After finally making it into the finals in two years, two-time World Champion Mao Asada withdrew from the competition today. As it appears, Mao-chan's mother has taken to illness, since prior to the Grand Prix, and has now gotten worse. The figure skater has decided to leave Quebec and fly home to be with her family.
My thoughts go out to the Asada family at this difficult time.

P.S., on a totally ISU-related note, I have a feeling Tuktamisheva now has this in the bag.
UPDATE: Asada's mother died at the young age of 48, from cirrhosis of the liver. Mao did not get back to Japan in time.
