There really were no programs constructed like Maria’s. She always provided something different from the template.

2002 Skate America, Ludmila Nelidina. She complained that she lost to Kwan who stepped in last minute when Hughes dropped out. Then she disappeared.
Maria wuzrobbed!
Agh, they mentioned the dance result, and now I have heartbreak flashbacks for A/P.
Supposedly, Kwan did a 3Sal/3Loop in this warm-up, but it’s one of things where I need to see it to believe it.
She also got unlucky to skate a ‘clean’ but extremely tentative short and go behind Hughes for 5th place in the segment and was a distant 6th overall going into the long.
I would tell you you're backsliding, but I'm too impressed by this god-tier display of petty.Because I'm petty, I looked up the judge who marked Kwan in third in the LP behind Slutskaya and Hughes. It seems he hasn't judged much since then. The last thing I saw was 2003 Europeans Qualifying Round B (where Volchkova won), and three junior events: 2005 Croatia Cup, 2005 Sofia Cup and refereeing for 2008 NRW Trophy. Good.
Also, this article that says he's homophobic:
New Case of Homophobia in Croatian Sports
There is a new case of homophobia in Croatian sports, this time in synchronized skating, which points out to more diverse problem than several individuals in the leadership of national football association.www.kaosgl.org
Assuming that's the same one.
The first judge, who marked Kwan behind Slutskaya, has worked extensively but has never judged a World Championships again. Good.
ETA: She did do Qualifying Round B at 2004 Worlds, but she never judged Kwan again.
You're just lucky @AngieNikodinovLove isn't here.
Remember when Peggy Fleming said Hughes should have WON the SP?
She had such a hard-on for Sarah.
