by Sandy Mitchell on May 16th, 2008

Kristi Yamaguchi, the 1992 Olympic Gold Medalist in Figure Skating (Albertville), has been back in the news again this season. She’s the front-runner in season six of “Dancing with the Stars,” having finished first in seven of the nine episodes. The season finale is Monday and she’s up against actor, Cristian de la Fuente and Miami Dolphin, Jason Taylor. Do you think she’s got what it takes to win?
