Twitter was buzzing late last night and early this morning with news from 2014 World Champion Mao Asada's press conference. She says she wishes to continue her competitive career and has returned to daily practices to get into competition shape. There's no information yet on whether we would see her next season.
Whenever it happens, it would be very interesting to see this past champion compete against dominant Russians Elizaveta Tuktamysheva and Elena Radionova, especially considering that Tuktamysheva made waves this season with her triple axel, a jump Mao is famous for. Between the Olympics in 2010 and 2014, Mao competed all four years internationally and won many titles. If Mao returns to the Olympics for 2018, we could be in for even more interesting competition than expected. Many news outlets have shared articles, but it's mostly the same information. Here's one from the AP.
