Great article! I was switching between reading it and checking #uschamps18 for live results from the US Nationals ladies' short program.

Kristi's husband, Bret Hedican, is a broadcaster for the San Jose Sharks. When I had season tickets, I was in the same section as her seats (except hers were on the ice, and I was up a bit further.) Watching her daughters grow from hockey season to hockey season was always fun to see. I wish her and her family nothing but great things. She has always been very gracious.

Just the other week I was moved to find video of Kristi Yamaguchi's '90s performance to En Vogue's "Never gonna get it," which is linked in this article. It was great then, and great now!
