    Thanks so much for this! Could you post it in the Downloads section as well? I caught the promo during tonight's SportsCenter. First time I've been able to see Michelle in HD, woohoo! I'm jealous you can cap in HD! I have it in HD on my dvr, but I can't get if off only my computer.

    Oh, and I like your sig too.

    Grace found this blog, it's from the same paper (LA Daily News) that had the article I linked to earlier (that said the piece will air Wednesday.) It has 2 pictures, as well as some great quotes about Michelle (scroll down once you click on the link):

    I love the 1st pic!

    That MK photo "Evolution of a Champion" collage...which resembles a private dressing/room divider (ok I have no idea what you call those things ) ... in the background looks SWEET!

    Thanks Heather and Grace for all the ongoing alerts! The pictures are great and how terrific of Michelle to give Dani her jacket from SLC.

    ESPN currently has the Dwayne Wade online. Maybe they will have Michelle's also.

    Beware if you watch it you will cry.

    reading both articles made me think Chris Connelly (the host)was pretty impressed with Michelle.

    here is an article on Wade's visit by the childs mother. They have a small banner with Michelle at the top.

    I agree YankeesSuck the host does seem impressed with Michelle. I can't wait to see the show. It looks like everyone had a good time.

    After reading the blog, I'm even more anxious to see this!
    I'll have a box of tissues handy, too.

    Didn't want to start a new thread for this, but...Michelle was mentioned on SportsCenter today (6pm, ET)! It was supercool...They were talking about Roger Federer going for his fifth straight Wimbledon title, and gave their list of "Top Ten all-time best streaks." Our girl was listed at #9 for her eight straight national titles! They showed about a 10-sec. clip of her in various costumes, mostly doing the Kwan Smiral ;-). Among other athletes listed were Martina Navratilova, Tiger Woods and John Force Jr. (funny car hot rod driver).

    I saw that ESPN showed a little tiny clip today when I was sitting in a restaurant for dinner. I was actually ordering, saw Michelle on the TV in the corner and impulsively yelled "MICHELLE!!!!" Everyone thought I was nuts (except for my mom who laughed with me). I can't wait to see this tomorrow!

    Default For those up late. Michelle My wish on ESPN.com now

    http://espn.go.com/

    Look for Michelle's name. I can't find a direct link.

    Can someone correct the 's on Michelle's name in the title.

    It is only part of it. Sorry

    Try this one. Give it a while to load.

    Oh that was so sweet. Brought a tear to my eyes. I can't wait to see the entire episode.

    She skated perfectly. The only imperfection is she did not win gold in 98.

    I capped it. It's about 2MB, so shouldn't take too long to download. See Michelle's Aranjuez dress being touched.

    Click here to download

    I've also posted this in the "My Wish" series thread in Downloads

    Oh, I was crying too! What a great preview, I can't wait to see the whole thing, either. (Fashion note, looks like she's wearing the same shoes in that clip that she wore at ESPN the weekend ) BTW, if you make your screen scroll over to the right while watching the video, you can rate the video. There were only 3 votes when I rated it 5 stars.

    On another note, the host of the series, Chris Connelly, who has been quoted in several articles being complimentary towards Michelle, will be having a chat on Wed (today) at 1:30pm EST. You can ask him a question before hand, by going to this link:

    Thanks Lisa!

    Did anybody catch PTI during SPORTSCENTER just now?

    Brief MK mention, talking about a comeback for the 2010 Olympics.

    Kornheiser basically dismisses her chances, saying "she's been in the Olympics since the Olympics began" ( ), whereas Wilbon gave a "Michelle, comeback, comeback!" yelp towards the end.

    And they do this minutes prior to her Make-A-Wish segment! wow.

    (Prove 'em wrong Michelle!)

    I thought that that their comments were insulting; but not surprising. These sportswriter/commentators have little appreciation for the "competitive fire" that burns within Michelle!

    Just crying as Michelle gave Dani her 02 Oly jacket.
    Gracious on and off the ice. So true so true. Love ya Michelle.

    She skated perfectly. The only imperfection is she did not win gold in 98.

    The segment on Michelle is just wonderful! Make sure you have tissues close by, though.

    The thing is that she is NOT talking about a comeback. All she did was respond to a question that she is not ruling it out.
