==Awards and accolades==
Kwan is a recipient of the prestigious [[James E. Sullivan Award]] (2001), which is given to America's best amateur athlete; she was the first figure skater to win the award since [[Dick Button]] in 1949. In 2003, she was named the [[United States Olympic Committee]] (USOC) "Sportswoman of the Year", and is the 5th figure skater in history to receive this honor. She has also been named USOC "Athlete of the Month" fourteen times, which is more than any other athlete, male or female, as well as being named "Female Figure Skating Athlete of the Year" by the USOC multiple times. She is also the recipient of the USOC's "Citizenship Through Sports Alliance Award" (2004).<ref name=USbio />

Kwan is one of only two multiple winners of the "Readers' Choice Figure Skater of the Year" award given by ''Skating'' magazine, winning it an unprecedented seven times (1994, 1996, 1998, 1999, 2001–2003). In 2003, the [[United States Figure Skating Association]], which publishes ''Skating'', announced that the award would be renamed the "Michelle Kwan Trophy". The USFSA stated that although Kwan may continue to skate competitively, she would no longer be eligible for the award. The only other skater to win the award multiple times, [[Johnny Weir]], only won it twice in comparison.<ref name=USbio /><ref>[http://www.usfsa.org/Story.asp?id=44811&type=media Johnny Weir wins Skating Magazine Reader's Choice Skater of the Year Award] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131209083818/http://www.usfsa.org/Story.asp?id=44811&type=media |date=December 9, 2013 }}, accessed May 19, 2014.</ref>
