2016 ISU Adult Figure Skating Competition free skate

In her long, prolific career that included four Japanese titles, three World medals (one silver and two bronze), a Grand Prix Final title, and fourth- and fifth-place Olympic finishes, Fumie Suguri was the most consistent Japanese woman in the late 1990s and early 2000s. She returns this week to the ISU Adult Figure Skating Competition, reminiscent of another Japanese great, Midori Ito, who competed at that same competition a few years ago.
