This Barbie Inspiring Women doll honors Kristi Yamaguchi, an exceptional athlete who became the first Asian American woman to win an Olympic gold medal in figure skating.
Her Barbie doll sparkles in a black leotard with shimmering golden accents; it’s a stunning reproduction of the costume she wore when she won gold at the 1992 Winter Games, designed by Lauren Sheehan.
She even wears a gold ribbon in her hair, just like she did during her iconic 1992 performance! Silvery earrings, a celebratory bouquet, and white skates complete her look.
In her post-skating career, Kristi has authored several best-selling children’s books and founded an early childhood literacy organization called Always Dream.
The Kristi Yamaguchi Barbie Inspiring Women doll comes in displayable box, making her a wonderful toy for children and collector’s alike to cherish for years to come.
