Handwritten in pen on the back, "Kristi Yamaguchi holds flowers on victory stand after being awarded gold medal in World Championship of Ice Skating." Clipping from Tribune, Mar. 30, 1992-- "Olympic figure-skating champion Kristi Yamaguchi yesterday became the first American woman to win consecutive world championships since 1968. In competition at the Oakland Coliseum, the 20-year-old from Fremont skated away with the gold medal, American Nancy Kerrigan caputred the silver, and China's Lu Chen earned the bronze. Yamaguchi fell on a triple salchow, costing her any perfect 6.0 marks. But she got 11 5.9s and was first with every judge. And the crowd. Complete coverage in Sports, D-1." Photo shows Yamaguchi wearing her costume and a medal around her neck holding a bouquet of flowers over her head.
