How did you feel before and after your memorable win 1991 World Championships ?
Ms. Kristi Yamaguchi:
I felt renewed before the 1991 World’s. I had a new attitude and was having the most fun I had skating in a long while. I remember enjoying and having fun on each of my practice sessions in Munich. My performances showed this renewed love. I skated very well, even received my 1st perfect 6.0 from the Italian judge. It was an exhilarating time and set me up for a positive Olympic year.

Anytime I see a need, I am compelled to do something. I feel so grateful for all the support and success I have had in my life and I want to be able to provide some of that to whoever I can. The Always Dream Foundation has allowed me to focus on causes close to my heart and currently we are focused on early childhood literacy. It’s so important for our youngest learners to be exposed to books and reading as much as possible to give them a chance at success in school and in life. I love when I am able to go read to students and give them books and then see their excitement.
