Here are two of Japan's speedskating greats, Seiko Hashimoto
and Tomomi Okasaki, enjoying a moment in
front of the cameras at the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. Although Seiko is no longer
competing on an international leve, she is still active as an on-ice coach
and a promoter of the sports of ice and in-line speedskating. Seiko is also
a national representative in the Japanese government.
