Soft, light and beautiful. Now she probably is 29 years old. Utmost respect for the passion of her that has kept her on the ice of the competitive level so far so long even after she stayed off the podium. She has simply been trying to be a better skater no matter where she is in the ranking. She just loves to skate. Isn't it wonderful? Go Fumie!
Well here it is, 2009, Suguri took 2nd behind Asada at Japan's Nat'l this year & is on the World team. Beat Miki Ando (3rd) & helped send Yukari Nagano, a great talent to a 5th place finish.
Age a factor? Uh, no. Quality skating in all aspects a factory? Yes. go Fumie, I hope you have a wonderful experience at Worlds & show those young gals a thing or two about the true art of Figure Skating.
Yes, she dont have other things like cohen have, but as you say shes haas been so underrated and one can know tha passion in her face more than any other skater.
She's the most consistent japanese skater since 2000. Her jumps are so amazing and smooth. She's not like other japanese female skaters, that only perform good once,she's always good, she's always winnin' medals for japan but she's been so underrated, you can see the passion for the sport in her face. It's ironic that she's always there to see how other japanese girls take the gold, when she's as good or better than those girls.
Yes with Shizuka it is either boom or bust. 8th at Worlds, gold at Worlds, 9th at Worlds, gold at Olympics, up and down like a yo yo. Same with Miki Ando. Fumie is the only Japanese other then Asada who is consistent and delivered time and time again.

She is so fast! I love the exit from the solo lutz. Also one of the few times I remember her landing the loop.

@lambielkwanfan That is true about Shizuka though I thought that she wasn't trained consistently. Her previous coaches were not experienced.
