Miki Ando 2006 Short Program

I like Miki Ando, and always have, ever since she first came on the scene two years ago. She has a great personality. She does well, making her personal best, but her spirals aren’t as good as other skaters, or as good as they could be.

I have a funny story regarding Ando. Back in 2004, when she was getting so much attention for her quad, I had a conversation with one of my kids’ therapist about it. At the time, I couldn’t remember Ando’s name or where she was from, and the therapist, who was French, insisted that she was from France. If I was less polite, I would’ve pointed out that there aren’t many high-ranking female figure skaters from France.
