	1998 World Figure Skating Championships
		Among the top finishers, Michelle Kwan skated a fine program, a few of the jump landings looked a little less secure than they could be, and her spins could be faster, but she's clearly "in the zone".
		Michelle skated a clean short program runthrough, but we observed that while she is entering her lutz with a lot of speed, she is still landing it with very little flow.
		The only fault I spotted was that they seemed to be skating somewhat cautiously throughout the rest of the program once they got the twist and jumps out of the way, and the dismount from their lift was a little scary.

		Russia's usual strength in the pairs also came under challenge Monday, as China's Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo nipped at the heels of world champions Yelena Berezhnaya and Anton Sikharulidze in the short program, while American pairs were weak: the highest placement was Kyoko Ina and John Zimmerman in eighth.
		As impressive as the quad was as a personal mark for American champion Weiss, its drama was upstaged by compatriot Tim Goebel, who hit the first quad salchow ever accomplished in the world championships.
		Although he'd done a quad and a quad-triple in practice the day before, Yagudin said he didn't want to take risks in the qualifier, partly because he was nursing a sore calf and partly because he dislikes the new regime under which the qualifying round counts for 20 percent of the final score.
