@ Lee: WAKE UP!!!!
Following is an excerpt from Wikipedia. The article also goes on to say that he's married with two little girls who want to be skaters, too. "Following the 1998 Olympics, Candeloro turned pro and appeared in a wide variety of tours and professional competitions. In the USA he was a popular fixture with Champions on Ice<https://mail.google.com/wiki/Champions_on_Ice>; in Europe he founded the successful Candel Euro Tour<https://mail.google.com/w/index.php?title=Candel_Euro_Tour&action=edit&redlink=1>. He most recently appeared in the "Holiday on Ice" tour, and is now starting a new career as a sports journalist<https://mail.google.com/wiki/Sports_journalist>. He also appeared on television as Captain Sheng in a Disney<https://mail.google.com/wiki/The_Walt_Disney_Company>television special based on the cartoon *Mulan <https://mail.google.com/wiki/Mulan>*. Michelle Kwan<https://mail.google.com/wiki/Michelle_Kwan>played the title role. During the 2006 Olympics, Candeloro stirred controversy by commenting that Olympic champion Shizuka Arakawa<https://mail.google.com/wiki/Shizuka_Arakawa>was "worth a bowl of rice" after rising to win the gold medal from third place. French public television later apologized to the Japanese ambassador to France, Hiroshi Hirabayashi, who didn't even know of the comment, in a statement, "We were taken back by the comment." However, this apology drew the Japanese media's attention to his comment. In February 2008 he started his farewell tour through France. The show "Hello and Goodbye" is a medley of all the classic characters he portrayed. Candeloro is known to be a big fan of Japanese female figure skater, Mao Asada <https://mail.google.com/wiki/Mao_Asada>, and calls himself her godfather on ice."
