YouTube Description
as posted by the channelOlympic legend Kristi Yamaguchi is reflecting on the performance that made history — and looking ahead to the future of American figure skating.
The 1992 Olympic gold medalist revisits the pressure and emotion of her winning long program, including the moment she feared she might miss a critical jump. Now, more than three decades later, Yamaguchi is watching a new generation prepare for the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympics.
She shares insight on today’s rising stars, including Ilia Malinin, the “Quad God” redefining technical limits, and Alysa Liu, whose unexpected comeback and world title have reignited excitement in the sport. Yamaguchi also reflects on what she hopes viewers take away from revisiting her Olympic moment: perseverance, courage, and inspiration across generations.
