Excerpt:
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice named Michelle Kwan, the Hong Kong-born US figure-skating superstar, as Washington's first Public Diplomacy Ambassador tasked with promoting American values around the world.
Kwan, a two-time Olympic medalist and the most decorated figure-skater in US history, will visit China early next year on the first mission of her non-salaried career as goodwill envoy, Rice said.
What a neat honor for Michelle!
