Midori is admirable for many reasons. Her past glory as an amateur skater is endlessly impressive, but its her career as a competitive adult skater that really wows me these days. She's not doing triple axels anymore, or even any triples, but at 45, she is still skating, and even competing!
Here's a video of her at the 2013 ISU Adult Championships in Oberstdorf, Germany—a competition in which I someday hope to skate—and nailing it (and winning gold).
