Barbie honors Olympic figure skater

The Barbie Inspiring Women collectible doll honors Kristi Yamaguchi, the first Asian-American woman to win a gold medal in figure skating at the Olympics. Not only is she a champion on the ice, she is also the author of several best-selling children's books and a fierce advocate for early childhood education. She is a fitting addition to a series that honors courageous women who have taken risks, changed the rules and paved the way for generations of girls to dream bigger. 

Her black leotard is a stunning reproduction of the costume she wore when she won gold at the 1992 Winter Games, designed by Lauren Sheehan.
