I wish I had gotten to see Kwan's 2006 Olympic LP. I saw her short program and from what I saw it was a huge mistake to choose the same music as Slutskaya as that suited Irina far better, and it looked much weaker even artistically than Irina's short, it just didnt have the same impact. BUT that was in an exhibition or cheesefest pretty far out from the Games so maybe it would have improved a lot by then. I had heard her LP was very good and much more impactful than the short was. Does anyone have the LP she intended to use that season on tape?
Rochette actually beat Asada many times from 2008-2010 and their battle for the Olympic silver in Vancouver was a very close one. I do think they had a real rivalry and exciting one.
By overrated, I assume you must mean rated too many times. And she did compete a lot. So maybe. But she also took a lot of Grand Prix events off. So that probably evens it out. Therefore I think she was rated exactly the right number of times.
