[edit] Personal life

Nagasu was born in Montebello, Los Angeles County, California and raised in Arcadia, California. Nagasu's parents are immigrants from Japan[2] and Nagasu is Japanese American. Her name Mirai is a Japanese word meaning "future." Her name may be represented in Japanese using the Kanji 長洲未来 or using the Kana ナガス・ミライ, both representations having been used by the Japanese press. These representations are of "Nagasu Mirai," the name order used in Japanese, and not of "Nagasu Mirai Aileen," and so are not representations of her full name.

Her parents own a sushi restaurant in Arcadia.[3]

Nagasu was a recipient of a Michael Weiss Foundation scholarship, which is for young American figure skaters.[3]

Nagasu graduated from Foothills Middle School in the spring of 2007 and entered Arcadia High School in the fall of 2007.

As Nagasu was born in the United States, but both her parents were born in Japan, she has dual citizenship with the United States and Japan. According to Japanese law, she must choose which citizenship to maintain before her 22nd birthday.[4] She has always competed for the United States.

Her Japanese heritage has inspired considerable publicity for Nagasu in Japan. Beginning with her win at the Junior level at the 2007 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, Nagasu featured prominently in news stories along with Japanese skaters Mao Asada and Miki Ando, leading to speculation in the Japanese media that Nagasu was being courted by the Japanese Skating Federation to switch countries and skate for Japan.[5] In the summer of 2007, Nagasu performed in ice shows in Japan.

In the fall of 2007, after winning her two Junior Grand Prix events, Nagasu took part in the International Counter Match "made for television" event in Japan. There, Nagasu was part of Team USA and competed against Team Japan. In the promotion and news coverage of the event, Nagasu's presence and participation were given nearly as much coverage as Ando's and Asada's. As far into her career as October 2007, after Nagasu had already qualified for the Junior Grand Prix Final for the United States, the Japanese media continued to speculate on the possibility of her skating for Japan.[6]

[edit] Career

[edit] Early career

Nagasu began skating at age five.

In the 2002-2003 season, Nagasu competed on the Juvenile level. She placed 5th at the Southwest Pacific Regional Championships[7]

In the 2003-2004 season, she moved up to the Intemediate level. She placed 4th at the Southwest Pacific Regional Championships[8]. She competed at the 2004 U.S. Junior Championships, which is the national-level championships for Juvenile and Intermediate skaters. She placed 8th in her qualifying group[9] and did not advance to the short program.

In the 2004-2005 season, she remained on the Intermediate level. She won the Southwest Pacific Regional Championships[10]. At the 2005 U.S. Junior Championships, she placed 11th in her qualifying group[11] and did not advance to the short program.

For the 2005-2006 season, she advanced to the Novice level, which is the lowest level that competes at the United States Figure Skating Championships. Skaters qualify for the U.S. Figure Skating Championships by placing in the top four at regionals and then going on to place in the top four at Sectionals. At the Southwest Pacific Regional Championships, the first step to qualifying for Nationals, Nagasu placed 3rd in the short program, fifth in the free skate, and placed fifth overall[12]. She did not advance to Sectionals.

[edit] 2006-2007 season

In the 2006-2007 season, Nagasu moved up to the Junior level. She won the Southwest Pacific Regional Championships with a score of 151.77, which was 20.91 points ahead of silver medalist Laney Diggs[13]. She advanced to the Pacific Coast Sectional Championships, which she won with a score of 135.04, 5.74 points ahead of silver medalist Victoria Rackohn[14]. This win at Sectionals qualified her for the 2007 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. The 2007 Championships were was her first time competing at the U.S. Figure Skating Championships and was only her second national-level competition[15].

At the 2007 U.S. Championships, Nagasu won the Junior level short program with a score of 54.26, 0.39 points ahead of second place finisher Caroline Zhang, who came to the event as the reigning Junior Grand Prix Final champion and the heavy favorite.[16][15]. Nagasu won the free skate with a score of 101.20, 3.19 points ahead of Zhang[17]. Nagasu won the overall title with a combined score of 155.46.[18].

Nagasu went on to the 2007 World Junior Figure Skating Championships. As she did not have international skating experience, and, thus, had no ISU Personal Best on record, she skated in the first half of the ladies short program. After the short program, she was ranked second, 1.95 points behind Caroline Zhang[19]. She placed second in the free skate, 3.46 points behind Zhang[20]. She won the silver medal, finishing 5.41 points behind champion Zhang and 6.69 points ahead of bronze medalist Ashley Wagner[21]. Zhang, Nagasu, and Wagner constituted the first ever sweep by the United States of the World Junior ladies podium[22].

[edit] 2007-2008 season

Nagasu performs a catch-foot layback spin at the 2007 Junior Grand Prix, USA.

For the 2007-2008 season, Nagasu moved up to the Senior level nationally, but remained Junior internationally. At the 2007-2008 ISU Junior Grand Prix event in Lake Placid, New York, the first Junior Grand Prix competition of her career, she won both the short and free programs to win the gold medal with a 26.47 point lead over silver medalist Alexe Gilles.[23] She went on to her second event, the Junior Grand Prix event in Zagreb, Croatia. She won both the short and free programs to win the event with a 11.08 point lead over silver medalist Jenni Vähämaa[24]. These two wins qualified her for the Junior Grand Prix Final.

At the 2007-2008 Junior Grand Prix Final in Gdansk, Poland, Nagasu won the short program with a score of 59.35, 4.72 points ahead of second-place finisher Yuki Nishino[25]. In the free skate, Nagasu placed second by 4.81 points behind Rachael Flatt.[26] Nagasu won the title overall by 2.43 points ahead of silver medalist Flatt and was 12.67 points ahead of bronze medalist Nishino.[27]

Skating as a senior at the 2008 United States Figure Skating Championships, Nagasu won the short program with a score of 70.23[28], 5.08 points ahead of second place finisher Ashley Wagner. During the program, Nagasu landed a triple lutz-triple toe loop combination for the first time in competition.[29] In the free skate, Nagasu placed third with a score of 120.18, 5.64 points behind first place finisher Rachael Flatt and 3.23 points behind second place finisher Wagner. She won the title overall with a score of 190.41, 1.68 ahead of silver medalist Flatt.

By winning the U.S. Championships, Nagasu became the first skater to win the junior and senior National titles back to back in the ladies division since Joan Tozzer in 1937 and 1938.[30] She also became the second-youngest American senior ladies champion in history, after Tara Lipinski[31].

As the U.S. National Champion, Nagasu would have qualified for the 2008 World Figure Skating Championships; however, Nagasu was not old enough by International Skating Union rules to compete at that competition, and so she was assigned to the 2008 World Junior Figure Skating Championships. Of the four top finishers at the 2008 U.S. Championships, only Ashley Wagner was old enough to go to the World Championships[31]. The other three medalists were sent to the World Junior Championships.

At the 2008 World Junior Championships, Nagasu won the short program with a score of 65.07, 2.47 points ahead of Zhang[32]. She placed third in the free skate with a score of 97.82, 14.21 points behind Flatt and 11.42 points behind Zhang[33]. She won the bronze medal with a combined score of 162.89, 8.95 points behind silver medalist Zhang, and 9.30 behind Flatt, who took the gold.[34]. The United States team swept World Juniors ladies podium for the second time. Nagasu had been involved in both.

[edit] 2008-2009 season

Nagasu performs an arabesque spiral during her short program City Lights at the 2008 NHK Trophy.

For the 2008-2009 season, Nagasu moved up to the senior level internationally. She had injured her ankle and had had a significant growth spurt. In her senior Grand Prix debut at the 2008 Skate America, she placed fourth in the short program with 56.42 points, and placed seventh in her free skate with 86.48 points. She finished fifth overall with for total score of 142.90. At the 2008 NHK Trophy, Nagasu placed eighth in the short program with 50.14 points and ninth in her free skate with 74.08 points, giving her a total of 124.22 points to place eighth overall in the competition.

At the 2009 United States Figure Skating Championships in January, she was placed sixth after the short program. She looked to be near tears before she hit the ice for her long program but was all smiles and fist pumps afterward. Skating with good speed, she included six triples in her program, although two triple flips were downgraded by the technical panel. She placed fifth in the long program and finished fifth overall with 159.99 points.[35]

[edit] 2009-2010 Season

For the 2009-10 season, Nagasu has been assigned to the 2009 Cup of China and the 2009 Skate Canada International Grand Prix events.

[edit] Coaching changes

Mirai Nagasu was coached by Sandy Gollihugh for some of her early career. She made a coaching change to Charlene Wong in October 2006[36]. During this period, Wong was her primary coach. Nagasu's secondary coaches included Sashi Kuchiki, Sondra Holmes, Bob Paul, and Jim Yorke, with whom she worked on a once a week basis to refine various details of her skating.[3]

In May, 2009, Nagasu changed coaches to Frank Carroll[37].
