Figure Skating Champion Michelle Kwan to Serve as Celebrity Representative and Spokesperson for Disney

Feb. 16, 2006--Michelle Kwan, the most decorated figure skater in U.S. history, will serve as a celebrity representative and spokesperson for businesses across the entire range of The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS), it was announced today by Matt Ryan, senior vice president, Brand Management, The Walt Disney Company. Earlier this week, with a magnanimous gesture that exemplified sportsmanship, selflessness and respect for her sport, Michelle Kwan withdrew herself from the 2006 Winter Olympic Games due to injury.

As part of the multiyear agreement, Kwan may participate in advertising, promotions or public service announcements involving all of Disney's businesses, make guest appearances on original programming and personal appearances at live Disney events, and take part in Disney's company-wide initiatives.

"Professionally and personally, Michelle is a true champion. While her magnificent artistry on the ice has been applauded the world over, she also sets the standard for grace and dignity, which truly accounts for her universal appeal," said Ryan. "We at Disney are honored to be associated with Michelle and know that her unique style and commitment to quality will be enjoyed and appreciated by our audiences everywhere."

Kwan authored the motivational book "The Winning Attitude! What It Takes To Be A Champion" and contributed to the fictional book series "Michelle Kwan Presents Skating Dreams," published by Disney Publishing Worldwide, and has appeared in Disney and ABC television specials. Michelle starred in the primetime TV special "Reflections on Ice: Michelle Skates to the Music of Disney's Mulan," which was selected as the best-produced skating special of 1998-99.

In her career, Kwan has won an unprecedented 43 championships, including five World Championships, eight consecutive and nine overall U.S. National Championships and two Olympic medals. She is the only woman in figure skating history to reclaim the World title three times, and she holds or shares nearly a dozen U.S. records. Kwan began skating at the age of five and won her first competition when seven years old.

Michelle's agent said the following in the Washington Post:

But this ice queen isn't ready to hang up her skates -- at least, not right now. "What's she's going to be doing hasn't been decided," said Kwan's agent, Shep Goldberg . "Usually in the summer she makes a decision about competing for the next year. She's been doing that since 2002. I suspect this year will be the same."

失之東隅收之桑榆 迪士尼聘關穎珊作發言人

因傷退出冬季奧運的華裔花式滑冰好手關穎珊，找到新的飯碗了，迪士尼請她當發言人，關穎珊已經接下迪士尼的聘書。

最近才拒絕NBC邀約擔任奧運滑冰評論的關穎珊，未來在迪士尼的新工作，包含參與促銷活動和廣告，以及迪士尼各項活動訊息的發布。迪士尼和關穎珊都沒有透露薪水的細節。

25歲的關穎珊，在美國花式滑冰界的成就，無人能及，她曾經九度登上美國花式溜冰皇后寶座，五次拿下世界冠軍，體育生涯最大的遺憾就是還缺一面奧運金牌，她原本對這屆冬運寄予厚望，沒想到天不從人願，因為舊傷，她在星期天含淚宣布退賽。
