Olympic gold medalist Kristi Yamaguchi will be honored with the Sonya Henie Award.
She'll receive the award at the annual Professional Skaters
Association awards dinner on May 22 in Chicago. The honor is one of several EDI awards, a tribute to Edi Scholdan, an Olympic coach and the first president of the Professional Skaters Association.
Sixteen years after she won the gold medal, Yamaguchi remains one of the most recognizable athletes in the sport.
She's competed on the Dancing with the Stars program and in numerous skating shows. ~SI.com
