'Aging is tough. I'm not going to lie.' Kristi Yamaguchi finds new ways to stay fit, challenged

Kristi Yamaguchi will always be remembered for the grace and elegance she brought the world in her gold-medal-winning skating routines at the 1992 Winter Games in Albertville, France.

As the 30-year anniversary of her triumph nears, Yamaguchi will again reunite with that defining showing.

She’ll do so as an accomplished woman who just turned 50 in July, raising two high-school-aged daughters, having recently celebrated her 20th wedding anniversary all while heading her life-changing children’s literacy foundation, “Always Dream.”

“When you’re 20 years old at the Olympics, you need to find a way to something else," Yamaguchi said.
