A rumor about her mother being unwell?

a rumor about her mother was sick~ but that was disclosure by an unreliable magazine. no one confirmed that and ppl won't think that is real.

I just remembered I saw the headline on google search or something.

I see, thanks shikure. this is so sad..

I feel so sad now...yes no doubt I am disappointed as this is the GPF that we have waited for 3 years..
but of course more important is her mother ><...i think the condition must be very serious which mao have to withdraw at the last moment......I hope her mother will getting better soon... I dont want our Mao to be sad anymore...and Mai too ><...I like their family so much, good luck to their family...

Be strong Mao!! ><

I can't believe this, if there has been so many rumours about her mother being sick why hasn't there been talked about or any reliable news mentioned it before... this is soo frustrating, what kind of illnes could suddenly appear out of nowhere!

Oh noes, what a bad timing this all has!
But i wish all the best to her mom, whatever she has!

The more I think about it, the more I'm worried for mao... just imagining her being worried on the plane for at least 15 hours, and rushing to the hospital from the airport... how torturing will that be.
Our girl is really amazingly strong. Bet she knows her mom is sicked all these times, but she keeps training and appears strong during interviews. Being much older than her, I got bothered by problems so easily in my own life. *shame*
Mao-chan, I definitely learn from you. Thank you.

yeah that really counts for me too

I'm so worried for Mao I pray for her mom and family to be well!! Ganbatte all of you!! Be strong willed just like your daughter Mrs. Asada!! You can overcome this!!!

OMG Mao´s more strong than i thought with a family problem and competeing ,training and going to interviews all this time and that´s incredible. I hope everyting will be fine, i hope she arrives soon to Japan please

When she is back in Japan, maybe Takahiko can be by her site! *tries to make a better mood*

well no matter what I think we will get the whole story by tomorrow, and the only thig we can do is hope that it isn't anything to serious and that Mao's mothers recovers quickly, i can't imagine what will happen to Mao if her mothers critical condition stays like that! just the thought makes me wanna cry!

I'm still in shock , just crying Mao doesn't deserve it! I believe everything will be alright! Mao's mother is super strong woman, I know she will recover soon!
I hope all Akiko,Dai and Yuzuru will perform well, guys, just do it for Mao!!

Oh my God, this has to be very serious, for her to go back home. I hope Mao's mother will overcome this.
This girl is so unbelievably strong. I can't believe she's only 21.

This situation reminds me of Ira in GPF 2002 in Petersburg, when her mother was hospitalized at the night before the competition. And you know, these terrible situations will make her even stronger.

According to Lynn Rutherford's tweet: "A member of JSF's contingent here says Asada's mother was ill prior to this event&the situation has grown worse prompting Mao to return home"

I agree, I also thought of Ira.

I still can't believe these all are happening, i feel like crazy, my hands are shaking pushing buttons of the tv remote, waiting and looking for the breaking news of Mao and her mother critically ill in the hospital , but to no avail. If ever there will be announcement in the news i think it will be in 40 minutes more at news early bird by 4am.

Reading all the links you guys here have shared, i can't help but feel the situation, These are all oh so, so sad... I feel and worry for Mao now, who's probably in the plane now on her way back, scared and worried for her Mom. My heart goes out to Mao's Mom in the hospital, to Mai and also their whole family. I feel so sad for what they all are going through. My heart cries for Mrs. Asada, may God take away her pain, and restore her good health. I pray for our dear Mao as well who has to be brave facing all these... I wish i could give her a hug at least right this very moment. >:d< hang in there Mao... May God hold them all in the palm of His hand and cloak them all in His love and peace at this trying, difficult time. Bless Coach Sato too for being with Mao now in their flight back, who probably also doing his best in comforting Mao, reassuring her that everything will be alright. My prayers as well for their safe return flight, and thoughts and more prayers for the whole Asada family. God please keep them all safe.

The same is happening to me. i can't concentrate on anything. I keep thinking about Mao. This must be the longest flight home of her life. Knowing now, that this has been going on for long time, I can't help but cry, when I remeber how strong both, Mao and Mai have been.
I hope and pray, that her mother will get better soon.

It's the same with me. I am supposed to work, but I can't think about anything else right now. Just sitting around checking for updates on the internet. I wish there was something I could do to help Mao and support her.

Oh no! I just found out about Mao's situation. Her mom must be pretty sick for Mao to skip GPF. What horrible timing. I really hope her mom will be ok

Same with me. I can't stay focused on anything over Mao, I'm trying to calm down but it doesn't work. I want to hug Mao, say everything will be ok. God,please, give Asada family strength to overcome all difficulties and may them all stay healthy. I hope as soon as Mao will arrive to Japan, her mother will feel better.

me too, I really hope that it isn't anything serious!

OMG I just can't believe something this huge happened! :/
I can't think of how serious the situation might be if Mao withdrew!

I never heard of any news about her mother's health.
My prayers go to Mao and her family. I just hope her mom will be fine!
I can't believe am crying right now! This is just so sad!

It's been confirmed here, tv Asahi just announced the news of Mao's withdrew from GPF via 5am news, and is on her way home now due to her Mother's critical condition. One of the team lady from JSF has made an urgent press conference @ around 5am JST regarding the matter and it was shown on the tv news. She said that Mao's manager contacted them at around late wee hours Canada time thru celfone call, telling the critical condition of mao's Mom. The JSF rep. also said that Mao left and board the plane at around past 1am JST, apologising that she had to witdrew and leave. They accompanied her also to the airport when Mao and Coach Sato left and she said that Mao looks sad and stern "りんとして、帰った" (rin toshite kaeta). The JSF lady spokesperson also relayed that Mao said that this GPF meant a lot to her and she would be willing to still compete if only they received sure words that her Mom will be safe and ok, but it didn't happen so she had to leave and be with her critical Mom asap. The JSF spokesperson looks so sad as well while reporting all these. They didn't thought that all would go down to this and that Mao's Mom 's condition would worsen. (-_-)

noooooooo , why was there no answer about whether her Mom would be ok, this doesn't look good! I feel so devastated to hear how sad Mao was and how much this competition meant to her, as well as her mom's critical condition!


but I need to know what happened for Mao's mom to be in a critical condition, and what's worse why couldn't they say that she would be okay!

Oh no... It looked like Mao's mom is in very very bad condition
