WASHINGTON — It's another Olympics for Michelle Kwan.
The five-time world figure skating champion and two-time Olympics medalist will be part of the U.S. delegation for the opening ceremonies at the Special Olympics World Summer Games next month in Shanghai, China. The 10-person delegation was announced Monday by President Bush, and includes baseball great Ernie Banks.
Among the other named were Eunice Kennedy Shriver, founder of the Special Olympics; Timothy P. Shriver, chairman of the Special Olympics; Clark T. Randt, U.S. ambassador to China; and John H. Hager, former assistant secretary of education. U.S. Education Secretary Margaret Spellings will lead the delegation.
