A tribute to Mao Asada
- Published: April 14, 2017
Highly-decorated Mao Asada of Japan announced her retirement from competitive figure skating on April 10, 2017. We thank her for the wonderful programs she has given us over the years and wish her luck in all of her future endeavors!
Did You Know?
Elaine Zayak (CAN), the 1982 World champion and 1981 U.S. National champion, was the first woman to consistently land many triple jumps in her programs. Zayak lost three toes on her left foot (her takeoff foot) in a lawn mower accident at the age of two. On the advice of her doctors, she began figure skating as physical therapy. Her left boot was stabilized with a wood mold to compensate for the irregularity in the shape of her left foot.
