Two big reasons I like Shizuka:
1. For her, the Olympic medal (Gold) was never an end unto itself, but a ticket to expanding interest in figure skating, especially in her home country (or something like this, please clarify or correct me if I'm remembering or interpreting wrong.)
2. She proves that you don't need to be a teeny tiny gal to be a graceful skater with reliable, gorgeous jumps.
