She sounds positive. Great that she knows that she can win at Turin and she's letting everyone else know it. Gotta love a fighting spirit. I believe!!

Here's another article from USA Today's web site (basically the same as Yahoo!'s). :hug

This part of the article was interesting:


"If they say, `OK, Michelle, you're ready to go,' and I don't feel I'm 100 percent, I will pull myself out of the team, because I want to be 100 percent at the Olympics," she said.

It would really suck if she didn't feel up to competing at the Olys, but it's good to see that she's willing to give up her spot on the team (if given to her) if she doesn't think she'll be ready.

A few more quotes from Michelle in this article.


"But the good news is that my hip is feeling well and that I feel I'm capable of being 100 percent for the Olympics. That's why I put this petition in. I have a chance to win (at Turin)."

That's the heart of champion!!!
