Kwan announces she doesn't plan to compete in Vancouver Games: Michelle Kwan, a nine-time U.S. figure-skating champion, chose school over skating.
Kwan, 29, announced Friday she will not return to competitive skating in hopes of making next year's Vancouver Games. Instead, she will begin classes for a master's degree in international affairs at Tufts University in Medford, Mass.
Kwan, who recently graduated from the University of Denver, already has made several trips as a public-diplomacy envoy for the State Department.
Kwan hasn't competed since an injury forced her to withdraw from the 2006 Olympics after a practice session; she eventually needed hip surgery.
