This week CNN's Talk Asia looks at what inspires ice skating champion Michelle Kwan. Interviewed in Hong Kong, Kwan tells the host Lorraine Hahn how her career has evolved on and off the ice. She also describes her skating schedule for next year and talks about her family, her new coach and trainer.

Widely considered one of the best American figure skaters of all time, the 22 year-old Asian American has won two Olympic medals, four World Championships, and six US Championships. She burst onto the scene in 1996 when she won her first World Championship at the age of 15.

During her interview, Kwan also discusses how she is preparing to accomplish the next goal in her stellar career, the US National Championships in January 2003 and details her interest in learning more about her Chinese heritage.

The show airs on 21 December at 8 pm with repeats on 22 December at 6 am and 5 pm and on 23 December at 9 am and 7 pm IST.
