Both skated very, very well, but Michelle was a little tentative and Tara was fearless. It could have gone either way that evening. IMO Michelle peaked too early, skating perfectly at Nationals. I was there, and she was sublime. She lost just a little at the Olympics, and unfortunately it was just enough. I’ll take it a step further. Michelle was the most overrated skater of our time. She was excellent, but she wasn’t God’s gift to ice skating. Every time she lost it was spun that she should have won, when really she just needed to get over herself.
