Mao Asada looks ahead after 7th at World Championships

Three-time World champion Mao Asada was vague about her future plans after finishing seventh at the World Championships on Saturday, her lowest result at an Olympics or Worlds in 11 appearances.

“I’ve just finished my free skate so it’s hard to say, but my feelings and inclinations can change from day to day,” Asada said, according to an International Skating Union press release. “There are times when I think I can do it and other times when I think that I cannot. I want to rest for now and then give it more thought.”

But Asada said she planned to compete at least next season, according to the Japan News.
