Tara Lipinski and Michelle Kwan reconnecting on a meaningful subject 25 years later.

this is so great. this is what it's about. have always been a huge fan of tara's. her olympic skate was one of the greatest of all times. and to hear and see her at this stage of her life...just wonderful

omg I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during that convo.

I was a super of Michelle & Tara . Hearing Tara talk about how she feels connected to Michelle freaking loved it just loved it

I think this is a reminder of how carried away the public can get with rivalries and the fan wars. It's often the case that the people who fans are fighting over are often more fond of and connected to each other than the public realizes.

I was 15 years old in 1998, and felt so torn heading into Nagano! I loved Michelle so much, but adored Tara (I started in artistic roller skating too!). I wanted both to win, which of course wasn't a possibility. I knew I would be heartbroken no matter the outcome. I've never met you Tara, but was fortunate to meet Michelle a few years ago and she was just LOVELY. Knowing you two are able to connect this far out, is just wonderful to hear. :)

This is amazing! Tara you should have Michelle on your podcast. It would be so fascinating to hear you guys chat!

It's wonderful that they've reconnected. I'm sure it must have been emotional for both of them. There were so many great memories from that period of time in figure skating. Sad that there will always be that stigma of Tara stealing Michelle's Olympic gold. Tara deserved to win, but everyone felt that it was Michelle's moment to win that Olympic year and that Tara's time was still to come. I'm sure there's no grudge between them personally. But it was undeniably one of the greatest upsets in Olympic figure skating history.

I have always adored Tara. I still remember after winning the gold in the 1998 Olympics, Tara appeared on the Oprah show. Oprah asked what she wanted (as a reward) and Tara said a Chevrolet. Oprah was like, what... you've just won a gold medal at the Olympics, you don't need a Chevy, you need a Porsche. Oprah was funny and Tara was adorable. 🥰

What on earth is Tara speaking about ? What did Michelle give her advice about ??
