Re: Daisuki Takahashi returning to amateur competition!
Wow - this will be interesting to watch! I hope he doesn't end up struggling in the same way that Patrick Chan did. I prefer to remember skaters from their glory days, rather than watch them struggle to reach their previous level of skill. I wish him the best!

I agree, Kevin that is sometimes painful to watch.

I read in one article that he plans to try competing for one year.

Wow!! Well, good for him, but I agree with what the rest of you are saying. He certainly has a huge fan support base. They must be going crazy!! I had sort of wondered what happened as he didn't announce his retirement.
