ESPN news is different from ESPN.

You can ask her questions.

[scootie12]

Thanks for the heads-up.

I just posted a question for her too! Maybe you'll hear mine!! haha (I mentioned I'm from MKF...lol)

[taytay165]

Hmmm....now I just have to think of a question for her! Thanks for the link!

[skatefan20]

Thanx Yankee! I'm guessin' the primary reason she'll be appearing is to promote the Make-A-Wish foundation.

Same here, don't want to bombard the email system with the same question, though I think I'm still inclined to ask the most obvious .

[debbwin]

yea, thanks for the tip, YS. Gotta get my dvr ready to go this weekend....yippee, I'm gonna get my dvr ready for Michelle!

[michelle2006]

Uhhmm, I totally can't decide what I wanna ask her. She's still in Russia, right? So is this all gonna be via sattellite?

[Aslan's Girl]

Thank you, YS, for the heads-up!

[attyfan]

Someone, please tape it and give us a transcript or an upload or something, for those of us who don't get espn news.

Haha, don't worry, I set my computer to cap as soon as I read this thread.

[Heather]

I guess Michelle is back from Russia! They are talking to Rex Grossman on the show, and they show him with the SAMMY winners, and Michelle is sitting next to him. It says in the corner of the screen "coming up: skating great Michelle Kwan." So, hopefully it won't be too long until she's on!

[Grace]

I'm waiting for reports!

[debbwin]

Grace, was that your question? They asked her from Grace from San Diego...something like "what was the most challenging for you in the past year?" She said "midterms and finals"... She was great! it was so good to see her....was she in Orlando already?
deb

there also was a question from Jess in Boston about the 2 programs she had for last year's olys and if we would ever get to see them...she said something like maybe, perhaps in some form or other.....this was asked before Grace's question.

[skatefan20]

Anyone else get the feeling she was revving up for another run at the Olympics?

she definitely did not seem to rule it out...she said she may be in the BEST shape of her life at age 29, who knows? yippee...

[nymkfan51]

I just got home from work and turned it on to see the last few minutes. I was in time to hear her say she was feeling good (no pain), and maybe she would try for another Olympics.

[Heather]

I'm working on the clip. It's going to take longer than usual because I need to get it off the Tivo, then convert it, then make the clip (my computer can't cap straight from digital cable, yea, I know, more info than anyone cares about )

Grace, I think they asked your question! I wonder if the other question (Jess from Boston) was also a MKFer?

Yea, I liked her answer to that question. When asked if we'll ever see her 2006 programs, she said "perhaps." The best part of the answer was when she said she had no pain!

[taytay165]

Awww, it sounds so GREAT!!! I can't wait to see it. Does anyone else think that maybe her time in Russia with Irina and Plushy just might have convinced her to give skating another shot? I mean, with Plushy returning and Irina not ruling out 2010...it had to be encouraging. Doesn't matter...I just can't wait to see her!!!!

[Grace]

Hahaha, that's hilarious! They did ask my question. LOL, I figured her answer might be related to school, but was curious anyway

Haha, I also did ask whether or not we would ever get a chance to see her skate her long program - looks like Jess had the same idea - glad she asked Huh, looks like she sort of answered it

[Heather]

Let me do a quick rundown of what was talked about

-SAMMY awards/milk mustache. Host asked what the mustache was made up, she said whatever it was, it was yummy
-Russia trip
-ESPN's My Wish on Wed (she seemed to really light up when talking about this!)
-What it was like during Nancy/Tonya thing (way to be with the times, ESPNews host, lol)
-fans questions (if we'll get to see her programs/if Olys aren't out of the question, and then what's been the hardest over the last year, with school and everything)

BTW, she looked beautiful. Duh.

[El Segundo 909]

It is going right now.She is in Orlando for the Sammy Awards.Lots of information that everyone is eager to know. She was described as possibly the greatest U.S figure skater of all times.She was asked about her trip to Russia. She was asked of course about the Miss Universe Pagent.
On the fans questions.One was from Boston,the question was about the Olympic programs,if she'll ever perform them again. She said it is possible if she'll compete again. She doesn't rule out of competing again,even the 2010 Olympics. She says,she is feeling good right now.
Second question came from "Grace",lucky you.
She asked what was the most exciting thing that happened to her recently. She answered the "Finals".
She looked very preety.Hopefully ,someone had recorded it.

[Heather]

Oh, another thing re coming back to skate. She said the doctor had given her the go ahead to get back on the ice, another good sign.

[Grace]

Heather, I'm waiting for your cap =D * sits patiently * too bad I don't get any of these channels. I am subscribing to a new package soon, but it's come too late!

Thanks everyone for the rundown. I can't wait to see how she looks. Looking forward to seeing her on "My Wish".

Re giving her the go to go back and skate -- YES!! YAY! She feels no pain, sounds like she's doing great, that's awesome!

[kittyjake5]

Thanks for the mini reports. I completely forgot Michelle was on Pulse today darn, otherwise I would have watched it. Can't wait to see the clip.

[graciesfriend]

Thanks everyone for all the summaries of what Michelle said! It's the best news to hear that Michelle is pain-free!

Gosh, it's harder keeping up with Michelle now than when she was competing!
