Peggy Fleming was asked what she thought of Michelle Kwan. I'll try to get the quote right, as it's amazing. I'll have to add it once I find it.
From
Yahoo:
"She's probably the most significant athlete at these Olympic Games," said skating analyst
Scott Hamilton. "And so for her to pull out is a gigantic story, and a loss for the U.S. team because so much of the focus was going to be on her."
"Michelle Kwan means more to the United States Olympic Committee than maybe any athlete that's ever performed," USOC chairman
Peter Ueberroth said. "She's been a leader, she's been gracious, she's somebody that cares for so many youngsters that are training in our country...."She's a real loss to all of the United States Olympic Committee and to the United States of America, and I think to the world. She's made a courageous decision."
