JOANNIE ROCHETTE'S SHORT PROGRAM
The Canadian figure skater took to the ice two days after the sudden death of her mother and delivered a near-perfect program. Afterward, she (understandably) burst into tears as the crowd cheered, a scene so moving, Scott Hamilton's voice broke mid-commentary. It was truly heartbreaking. And great TV. (Rochette's long program was similarly moving and masterful: She took the bronze medal.)
