In an expected announcment, women's figure skating Olympic gold medalist Shizuka Arakawa is quitting competitive skating. Arakawa is the first ever Asian to win an Olympic gold medal in the sport.
After winning the gold medal in Turin, Arakawa did not compete at the World Championships in Calgary in March. She plans to perform in ice shows in Japan and the U.S.
There is still some speculation about whether Michelle Kwan will retire. She has said that she wants to remain Olympic eligible. Earlier this spring, Sasha Cohen said she would remain in competitive skating and go for the gold in Vancouver in 2010.
