PHOTOS: Kristi Yamaguchi Skates into Chicago

Moshpix: It's safe to say that Monday was probably the highest altitude figure skater Kristi Yamaguchi has ever hit the ice when she appeared at the John Hancock Observatory skating rink Monday. The Olympic gold medalist donned skates but didn't actually skate on the synthetic ice, as she took questions from the audience and signed copes of her children's book, Dream Big, Little Pig!.
