Asada Mao has a new coach

Ice-skater Asada Mao (19) will get a new coach after losing to Kim Yuna (19) during the Vancouver Olympics earlier this year. It has been reported that the only reason for her loss was the difference in coaches and that her talent was equal, if not better than Kim Yuna's. This sentiment was echoed by Arakawa Torino, former Olympic gold medallist, who serves as Mao's mentor. It is hoped that this change will help Asada Mao in the next Winter Olympics. (Enatme)
