Fumie Suguri
Fumie Suguri (村主 章枝, Suguri Fumie; born December 31, 1980) is a Japanese former competitive 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.
Suguri was born in Chiba, Chiba, Japan. Her younger sister, Chika, is also a former competitive figure skater. Their father was a pilot for JAL and due to his job, the family moved to Anchorage, Alaska when Suguri was three. She is bilingual in Japanese and English.
Suguri graduated from Waseda University, after finishing school life of Seisen Junior and Senior high school, and has a degree in social sciences.
In November 2014, Suguri was believed to have came out as bisexual. However, in October 2022, Kaitlyn Weaver communicated on Twitter that Suguri is not in fact bisexual, but supported the LGBT community. Suguri's coming out was reported in error.
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 became Japan's national champion for the first time in 1997. Her second national title came in the 2000–01 season. She went on to win gold at the 2001 Four Continents, becoming the first Japanese woman to win the competition.
In 2001–02, Suguri won her third national title and competed at the 2002 Winter Olympics, where she 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.
