4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice Little Book For Figure Skating Fans, April 8, 2001

This review is from: Kristi Yamaguchi: Triumph on Ice (Stars on Ice Little Books) (Hardcover)

Figure Skating - the only sport that is also an art form and the only art form that is also a sport! Kristi Yamaguchi is one of the few skaters that make this statement totally true, because she strikes a great balance between the technical and artistic aspects of figure skating, and furthermore because she has the "total package" that make her a true icon of female figure skating, besides her Olympic Gold Medal - attractive "looks" (yes, how you look does matter in ladies figure skating - remember, it is partly an art form, and, in my opinion, Kristi has only gotten more attractive with time), beautiful costumes and choice of music, the ability to do difficult triple jumps consistently, and a very light, feminine style of skating.

This very small format book only provides a brief look in print of Kristi's life and career in skating - the highlight is about fifty full-color photos of her from the beginnings of her skating to the present. In short, this will make a nice addition to your figure skating library.
