He will also sit out this entire season. Oh goodness what terrible timing. This is not the season where Japan wants its best male skater on the sidelines...there's spots at the Olympics to be earned in L.A! Japan will have to hope Oda and Kozuka are up to the task. Speaking of Oda, what an opportunity for him to steal back the limelight...trouble is Kozuka is currently basking in it! What ... Read Full Story
