Always proud of Michelle !

Here's another mention:
"The five-time world figure skating champion and two-time Olympics medalist will be part of the U.S. delegation for the opening ceremonies at the Special Olympics World Summer Games next month in Shanghai, China...."

Gotta love the Kwan... In a world of young celebs and athletes run amok, she continues to inspire and represent both her sport and country with intellegence, style and grace...

does anybody know if miss kwan is still attending the university in colorado? She seems to be doing quite a few outside activites as a delegate and stuff, so i was just wondering if she was also going to college full time?

I would think that she gets credits for her public diplomacy envoy work -- she is minoring in international relations.

I think her plan was to transfer back to UCLA. I don't know if she is taking classes ths semester or not.

I agree. I miss Michelle too. I really loved her skating. Maybe someday we will be lucky and see her skating again. She is a good role model.
