Mirai was not able to hold onto first place. When she came off the ice, she told her coach Frank Carroll that she was sorry. He responded, “Why? You’re not dead.” That certainly puts it into perspective for the 16 year old.
Kim Yu-Na, the 2009 World Champion and 2010 Olympic Champion, managed to take the silver. The last woman to win back-to-back Worlds is Michelle Kwan. So Yu-Na is not quite in the same league - yet.
My Sweetie, who calls himself a skating widower, is glad that the competitive skating season is over until next fall.
Here's Mirai's lovely short program.
