At the first U.S team practice in Turin, she had a new groin injury that prevented her from competing. Kwan claimed to “Respect the Olympics too much to compete”, and then withdrew from the U.S. team. The U.S. team that had a spot for her only with the help of a medical waiver, that is. WHAT A CRAPPY CHOICE FOR A COMMENCEMENT SPEAKER>>>PHONY< A LIAR AND CHEAT WHO DESTROYED OTHERS DREAMS TO ADVANCE HERSELF!
“. . .the finest moments is not necessarily when you finished first but simply when you gave it your best, when you did it with heart and soul and held nothing back. . .’the important thing in life is not the triumph but the struggle, the central thing is not to have conquered but to have fought well.’”
Michelle Kwan, Commencement Address 2010 Southern Vermont College
Wow, what an honor that Dr. Kwan has rightfully acquired. May she put her experiences to good use and for a great purpose. Congratulations!
