She is the daughter of Chris Shibutani and Naomi Uyemura , both of Japanese descent , who met as Harvard musicians . She has an older brother , Alex Shibutani , who competes with her as her partner in the discipline of Ice Dance . She started figure skating at the age of 4 in 1998 in Old Greenwich , Connecticut , where she was a student at Greenwich Academy in Greenwich , Connecticut . She lived in Colorado Springs from 2005 through 2007 and was home - schooled . She moved to Ann Arbor , Michigan , in 2007 and graduated from Huron High School in Ann Arbor in 2012 . She entered the University of Michigan in the fall of 2012 . Career ( edit ) Early career ( edit ) Maia Shibutani began skating at age four . She originally trained as a single skater and was taught by Slavka Kohout Button , a coach best known for guiding US ladies ' champion Janet Lynn . A key source of inspiration for Maia and her brother Alex to pursue ice dancing came in March 2003 when their family attended the World Championships in Washington D.C. Alex Shibutani recalled , `` We were seated close to the ice in the second row , and when the ice dancers came out for their warm up , we could actually feel a gust of wind as the skaters flew by . We were so impressed with the artistry , skating quality , and speed of the top teams that we decided to give it a try . '' 2004 -- 2005 season ( edit ) Maia and Alex Shibutani first teamed up as ice dance partners in the spring of 2004 . Their singles coach , Kathy Bird , arranged for them to work with their first ice dancing coaches Andy Stroukoff and Susie Kelley . The Shibutanis also worked with Mary Marchiselli , and their first free dance program was choreographed by Josh Babb . During the 2004 -- 2005 season , their first season of competition , they competed on the juvenile level , which is the lowest competitive level in the U.S. Figure Skating testing structure . They competed at the 2005 North Atlantic Regional Championships , the qualifying competition for the U.S. Junior Championships , and won the competition . The win qualified them for the 2005 U.S. Junior Championships . At that competition , they placed second in the first compulsory dance , fourth in the second compulsory dance , and third in the free dance , ending up with the silver medal . 2005 -- 2006 season ( edit ) The Shibutanis moved up to the intermediate level and embarked on several visits to Colorado Springs , Colorado , to work with choreographer Tom Dickson . During that season , they were also coached by Judy Blumberg on the east coast . After unexpectedly strong results in their first year competing at the intermediate level at the Lake Placid Ice Dance Competition ( including first place in every compulsory and free dance segment of the competition that they entered at the Lake Placid Ice Dance Competition in the summer of 2005 ) , the Shibutanis decided to relocate to Colorado Springs on a full - time basis in order to benefit from the strong training center environment of the Broadmoor Skating Club . In Colorado Springs , their primary coach was Patti Gottwein During that time , they also worked with Rich Griffin , Damon Allen , Eric Schulz , and Christopher Dean . The Shibutanis won the Southwestern Regional Championships , qualifying for the 2006 U.S Junior Championships . At the 2006 U.S. Junior Championships , they placed second in the first compulsory dance and then won the second compulsory and free dances to win the title overall . They worked as guest bloggers and aides for the media staff for U.S. Figure Skating at the 2006 U.S. Championships , and again at the 2006 Four Continents , which were held in Colorado Springs . 2006 -- 2007 season ( edit ) The Shibutanis moved up to the novice level , which is the first of the three levels that compete at the U.S. Championships . Strong results at the Lake Placid Ice Dance Championships , including first place in the Novice Free Dance event , earned them their first opportunity to compete internationally under the ISU Judging System . At the North American Challenge event in Burnaby , British Columbia , they were the highest placing Americans in the novice event , pulling up from fifth place after the compulsory to second overall . At the 2007 Midwestern Sectional Championships , their qualifying competition for the national championships , the Shibutanis placed second in the first compulsory dance and then won the second compulsory and the free dances to win the competition overall and qualify for the 2007 U.S. Championships . At US Nationals , the Shibutanis placed second in both compulsory dances , but with a win in the free dance were able to capture the novice gold medal . This was their second consecutive national title . Following the 2007 U.S. Championships , the Shibutanis relocated once again , moving to Michigan to be coached by Marina Zueva and Igor Shpilband at the Arctic Edge Arena in Canton , Michigan . An important factor in the decision to relocate their training based included the opportunity to live and train in an area which could provide access to both world class ice dance coaching , as well as excellent educational opportunities . Alex Shibutani , at the time of the coaching change , had two years left of high school and was considering his university options . 2007 -- 2008 season ( edit ) The Shibutanis perform a lift at the 2008 -- 2009 Junior Grand Prix Final The Shibutanis moved up to the junior level nationally . However , in an unusual circumstance for junior level competitors , they were unable to compete internationally on the junior level because Maia was not yet old enough . At the 2008 Midwestern Sectionals , the Shibutanis placed fourth in the compulsory dance and then third in the original and free dances to win the bronze medal overall . This medal qualified them for the 2008 U.S. Championships . At Nationals , they placed 7th in the compulsory dance , 2nd in the original dance , and 4th in the free dance . They placed 4th overall , winning the pewter medal . This was their fourth consecutive year earning a medal and podium placement , competing at four different levels at the national championship level . 2008 -- 2009 season : silver at World Junior Championships ( edit ) Alex & Maia Shibutani with coaches Igor Shpilband and Marina Zueva in 2008 . Maia Shibutani became age - eligible to compete on the international junior circuit . The Shibutanis made their junior international debut on the ISU Junior Grand Prix ( JGP ) . At their first event , the 2008 -- 09 ISU Junior Grand Prix event in Courchevel , France , they placed second in the compulsory dance and then won the original and free dances to win the gold medal overall by a margin of victory of 11.00 points . At their second Junior Grand Prix event in Madrid , Spain , they won the silver medal . These two medals qualified them for the 2008 -- 2009 ISU Junior Grand Prix Final for which they were the third - ranked qualifiers . The Junior Grand Prix Final was held concurrently with the senior final for the first time and so did not have a compulsory dance segment . The Shibutanis placed 7th in the original dance and 3rd in the free dance , finishing in 4th place overall . The Shibutanis went on to the 2009 U.S. Championships , where they competed on the junior level for the second consecutive year . At the event , the Shibutanis placed second in the compulsory dance , the original dance , and the free dance . They won the silver medal overall marking their fifth consecutive podium finish at a national - level competition . Following the competition , the Shibutanis were named to the team to the 2009 World Junior Championships . At the 2009 Junior World Championships in Sofia , Bulgaria , the Shibutanis placed 5th in the compulsory dance , 4th in the original dance , and 2nd in the free dance . At the ages of 14 and 17 , they won the silver medal . 2009 -- 2010 season ( edit ) For the 2009 - 2010 season , the Shibutanis continued to compete at the junior level , as Maia at just 15 , remained age - ineligible to compete on the senior level internationally . On the Junior Grand Prix series , the Shibutanis won gold medals at both their JGP events - in Lake Placid , New York , and in Zagreb , Croatia . At the JGP Final in Tokyo , Japan , they won the bronze medal . At the 2010 US Nationals , competing for their third and final time at the junior level , they won the Junior ice dance title . At the 2010 Junior Worlds , their final junior event after having competed for only two seasons on the international circuit , they finished just off the podium in fourth place . 2010 -- 2011 season : World bronze medal ( edit ) The Shibutanis at the 2011 Worlds At the ages of 16 and 19 , the Shibutanis advanced to the senior level and experienced a historic rookie season . At their senior international debut , they finished fifth at the 2010 Nebelhorn Trophy , moving up from a disappointing eighth place in the short dance with a strong second place in the free dance , finishing ahead of several veteran senior competitors . During their debut season competing in the senior Grand Prix , they won the bronze medals at both the 2010 NHK Trophy ( pulling up from 5th place after the short dance ) and the 2010 Skate America ( pulling up from fourth place after the short dance ) , making them the first ice dance team to medal at both Grand Prix events during their first season , rising from the junior and then competing on the senior level . They were first alternates for the 2010 -- 11 Grand Prix final . The Shibutanis debuted domestically at the senior level with a second place at the 2011 U.S. Nationals behind Meryl Davis and Charlie White . At their first ISU Championship event as senior competitors , the 2011 Four Continents championships , they once again finished just behind Davis and White , earning a silver medal . Maia and Alex Shibutani became the first figure skaters of Asian descent in the history of the sport to medal in ice dance at an ISU championship event . At the 2011 World Championships , an event which had to be postponed and relocated from Tokyo to Moscow owing to the earthquake disaster in Japan , they were in fourth after the short dance , 4.09 points behind third - placed Nathalie Péchalat and Fabian Bourzat . In the free dance , they scored 4.34 ahead of Pechalat and Bourzat , both of whom had fallen . The Shibutanis moved third place overall by 0.25 points and won a bronze medal in their World Championships debut . Their bronze medal finish remains the highest world championship debut of any US ice dance team in history . At the ages of 16 and 20 , they were also the youngest world medalists in the discipline of ice dance in over 50 years . 2011 -- 2012 season ( edit ) Maia and Alex Shibutani at the 2012 World Figure Skating Championships The Shibutanis started their season with a silver medal at the 2011 Finlandia Trophy . Beginning their Grand Prix season , they won silver at the 2011 Cup of China . A week later they captured their first senior Grand Prix title , earning gold at the 2011 NHK Trophy , pulling up from third place after the short dance and edging Kaitlyn Weaver and Andrew Poje for gold by 0.09 points . It was the Shibutanis ' first senior Grand Prix title , earned during just their second season competing at the senior level . Their combined results qualified them for the Grand Prix Final where they finished in fifth place . At the 2012 US National championships , the Shibutanis repeated as the silver medalists behind Davis and White . The Shibutanis finished 4th at the 2012 Four Continents , an event during which Alex competed in the free dance while extremely ill , and 8th at the 2012 World Championships . During the off - season , the Shibutanis were invited as athlete ambassadors by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton , to attend a dinner in honor of Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda on May 1 , 2012 , in Washington , D.C. When the coaching partnership of Igor Shpilband and Marina Zoueva came to an end in June 2012 , the Shibutanis - along with Davis and White , and Virtue and Moir - chose to continue their training at the Arctic Edge Arena under the primary direction of Marina Zoueva . 2012 -- 2013 season ( edit ) The Shibutanis placed third in the short dance at the 2012 Rostelecom Cup . They paused their free dance for half a minute due to Alex pulling a muscle in his thigh . They were allowed to continue from the point of interruption and finished 4th overall , their first and thus far only time over 10 consecutive seasons and 20 Grand Prix events , that they did not finish on the podium at a junior or senior Grand Prix event .

They then went on to compete at the 2015 Four Continents Championships where they finished second in the short dance and third place overall .

On the Grand Prix circuit , both of their programs - a short dance to the music of Coppelia , and their free dance program to the music of Fix You by Coldplay - earned them standing ovations . They won silver at 2015 Skate Canada International and gold at the 2015 NHK Trophy , for their second career Grand Prix event title . They qualified for the 2015 -- 16 Grand Prix Final as the fourth ranked team based on qualification criteria that had been modified in an attempt to account for the partially cancelled Trophee Bompard event . Their combined short dance and free dance score from NHK Trophy of 174.43 points was the highest total score amongst all competitors during the Grand Prix season . At the Grand Prix Final event , they placed 4th in the short dance . The night before the free dance , however , Alex became severely ill with food poisoning . They chose to compete nonetheless , and managed to earn yet another standing ovation for their free dance with a highly emotional performance . They finished 4th in the free dance and 4th overall . They had to withdraw from the exhibition so that Alex could recover . At the 2016 U.S. Championships , the Shibutanis placed second behind Madison Chock and Evan Bates during the short dance , but moved up to first place following the free dance to win their first senior US title.

The Shibutanis next competed at the 2016 Four Continents Championships in Taipei , Taiwan . They set personal bests and finished first in both segments of the competition , capturing their first ISU Championship title .

Their return to the World podium after a 5 year gap , is unprecedented in the sport . 2016 -- 2017 season ( edit ) The Shibutanis began the 2016 - 17 season with a gold medal at the Skate America Grand Prix in Chicago . They followed that with another victory at the Cup of China Grand Prix event held in Beijing , once again qualifying for the Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final . At the Grand Prix Final event in Marseille , France , the Shibutanis were ranked second after the short dance , placing behind Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir from Canada , and ahead of reigning World champions , Gabriella Papadakis and Guillaume Cizeron . A third place finishing the free dance portion of the competition placed them third place overall - the bronze medal being their first medal at a Grand Prix Final . At the 2017 U.S. Championships , the Shibutanis won their second consecutive national title , once again defeating Madison Chock and Evan Bates . Their short dance performance set a new U.S. scoring record . The siblings took silver at the 2017 Four Continents in Gangneung , South Korea , placing second in both segments of the competition to Canada 's Tessa Virtue and Scott Moir . The Shibutanis delivered a performance of their `` Evolution '' free dance which earned them their ISU best free dance score in spite of Alex needing to quickly repair damage to his blade which occurred during the on - ice warm - up period , just moments before they competed . At the 2017 World Championships in Helsinki , Finland , they ranked fifth in the short dance and fourth in the free dance , ending up third overall .

Indonesia AirAsia X and Thai AirAsia X are affiliated with AirAsia X . AirAsia X is the medium and long - haul operation of the brand AirAsia , which is Asia 's largest low - cost carrier .

Fernandes said he would be avoiding Sydney Airport due to its high fees . Instead the airline would concentrate on cheaper alternatives such as Melbourne 's Avalon Airport , Williamtown Airport in Newcastle , and Adelaide Airport . Sustained fares were predicted to be around MYR 800 ( A $ 285 ) for a return fare , plus taxes . Interest was also expressed in using Gold Coast Airport as another Australian destination . Several major developments were announced on 10 August 2007 . AirAsia X announced its first route from Kuala Lumpur to the Gold Coast . One way fares for this route have been touted to begin at MYR 50 ( A $17 ) excluding taxes and charges , with average return prices to be approximately MYR1 , 800 ( A $598 ) , inclusive of taxes and charges . An AirAsia X Airbus A330 - 300 wearing the old livery The airline also announced that Sir Richard Branson of the Virgin Group , will take a 20 % share in the airline to help kick - start its long haul operations and to finance its aircraft purchases . Branson also forecast a strong possibility of future , formal links between Virgin Blue and AirAsia X , including codeshare agreements and Loyalty programs . The first AirAsia X aircraft arrived at Kuala Lumpur International Airport on 15 September 2007 . It was named `` Semangat Sir Freddie '' ( English : `` Spirit of Sir Freddie '' ) after the pioneer and founder of the low cost model ; the late , Sir Freddie Laker of Skytrain . FlyAsianXpress ( edit ) FlyAsianXpress ( FAX ) was an airline based in Sarawak , Malaysia . It operated services on some of the smaller routes dropped by national carrier Malaysia Airlines . Its routes have since been taken over by MASwings . FAX was privately owned by Kamarudin Meranun , Raja Razali , Raja Azmi and Tony Fernandes . The airline was subcontracted by AirAsia to operate several domestic services following the withdrawal of Malaysia Airlines from rural air service routes within East Malaysia . Its maiden flight was on 1 August 2006 , despite being delayed for 50 minutes by bad weather . FAX was not a low cost carrier , but it incorporated some of AirAsia 's practices to reduce cost . Namely ; internet and phone bookings , as well as ticketless check - in systems . Within days of operation it was subject to a flood of criticisms from commuters , civil servants , and people working in the tourism industry . Critics argued that the new turboprop service provided by FAX should not be more expensive than the rural air service previously operated by Malaysia Airlines , as FAX was subsidised by the Malaysian Government . As well as cost , the airline was criticised for poor service , such as sudden flight cancellations without notice . The CEO of Sarawak Tourism Board also stated that disruptions to cargo supply flights to the interior , caused tourists to take their own food rations , rather than rely upon the air cargo supplies of food and fuel . FAX released a new flight timetable citing the sudden need for heavy maintenance on its Fokker 50 fleet as the trigger for severe disruption to its schedules . On 11 April 2007 , Tony Fernandes , CEO of the parent company of FAX ( AirAsia ) , publicised details of a handover offer of FAX 's rural routes , to Firefly , a subsidiary airline of Malaysia Airlines . He described it as `` the logical thing to do '' , as Firefly can be the only national company operating turboprop aircraft . On 26 April 2007 , the government announced Malaysia Airlines would take over the operation of rural air services from FAX , and gave assurance that any financial loss will be born by the government . Malaysia Airlines announced the take over of FAX destinations beginning on 1 October 2007 . Malaysia Airlines would operate these routes through a new subsidiary , MASwings . With FAX rural air services replaced by MASwings , the corporate name was changed from FlyAsianXpress Sdn . Bhd. to AirAsia X Sdn . Bhd . with this , the airlines focus switched to a new market , low cost , long haul flights . Corporate affairs ( edit ) KLIA LCCT , which housed the AirAsia X head office prior to the opening of RedQuarters The head office is located at the LCC Terminal at Kuala Lumpur International Airport in Sepang , Selangor , while the registered office is on Level 12 of the Menara Prima Tower B in Petaling Jaya , Selangor . The airline plans to move its head office to a new 613,383 square feet ( 56,985.1 m ) , RM140mil facility constructed at klia2 . Until the new head office opens , the airline 's head office will remain at LCCT . The new klia2 head office was scheduled to open in the end of 2015 . It is scheduled to hold about 2,000 AirAsia and AirAsia X employees . Aireen Omar , the AirAsia Country CEO of Malaysia , stated that the headquarters needed to be redesigned because in the klia2 plans the location of the control tower had been changed . Construction on the facility was scheduled to begin in July 2014 . Malaysia Airports Holdings is leasing the land that will be occupied by the headquarters . Filipina AirAsia X flight attendant January Ann Baysa gave the building the name `` RedQuarters '' or `` RedQ '' , and its groundbreaking ceremony was held in November 2014 . AirAsia X claims to have one of the lowest operating costs of any long - haul airline around the world , with a Cost per Available Seat - Kilometre ( CASK ) of US $0.0351 in 2015 , or US $0.0240 excluding fuel costs ( allowing them to undercut conventional long - haul fares by between 30 - 50 % ) . To reduce costs , they also co-ordinate many aspects of their operation together with larger affiliate AirAsia ( Asia 's largest low - cost carrier ) , such as staff requirements , fuel hedging , marketing and computer systems , which allows them to take advantage of economies of scale that would not be normally available to an airline of their size . Shareholders ( edit ) The entrance of two new major investors has given the company financial aid for future expansion plans . As of 14 February 2008 , 48 % of AirAsia X is owned by Aero Ventures ; a venture of Tony Fernandes and other prominent Malaysians , as well as Air Canada 's Robert Milton . Virgin Group own 16 % and a further 16 % is owned by AirAsia . Bahrain - based Manara Consortium , and Japan - based Orix Corp have taken a 20 % stake in AirAsia X for RM250 million . AirAsia X was listed on the Bursa Malaysia ( the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange ) on 10 July 2013 , with the shares offered to individual and institutional investors at MYR1. 25 ( approx . US $0.39 ) per share . The float raised MYR988 million ( US $310 million , as of 2013 exchange rates ) and valued the company at MYR3 billion ( US $940 million ) . Shares initially performed poorly , closing unchanged on the first day of trading to post , according to Bloomberg , the `` second - worst trading debut in Malaysia '' that year . As of 10 October 2016 , shares of AirAsia X Berhad were trading at MYR0. 39 , giving the company a market value of MYR1. 62 billion ( US $390 million at 2016 exchange rates ) . According to the Financial Times , as of June 2015 , the largest shareholder of AirAsia X Berhad was Tune Group ( a private investment vehicle owned by Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun ) , which owns a 17.8 % stake . AirAsia Berhad ( which Tune owns 19.1 % of ) holds a further 13.8 % of AirAsia X while Tony Fernandes and Kamarudin Meranun also hold personal stakes , of 2.1 % and 8.1 % respectively . Lim Kiann Onn , a founding director and shareholder of other Tune Group businesses such as Tune Money and Tune Hotels , is the 4th largest shareholder , with 4.47 % of the company .

We are 100 % sure that the A330neo will be quite unbeatable in its size category and we look forward to enabling more people to fly further more often aboard this great aircraft , '' said Tan Sri Tony Fernandes , Co-Founder and Director of AirAsia X .

The Trashmen had not heard this version but saw a band called The Sorensen Brothers playing it . They decided to play the song that night at their own gig . During this first performance , drummer and vocalist Steve Wahrer stopped playing and ad - libbed the `` Surfin ' Bird '' middle section . Despite not knowing `` The Bird 's the Word '' was a Rivingtons song , the similarity to `` Papa - Oom - Mow - Mow '' was obvious and The Trashmen added the chorus to the end of their new track . A local disc jockey , Bill Diehl , was at the gig and convinced the band to record the track . It was recorded at Kay Bank Studios in Minneapolis . Diehl entered it into a local battle of the bands competition and it won . It was then sent to a battle of the bands competition in Chicago where it also won . This led to the group being signed to Garrett Records with the single being quickly released . It reportedly sold 30,000 copies in its first weekend before going on to national success , reaching No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 . Wahrer was originally credited as the song 's writer , but that was changed to the Rivingtons ( Al Frazier , Carl White , Sonny Harris , and Turner Wilson Jr . ) after the group successfully sued the Trashmen for plagiarism .

Major League baseball ( edit ) The Trashmen 's tune was frequently played on Detroit radio and TV stations over the summer of 1976 during segments featuring the Tigers ' 21 - year old rookie sensation Mark Fidrych . Fidrych was nicknamed `` The Bird '' because of his supposed resemblance to Sesame Street 's Big Bird character , and because of his cartoonish antics on the mound , which included talking to the ball between pitches . Fidrych was named American League Rookie of the Year in 1976 , and finished second in the voting for the American League Cy Young Award . Subway ( edit ) The Ramones cover was used in a Fall 2017 television commercial for the Subway sandwich chain . Ferdinand ( film ) ( edit ) Prior to Ferdinand 's release in December 2017 , a television commercial featured a cover by an unknown artist having the Ferdinand 's nickname `` Ferd '' instead of bird .
