Michelle Kwan is known as the most decorated figure skater in US history, with nine US championships, five world championships, and two Olympic medals (silver and bronze) to her name. Her style on the ice is artistic, emotive, and nothing short of enchanting, and her success made her a beloved icon for generations of fans. Now, at 39, Michelle might be retired from skating, but she’s currently living her best life and documenting it on Instagram. She’s a political strategist who worked on Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and is now part of Joe Biden’s 2020 team. She still skates, often at her family’s rink in Artesia, CA. And she has a freaking adorable dog who shows up all the time.<\/p>\n

If you’re not currently following Michelle, a) get on it! and b) keep reading to check out some of the Olympic-level gold you’re missing out on.<\/p>\n

. . . frequently, by the looks of this pose. (Check out more of her favorite poses here!)<\/p>\n

When I was 17 years old, I designed this costume and choreographed a program that meant a lot to me because it was a tribute to a friend that I lost. A few days ago, I was delighted to see a picture of the future Queen that reminded me of that beautiful moment. \ud83d\udc51\u2764\ufe0f #fbf<\/p>\n
