While not born in China, Michelle Kwan's father comes from Guangzhou and mom is from Hong Kong. She grew up in California and the entire family gave up everything to keep her on the ice. She has won more medals than any skater in history including 5 world championships. While she never won the Olympic Gold medal, her attitude about this was one of acceptance and grace. She currently studies at Denver University in International Politics. She has a small dog named Tofu which accompanies her to the rink everyday. Michelle owns her own beautiful ice rink in Artesia, Calif. (see www.eastwesticepalace.com). She also has a home in Manhattan Beach, CA not far from LAX airport.
