showed she could still land some difficult triples . . . and finished, oh, say, sixth?
Would that be satisfying for fans?
I think it might be OK with the died-in-the-wool, long live the Kween, fans.
But it would not make her any new fans and the general reaction would be, that was then, this is now -- what's she doing still out here?!
Would that be satisfying for Michelle?
I cannot imagine that this would be an acceptable outcome for Michelle. I do not think she would put herself through all that, just in the hope that she might win sixth place in a skating competition.
