Note! Tara Lipinski is probably one of the girls in the figure skating World who has been around for the shortest amount of time, despite that fact she is at this very moment the only eligeble skater who has won everything a Northamerican could wish for.
She has the title as the youngest US. Champion ever to go with the tittle as the youngest winner of the Worlds. On the ice the rivalery between her and Michelle Kwan has been of great interest.
Lately she has got the better of her opponent thanks to her outstanding technical skills. She has improved her artistry during the years, but compared with some of the others she isn´t that mature yet, something that will surely come with age and experience. After the season 1997/98 Tara has decided to turn pro, something that will surely benefit her presentation.
