Well, since for most skaters getting gold at the Olympics is more a feat of lucky birthdate than anything else, I'd say her 5 world championships and 9 U.S. championships are more indicative of skill than an Olympic medal is (many top notch skaters blow through the prime of their career in the gap between Olympics) and even almost competing in four Olympics is pretty amazing.
But yeah, since I won't be watching any figure skating it doesn't much matter to me who actually skates, though Kwan is a much better representative to the world than many of our recent previous spotlighters.
