Olympic Flashback #1: Kristi Yamaguchi's "Blue Danube" from Albertville in 1992

At the 1992 Games in Albertville, Kristi Yamaguchi became the first Asian-American figure skater to strike gold. Her short program to "Blue Danube," a waltz by Johan Strauss, set the tone for the competition and set the stage for Yamaguchi to earn gold in the freeskate.
