- A clip from session, London Calling: What's Our Olympic Legacy? Aspen Ideas 2012. As a prelude to the upcoming Olympic Games, our panel considers what we want the Olympic movement to represent and achieve in the US, as well as the ins and outs of Congress tasking the US Olympic Committee with coordinating amateur athletic activity.
Speakers: Michelle Kwan, Charles Thomas McMillen, Christine Brennan
I can't believe she never won Olympic Gold. Michelle had everything it takes ... everything and more!
She may not have won Olympic gold but she had five world championships - four of those won being exceptional performances: 1996, 2000, 2001 & 2003. I doubt she would trade those performances and championships for anything. (Her third place performance at the Worlds in 2004 was also excellent as well as Silver in 2002).
She would them all up for a single gold.
@@haroof I don't think she would actually. And that is the point . . . she doesn't need to.
She didn't win the gold because of someone's opinion. She was the favorite going into those games and it probably made some of the judges hold back on their scoring. Most people remember the gracious way she handled it and still does to this day, more than they remember who actually won the gold
