Interview with the Shibutanis

The Ice Skating Shibutani Siblings Share Their Olympic Dreams

Among their comments, the Shibs speak warmly of their Team Canton training mates, coaches, and environment.
The interview was conducted a few weeks ago, but if the Shibs have any thought of seeking greener pastures elsewhere, they do not show it.

I hope next season will go smoother for them than this one has.

Worlds 2003 was such a wonderful event! No wonder it inspried them!
