GREENVILLE, S.C. (AP) - Olympic women's figure skating champion Shizuka Arakawa of Japan returns to the ice Tuesday at the Marshalls Showcase, replacing men's world champion Stephane Lambiel of Switzerland.
Arakawa took a break from skating after her win in Turin, as did the other gold medalists in Italy. Lambiel has been bothered by a knee injury.
Also scheduled for the exhibition event are Michelle Kwan, in her first appearance since dropping out of the Olympics with a groin injury; world champion Kimmie Meissner; and Olympic silver medalists Sasha Cohen and ice dancers Tanith Belbin and Ben Agosto.
