Ice to a T

Sarah Hughes Talk about sweet 16! First, the teen from Great Neck, N.Y., pulled off the best performance of her life as the world watched, telling NBC's reporter: ''There was no pressure on me to win. I skated for pure enjoyment.'' Then we all waited as Sasha Cohen tumbled, Michelle Kwan fumbled, and Irina Slutskaya bumbled. When a visit to the judges final scorecards resulted in a blinding feat of math worthy of ''A Beautiful Mind'''s John Nash, Ms. Hughes had managed the seemingly impossible: winning the games' biggest gold medal in the same year she became eligible for her learner's permit.
