Personal life

Nagasu was born in Montebello, Los Angeles County, California and raised in Arcadia, California. Nagasu's parents, owners of the Restaurant Kiyosuzu,[7] a Japanese sushi restaurant in Arcadia, are immigrants from Japan[8][9] in the general sense of the word, but are not citizens of USA, the status of which makes Mirai a dual citizen of both Japan and the United States.[10] She must choose between her US and Japanese citizenships before her 22nd birthday, since Japan doesn't allow dual citizenship for adults 22 or older.[11][12] Nagasu speaks a mixture of Japanese and English at home with her parents.[13] Her mother, Ikuko, was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in the fall of 2009.[14] Mirai (未来) means "future" in Japanese,[10] while her last name is written as 長洲 in kanji.[15]

Nagasu was a recipient of a Michael Weiss Foundation scholarship, which is for young American figure skaters.[8]

Nagasu graduated from Foothills Middle School in the spring of 2007 and entered Arcadia High School in the fall of 2007. In 2009, she began attending an online high school.[16]

She is well known 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.[17] She was also hired as a television commentator in Japanese for Fuji TV during the 2009 World Championships, which were held in Los Angeles.[18]

She admires Kim Yu-Na, Michelle Kwan and Mao Asada.[19]

Career

Early career

Nagasu began skating at age five.

In the 2002–2003 season, she competed on the Juvenile level. She placed 5th at the Southwest Pacific Regional Championships.[20]

In the 2003–2004 season, she moved up to the Intermediate level. She placed 4th at the Southwest Pacific Regional Championships.[21] 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[22] 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.[23] At the 2005 U.S. Junior Championships, she placed 11th in her qualifying group[24] 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 U.S. Championships. Skaters qualify for Nationals 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, 5th in the free skate, and placed 5th overall.[25] She did not advance to Sectionals.

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 points, which was 20.91 ahead of silver medalist Laney Diggs.[26] She advanced to the Pacific Coast Sectional Championships, which she won with a score of 135.04 points, 5.74 ahead of silver medalist Victoria Rackohn.[27] This win at Sectionals qualified her for the Nationals. The 2007 Championships were her first time competing at the event and was only her second national-level competition.[28]

At the U.S. Nationals, Nagasu won the Junior level short program with a score of 54.26 points, 0.39 ahead of second place finisher Caroline Zhang, who came to the event as the reigning Junior Grand Prix Final champion and the heavy favorite.[28][29] Nagasu won the free skate with a score of 101.20, 3.19 points ahead of Zhang.[30] Nagasu won the overall title with a combined score of 155.46.[31]

Nagasu went on to compete at Junior Worlds. 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 with 57.22 points, 1.95 points behind Caroline Zhang.[32] She placed second in the free skate with 106.62 points, 3.46 points behind Zhang.[33] She won the silver medal earning 163.84 points, finishing 5.41 points behind champion Zhang and 6.69 points ahead of bronze medalist Ashley Wagner.[34] Zhang, Nagasu, and Wagner constituted the first ever sweep by the United States of the World Junior ladies podium.[35]

2007–2008 season

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.[36] 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.[37] 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.[38] In the free skate, Nagasu placed second by 4.81 points behind Rachael Flatt.[39] Nagasu won the title overall by 2.43 points ahead of silver medalist Flatt and was 12.67 points ahead of bronze medalist Nishino.[40]

Skating as a senior at U.S. Nationals, Nagasu won the short program with a score of 70.23,[41] 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.[42] 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.[43] She also became the second-youngest American senior ladies champion in history, after Tara Lipinski.[44]

As the U.S. National Champion, Nagasu would have qualified for the World Championships; however, Nagasu was not old enough by International Skating Union rules to compete at that competition, and so she was assigned to the Junior Worlds. Of the four top finishers at the 2008 U.S. Championships, only Ashley Wagner was old enough to compete at senior Worlds,[44] with the other medalists sent to Junior Worlds.

At 2008 Junior Worlds, Nagasu won the short program with a score of 65.07, 2.47 points ahead of Zhang.[45] She placed third in the free skate with a score of 97.82, 14.21 points behind Flatt and 11.42 points behind Zhang.[46] 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.[47] The United States team swept World Juniors ladies podium for the second time. Nagasu had been involved in both.

Nagasu is considered a strong spinner, and has received a straight +3.00 grade of execution for her layback spin.[74] She often performs the Biellmann spin with a variation in which her hands are on the boot of her skate instead of the blade. Nagasu has been described as having a graceful, fluid, lyrical and enchanting style.[75]
