History
Kunzite converts the athlete into the monster Blizzar and sets her to work uncovering the Moon Princess. Using her fame, she stages a Moon Princess skiing tournament as a lure, and her suspicion falls on Rei Hino, whose regal looks fit the part. The plot ends when Sailor Moon's Moon Healing Escalation purges the youma and returns Saeko to normal. The English DiC version rewrote her as Stormy Kincade and claimed she had taken the previous year's title, though the original had her winning the very first of these contests, roughly three tournaments earlier.
