Kwan tabbed as top
U.S. amateur athlete
NEW YORK (AP) —
Michelle Kwan had a different
reason to cry this time.
Kwan, the most accomplished
figure skater of her generation,
won the 2001 Sullivan Award as
the nation’s top amateur athlete
Tuesday night.
“I’m already a little teary-
eyed,’’ Kwan said. “I always
wanted to be a
legend. ... It
feels like a
dream come
true.”
Kwan said
she was hum
bled to have
won the same
award as Dick KWAN
Button, who
took the Sullivan in 1949 — the
only other figure skater to win
the award.
Despite her four world cham
pionships and six U.S. titles,
Kwan might be best known for
finishing second behind Tara
Lipinski in the 1998 Winter
Olympics and third behind Sarah
Hughes in the 2002 Games.
She beat four other finalists
for the Sullivan: middle distance
runner Alan Webb, holder of the
national high school record in
the mile; swimmer and Olympic
hopeful Natalie Coughlin;
Chicago Cubs pitching prospect
Mark Prior and gymnast Sean
Townsend. All attended the cere
mony, held at the New York
Athletic Club.
Coughlin narrowly missed
going to the Sydney Olympics in
2000 and hopes to represent the
United States in Athens.
Prior was the Cubs’ second
pick in last June’s amateur draft.
Townsend won the first individ
ual gold at the world champi
onships for an American man
since 1979, when Bart Conner
won the parallel bars and Kurt
Thomas won the floor exercise
and high bar.
But Kwan has all of those
prestigious titles to her name, as
well as millions of dollars in
endorsements.
The only gap in her skating
resume is that elusive Olympic
gold medal.
She has not decided yet
whether she will try for gold in
2006 in Turin, Italy. But it is a
question she can not avoid.
“I got that four years ago, and
I’m getting it now,” Kwan said.
“A lot of people think I’m older
than I am.”
