We were thrilled for her too as well as all of the athletes of have won medals. Our heart breaks when any person from any country falls or has injuries, etc after all of their hard hard work and expenses and all of the sacrifices they have made to get where they are. They are all winners. I am an American but the Canadians did soooo fantastic. We are happy for them!!!

Judge from the stats, I would say Irina Rodnina & Alexander Zaitsev.  They won Olympics in 1976, 1980 (Irina also won 1972 with Alexei Ulanov), and World Champions in 1973-1978 (Irina also won with Alexei Ulanov from 1969-1972).  It's hard to find someone so dominant.

I think Michelle Kwan has until the 20th of February to decided whether she'll be competing or not. The competition starts on the 22nd. She's been cleared by doctors and has been declared 'ready to compete' and healthy. Unfortunately, her injury has been acting up since she reached Italy and her practice sessions haven't been gfoing too well. Also, she's 25 and figure skating is a sport that's 'forever young'. Age is no longer on her side. In fact, some of her fellow skaters who were even younger than her- for example,  1998 Olympic Gold medalist Tara Lipinski- have practically retired already. the only reason why Michelle is still competing this last time is to try and win the gold. I hope she makes it!

The skater in question was Marie-France Dubreuil representing Canada. According to the Turin 2006 website (as of yesterday):\n\nCanadian Marie-France Dubreuil's participation in Monday's free dance was in doubt as she was still in pain following a fall in the original dance on Sunday.\n\n"I don't know if she will be able to skate tonight," her partner Patrice Lauzon told reporters after he trained alone at the Palavela rink.\n\n"She was not able to walk yesterday.\n\n"She has nothing broken, so that's good. She is hurting from the knee to the lower back and she is getting treatment."\n\nThe Canadians were one of four couples who tumbled to the ground during the ice dance competition and Dubreuil was taken to a Turin hospital on Sunday as a precautionary measure.
