Wow, does this mean she might become president of the JSF in the future? If so, there will finally be a skating fed head who wasn't a speed skater!

Congratulations to Shizuka! (For a moment, it sounded like such a... reasonable... appointment that I thought it was joke news.)

Brilliant choice I believe. She knows skating, she knows how to win, she knows how to organize and run events, and she is good at PR and media presentations. She is also a prestigious and beautiful face for figure skating

Good for Shizuka and the Japanese Fed!

She's amazing and totally deserves this! Seriously, she could...win things if she were still competing...she actually got better after retiring from competition.
