Three-time World figure skating champion Mao Asada has returned to training after taking last season off and may return to competition, according to her blog.
“I began to think during my time off that I could do it again,” Asada wrote in Japanese, according to a Wall Street Journal translation. “I will keep my hopes high and continue practicing every day.”
Last May, Asada said she was “50-50″ about returning to competition after she would take the 2014-15 season off.
Asada, 24, won silver at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics behind Yuna Kim, but she lost any shot of a medal in Sochi with a 16th-place showing in the short program.
