Considering it was her last Olympic performance that secured three American's chances at the Olympics instead of two, I had no problem with her being allowed to come to Torino. It's not an unusual occurance in fielding an Olympic figure skating team. I think evryone was hopefull that she could heal in time, and I applaud her for aknowledging that despite her efforts she can't.

There are some real jerks in the skating world, but I don't think Michelle Kwan is one of them.
