Thanks to Sasha Cohen's comeback and the continual nonsense perpetrated (and perpetuated) by the sport's international leaders, even in May there is figure skating news deserving of comment.
So: Three things I know, and you should.

1. Michelle Kwan could have had a guaranteed spot with the U.S. Olympic delegation at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.

As assistant chef de mission, an essentially honorary position.

The U.S. Olympic Committee asked the three-time Olympic figure skating team member if she would be interested in filling the role, but Kwan declined out of uncertainty over her future plans.

One thing seems certain -- there's an oxymoron, seeming certainty -- about those plans:
Unlike Sasha Cohen, who confirmed last week she would try to make a third Olympic team, Kwan has not replied affirmatively to U.S. Figure Skating's invitation for a place at the Skate America Grand Prix event this November.
