I first saw her in 1995 at her first senior competition, where she had 5 huge different triples–including 3L which she can no longer do. She did a lot for the sport w/ her speed–but she peaked around 2002-2004 in my opinion. It's amazing she's still competing.

It's not the skate she hoped for, but I applaud her for persevering for so long. She's already accomplished much in her decade+ on the Japanese team.

なぜ引退してコーチ等にならないのか不思議なレベル。
売り物の表現力も、今や鈴木はもとより、安藤・真央・村上のほうがはるかに上。
