#IAm 

Michelle has always carried herself with such authenticity and grace. She is truly an inspiration.

I SO wanted Michelle to win the GOLD!! She still gets emotional when speaking about the sport she loves.

So interesting; Michelle was so honest with her skating and brought us so far into her world, into her being, that when she didn't win gold, it hurt. To this day, I STILL HURT, and I'm not even Michelle Kwan. That's how much her skating touched me. From her Salome program onward, she revolutionized what it meant to be an "artistic" figure skater. And who could forget those pressure-filled moments where she had to deliver; and she did! When I used to have big days coming up as a journalist (election coverage, etc.) I had to be "on." So, I watched Michelle Kwan performances the night before, hoping her nerves of steel would rub off onto me through the screen. She was a motivating force then, and even more so today. We love you Michelle!!!!!!!

She is a legend! She is “The Greatest of All Time”!

She has matured so much, so well spoken.

I was sad when she wasn't able to achieve a gold medal during her Olympics...but when I reflect and look back...it doesn't really matter in that she inspired so many people on and off the ice. Plus a silver and bronze medal are impeccable achievements...and she would have probably medaled in 06 if she didn't have to withdraw because of an injury. I don't think many people realize how good Kwan was. It is nice to see her now and reflect on all that her family sacrificed for her to live her dream. Much love to you, Michelle! :)

Oh Michelle! The true winner of the 1998 Olympic Gold. You are such a legend - you are bigger than any competition or medal. Thank you for all you gave to the sport and the fans.

The GOAT of Figure Skating!

I always look at her when she do her spiral, she’s flying like a saan so beautiful!

My favourite skater of all time. The one and only. Love her so much still.

I remember michelle Kwan being celebrated by the country in figure skating, she was a champion and her race was never an issue. She was was held with such high regard simply based on her merit, that was great to see.

Her skating had so much heart, and her music and costumes were always exciting and creative.

This makes me love her even more! So inspiring!

I don't think I really grew up looking for an Asian American role model... but if it were anyone, it was Michelle Kwan in the 1998 Olympics. It was the first time I saw a person that was both Asian and American, performing, competing in the very top tier of their specialization. She was one of the OGs in Asian American representation.

I use to watch her when I was younger

Michelle Kwan was figure skating when I was growing up. She was skilled, masterful, the artistry she brought to the sport and she was a champion, celebrated and that was great to see as an asian american.

I have always loved Michelle Kwan since I was super little. She will always hold a special place in my heart.

What an amazing, inspiring, and classy lady. Michelle is still my favorite athlete today. I look forward to seeing more great things from her in the future!

So great to pictures of Michele wearing the necklace from her grandmother again!

You are the greatest! Michelle . I love you. I am 75. I have watched you since 1995.

I love this young lady so much!

My absolute favorite figure skater who embodies grace, athleticism, determination, and singular artistry. You are truly the best, Michelle!! Love You, and thanks for sharing this story!

out of all the skaters in the history of the sport there was no one better than Michelle Kwan on and off the ice. I saw one of her performances with total absolute perfection and this performance was outstandingly beautiful as she is.

Uihjdvfkjdsfcvmkvsdfkjnsdnkfsdkjkjhdsfkjhdbskjhsdfkjshdkfkweash❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉❤

Michelle I am in fifth grade and I am reading your autobiography story about your life skating and y love it but I laugh in the part that you take the test to be in the elite group when you was young and your choroegrapher get furious because he think that you were very young and it was true

Unlike. Gold

She wouldn't have any issue with her race

:L

Once Again no gold

Do you still think that the Russian girl deserves the gold medal? Shame on you

You went to the Olympics without a Coach. You screwed up.

I love her
