Updated 2/14/2006 .US 's Emily Hughes will replace injured Michelle
Kwan in the Olympics By Gary Mihoces, USA TODAY

Emily
Hughes...... IN ,OUT,IN

Should be OUT,but some how IN,then OUT.
In FACTS.Kwan should not represented US in the first
place.
2.Kwan got the place by filing a petition:
The purpose of the latter would be to assure the USFS
observers that my programs contain the technical elements necessary
for an Olympic level performance, and to give further assurances to
the USFS that my prior injury will not prevent me from being
physically ready to compete at the highest level at the 2006 Winter
Olympic Games
The
decision to put Kwan on the Olympic team instead of Hughes was
shrouded in so much secrecy, not even the skaters involved knew
what was going on.--- By Nancy Armour,Associated Press
.
3.Unfortunately,she failed.
4.Isn't the US 2006 State Farm U.S. Championships was the
selection
ex. to select for Olympics?Is there other altheltic get a place in
Olympice
team by filing a petition before?
5.Some thinking why Kwan
consequently bumped off Hughes, who was third in
nationals.
Big companies already 'invested' much on Kwan.Her absence in
Olympics
would make them great loss.
