Figure Skate

The season of figure skating has just started, hasn't it?
I'm so psyched about it!
Where I'm from is the mecca of raising figure skaters,
such as Midori Ito, Mao Asada, Miki Ando, Yukari Nakano
and lots and lots of others used to practice there.
So I have been really familiar with it since when I was a child.

Japanese figure skaters became much stronger
these days. It's because of national ISU strategy which started
when Midori failed to the second place in Albertville olympic.

Do you know there has been the argument of judging edge?
After China cup, lots of controversies have been going on.
Mao seems to be successful to correct her using edge.
So I just can't wait for Trophee Bompard.
