Jenny was holding her side when they were showing her scores.
Look to me that she was getting sick.
Today's paper (the Detroit free Press) says that she was very sick indeed, with "flu-like symptoms," and that she rushed offstage and vomited right after the scores were posted.
The article says that she told Richard Callaghan earlier in the day that she was not feeling well, and he encouraged her to get through the program on "muscle memory."
"'I don't think people realize what kind of fighter she is,' said Richard Callaghan, her coach at the Onyx."
It also says that Jenny was kind of in awe of Michelle:
"For nearly 10 minutes, it was just the two of them, the champion and the bronze medalist.
"Michelle Kwan, the champion, did most of the talking. Jenny Kirk, the bronze medalist, did most of the listening -- and she was hanging on every word.
"An empty seat reserved for runner-up Sasha Cohen was between them at the post-competition press conference. But as Kirk knows, the distance between Kwan and everyone else in ladies figure skating remains as far apart as ever."
