Your Favorite Olympians: Where Are They Now?

Michelle Kwan

Michelle Kwan is known as one of the greatest ice dancers in the world despite never winning Olympic gold. She earned silver in 1998 and bronze in 2002. Sadly, she was injured for the 2006 Olympics and had to cut her career short. She went on to get a law degree from Tufts University and is now working in the U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.

McKayla Maroney

McKayla Maroney was a part of the Fierce Five during the 2012 London Olympics. She took home a silver medal on the vault, but her scowling face as she received her medal made more headlines than her win. She quickly became a meme. She made her acting debut on Hart of Dixie and served as a judge in the 2013 Miss America pageant. She retired in 2016 and released her first single in March 2020.
