NEW YORK -- As Michelle Kwan chats with members of Figure
Skating in Harlem, she sees a whole lot of herself in the
young girls.
marlins-jersey/">Dee Gordon Jersey . And those girls
hope to emulate Kwan. The nine-time U.S. champion and
five-time world winner has been active with the inner-
city club almost since its inception in 1997. She was
honoured Monday night at the FSH gala for inspiring the
hundreds of young girls who have been in the program.
"Michelle is the perfect role model for our students with
the way she conducts herself as a person, as an athlete,
as an employee of the state department," FSH founder
Sharon Cohen said. "Her career and life show where hard
work and perseverance and talent can take you." Kwan, a
two-time Olympic medallist , now serves as a senior
adviser for public diplomacy and public affairs and as an
envoy at the Department of State. Her husband, Clay Pell,
is running for governor of Rhode Island. Kwans success in
and out of sports didnt come easily, and she can recall
times when she was in a similar situation to some of FSHs
students. She received grants from U.S. Figure Skating
and from the Womens Sports Foundation during her
formative years as a skater -- at a time when Kwan and
older sister Karen werent sure they could continue in the
sport. "These underserved young girls get an opportunity
to skate they otherwise might not have," Kwan said. "My
personal background, both Karen and myself ... our
parents were not well off. To be able to afford a used
pair of skates and hand-me-downs in costumes and other
stuff, I remember that vividly. "Imagine if one of those
times you have to tell your kids, We cant afford it. I
can relate to that. "And these young girls benefit so
much. It really is about the skills you learn from
sports. Physical activity, being with friends, teamwork,
but also the discipline it takes, the hours of
dedication, being able to concentrate on one thing at a
time. You have to learn in life how to juggle things;
being a student-athlete is the same as in life." Kwan
began her day with a visit to Haverstraw Elementary, a
school in suburban Rockland County, where she spoke to
fifth graders who just happened to be studying her
career. She stressed the importance of opportunity,
education and empowerment -- all themes Figure Skating in
Harlem embraces. Then Kwan headed to Wolman Rink in
Central Park, where dozens of her peers were on hand to
not only honour her, but to skate with the youngsters
aged 6 to 18 who make up FSHs roster. Olympic medallists
Scott Hamilton, Sasha Cohen, Tim Goebel, Paul Wylie,
Gracie Gold, Ashley Wagner, Jason Brown and Jeremy Abbott
showed up to support Kwan and Figure Skating in Harlem.
"Our students learn through the education programs and
our skating program of the importance of working hard and
asking for help when you need it," Cohen said. "They see
the changes in themselves that this leads to, in their
confidence and in their abilities to achieve their goals.
"Someone like Michelle gives them an incentive to work
hard because they see the rewards, the personal rewards,
that Michelle embodies. She exudes sportsmanship and
grace and an inner drive, as well as outer success.
Michelle worked to be the best she can be in all aspects,
and anybody can learn from that. She carries herself with
such assurance and grace. Those are traits that will help
anyone succeed in this world."

first half, the Croatians took command in Reykjavik after
Skulason was dismissed for a professional foul in the
51st minute, but couldnt find a way past Iceland
goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson and his packed defence.
Eduardo had a weak shot cleared away from near the
goalline after barely a minute for Croatia, whose
substitute Ivica Olic forced a fine reaction save from
Halldorsson in the 55th.

testing sessions at Silverstone to assess new tires
provided by Pirelli after several blowouts on the same
circuit at the British Grand Prix in June prompted a
furious response from drivers and even a boycott threat
the following week.

wins from three thanks to a double from in-form striker
Diego Costa in a 3-0 victory at Austria Vienna, leaving
the Spanish side on the brink of the last 16 already to
continue its brilliant start to the season. MUNICH,
Germany -- Bayern Munich needed a bit of a wake-up call
against a surprisingly resilient Manchester United team.
Once it came, there was no stopping the defending
champions from reaching a third straight Champions League
semifinal. Bayern came back quickly after falling behind
in its home stadium, equalizing within two minutes and
then scoring two more goals to win 3-1 in the second leg
of their quarterfinal Wednesday and go through 4-2 on
aggregate. "I think it was very important we scored
straight after they did," Bayern winger Arjen Robben
said. "It was crucial today. It looked like a wake-up
call because the first 10 minutes of the second half were
a disaster the way we played. We were so slow, we were
not there and you cannot do that in the Champions League
- you will be punished. Thats what they did, but it was a
wake-up call and we scored three goals. After Patrice
Evra put United ahead with a superb volley in the 57th
minute, Mario Mandzukic got the quick equalizer, Thomas
Mueller made it 2-1 in the 68th and Robben secured the
victory in the 76th. "I had no time to tell my players
anything or to think what we could do after we conceded
that amazing goal," Bayern coach Pep Guardiola said. "I
am very proud of my team and of this club. ... They have
a big heart and reacted very well. As title holders, we
have a lot of pressure." The loss means United looks set
to miss the Champions League next season for the first
time since 1995-96. David Moyes team is only seventh in
the Premier League, with only the faintest of hopes of
finishing in the top four. Its only realistic chance of
qualifying for Europes top competition was to win it this
season, but now the teams last chance for a trophy is
also gone. Bayernn dominated the first half but failed to
make much out of its possession advantage, and Evra gave
United a surprising lead.

Valencias swinging cross sailed over everyone in the area
but fell to Evra, who unleashed an unstoppable shot into
the upper corner. But two minutes later, Bayern was back
in the match. Franck Ribery crossed form the left and
Mandzukics diving header beat David de Gea. "We
concentrated so fabulously but to give up that goal at
that moment was very disappointing," Moyes said. "I
thought the players did a great job today. We made it
difficult for them for long periods but at the end we
just couldnt keep it." In the 62nd, Wayne Rooney fluffed
a shot while having only goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to beat
and squandered a great opportunity. Rooney had not
trained the whole week because of a toe injury and took
an injection to play. Bayern punished the miss in the
68th, when Mueller knocked in a low cross from Robben.
And in the 76th, Robben cut inside from the right and
made it 3-1 with a low shot that clipped the foot of
Nemanja Vidic and rolled into the net, with de Gea on the
wrong foot. "I knew it would be difficult, it is not easy
to play against eight players in the box. We tried to
create passes and to go to wings but they defended well
against crosses," Guardiola said. Bayern had failed to
win its last four matches at home against English
opposition but once it stepped up the pressure and the
pace there was little doubt about the outcome. United
remained winless in the Bavarian capital in five outings.
"I think its great how we came back despite this little
setback," Mueller said. "If we look at both matches, I
think we deserved to come through."
