    Watched Dorothy Hamill growing up and always loved figure skating. I tried it as an adult, at around age 32. It was not pretty, but I was hooked! It may have taken me longer to learn than some of the other adults in my class, but that didn't stop me. Now, 14 years later, I can do some minor jumps and spins. It's a great accomplishment! Plus I've met some great figure skaters - Michael Weiss, John Zimmerman, Todd Eldredge, Nicole Bobek, Sasha Cohen, Linda Fratianne, Calla Urbanski, Even Lysacek. Knowing how hard it is to do what they do, I have even more admiration for all of them. For anyone wanting to try it - you are never too old! I met a guy who didn't start until his 70's - and he does jumps, too!

    I remember watching Kristi Yamaguchi skate and she was just so elegant and seemed so humble during interviews.

    Kristi just brings back sweet childhood memories of my parents and I watching the Olympics and going crazy cheering for her. I idolized her as a little girl.

    Kristi has always been wonderful on and off the ice, a true champion for girls to look up to

    Should be fun to watch this year since the Nationals were a surprise.
