LA Times: ‘Dancing With the Stars’: Kristi Yamaguchi fulfills her destiny

This hyperbolic note from the L.A. Times:

‘Dancing With the Stars’: Kristi Yamaguchi fulfills her destiny : Show Tracker : LosAngeles Times:
"After 10 weeks, we’re all tired here, so let’s cut to the chase:
Kristi Yamaguchi and her partner Mark Ballas, the highest scorers in the history
of the show (or at least the U.S. version) took home the trophy. Jason Taylor and
Edyta were the runners-up"

Well, seems that becoming one of the premiere figures and most widely recognized, early ambassadors for her sport might have ranked somewhere on the chart of 'fulfilling her destiny,' but there's no doubt that Yamaguchi's gracefulness translates easily off the ice. She's a great athlete and, we know, also a terrific dancer.
