You are so right - that personality gives so much to a performance! I used to tape every one of Kristy's performances, and try to do at least part of them. Did you ever see her skate to "100% Pure Love"? That has to be my all-time favorite - it's 100% Pure Kristy Power!! I couldn't do that footwork
without skates!! I still enjoy the few times I see her!
Which is not taking anything away from Michelle. There are other skaters, who shall remain nameless, who may be technically good but soooo boring to watch!
