Blast from the Past: Kristi Yamaguchi's "Blue Danube Waltz"

Has Kristi Yamaguchi ever put a foot wrong when it comes to program selection?



Her short program from the 1991-92 season, the "Blue Danube Waltz," is her best effort ever. The choreography and interpretation are perfect, not to mention her soaring jumps and, for that time period, quite innovative spin positions (haircutter position in her layback, outside edge on her camel spin, etc).

This program catapulted the 20-year old American to her first National title in 1992, as well as gold at both the Olympics and Worlds that year.

Enjoy!
