She has already said she will.

Good lord, another Jack Gallagher article? He writes the most empty and pointless articles about figure skating.
I see no point in her to keep skating competitively. Her sults really slumped after 2010, due to her constant UR landings, especially. Those will not get any better as she will age. let's be realistic, time is not on her side after 2014.
And yes, she is still young enough to enjoy many years to skate in shows, like Shizuka.
Time is one her side, she will only be 23 next year, and i don't remember her to have ever slumped, I remember her having taken a very courages decision after 2010 and that decision meant that she had to sacrifice some results in a short period of time in order to bear the fruit in the long run. it's way too soon for her to retire, and I think someone like Mao enjoys competitive skating just as much as show skating, if not even more.
