[ru] Асада, Май

Май Асада (яп. 浅田 舞 Асада Май, р. 17 июля 1988 (1988-07-17) г.) — японская фигуристка, выступавшая в одиночном катании. Привлекла внимание в 2002—2005 годах, успешно выступая на юниорских соревнованиях в Японии и на чемпионатах мира среди юниоров[2]. Однако не завоёвывала медалей на престижных международных соревнованиях, и впоследствии намного большую известность получила её младшая сестра Мао Асада — трёхкратная чемпионка мира и призёр Олимпиады-2010.
