Kristi Yamaguchi
Oh, I love checking galley. The following excerpt comes from the book about Kristi Yamaguchi, an Asian-American ice figure skater.
Two-time United States Olympic gold medalist and figure skating commentator Dick button once said, "Falling down is not the sign of a poor skater, but the sign of a skater who never stops trying to improve."
Her story is greatly touching, especially the story of her young life. She's very determined, working hard and really putting her mind into what she loves which is skating. She hdd to wake up very early in the morning, like 4 am, to use the rink, practiced and then went to school. She first skated when she was 4 and received her national award when she was 20. I am amazed by her passion for skating.
Asian-Americans rock !!!

I love Kristi Yamaguchi. I had a crush on her for years. She was an amazing skater. You never had to question her heart. She left it all on the ice. I, like most skating authorities, believe she would have been very difficult to beat in Lilihamer--had she not turned pro.
