2003 Champions on Ice :: A Shrine to Excellence, Michael's Michelle Kwan Site

My Collection > 2003 Champions on Ice

What an AWESOME time! May 24, 2003, only the second time I had ever seen live skating (2002 COI was the first). And look at me. I had front row (on ice!), center seats. Couldn't be better. But it was! I managed to get backstage passes too! I had cards for Irina Slutskaya and Michelle, so I was glad to give them to them personally. I was able to get all the skaters to sign my program and got Michelle to sign a photos I had, similar to this photo.

	Michelle Kwan skating in the finale. Notice how great our seats are.		The end of the finale. Once again, notice the great seats. It was a Carnival theme, which explains the bright, chaotic colors.
	Michelle (!!!), Hayley (wishes to remain faceless), and me. This photo has become one of my prized possessions :)		I caught another photo of Michelle after to passed us. Signing autographs.
	me and Irina Slutskaya. Funny story, I gave both her and Michelle cards wishing them the best, and as I handed Irina hers, she tried to autograph it! LOL I said "No, it's for you!" and gave her my program to autograph :)		me and Sasha Cohen. ALL the skaters were really nice, but Sasha really surprised me. She's REALLY REALLY nice! Especially to the little girl who was next to me. Very cute moment.
	me and Elena Sokolova. She was probably the sweetest, nicest skater I met besides Michelle. I even waved to her during the opening, and she waved back :) Gotta love those seats...		me and Naomi Lang. I don't follow ice dance much, but she's HOT. Oh, and nice too. :)
	me and Shae-Lynn Bourne. I'm not going to type it again, so see my picture with Naomi, re: hot ice dancers.		Our group from the Michelle Kwan Forum. Me, Paula, Anita, then Amelia and Hayley (once again, doesn't want to be pictured) in the front.
