Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which skater skated with much joy to, "Aranjuez", in 2003?

Answer: Michelle Kwan

Michelle Kwan had a dream season in 2003 year, and I felt so happy about it also. She landed 6 triple-jumps at both Nationals and World Championships.

2. What do Navka/Kostomarov (2003), Grishuk/Platov (1997), Oksana Baiul (1996), and Michelle Kwan (2003), all have in common?

Answer: They all skated to the same musical 'oeuvre'

"The Feeling Begins", has proven to be a popular musical selection for skating. Two ice-dance couples have done very interesting routines to the song. Oksana Baiul did, and she was very dramatic playing the part of a harem girl. One of the best presentations of it though, was done by Michelle Kwan. She has had great footwork and everything else.

That is a quote loved by many people.
