@TheGodfather. She took a year and a half off to recharge her batteries and think about her future. Glad she came back.

Liked Mao Asada exhibiting true sportsman spirit after return to competitive skating in Saitama today . Hope she will prepare well to win a gold medal in coming 2020 OLYMPIC GAMES for Japan.

Ummm... the 2020 Olympics are Summer Olympics. Figure skating only takes place in the Winter Olympics. Ergo, not possible.

I wonder if the comeback is purely for the love of the sport, or a big fat payday, I doubt any Olympic Gold medal winner in Japan makes as much money as she does in endorsements.
