March 2004U.S. Team Ready to Score at World Championships We saw the joy of Michelle Kwan as seven 6.0s were posted for presentation after her free skate. The story was told in the relief displayed on the face of Johnny Weir after he skated a clean free skate to win the title and become the youngest men's champion in more than 10 years. Then there was the disbelief on the face of two-time U.S. champion Timothy Goebel after missing three jumps in his short program.
