Kristi Yamaguchi is a wife, mother, Olympic Gold Medal (1992) and two-time World Champion (1991, 1992) figure skater as well as a Dancing with the Stars champion (Season Six). Following her victories at the 1992 Winter Olympics and World Championships, Kristi embarked on a successful professional career that went non-stop for more than a decade. During the years 1992-2002, Kristi toured with Smucker's® Stars on Ice®, won numerous professional competitions, frequently appeared on television specials and collaborated with several choreographers to create diverse programs.

Kristi's first children's picture book debuted in March 2011. Dream Big, Little Pig, an inspirational tale for children, spent seven weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list. In addition, Kristi's first exercise DVD, Kristi Yamaguchi: Power Workout, was released in May 2011, with a second DVD out in December 2011.

Kristi also stays involved in her Always Dream® Foundation (www.AlwaysDream.org). The foundation is an active fundraiser and supporter of children's charities in the San Francisco Bay Area, including annual Christmas toy drives.

While Kristi embodies many roles, her unstoppable family is now her first and foremost priority. She is married to Bret Hedican, a retired professional hockey player and a two-time US Olympian, and together they have two daughters, Keara (age 7) and Emma (age 5).
