It could be anything. When she was little, teenager, adult, I just want to know if there was anything in the way of her occupation in figure skating.|||There are several biographies of skaters available from the Library or bookstore. They're very interesting.
Michelle Kwan had several obstacles to overcome, mostly family-related:
The Kwan parents worked very hard to pay for Michelle and her sister's skating. Money was tight.
Her parents really taught her the value of money and not wasting ice time/lessons/etc.
Her parents were reluctant to allow her to do skating programs that were at all sexy or wear stage makeup.
Because of her taking the Senior test against her coach's wishes (he was out of town), all test forms now require a coach's signature. She and her parents rushed to take the exam, which she passed, but it held her back for a year or two anyway because she really wasn't ready to COMPETE at the Senior level. She took several years to become competitive and by that time, all her junior-level competitors had also moved up toe Seniors and she had even more competition.|||Ya of course there were, but I believe that all figure skaters have obstacles. Probably her biggest difficulty was money from wat I understand her family had to give up a lot to allow her to follow her dreams
