Machida Retires Unexpectedly

Wait, what? Tatsuki Machida is retiring?

He crushed the competition at Skate America! Like, trounced the field. His subsequent performances were not as stellar though, and most recently he finished a disappointing fourth at the Japanese National Championships.

I guess it makes sense to retire after an Olympic cycle. He's the reigning World silver medalist, and at the ripe old age of 24, says he's retiring to focus on school.

Good luck man, we'll miss you in the skating world.
