I’ll miss them a lot, but it doesn’t surprise me. No more worlds to conquer, and Kihara has been at this a very long time.

When there's only so many spots available on the Grand Prix (and at championships), options are not unlimited in that regard. It doesn't really seem like lack of resources was the issue here, either. They had a fair number of decent junior/young senior teams, they've just ended up splitting and...
