WHEN SOMEBODY TALKS ABOUT MICHELLE KWAN, THE FIRST WORD THAT COMES TO OUR MIND IS BEAUTY/ARTISTRY ! THAT'S WHY THE "RIVALITY" BETWEN MICHELLE AND TARA IS SO CLOSE, BECAUSE FIGURE SKATING REQUEST TO MARKS : TECHNICAL AND ARTISTIC IMPRESSION. MICHELLE HAS A GREAT ARTISTIC IMPRESSION AND TARA HAS A GREAT TECHNIQUE . BOTH ARE GREAT SKATERS... STUFF ENOUGH FOR DRIVES A JUDGE CRAZY !(I AM GLAD I AM NOT A JUDGE!) MICHELLE HAS A GREAT FLEXIBILITY AND FEELS THE MUSIC AS ANYBODY, ALMOST ALLWAYS SHE CHOSES A THEME FOR HER PERFORMANCES AND ALLWAYS SHE DOES IT WELL . WHEN SHE SKATES ( I ) HAVE THE IMPRESSION THAT HER BODY SINGS THE MUSIC THAT SHE IS SKATING AND THATS REALLY AMAZING! THAT GAVE HER A LOT OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS ( WHICH HER COACH FRANK CARROL MUST BE PROUD OF) MICHELLE IS TWICE WORLD CHAMPION (1996 AND 1998) AND SHE IS 1998 OLYMPIC SILVER MEDALIST . SHE ALSO WON THE U.S. NATIONALS 3 TIMES. MICHELLE IS FAR AWAY FROM BE A TRIVIA QUESTION HER ARTISTRY IS UFORGETTABLE !

Congratulations Michelle! 1999 U.S. Nationals champion!
