This year, Team Japan, Team North America, and Team Europe will battle it out, and the roster is expected to be awesome!

According to the official website, this is the breakdown of each team.

Team Japan: Mao Asada, Kanako Murakami, Daisuke Takahashi, Takahiko Kozuka.

Team North America: Ashley Wagner, Joannie Rochette, Jeffrey Buttle, Jeremy Abbott.

Team Europe: Adelina Sotnikova, Irina Slutskaya, Javier Fernandez, Michal Brezina.

With such a fierce battle between former and current competitive skaters, Japan Open Figure Skating 2013 will sure to be an awesome event for figure skating fans.
