Ladies and gentlemen: the lovely and incredible Michelle Kwan. She is sheer determination and is completely unstoppable. What moves me about Kwan is she has so many amazing achievements and, with each one, the excitement and love of life is so clearly written on her face. You can tell how much it means to her. Just imagine all the work she has built into her performances.
Kwan is the ultimate athlete. She has accomplished what she has set out to do, consistently landing amazing jumps (more on this in a bit) and has shined in the spotlight. Like my favorite figure skater, Sasha Cohen, she also shows great care in the artistry of her programs. I like to wonder what a skater, with Kwan's drive and accomplishment, and Sasha's musicality and flexibility, might be like--actually how amazing would these ladies be in pole fitness...?! Well. That would be nothing short of spectacular to say the least!
