Five-time world champion Michelle Kwan has been elected to the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame, officials of the sport shrine announced today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kwan<\/strong>, twice an Olympic medalist but never a champion, was the only person voted into the Hall of Fame, an honor that came in her first year of eligibility for enshrinement in the Colorado Springs, Colorado, attraction.<\/p>\n

From 1995-2005, Kwan won an unprecedented 43 titles, including world women’s crowns in 1996, 1998, 2000, 2001 and 2003.<\/strong> Kwan took the silver medal at the 1998 Nagano Olympics and a bronze medal at the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympics.<\/p>\n

Kwan took nine US titles, including eight in a row from 1998 through 2005, and in almost a century of US skating, no man or woman has won more US and world titles and Olympic medals than Kwan.<\/p>\n

Kwan received 57 perfect 6.0 marks in major competitions, the most of any skater in history.<\/strong><\/p>\n

She received at least one 6.0 in each of her last five US meets, including 15 of a possible 18 6.0s at the 1998 US championships.<\/p>\n

“Michelle continues to be a role model through her many contributions both on and off the ice,” said nominating committee chairman Larry Mondschein.<\/strong> “We join Michelle and her many admirers throughout the world in celebration of this great honor.”<\/p>\n

Kwan was inducted into the US Figure Skating Hall of Fame in January.<\/strong><\/p>\n
