[MichelleKwanFanForever]

I want Sarah Hughes to win if Michelle retires, but my second choice who I want to win is Jenny Kirk

[iloveskating]

It will be someone else, not currently on the scene...a lot of things will happen in 6 years!

[TheGr8Sk8er]

Iloveskating is right, look, now we have Sarah, Sasha, Naomi, Jennifer, and all the others competiing for the gold. We couldn't even have imagined this @ the 98 Olympics! I'm going to win mens!!!!!!!!

[amethyst]

Definitely other - someone we haven't even seen yet.

[Victoriacai]

Sasha Cohen! But you never know.......:rollin

[Sandy]

i will have to say sarah hughes and nnn!

Sandy

[Artec262]

I voted for Ann Patrice McDonough.

[Hadas]

I choose other, because by the time 2006 rolls around, Louann Donovan will definatley be on the olympic track!

[mk4ever]

probably sasha or sarah! they are fabulous!!!:) ...you'll never know!!;)

sasha- loved your pro\!!!!!

[AshBugg44]

I voted for Sasha, but you never know...
And this is assuming Shelly wins. Don't assume because it makes an *** out of u and me. Get it?

[aehodman]

Howsabout I change it to a hypothetical situation by using "if" instead? I certainly do not want to offend anyone, so I'll edit it now....

[dec5]

This girl has landed triple lutzes since she was 10, No
one has mentioned this....... Once she is used to her mature
body she will be another Kristi Yamaguchi/Michelle Kwan....
Naomi Nari Nam is also this type of skater. I still think
Kwan will still be a factor in 2006. And these two young
skaters, will advance skating to a higher level.......

[MariKat19]

Dec5, my thoughts exactly. Ann Patrice is incredible and no one should count Naomi out! Lisa Kwon could be a factor if she starts using her triple axel, and u.s novice silver medalist shanell noji may be up there by then, maybe anna peng whose syle has been compared to michelle's.
Sasha also has a great ballet quality...yee bin and beatrisa liang and andrey rose chua and evelyn kong, jean han are coming up quickly also.
My wishes are with NNN, A.P, shanell, and lisa's triple axel...

[Corbon91]

I think it'll be either Sarah or Sasha.

[kwanfan2001]

I think if Angela Nikodinov keeps improving the way she has this season could have a good shot at a medal... if she sticks around till then... Maybe possibly Naomi Nari Nam if she is ever scheduled in any GP events sometime soon. She needs to become familiar with international judges on the Senior level.

[CheekyMo]

I've only seen Ann Patrice skate once on tv and I just remember one word that stuck in my mind and that was wow. I'm picky about skaters that move me but in my opinion Ann Patrice has the ability to move people. I remember thinking this way about Oksana and the same thing with Michelle. There's something classy and reassuring about Ann Patrice's skating.

[peglewis]

someone new

[EigthAv]

I don't think Michelle is gong to leave the ISU after SLC.Look out for Louann Donovan,Lindsey Weber and Katie Stewart!
