Michelle Kwan couldn’t sleep. She tossed and turned in her bed for hours. The next morning, Michelle had to put her worries aside. It was time to skate. This event was her chance to come back from a terrible year. The gold-medal winner at the U.S. Nationals gets the chance to skate at the Winter Olympics. Michelle on the ice at the 1998 Nationals 4 1273_IceSkating.indd 4 6/22/06 12:23:34 PM Once, Michelle had been a champion. Her grace and skill had amazed judges and fans. Then everything went wrong. Her confi dence faded. She wasn’t winning as many competitions. She lost her joy for the sport. Many young skaters had risen to the top and then quickly disappeared. As she glided onto the ice, people wondered if this was the end for Michelle. During better times, Michelle Kwan performs at the World Championships in 1996. 5 1273_IceSkating.indd 5 6/22/06 12:23:40 PM Figure Skating Figure skating can be a nerve-racking sport. Scores between competitors can be separated by only a fraction of a point. In competitions, skaters perform a long and a short program in front of judges. During both programs, skaters show off their technical and artistic skills. In the short program, each skater performs a fi xed set of moves. They are judged on how well they do compared to the others. In the long program, skaters create routines matched to music and their own talents. Shizuka Arakawa, of Japan, in mid-jump during her short program at the 2006 Winter Olympics 6 1273_IceSkating.indd 6 7/10/06 2:01:40 PM As each skater performs combinations of jumps, turns, and spins, judges watch and award points. One wrong move can mean the difference between winning and losing. Sasha Cohen and Irina Slutskaya Sasha Cohen were favorites at the 2006 Winter Olympics. When both fell during their long programs, Shizuka Arakawa took the gold medal. 7 1273_IceSkating.indd 7 6/22/06 12:23:59 PM Index Arakawa, Shizuka 6–7 Lipinski, Tara 21, 24 long program 6–7, 19, 21, 23 Boitano, Brian 10 medals 4, 7, 10, 15, 17, 19, Calgary 10 21, 23, 24–25, 26, 29 Carroll, Frank 14–15, 23 Chen, Lu 19, 24 perfect scores (marks) 23, Cohen, Sasha 7 24–25 falls 7, 9, 14, 21 senior level 15, 16, 28 fi gure skating 6–7, 10, 29 short program 6, 23 Slutskaya, Irina 7 Henie, Sonja 27 Texas 16 Ice Castle International Torrance, California 9, 13, 28 Training Center triple jumps 19 12–13, 14, 28 judges 6–7, 18–19, 23–24 U.S. Nationals 4, 17, junior level 15 18–19, 21, 22–23, 24–25, 29 Kerrigan, Nancy 17 Kwan, Danny 8, 12–13 Winter Olympics 4, 6–7, 10, Kwan, Estella 8, 12 17, 24–25, 26, 29 Kwan, Karen 8–9, 11, 12–13, World Championships 5, 19, 15, 28 21, 24–25, 27, 29 Kwan, Ron 8 About the Author Michael Sandler lives and writes in Brooklyn, New York.

  • Michelle Kwan
    Michelle Kwan The most decorated figure skater in U.S. history, Michelle Kwan's skating brilliance and accomplishments have earned her a place among the all-time greats of the sport. For over a decade (1995-2005) Michelle dominated the sport like no other skater in history, winning an unprecedented 43 championships, including five World Championships, eight consecutive and nine overall U.S. National Championships and two Olympic medals. Most recently, Michelle was elected to the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame Class of 2012 as well as the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame as the only member of the Class of 2012. In the nearly 100-year history of U.S. figure skating, no American man or woman has won more world titles, national titles or Olympic medals. Michelle's activities off the ice have been equally noteworthy. In November 2006, the U.S. Secretary of State appointed Michelle as the first U.S. Public Diplomacy Envoy. In this capacity Michelle travels the world and meets with young people to speak about leadership and to engage them in dialogue on social and educational issues. In June 2010, President Obama appointed Michelle to the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition, a group that advises the President on ways to engage, empower and educate all Americans to lead active, healthy lifestyles. In December 2010, Michelle was elected to the Board of Directors of Special Olympics International, the organization's ultimate governing authority responsible for global affairs and strategies. Michelle graduated from the University of Denver in November 2008 with a degree in International Studies.

  • Comunicato Stampa
    PRESS RELEASE Applauses, encores and a standing ovation for Opera on Ice Lots of celebrities and authorities at the show Verona, 26th September 2012. Opera on Ice worked its magic again this year, and on Saturday night the Verona Arena was a full house. The 12,000 spectators enjoyed the skating show of the great champions that enthralled the public with as many as 3 encores. The many people who had been queuing up at the entrances since early in the afternoon, something that had not happened since the good old times of the opera at the Arena, show that Opera on Ice has fully achieved its goal of bringing young people closer to opera through skating. The night’s show, which will be aired on Canale 5 at Christmas with Alfonso Signorini and Costanza Calabrese as Masters of Ceremonies, showcased the world’s best skaters along with new opera talents accompanied by the over 200 singers and musicians of the Verona Arena’s Choir and Orchestra, with Fabio Mastrangelo as conductor. The 2012 show included the most famous arias, some of which are part of the Arena’s 2013 programme, such as Aida, Nabucco, La Traviata, Il Trovatore, Rigoletto and Roméo et Juliette.
