Today's Michelle Kwan award goes to...

Michelle Kwan.

(AP) -- Michelle Kwan wouldn't rule out a withdrawal from the Olympics after cutting short her first practice Saturday because of stiffness in her groin.

Kwan said the long plane ride and marching in the Opening Ceremony caused enough problems for her to skip a short program run-through one day after arriving in Torino. She avoided answering several questions about whether she's worried about competing in her third Olympics.

NBC ImageAt a press conference a few hours after practice, Kwan said she felt stiff and admitted that she was "concerned."

But asked directly if she might drop off the U.S. team, the five-time world champion said: "I really have to pay attention to how I am feeling these days. Dropping out, it's not something I want to do, but I have to listen to what my feelings are.''

It was not pretty. Her first jump, a smooth triple toe loop, came 13 minutes into the workout. She then two-footed her first triple flip, and fell hard on her next attempt at the jump. Kwan also cut another try into a double flip.

Sounds like she was just perfecting her long program from Salt Lake to me.
