LA Times: ‘Dancing With the Stars’: Kristi Yamaguchi fulfills her destiny : Show Tracker : Los Angeles Times

This hyperbolic from the L.A. Times:

‘Dancing With the Stars’: Kristi Yamaguchi fulfills her destiny : Show Tracker : Los
Angeles 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.
