A salute to Michelle Kwan

I turned on the computer this morning to find out that Michelle Kwan just dropped out of the Olympic games due to her injury. Honestly, I am saddend by this turn of events because like many others I was hoping that she would win gold.

Michelle Kwan is an example of the true Olympic spirit of pushing yourself beyond your limits and enduring the endurable. But she also has the courage and honor to walk way when she realized she could not perform to her own expectations and gave up her spot for another future Olympian.

You are always a winner in my heart and millions of others, Michelle. Shed no tears Michelle, for you have have nothing to be sad about.
