I don't think there's another skater on the planet who has earned such respect and sheer LOVE from fans, of figure skating and sports in general. Kwan is still the face of US figure skating, and the standard. She's still the skater who excites an audience at shows like no one else (when she went to S. Korea she got a reception like the Beatles). In every discussion/article about today's skating, her name is mentioned in glowing terms. And for once, the hype is justified!!!
@mlc2005 Hardly...this lol is not beloved as much as you might think...she's delusional enough to think so and so full of herself that anything to the contrary can't be allowed to reach her dainty delicate ears...of course her name is mentioned....all the time where fs is....she is a pathetic pitiable little person who needs the sympathy. Hang around long enough and you get to be well known...anyway...this isn't any biggee...and thank God that she will never ever wear Olympic Gold...
@getrealandsee I am leaving this video...I am making no futher comments on it...it has to be muted as it is...that woman has no shame, honor, or integrity...none whatsoever...peace out:)
Well, I checked the criteria for this 'honor' and this here is no bigee....of course since Kwan is so narcissistic there had to be a huge deal made out of it...she isn't about to allow anything low key...high profile is the name of her game...but no bigee this honor...and of course she is the only one honored here...she's THIRTY for God's sake....anyone with any sort of self respect would have moved on years ago!! I know, I know...a standing ovation for poor little wannabe tragic heroine Kwan.
@getrealandsee she went back to college and got her master's and is involved in diplomacy and charities. how is that not moving on? all the hall of fame inductees were inducted in their 30's and later on except for sarah and tara. try harder you pathetic troll. you may think the internet protects your anonymity but one of these days your professional life may be soiled by your history of stalking
@getrealandsee: Jeez getreal, you have to ruin every fucking moment don't you? I wish someone would just block you, b/c you contribute absolutely nothing to any discussion about Kwan. Your comment here is as bad as all your others, and I truly hope either your internet/computer dies, you develop a new obsession, or you (best of all) grow a heart and some integrity. That would be lovely.
Michelle Kwan is one of the greatest skaters in the world in history. Whether you love her or hate her, you can't change the fact and history, especially in this digital era. People can learn the facts from many sources.
getrealandsee has been stalking michelle kwan videos for over 6 years now, they spend every day spamming her videos with endless hate comments and have multiple accounts that they often use to respond to themselves with. don't bother reading their comments as they like to change their argument depending on the video as long as they can use them to bash michelle
@getrealandsee why even try anymore to lie about it anymore? everyone KNOWS about you. even michelle's non fans talk about you as a joke on figure skating forums and have for years now.
@callasalive I am not lying...not that I care about what you think....as far as being a joke? That would be Michelle Kwan you are speaking of...not me. Enjoy talking about me if it amuses you....
Yeah Michelle!! Not only she carried the sport of figure skating, she was the best of the sport.Her bashers will never accept her excellent skill and bringing credibility to the sport or even rising above the OGM to become one of the greats in any sport. Yes her bashers will have to deal with all the praise and awards Kwan will get through her life, but this is the reality. Michelle instead of fading away in some ice show , is dealing with world leaders and historical figures of our time.
@chapstickgurl1 I appreciate your not blocking me...I am not a hater....I just have no use for kwan...what she did to the sport of figure skating...the damage to the credibility of it as a true sport...especially in 2006 but even before that...I don't know how it happened...if there were pay offs or backroom deals....2006 was for sure a horrible slam...the rules were NOT followed and she just plain made a mockery of USFS..and look at her...no regrets...no shame...just lapping up the attention.
@getrealandsee There is no question that you are a LYING hater. In fact, you smear even Olympic Gold medalists Peggy Fleming and Dick Button, and call Emily Hughes a liar -- all in order to attack Kwan based upon those LIES.
You should be blocked because you even lie about your obvious lie-basd hatred of Kawn.
@chapstickgurl1 Well, despite your subject matter in this video you did an awesome job:) A lot of kwan's bling was handed to her...she didn't win the bronze in SLC...Sasha did...she was handed a lot of titles and at one even even the audience booed her 'win'. She wasn't a great skater..had a few good programs of course...you hang around long enough and of course you'll perform well at times. She was also a very very poor sport....all the talk of 5/9....just boasting and bragging.
King Kaufman’s Sports Daily Michelle Kwan: Only the Olympics matter, and she never won
Figure-skating people will put her in their Hall of Fame and forever think of her as a member of the pantheon. But for the rest of us, she had two chances to prove her greatness and she didn’t answer the bell. For all the syrupy accolades...this is the real deal...SHE IS NOT AT THE ELITE LEVEL...just a wannabe and gathered enough pity votes to get into the FSHOF She thinks she's the best...she's wrong.
if there is anyone that i would looove to meet in the whole world, it would be michelle kwan. shes the reason why i went into figure skating and is a great role model. i started tearing up watching the dedication vid and i only wish i couldve been there to see it but i live 4 hrs away from san jose :(
count me in with the many who cant thank you enough for this. This was a well deserved honour! Skating just isnt the same without her, I will be ever grateful for getting to be part of the Kwan Era!
I am so happy she acknowledged Frank Carrol and Lori Lori Nichol - they were both so instrumental in her growth as a figure skater. Even though they parted professionally, it's great to hear that they all still respect each other.
No matter how many gold medals future skaters will receive, no matter how many awards and honors that skaters like Yu Na and many others have acquired, Michelle Kwan will alway receive the greatest honor of all, something even a gold medal isn't really worth it. It is like a receiving a highest honor well fitting as a tribute and is well deserving for the most admired and accomplish athlete. It is a crowning achievement to Michelle Kwan's career as an exceptional athlete.
@skategurl1102 I knew that since the Nats were in Cali that she would be there in front of the microphones and cameras...no, the figure skating world is much much cleaner and purer w/o her her ......she is the lol of figure skating....
Thank you for posting this! I bet the arena was full of people with tears in their eyes! Mine definitely was throughout Michelle's speech. Thank you Michelle for so many wonderful skating memories!!!
Thank you, you did an awesome job with this. I have been checking since Saturday in hopes someone would post this and the quality is amazing. I'm happy for her but so sad that this portion of her life is over.
@clintonrgandy1 I've been strugglijng for words to say exactly that: so happy for her, so sad that this part of her life is over. She was already missed -- the sport diminished without her.
" I've been strugglijng for words to say exactly that: so happy for her, so sad that this part of her life is over. She was already missed -- the sport diminished without her."

She has always been a class act. The sport needs a true star like her again. Thank you, Michelle for being an amazing sportswoman and role model. You go girl!
@RevShaqueefa I've not watched much of his skating, but I've come to like Brian Boitano. And there couldn't have been a better choice for her induction. He clearly adores her, and she him.
Thank you so much for uploading this! She is my favorite of favorites! One of a kind! The best!
