		Kwan has been through this before, but she was in Hughes' spot in 1994.

	Kwan Yin
		There I experienced how strongly Kwan Yin is expressed in nature, in the sound of the waves on the beach, in the sea wind, the heat of the sun, the buzzing of cicadas in the trees.
		I had begun to understand that Kwan Yin is not a way to focus outward but her image, wholeheartedly addressed, gives us a way to go deeply into ourselves.
		Because Kwan Yin has that propensity to be present in daily life, I wanted to explore her presence in the lives of actual contemporary women, and also to give people some practices with which to contact her and keep her present in their lives.

		This was not how Kwan wanted it all to end, if this in fact is the end of her competitive career, which certainly seems likely.
		That Kwan made it to 25 before finally having to stop because of a recurring groin injury is another feather in a stuffed cap.
		Then, when Kwan realized she couldn't do it, she was true to her January promise that if she were not 100%, she would withdraw and give her spot to alternate Emily Hughes.

	Kwan's withdrawal brings end to career - Boston.com
		Michelle Kwan heads home from the Turin Olympics empty-handed, betrayed by a body that carried her to nine U.S. championships and five world titles, but no Olympic gold.
		The Kwan who came to Turin was past her prime, with only one major international victory since 2001 and very few competitive appearances outside the United States.
		By then, Kwan will be deep into contemplating her future, which almost certainly won't include competitive skating.

		As a freshman at UCLA, Kwan was challenged at the start to balance her studies with her love for skating.
		Kwan won her fourth national championship in a very unconvincing way.

	Kwan Yin
		Kwan Yin is known as the Chinese Goddess of Compassion, or "she who hears the cries of the world".

		On Janauary 27th in Los Angeles, Kwan performed a short and long program in front of a five-member committee that deemed them to be of "Olympic caliber" and thus allowed Kwan to keep her position on the Torino roster.

	deseretnews.com \| Kwan still lustrous without a gold medal
		Kwan knew something was wrong Saturday when she botched a triple flip.
		Though the groin injury isn't career-threatening, Kwan wouldn't speculate on her future, saying, "I can't think past right now." But the Olympic silver and bronze medalist will be 29 during the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and a gold is highly unlikely.
		Kwan leaped into the figure skating consciousness 13 years ago, when two months before her 12th birthday, without telling her coach, she took — and passed — the senior level test that would allow her to skate "against the big guys."

		Kwan had been called selfish for requesting and taking an Olympic spot that could have gone to Emily Hughes at the national championships, more than a month ago.

	City Pages - Kwan Manasseh Versus Himself
		Kwan was in with the guys there for a while, a bona fide member of the Circle.
		Mostly, Kwan figures, that's because he shacked up with women he didn't love; he was with them because it meant that he wouldn't have to be on the street.
		Kwan's last victory is a distant memory: a second-round knockout of the journeyman Laverne "Fists of Fury" Clark in Chicago on February 2, 2001.

	Bondy: Kwan's great, but never as an Olympian - Figure skating - MSNBC.com
		Michelle Kwan was undone by a botched triple flip at her first Olympic practice, a lousy way for the five-time world champion to exit the biggest of all arenas.
		You can’t compare her to Ernie Banks or Patrick Ewing, because Kwan is in an individual sport that doesn’t entail the help or hindrance of teammates.
		Kwan probably knew that, somewhere deep inside, when she waved from the podium with her bronze medal in 2002.

		Kwan is meticulous in detailing the many people who havesupported her and aided her career.
		In 1997 Kwan's career was only just beginning, and her ghostwriter Laura James was left with little to do except narrate a pedestrian and repetitive account of Kwan's childhood and her early skating career, leavened with occasional bits of bland philosophising.
