THE MANY MOODS OF FIGURE SKATING

Figure skating is a game of elegance and grace, but while twirling around, Mao Asada was caught making a face that was anything but that. Perhaps the skater, who was representing Japan in the Figure Skating Women’s Short Program at the 2014 Winter Olympics got too dizzy or underestimated the speed of her spins.

In both the team program and ladies’ single event, Asada fell during the triple Axel. It was a move that she had mastered previously but could not do so this time. Later that year, at the World Championships, she went on to break the world record for the short program by scoring 78.66 points.
