In an effort to reignite her career, five-time Japan national champion Fumie Suguri has joined forces with coach Nikolai Morozov, the man who led Shizuka Arakawa to the gold medal at the 2006 Olympic Games and Miki Ando to the 2007 world championship.
Suguri arrived in Hackensack, N.J., 10 days ago to begin training under Morozov, who also mentors Nobunari Oda and the Japanese-American ice dancing team of Chris and Cathy Reed.
After struggling during the 2007-08 season with poor results, Suguri left Russia and coach Alexander Zhulin to sign on with Morozov.
