I don't know Japanese but a poster on FSU, in the thread http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/showthread.php?t=41258, wrote:


"Here's a funny story I'd like to share.
Michelle (Kwan) came and without a word, handed me a green sweat shirt.
I asked "From who?" to which she replied "Me". I held it out to find a picture of a podium, with a girl waving on the top of it printed in the front. Michelle smilled and said "That's you." I didn't expect her to be such a funny person with a great sense of humor. I was touched by this surprising gift."

Michelle is just so awesome! I'm glad she and others in COI are doing what they can to make her feel welcome.

Shiz also said that she took a picture with Michelle wearing that green sweater, and that she will load the photo up on her website. I cannot wait to see it!

Michelle has such beautiful manners, a rarity these days.

[MKandNYYfan]

Wow...what a very sweet thing to do! It's amazing she can acknowledge Shizuka as a Champion like that, as disappointing as she must be that she doesn't have that GM. Shows how beautiful Michelle is, inside and out.

haha thats so cute. glad they're having fun :)

[MFarone]

Wow that is so sweet. Just thinking about Michelle and the OGM brings tears to my eyes. Michelle is such a class act.

That's Michelle for you. A class act.

Cool stories. So very consistent with Michelle's other demonstrations of genuine inclusion of others. Remember the MKF poster who got to know the tech guys and one said that Michelle was the only skater who came over and introduced herself and welcomed him to the show? It goes with Johnny's comment that Michelle is the kind of person who would give you her coat if you were cold. I love hearing these personal tidbits. Thanks.

Love it love it. I just love Michelle even more. My two favorite skaters must be having so much fun on COI. Too sad, I am sick and can't go to the SJ one. :( I was really hoping to take pictures even if the tickets are not so good and the seats are way high :)

I love hearing those stories too. Without even counting all the medals, Danny & Estelle should be so proud of their daughter. They did a good job!

Michelle is so sweet! She's just lovable, that no one can deny.

Cooked her a batch of cookies? lol

[sric]

I wonder what Sasha had done to welcome Shizuka?
Don't know, but I think Sasha should return the tights back to Fumie :)

OT: Michelle is so nice and fun.

[Anne]

Aww.. That's so sweet. Michelle is such a loving person.

Muchos love to Michelle~!

[kwan glass]

Brought a smile to my face to read this. Like so many other things MK-ish :D

[serendipity]

awww~ michelle is such a sweet person. looking forward to the picture with the sweatshirt! :)

[Terri]

Michelle is simply wonderful.

P.S. I don't think Fumie wants those tights back!

[synnabun]

Ditto to the whole thread... especially Fumie's tights! I sure hope we do get to se a piccy of the sweater!
