No other figure skater makes me cry like she does. There is something about her skating that completely penetrates your heart
-
No skater, before or after her, has received ovations for the last 30 seconds of a program when she does the footwork sequence. It's perhaps the most dynamic portion of her programs because her heart just shines though.
-
I am so happy that I was in that audience. I will never forget it. The electricity was unbelievable. We were all standing for the last half of the routine. What an ovation and what a performance.
-
The part where she runs is just...breathtaking. #passion
-
There hasn't been anyone like her since. This is the kind of figure skating I fell in love with as a kid. The sport greatly misses her, esp in the US.
-
I'm still watching this in 2018. The current US ladies are beautiful, can spin in the air wonderfully, but I just don't see this level of musicality. Bravo, Michelle Kwan!
-
i still watch this at least once a year, I will never get tired of watching this program

I had the pleasure of being in Phillips Arena on the night of this performance. She tore the place apart! Like many others here, I TRULY miss Michelle's skating. She made it look so easy that people began to take her for granted. Now I think they see just what an accomplishment and a talent she brought to the sport.
-
I love how Michelle used her arms. She had the best arm positions throughout the entire program. Even today, skaters don't have pretty arms like she did.
-
Think about what Terry Gannon said at 2:19. In 2004, Michelle finished no lower than third in every competition she skated in since 1995. For nine straight years, she made the podium in every event she entered. Amazing.
-
The passion in her performance is just overwhelming. She was without a doubt one of the greatest talents we ever got to see and the sport misses her.
-
We wil never see this kind of beauty and magic on ice again .
-
She is the only skater in the whole wide world who has totally captured everybody's heart. She just takes you with her in everything she does.
-
Simply the best, she took us to places no other skater, hell no other athletes can take us, a beautiful , wonderful, magical place of ice. Oh god, if I can only turn back time and be inside this arena to see this, I would give anything.
-
Simplicity at its BEST!! All she had to offer was her heart..and we all felt it!
-
Most emotional skater i've ever seen on the ice. So passionate and brings tears to me eyes.
-
Absolutely love this performance by Michelle Kwan. Her emotion, her grace and her clear love of skating is what makes this particular performance so timeless.
-
i don't think anyone can touch her. she is safely in the sphere of history as the greatest. this to me is the essence of skating.
-
I feel that in all of her performances, she is telling the story of the music she skates to. Never ever had that feeling with other skaters. She is wonderful, a class act, and so much fun to watch. I get tears and chills watching all of the videos of her. Just wonderful.
-
can we all just agree that she is the greatest of all time, like seriously!!!!
