I hate how the focus of the history of japanese skating is always on other skaters...all but Fumie. She is so underlooked. No one knows the many contributions she has made to skating including being the the first japanese lady to win three world medals and win the grand prix final in the 2003-2004 season. If not for Fumie, skaters like Shizuka wouldn't have even made it to the olympics or the worlds scene and have had the successes that they've had. *sigh* But that's just my observation.
