Miki Ando Short Program

I’ve already talked about Miki, in context of Skate America, where she kicked butt. She trained in the U.S. for a while, but returned to Japan to train this year. It’s very interesting to me that so many skaters come to America to live and train. Perhaps it’s part of the reason Japan has rocketed forward in the sport. They use American resources. I suppose that’s all right with me; they are paying for it, and America is all about free enterprise.
