This marks the 100th installment of Ice Time. The column is now in its eighth year after beginning on May 18, 2008, with a look at skaters trying to save ice rinks in Japan. To commemorate the milestone we have a special interview with retired star Yukari Nakano, who is currently a director in the Sports Division at Fuji TV.
Nakano, now 29, has been working with the company since 2010 after earning both undergraduate and master’s degrees from Waseda University in Tokyo.
