Behind the Scenes with Kristi Yamaguchi
Olympic ice skating champion Kristi Yamaguchi is finding new roles in her professional career along with her roles as wife and mother of two young girls. Following her victories at the 1992 Winter Olympics and World Championships, Kristi embarked on a successful professional career that went non-stop for more than a decade, when she toured with Stars on Ice and won numerous professional competitions. A new challenge came with the TV Show Dancing With The Stars, where her skating training in dance paid off. She is a broadcast commentator for figure skating during NBC's coverage of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
