Wow...I'm really excited by all the blogging activity going on in our little circle lately. Also exciting to me, all the spectacular figure skating action that's going on. Michelle Kwan withdrew from this year's Nationals because of a groin injury. This being an Olympic year, there is much discussion surrounding her right now. Skaters qualify for the Olympics by placing in the top 2 or 3 (depending on the number of spots available) at Nationals in the same year. Michelle Kwan has been to Nationals 14 times and has won the U.S. title 9 times, which ties the most National titles ever. She is an amazing athlete and has been extremely consistent throughout her career. Before the night is over, the International Committee of U.S. Figure Skating will decide whether Kwan's impressive record warrants a spot on the 2006 U.S.A Olympic Team. In my humble opinion, I say send her to Torino. The United States has never had a better competitor in this sport and she is our best chance of winning the Olympic Gold in Ladies Figure Skating. As I know you are all waiting with baited breath...I will update as soon as I hear the decision!

Every athlete has injuries and if they allow her a spot many people will be upset saying that she didn't "earn" her spot. I think she deserves to go too. She is one of the best we have ever seen.
As promised...this is a quote from an article I found here:
“The International Committee considered all of the relevant information and picked the best possible U.S. Olympic Team to represent the United States in Torino,” International Committee Chair Bob Horen said. “We believe that Sasha, Kimmie and Michelle will compete in a manner that will make our country proud.”
Yay!!
