So thankful for all the love I received after my scary car accident last week. Luckily I came through it unscathed - just a few visits to the chiropractor/PT and I’m good as new ?

ENJOY!

As always, with proper and due respect to the late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his legacy...

Happy Michelle L. Kwan Day!

Michelle - simply the best and always my favorite! Miss her lovely skating and very happy to see the video of her skating on the frozen lake

Thanks to all the crap happening, I decided to rewatch some old Kwan videos, and I think we fans are sleeping on her 1998 Goodwill Games performances. They were excellent pick-me-ups. That New York crowd was in love with her and it was probably the best ovation she's had in her competitive career, and that's saying something. It was also an Olympic-sized rink but her speed was tops (much faster than Nagano) and jumps looked on fire with a lot of height (for her). Sure she messed up that loop and doubled that Salchow, but somehow it added more drama leading up to that final Lutz.

Should Biden win the nomination and win the presidency, it will be interesting to see what position Michelle will be offered.

She hasn't retired! She's just been doing other things! :

 

[attyfan]

Michelle is 40??!! I feel so old ... it was yesterday that she was the fresh faced alternate to the Oly team of Tonya and Nancy.

Happy Birthday Michelle!

 

[VGThuy]

Happy 40th! I feel like we’ve been growing up together as crazy as that sounds.

 

[skatingfan5]

Echoing @attyfan -- Michelle turning 40 makes me feel very old. I remember when she turned 21 and that seemed hard to believe.
Happy Birthday to the Kween!

 

[binbinwinwin]

Happy Birthday to the Kween! Can't believe she's 40, I've spent a lifetime with her yet she's still young in the grand scheme of things.

 

[aftershocks]

Lovely Michelle, ma belle, wishing you the Happiest Birthday ever!

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

Many happy returns to the Kween!

 

[Coco]

And Nastia is 30...I know, different sport. But somehow...sheesh! We're all getting older!

Happy Birthday Kween!

Looks like she is somewhere in Joshua Tree. Looks peaceful just like her (even when doing a celebratory dance). ????? Happy 40th!

I think I say this every year but I so love seeing Irina Slutskaya and Kwan interacting on Instagram. She gave Kwan a sweet happy birthday message there.

 

[paskatefan]

Happy B'day to "The Kween!" ? ⛸

 

[bardtoob]

In the past the Kween used to be inspiring ... Now she just looks too good at 40 to be true ... Sheesh!
