Oh, that explains why you're so interested in the Olympic gold-- you're a
non-skating fan.

Just because I'm curious (and you probably won't answer this because you
always claim you "don't have to answer a question just because I asked"), do
you consider Apollo Anton Ohno's OGM, the one he won when half the other
skaters tripped and fell, the "sign of a true champion"?  Or simply the sign
of a skater who did what he had to do to win a particular competition?

No, I don't consider him a true champion--he was just lucky.  And what I said
about answering questions is that nobody is forced to answer a question just
because somebody else asked it.  When I felt that your question was a little
nasty and condescending, I chose not to answer.  That is certainly my
privilege.  And I did not say that ONLY non-skating fans think the Olympic Gold
Medal is the sign of a true champion.  Now, c'mon, Amy--you know very well that
Michelle Kwan herself considers the Olympic Gold the most important medal there
is, as do many skating fans.
