Medal record

Fumie Suguri (村主 章枝 Suguri Fumie, born December 31, 1980 in Chiba[1]) is a Japanese figure skater. She is a three-time World medalist, a three-time Four Continents champion, the 2003 Grand Prix Final champion, and a five-time Japanese national champion.
Personal life
Suguri was born in Chiba, Chiba, Japan. Her younger sister, Chika, is also a figure skater.
Her father was a pilot for JAL and due to his job, the family moved to Anchorage, Alaska when Suguri was three.[2][3] She is bilingual in Japanese and English.[3]
Suguri graduated from Waseda University. She has a degree in social sciences.[3]
Career
Suguri began skating at age 5 in Alaska. When she returned to Japan, she began formal training under coach Nobuo Sato, a ten-time Japanese national champion.
In 1994, while visiting the practice rink for the 1994 World Championships, Suguri was taught the triple Lutz jump by Michelle Kwan, who was competing in the event.
Suguri won her first Japanese national title in 1997, and won it four more times in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2006.
In 2001, Suguri won the 2001 Four Continents. She is the first Japanese woman to win that competition. She would go on to win Four Continents three more times, and she holds the most Four Continents titles of any Japanese skater and any female skater.
In 2002, she competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics and placed 5th. A month later, she won the bronze medal at the 2002 World Championships behind Michelle Kwan and Irina Slutskaya. Her bronze medal at Worlds was the first medal for a Japanese woman at the World Championships since Yuka Sato won the title in 1994.
In 2003, Suguri won the bronze medal again at the World Championships, this time behind Kwan and Elena Sokolova.
In 2003, she won the NHK Trophy, then placed 3rd at Cup of China, thus qualifying for the Grand Prix Final. Suguri won the Final, defeating Sasha Cohen. Suguri is the first Japanese woman to win that competition. Suguri left Sato after the 2004 World Championships after she lost two competitions to Miki Ando, who was also coached by Sato at the time. She moved to Chicago in the United States to train with Oleg Vasiliev in the autumn of 2004.[3] Due to her poor results in the 2004–2005 season, the Japanese Skating Federation refused to let her continue working with Vasiliev. Suguri returned to Sato and soon after Ando left him.
In the 2005–2006 season, Suguri won the Japanese Figure Skating Championships against Mao Asada and Shizuka Arakawa. She competed at the 2006 Winter Olympics, where she placed 4th. She won the silver medal at the 2006 World Championships behind Kimmie Meissner. She became the first Japanese woman to earn three World Championship medals.
In the 2006–2007 season, Suguri finished fourth at the Japanese championships behind younger competitors Mao Asada, Miki Ando and Yukari Nakano, and missed a spot to the World Championships held in her home country. She competed at the Four Continents Championships but withdrew due to injury after falling on two jumps in her short program. At the end of the season, Suguri left Sato again as she felt overshadowed by Yukari Nakano, who was also training with Sato at the time.
For the 2007–2008 season, Suguri decided to train in Russia with Alexander Zhulin, who had choreographed her programs in the previous season. Due to Zhulin's marital problems, she had to spend most of her time with Igor Pashkevich. At the Japanese National Championships, Suguri placed third after her short program, but she stumbled in the free program, finishing fourth overall, and, again, she missed a spot on the World Championship team.
During the 2008–2009 season, Suguri chose to train with coach Nikolai Morozov in Hackensack, New Jersey. There, she was able to improve her jumping ability. Her first competition of the season was Skate Canada where she placed second behind Joannie Rochette. Her next competition was Cup of Russia, where she led after the short program, then placed third in the free skate, and finished third, overall. At the 2008/2009 Japanese Championships she was 5th after the short program due to a fall on a triple flip. In her long program she landed five triples and scored 121.27 points, winning the long program and placing second overall behind Mao Asada. Suguri made the World team for the first time in three years. She placed 6th at the 2009 Four Continents and 8th at the 2009 World Championships.
Suguri left Morozov in the summer of 2009 to train with Alexei Mishin in Russia, saying she wanted to work on triple/triple combinations and the triple axel. Mishin neglected Suguri and she spent most of her time with Igor Pashkevich. She finished 7th at the 2010 Japanese National Championships.
In March 2011, Suguri stated that she would continue competing the next season, and possibly until 2014.[4] She was unsuccessful in her effort to reach the 2011–2012 Japanese Nationals, finishing 12th in her qualifying competition. She was dealing with an ankle injury.[5]
