OK Michelle is back!

Michelle is back. She is recovering from a very serious hip ligament injury. She is not even training full time. She recently debuted her new short program (same music as Irina's). Not loving it , but I will trust Michelle can make it her own when she's full strength.

Read about her injury: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/olympics/winter/2005-12-10-kwan-return_x.htm

She has a long way to go to be National's and Olympic's ready. I will believe in Michelle, but will not have any expectation of the outcome for either event.

I got my tickets, booked my flight, and made arrangements to room with someone for Nationals.
I can't believe it's a month away! I can't wait to see all my friends from 2002 and last year. I can't wait to see the skaters practice again. That's where you get to see what it takes to put these programs together. Ice Skating is a very demanding sport. The ice is hard when they fall and they fall over and over again.

Anyway, here's a clip of the making of an Olympic's commercial that truly gives me the chills.
I love the winter Olympics!
