Ice skater Kristi Yamaguchi won the hearts of Americans during the 1992 Winter Olympics in Alberta, Canada. It was there that she won gold in the overall ladies’ singles competition.
Following her Olympic stardom, Yamaguchi went on to found the Always Dream Foundation, which supports the lives of children through educational and recreational initiatives; toured the country as part of Stars on Ice; and won the sixth season of the television show “Dancing with the Stars.”
Now, 20 years after her Gold medal performance, Yamaguchi is preparing to launch her business career. In September, Yamaguchi will unveil her limited-edition line of women’s activewear, Tsu.ya.
