Olympics out: Kwan chooses school over skating

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Michelle Kwan has chosen school over skating.

The nine-time U.S. champion announced Friday she will not return to competitive skating in hopes of earning a spot at the Vancouver Olympics.

Kwan will pursue a master's degree in international affairs at Tufts University. She already has made several trips as a State Department envoy.

Kwan, a five-time world champion, won a silver medal at the 1998 Olympics and a bronze in 2002. She made the 2006 team but was forced to withdraw because of injury.

She had been working out for most of this year. An appearance at an ice show in South Korea next month - her first in front of an audience in three years - fueled speculation she might try for Vancouver.

Memorable quotes for

Back to School (1986)


Thornton Melon: [television commercial] Hi there. Are you a large person? Pleasantly plump? A little on the hefty side, perhaps? Well, let's face it: Are you FAT? When you go jogging, do you leave pot-holes? When you make love, do you have to give directions? At the zoo, do the elephants throw YOU peanuts? Do you look at a menu and say 'OK'? Well, now, you can eat all you want, because at Thornton Melon's "Tall & Fat" stores, we've got you covered. That's right. Fine woolen, and woolen-blend suits and sport coats, in all the larger sizes - husky, stout, extra-stout, and the new Hindenburg line. And for you ladies we have caftans, muumuus, and our own exclusive A-frame in all colors and patterns. Yes, we have miles and miles of fabric. So take it from me, Thornton Melon, if you want to look thin, you hang out with fat people.

King-Size Homer

Original airdate in N.A.: 5-Nov-95


Homer reads the computer screen.

Homer: [reading screen] "To Start Press Any Key". Where's the ANY key? I see Esk ["ESC"], Catarl ["CTRL"], and Pig-Up ["PGUP"].

There doesn't seem to be any ANY key. Woo! All this computer hacking is making me thirsty. I think I'll order a TAB.

[presses TAB key] Awp...no time for that now, the computer's starting.

[reading screen slowly] "Check core temperature, yes slash no."

[types] Yes.

"Core temperature normal." Hmph. Not too shabby.

"Vent radioactive gas."

[types]

NO.

"Venting prevents explosi-on." Heeheee...whoa, this is hard.

Where's my Tab?
