Of course Kim and Asada are on the rosters! Forget about medals and achievements in the sport (DUH! All of their collective achievements are ASTOUNDING)...just think of the cultural impact they have left by way of figure skating! I mean it's Britney and Christina all over again!
...okay maybe that trivialises it a bit, but it makes sense doesn't it? Kim does NOT need 2 OGMs. She has shone the light on figure skating in a country where it was never of credible relevance. Asada has successfully carried the burden of a sustained career and the flag of Japanese skating since her debut in the senior ranks in 2005. Hell, you can even say- she's carrying the burden alone all the way to Sochi. We have Suzuki too, and the rest of the field- but none of them compares to the gargantuan career that Asada has made for herself and her country (in terms of iconic status, she is second to Midori and the rest can go to sleep IMO). Likewise with Kim! Such grace and artistry, these two will leave massive voids in the field after they retire. Their fortunes- having lived their competitive careers alongside each other and ending it at the same time just adds more magic to the legend ^^
They both may not move all audiences with their performances, but my god they have moved two whole countries. THAT on its own is an achievement.
A couple of interesting statements in your post...
Asada is second to Ito, and no one else is of as much significance in Japanese skating in the long haul... I'd have to say I agree, although it pains me to dismiss their first Olympic champion.
They (meaning Asada and Kim) moved two whole countries. Time will tell, especially in the case of Kim. When Midori Ito retired, Yuka Sato was there to carry the torch, and then it was passed to a generation of great skaters, including Mao. I'm sure it will be passed again.
However, in the case of Kim, the torch passing doesn't seem so clear-cut.
