Mao-chan, thank you for your brilliance, your strength and your majesty in our sport. You've touched so many hearts through your competitive career and I wish you a very happy retirement!
Ashley Wagner: Congrats on a beautiful and illustrious career. You truly lit up the ice with your talent and changed the path of skating. https://translate.googleusercontent...p1334/&usg=ALkJrhiiv9eo9WVAB0IAMaCuDNlN9GNwTg
Laurie Lepisto: Huge respect and gratitude to Mao Asada for developing our sports, congratulations to a rate career, and all the best for the future.
Shizuku Arakawa video: Mao has been a challenger with conviction. She has been the most influential performer in Japanese figure skating.

During the 3 hour broadcast honoring Mao's career Evgeni Plushenko and Evgenia Medvedeva were both interviewed and both complimented Mao on her great technical elements and sophisticated expression with Evgeni also mentioning how she mastered body position and movement though I admit I didn't write it down just caught the jist of it in Russian. Evgenia specifically being inspired by seeing Mao in 2007 Worlds from what I remember and understand. There was also a very nice tweet written in Japanese by Jason Browne but I can't find it now.
Long video clip during which Nobunari just continues to cry for a long time. I admit to crying too.
