Default Michelle Kwan hits the Big Apple - WSF's Awards (10/14/08)
Michelle Kwan attended Women's Sports Foundation's 29th Annual Salute to Women in Sports in new York
An article posted on icenetwork.com
Quote:
As for a career, there might be a return to skating, or she may continue down the path she's currently on. She said another State Department trip is in the near future in her role as a U.S. Public Diplomacy Envoy
Quote:
"I see myself going on all different paths," Kwan said. "Maybe politician. There are a lot of things that I have gotten to experience on the surface. I don't know what's next. Perhaps grad school."
Michelle, no matter what you are going to do, you are a great skater, and will be a great politician too.

Wow, she looks utterly amazing -- how did I NOT hear about this?! Here are some beautiful photos of her at this event:
http://www.gettyimages.com/Search/Se...a%20-%20Inside

And arrival:

That dress looks phenomenal. Probably my favorite.

I'll add more pics later - am at work.. but wanted to post these.

I particularly like this one:

She looks absolutely fabulous in that dress. Purple is definitely her color. Michelle comes across in the interview as very happy
and content with her life, what more can a fan ask for. Thanks for posting the article.

There is nothing better than a Michelle Kwan smile!

Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl and you should know it!
With each glance and every little movement you show it!
Love is all around ......

Purple is my favorite color and she looks utterly outstanding in it. Michelle Kwan, always beautiful!

I agree. That dress has great line, and the color looks great with her complexion and dark hair.

Too bad she did not (or could not) reveal her destination on the diplomatic trip that she mentioned.

Here are some wonderful photos Lois Elfman decided to graciously share with the rest of us at the forum:

First picture of MK at the arrival
http://mkforum.net/wp-content/upload...0/p1010823.jpg

The woman in the photo with her is U.S. Olympian, track star Sanya Richards, who won a bronze medal in Beijing in the 400 meters and gold in the 4x400 relay.
http://mkforum.net/wp-content/upload...0/p1010826.jpg

Lois commented to me that MK is looking absolutely great and more fit than she was last year.

And from Flickr's Steward of NY - candid shots of MK and other athletes.

Saw the great pics yesterday, thanks to everyone. But somehow missed the article.

After reading Michelle's words, I think I can finally say, although I'd love to see her skate, I believe I can be content if she doesn't return to competition or even exhibition. She sounds so excited and happy. How could I be anything but excited and happy for her?

Michelle, I don't know if you secretly read these or not, but if you do I want to say, whatever you do, do it with all that's within you, as you always have, and have fun doing it.

Is it me, or has she *never* looked better? The dress is spectacular! I love the color, the fit, the little train, and I bet the color is even more stunning in person. I love her long hair and her smile. She's like the Kween of the women athletes.

Shawn Johnson is so adorable!
