BOSTON — Three-time World figure skating champion Mao Asada said Monday that she plans to compete through the Pyeongchang 2018 Olympics.
“If I make the Olympic team,” Asada added with a laugh, through a translator.
The 2010 Olympic silver medalist took the 2014-15 season off from competition and announced her return in May, when she reportedly said it was “much too early to think about the [2018] Olympics.”
Asada, 25, opened her season in earnest by winning the Cup of China in November over a field that included Russian Yelena Radionova, arguably the silver-medal favorite at the World Championships at TD Garden this week.
