My Take
Some skaters overpower a program. Mai Mihara dissolves into it. Watching her, I never got the sense of a body fighting the ice; the music arrived and she simply went where it went. What makes her career interesting to me is its shape. She won the Four Continents title in 2017, then won it again in 2022 — five years apart, with silver in 2018 and bronze in 2019 in between. Careers in women's figure skating are famously short, and returning to the very top after that long a gap is far harder than arriving there the first time. The 2022 season was the fullest answer: Grand Prix of Espoo, the MK John Wilson Trophy, and then the Grand Prix Final itself. She also took two Winter World University Games titles, in 2019 and 2023, while studying at Konan University in Kobe. She has since retired from competition, but hers is the kind of skating people describe with feeling rather than with numbers.
