Michelle KwanLorraine HahnWelcome to Talk Asia, I'm Lorraine Hahn. This week an Asian-American figure skater who's been described as the best American skater ever, Michelle Kwan has won 2 Olympic medals, 4 world championships and 6 US rifles. All that and she is only 22 years old. She burst onto the scene in 1996 when she became world champion at the, age of 15. Kwan has been a celebrity1 ever since, especially in the US where she's considered a role model for American children. She performs around the world and she is a global spokeswoman2 for the Disney Corporation. That relationship includes Kwan getting involved in everything from the company's theme3 parks to its various media assets4 including voiceover5 work in cartoons. We'll get to that a little bit later on, but first let me welcome figure skater Michelle Kwan to the show. Michelle, thank you so much for being here. It is a pleasure to meet you. Tell me about your trip here in Hong Kong, what are you doing?It's amazing to be a part of the Disney family.Michelle KwanWell it's nice to come to Hong Kong. It's amazing to be a part of the Disney family. I was skating yesterday with Disney On Ice. I'm here for both pleasure and business, mostly pleasure.LHGood, that's good news. How often do you get to come to Hong Kong?MKWell I haven't been back for a few years now and it's a shame because I used to come here for the summers and spend a couple of months here with my grandmother and uncle that are still living here but since I traveled in the summer right, the time in Hong Kong, I don't get to spend this much time in Hong Kong. You know, coming here is very special to me because my mom was born and raised here and my dad was born in Canton, not too far and so coming here, its, its like a reunion6.LHRight, let me talk to you a bit about your skating schedule here. I mentioned earlier you won the US championship right, you came in 2nd for the World Championships, 3rd for the Olympic Winter Games, how are you preparing for this new season.MKWell, this year it's a little different for me because I feel that I have competed for so many years and usually I say ok, I am going to focus on the National Championships. I am going to focus on this, it's always a competition. But this year being on tour for 4 1/2 months I said "Ok Michelle if I decide to compete, I'll decide to compete but lye got to be ready of course". I'm always in concentrating7 mode when I'm on the ice, I'm very serious and very focused, and no distractions8 and the National Championships are in January so that's my next big goal.LHIs this sort of geared to any particular goal?MKThe goal is always to skate well. I mean when you decide to compete you have to makesure that you're 100% ready and I thought I was going to take it easy this year, maybe take a year off or 2 and its like that Godfather saying...as if... though I don't re- member which Godfather, but he says, "as far as it goes, you are us", no, they just pull me back in. It just feels that way; because I can never say ok, I am done with skating, coz it will always be a part of my life.LHRight, I know. I mean I understand you always mapped out your life right; you're always like one year pre-booked, but now it's a bit different, right?MKIt is very different for me, I feel that I have so many opportunities9 now, so many doors opened, with...skating has opened so many doors and I want to test things out and just have fun and get a taste of everything.LHWhat is it, a change of attitude or you are getting older now, you are growing up, or what is it?MKI think, for me, when I was younger, skating was everything, I mean, it was just everything. I lived only for skating and now it's I don't take it as seriously, I mean that's thing that I don't care as much, but just not putting all my eggs in one basket and knowing that it is a part of my life and it will always be, but I want also to branch out and do other things as well.LHBut it's tougher now, isn't it. I mean you're skating against 17 year olds or possibly younger, I am not saying you are old, ok but I mean do you feel like there is a lot more pressure on you,MKThere is always a certain amount of pressure on skaters especially nowadays, the demands in triple-triple combinations, quad10 jumps, triple axel11 and I think there is also a limitation, of course, I mean skating has evolved into triple-triples. I think that you have to balance your life and it's hard as a figure skater as someone who is very ambitious, and wants to go to school, have a social life, have...you just have to prioritize12.LHNow, is it true that you have a good luck charm that you wear every time you skate?MKYes, I doLHAnd you are wearing it, Wow!MKYes. I've never taken it off. Since I... I've had it on for 12 years now.LH12 years?MKGrandmother gave it to me and I wear it every time. There are sometimes, I mean some photographers they always ask me, "it's not, It's clashing with your outfit13.'' like "Do you take it off? " and I say "it's impossible, no",The Olympic medal is not everythingThat was Michelle Kwan in competition. Michelle won a silver medal at the Winter Olympics in Nagano14 in 1998. Last year at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, she took home the bronze medal. In both Olympics, Michelle was a favorite for gold. Michelle, how did that make you feel when you couldn't pick up that Gold Medal.MKIt was disappointing. I mean it wasn't the performance of my life in both the Olympics in '98 and in 2002. You know for me, I feel that you try do the Pest, there are no regrets, I worked hard, and it just wasn't my moment, in my moments and, I've had a lot of great moments in figure skating, at the World championships, at National championships and it's just...one of those things you know like, darn15! You know.LHSo you are going to try harder right?MKGot to, never give up! And in 2006 it's still possible. Its one of those things - the elusive16 gold medal but maybe I will give it an- other shot and just see what happens.LHSo maybe or definitely?MKMaybe.LHMaybe, still maybe uh! Is it the medal that keeps you going or is it the love for the sport?MKIt's more for the love of the sport. The Olympic medal is not everything because I don't believe that, 6 minutes on the ice is worth all the, waiting 4 years, it's not a waiting game. I feel that it's every performance, it's every day on the ice and it's just not one day - it's everyday. If I never win the Olympics, I'll still be content. I have my family, I have my friends and I have a great skating career and its something that's just, maybe it's time for, maybe its not, very proud of what I have done and it's just a medal.LHHow much do your parents support you, did they watch you all the time, you know.MKI lost words, Oh! No I think they are incredible. My dad stood by the boards at the Olympic games when I didn't have a coach. The moment, I mean that I have been looking forward to since I was 5 years old and he was there, and he'd just pass words, "1 love you, doesn't matter" and that's sort of made me feel you know this is, this is what it is all about, the love of the sport, have my family here and...LHThat was the most important right. That really counted17.MKYeah, really counted.LHYou are of Chinese heritage18; you were born though and raised in the United States. How Chinese are you?I'm so fortunate, because I live, I'm the luckiest person - great Chinese heritage, born and raised in America and it's really important that I can say that I am proud to be Chinese-American.I understand and I am still learning about my Chinese heritage. I talk to my grandfather in Chinese, in broken Chinese...LHCantonese?MKYea, in Cantonese and he tells me wonderful stories, at the time when he was living in China.LHWow! So a little bit of the Chineseness is still in there.MKYes.LHGood, good. I mean, I read that you get interested at the age of 5 in figure skating; you won your first figure skating championship at 7. Tell me about those days. I mean what attracted19 you, a 5-year-old to figure skating, was it a little pretty dress or what was it?MKIt wasn't a pretty dress, you know, I didn't have a dress till it was my 1st competition when I was 7 years old. Now I remember holding on to the boards and falling. I think it was, was that I wanted to get better; I wanted to be the girl who was spinning already, I was leaking at her and I was like, in awe20 and my brother was skating around, he had started playing hockey earlier on ...LHSlightly different?MKYea, slightly different, but he was going faster than I was, so I am very competitive and just wanted to get better and it was a big challenge and constantly gives me a challenge.LHNow is it true that you would sleep in your Outfits21.MKYes, skating dresses,LHReally?MKTights...LHWhy? You loved it so much.MKWell, I loved it and also when you practice at 4:45 in the morning as a kid you'd like, "ok, save time, I can sleep a little more, if I put on and sleep with my skating dress on", and I also gave my dad the idea, maybe I can put my skates on and so he put my skates on, "but with them, how can you get up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom or something you fall over." So I said, "Ok, I understand." But I was always eager to get on this.Now as an Asian American, you skate around the world, and you've gone to International competitions, the be all and end all. Not too many other Asians have made a name for themselves internationally like you have, maybe some Japanese and Chinese, why do you think this is?MKWell it's hard for me to comment on that because I believe there has been, and I see that there are a lot more skaters from all over the world, that are, you know, coming up, up 'n' comers. And I see a lot of talent, every- where even going to that ice rink yesterday, I saw little kids, so you know they can get there someday.I'll probably be 60 so I'll strap on my skates, go out there just for exercise.LHVery much like Tiger Woods, Michelle, you are a role model to many. How does it make you feel, I mean, does that put pressure on you?MKWhen I was really young and at the world level, I realized you know that I was at the spotlight22 and that young kids will look up to me as a role model, I take that role very seriously. And I understand that and as a kid I had many role models, my parents for one, Brian Boitano, even my sister, I mean, anyone can be a role model; and I think it's important to set an ex- ample and influence people in a positive23 way. And to some people if might add pressure but to me its just being yourself and understanding what kind of role you are or role model you are to young kids.LHRight. What about school. I mean, you went to UCLA, right, you are off school now.MKI have to finish my education. I will and it is one of my top priorities24, when I took this quarter off, and next quarter I will have to see. And I always have the philosophy as...thought that if you are dedicated to something, you finish it and...right now I cannot put my 1 00% into school.LHWhat do you want to take? Do you know what you wanna take up in university when you go back.MKPsychology25, Major in Psychology and Political Science.LHPolitical Science. What do you want to do with that?MKWe'll see. Psychology, I have always been very interested in, not only in Sports Psychology but also understanding the human mind, I mean how it works and just for my own benefit; and then Political Science, understanding everything else in the world that is happening.LHEver think you can give up skating.MKGive up skating? I can't say I'll ever, I mean I"11 probably be 60 so I'll strap on my skates, goout there just for exercise.MKFor me, skating is always been like a dream, a fantasy because I feel like I am living a dream. Being interviewed, being able to travel around the world, being a spokes- person for Disney, it's all come so quickly, and I feel that, I'm very lucky and got to enjoy every minute of it. I mean knock on wood, that I am healthy, and everything is good and I can't believe that my career has been this long already, you know being at the world level for 1 0 years.LHI know, a decade. Hasn't time flown by?MKYa, and I see glimpses26 of, when I was 13 and I look at tapes all the time. I think it was yesterday, but there again it's like change so much.LHNow when will we see you next?MKNational Championships.LHI know. Will it be a different Michelle Kwan on the ice? I know you have always been known for stretching the, you know the tunes you choose etc, right. Is that, is any of that gonna change?MKI am always trying to reinvent27 myself on the ice and it's a process, I mean people see me on the ice and they expect one thing and it's always hard, because there is only a certain way you can do the triple jump, I mean a triple salchow28 will always be a triple salchow no matter what. It's just a salchow. But with music, with costume, I try to jazz it up a little bit, surprise them at the Nationals. It will be a surprise. I work with a different choreographer, with a different coach, skating in a different rink, working with a new trainer. So it's all new and I am hoping that people will be refreshed29, like how I feel.LHWell l am looking forward personally to watching you although I know I will have to watch it on television. But thank you very much. Good luck, good luck to you.MKThank you. Thank you very much.原文链接：/thread-671-1-1.html冰上蝴蝶关颖珊韩玉花欢迎来到"亚洲对话"，我是韩玉花。

“冰美人”关颖珊以硕士学业为重
2010-12-20
为完成硕士课程，“冰美人”关颖珊把复出的念头搁在一旁。

美国华裔花样滑冰女将关颖珊（Michelle Kwan），曾考虑在今年2月的温哥华冬季奥运会复出，冲击个人首枚奥运金牌。

不过，她最后却以学业为重，放弃了这个想法。

这位五届世界冠军今天下午将以表演嘉宾的身份，出席滨海湾金沙溜冰场的开幕仪式。

关颖珊（30岁）昨天表示，尽管自己非常想念参加花滑竞赛，但她目前优先考虑的是完成在塔夫茨大学修读的国际事务硕士课程，因此不太可能重返溜冰场。

她说：“我很想念花滑，非常想念。

”
关颖珊曾在1998年长野冬奥会摘取银牌，也在2002年盐湖城冬奥会收获铜牌，但就是与金牌无缘。

所以，她在温哥华冬奥会前，投入大量训练，看看自己是否还能完成昔日的招牌动作。

她说：“问问我周围的亲朋好友就知道，我向来目标分明。

但我却必须在学业和滑冰之间作出非常困难的决定。

后来我说：”现在对我来说，最重要的`是硕士学位。

‘所以我就决定往这条路走。

“
被誉为史上最了不起的花滑运动员之一的关颖珊，曾赢得史上最多的43项大赛锦标，包括五项世界冠军头衔，以及九届美国全国冠军，独缺奥运金牌。

她上一次冲击金牌，是在2006年都灵冬奥会，结果却因为在赛前训练受了伤，无奈退赛。

被问及是否愿意拿世界世界冠军头衔来换取奥运金牌时，关颖珊说：“不愿意。

虽然奥运会是花滑和其他运动最高水平的竞赛，但关键不在于奥运场上的那6分钟。

关键在于过程，在于对这项运动的热爱。

”。
