words from a living doll
kristi yamaguchi, whose mother was born in a world war ii internment camp for japanese-americans while her grandfather was serving as a lieutenant in the u.s. army, became obsessed with figure skating as a little girl. her favorite toy was a dorothy hamill doll that she carried with her everywhere. through 1990, yamaguchi competed in both singles and pairs (with rudy galindo). that year she qualified for the world championships in both events, placing fourth and fifth respectively. then she dropped out of pairs to concentrate on singles and was rewarded with her first world championship title in 1991. at the 1992 albertville olympics, yamaguchi led after the original program, with her olympic roommate, nancy kerrigan, in second place. but yamaguchi had a history of placing first in the original program and then falling behind after the long program. this time she was the first of the leaders to skate. backstage she was approached, for the first time in her life, by none other than her childhood idol, dorothy hamill, who wished her luck and told her to go out and "have fun." yamaguchi's relatively conservative program was marred by a touchdown at the end of a shaky triple loop. however, all of the other contenders fell and yamaguchi won a clear victory.

克丽斯蒂•山口是位日裔美国人，很小的时候，她就开始迷恋花样滑冰运动了。1990年，克丽斯蒂在世界锦标赛花样滑冰单人和双人比赛中分别名列 第四和第五。世锦赛后，她退出了双人滑项目，专心从事单人项目的训练和比赛，1991年，她在世界锦标赛中获得女子单人滑冠军。克丽斯蒂随后参加了 1992年法国阿尔贝维尔冬季奥运会，在短节目比赛中她名列第一，在长节目表演中，克丽斯蒂出现了小小的失误：在旋转三周时脚尖落地，但幸运的是其他运动 员也都出现不同程度的失误，最终克丽斯蒂仍然夺得这届奥运会女子花样滑冰金牌。
