Oh, discouraging news all around. I think Liza will walk away with this now. I love Mao and will so miss her skating, but of course she is doing right thing. I do feel they might ask the next highest point winners in the series. Emily Hughes flew to the Olympics. Is is really to late? I guess it is. Too bad.

Very sad...I did not know Mao's mother was ill. I hope they are both OK.
My Japanese friend told me that reports are that Mao's mom has been sick for quite a while now, and is now critically ill, and unconscious. In retrospect, I wonder if this was why Mao was so determined to find a coach in Japan, so she could be near her mother. Prayers to them all.
Just heard that Mao's mother passed away today, Friday, of cirrhosis of the liver (48 yrs. old) per FSU. Link's in Japanese: http://www.nikkansports.com/sports/news/f-sp-tp0-20111209-874843.html
Now she shares yet another tragic similarity to one of my all-time favorite skaters.
God be with you & yours Mao...

RIP Mao's mom ...
ETA: Calculating from what it says here, Mao's mother passed away while Mao was on the plane. She couldn't get back in time. So sad...

Very sad. My thoughts and sympathies go out to the Asada family. Peggy Fleming's father died under similar circumstances. He suffered from a history of heart disease (several previous attacks) and died making his way cross country while Peggy was traveling on a tour to Russia. She and her mother were informed on a the plane by a rep from the embassy. Very tough. Does anyone know if she made it back to Japan in time to see her mother before she passed away?
According to Japanese news reports, sadly she did not make it back in time.
Condolences to Mao, Mai and their family at this awful time.Similar threads
