Kristi Yamaguchi was on a local morning news show today promoting her "A Golden Moment" breast cancer benefit. She and the guy doing the interview were standing on the ice at the Oakland Ice Arena doing the interview. Kristi was wearing black tights, black skating skirt, and a black sweatshirt. They talked about the show and then about some of the things being auctioned off on her web-site, including "A Golden Moment" pin and one of Katarina Witt's Playboy pictures. The interviewer called her Tatiana Witt and me and my mother were laughing Kristi didn't correct him or anything but that's okay. Next, Kristi skated the first part of her old 93-94 SOI solo "Romeo and Juliet", which I believe she will be skating to in the show. They then talked about some of the other people in the show: Tara Lipinski, who Kristi is excited about having in the show. They talked a bit about Tara's new acting role on Y&R and a clip was shown of Tara skating her "My Fair Lady" SOI number. Also Ekaterina Gordeeva, who the interviewer said won the 84 and 88 Olympic gold medals. We all know that was Tatiana Witt who won those:-) Then a clip was shown of Katia skating her "Fragile" number. Also mentioned was Rosalyn Sumners and a clip of her "After All These Years" program.
