Japanese figure skater Suguri announces retirement

TOKYO, Japan - Japanese figure skater Fumie Suguri, 33, eats some pudding during a press conference in Tokyo's Shibuya Ward on Nov. 13, 2014, held to announce her retirement. Asked what she would like to do most after her retirement, the two-time Olympian said she wanted to eat custard pudding, a favorite food item she had refrained from eating since the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, in her determination to compete again in an Olympic Games -- before one was offered to her as a surprise.
