ASADA’S WINNING WAYS

Winning is what Asada has always been about. Since she began competing in the junior ranks, she has been a force to contend with on the international circuit.

The 2007 World Championships in her Japanese homeland, where Asada placed second, were a revelation for the bubbly teenager. “It was the first time I realized I could become the World champion,” she said. “Last year, when I came in second at Worlds I realized that I wanted to be first.”

And so it was that Asada headed into the 2008 World Championships in Sweden with one goal in mind. “This year I wanted to win but I did not know if I could or not,” she said.

But her golden dream had a couple of minor hiccups. In second place after the short, Asada lost control on the opening triple Axel at the very beginning of her free skate. After careening across the ice into the boards she said she believed she had no chance of winning the gold medal.

“I thought I could do the jump but I think I lost my edge. I was just surprised, not afraid after the fall,” Asada said. “I just thought I missed the gold medal. So after I checked my body I just concentrated on my program.”

Asada was down but not out. She attacked the remainder of her program with an abandon that had the crowd roaring long before the last note of her music died. “I was determined to be perfect even without the Axel,” the 17-year-old stated with quiet confidence.

Sitting in the kiss and cry waiting for her marks, Asada said she had no idea where she had placed. “When the marks came up, I saw I was in second place in the free skate so I thought I was going to be second,” she said. “But then the final results came up and I saw I was in first. I was like, ‘Wow!’ After the fall it was a big surprise to win.”

Buttle, a former training mate of Asada, said he was not surprised. “Honestly, when she took the fall on the Axel I was shocked,” he said. “That is a freak thing — it does not really happen to her. But she got up and kept going and I thought, ‘She is going to do it.’ If there is anyone who is mentally strong, it is Mao.”

REWIND

She could easily have become a ballerina after her mother enrolled her in classes at age 3. But that was not the stage Asada was destined to shine on.

A couple of years later when her older sister Mai enrolled in skating classes, Mao tagged along. As the younger sibling, she did everything her sister did.

The two-time Japanese champion said she loved skating from the very beginning. Identified as a talent while still a child, Asada started taking lessons from famed Japanese coach Machiko Yamada.

The charming young woman does not remember the first event she ever won but recalled that she placed eighth at her first competition.

As Asada rose through the junior ranks her talent and technical ability were recognized internationally. At age 12 she executed the first triple-triple-triple combination (triple flip-triple loop-triple toe loop) in competition.

The Nagoya native made history when she landed two triple Axels during the free skate at her national championships in 2005 and again at the World Junior Championships in 2006 when she landed a triple Axel in the short program.

A NEW START

Asada went to 2008 Worlds without a coach after splitting with U.S. coach Rafael Arutunian, with whom she had worked for two years.

“I really liked training in America,” Asada said, smiling brightly. “Two years ago when I went to Los Angeles there were no ice rinks in Nagoya and I had to always take private ice. That is why I went to the U.S. in the first place. But last year a new ice rink opened near my home, so now I don’t need to train outside of Japan.”

Buttle, who trained alongside Asada on and off for two years, said she was an inspiration to him. “She works really hard and she is so consistent,” he said. “Our training approaches are so different. She would be on the ice for maybe six hours sometimes versus my three. So I started to increase my hours on the ice. It was so good for me.”

There is another reason Asada is happy to be residing in Japan once again. Her 3-year-old toy poodle Aero gave birth to two female puppies, which Asada named Tiara and Komachi, last December.

While competing at the Grand Prix Final, Asada received a call from her mother telling her that Aero was about to give birth. “Before the free program Aero was trying to have her babies and so I said I will also have to do my best,” she said with laughter. “I am so happy that I can be relaxed at home with my puppies now.”

Too young to compete at the 2006 Olympic Winter Games, Asada is looking to make her mark in 2010. “I don’t know if it is possible but I want to be the Olympic champion,” Asada shyly admitted. “I am not sure, but maybe I will continue on to 2014. I want to compete as long as I can. I just love to skate.”

Asada Assumes Azimuth
Mao Asada
June 7, 2008
Article and Photo by Barry Mittan

Mao Asada performs to Chopin's So Deep is the Night
Japan's Mao Asada won her first gold medal at the World Figure Skating Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden in March. The event proved to be redemption for the teenager who had been edged off of the top of the podium the preceding year by teammate Miki Ando, forcing Asada to settle for the silver.

"Last year I made big mistakes in the short program," Asada noted. "I learned not to make big mistakes in the short. I also learned to keep going even after I made mistakes."

At this year's Worlds, Asada needed some points fast after the short program. She lost about ten points when she slipped off her plant foot as she went into her opening triple Axel and slid into the boards. It took her a few more seconds to re-orient herself before sailing through the rest of her program to score 121.46 points. Although she finished second in both the short and the long, she was able to outpoint Italy's Carolina Kostner 185.56 to 184.68.

But both totals were well off her personal bests. Asada has scored as high as 199.52 at the NHK Trophy in 2006, the world record for highest combined score under the ISU Judging System. At the 2007 Worlds, she broke the world record for the highest free skate score with 133.13 points.

Asada has been the darling of the skating world since she won the World Junior Figure Skating Championships in 2005, then finished second to Yu-Na Kim in 2006. She made her senior debut in the 2005-06 season, winning the 2006 ISU Grand Prix Final, then finishing second at the 2007 World Figure Skating Championships, both in Japan.

This season, Asada took the silver at the 2007-08 Grand Prix Final after winning gold at Skate Canada and Trophée Eric Bompard. Two months later she took gold in her debut at the Four Continents Championships in Goyang, South Korea.

"I landed the triple-triple combination and I was so happy about it because I made the same mistakes all year on the combination in competition," Asada said of her short program. "I was very happy about how I skated in the long program. I'm especially pleased that I landed the triple Axel."

In her latest competition, Asada led Team Japan to a victory at the Japan Open In Tokyo in late April. Asada used her long program to Fantasie Impromptu and scored higher than both Takeshi Honda and Daisuke Takahashi in the event. To date, the two-time defending Japanese senior ladies champion has never finished lower than third at an ISU event.

For the 2007-08 season, Asada used a triple flip-triple loop combination in the short, along with a triple Lutz and double Axel. She opened her long program with a triple Axel, then added two triple-triple combinations - a triple flip-triple toe and a triple flip-triple loop. She also included a double Axel-double loop-double loop combination and two solo triples - the loop and the Lutz - before ending with a double Axel.

"Last year I concentrated on training for steps," stated Asada. "Now I'm trying to get more points from my spiral and things other than jumps. Maybe in the summer I will work on the quadruple toe loop or quadruple loop. I tried them in practice before but haven't landed a clean one."

Asada also wants to have a triple Axel combination. "I don't know yet if I'll do two triple Axels in competition again," she said. "My goal is perfection." Asada did not use the triple Salchow in either program in 2007-08, even though it was the first triple she landed when she was eight or nine. She's also landed a quadruple salchow in practice.
"When we calculated the levels and points, my best program was without the triple Salchow," Asada explained. "I have no problem with landing it clean, but I don't really like it. I like the triple Axel the best. I used to practice Axels when I was very little so the Axel is natural for me."

Asada first landed the triple Axel when she was only 13, and proceeded to set several records with the jump. She was the first lady to land a triple Axel in a major ISU Junior competition (2005 ISU Junior Grand Prix Final), the first to land two triple Axels during a free skate program (2005 Japanese Nationals), and the first to land a triple Axel in the short program at an ISU championship (2006 Worlds).

The 17-year-old has been landing triple Axels and triple-triple combinations in novice and junior competition since 2001. When she was eleven, Asada became the first skater to land a triple-triple-triple (triple flip-triple loop-triple toe loop) in competition.

Asada started skating when she was five, following in the footsteps of her older sister, Mai - also a senior international competitor. Both sisters had started out in ballet, with Mao beginning her training at the age of three and continuing formal lessons until she was nine.

"Mai and I were taking ballet and my mother thought she needed stronger ankles, so she took her to the skating rink that was only ten minutes from our house," Asada explained. "I happened to be with her so I took lessons too."

Machiko Yamada, who trained the first Japanese world champion, Midori Ito, initially developed Asada's skills, but when she turned senior, Asada began training with Rafael Arutunian at Lake Arrowhead in California in the summer of 2006. In January 2008, she decided to return to Japan to work with coaches from the Japanese Skating Federation. "I wanted to stay in Japan with my family, eat Japanese food and play with my puppy," said Asada. "I didn't care that my coach was not there."

Asada now trains at the university ice rink in Nagoya for four hours a day, five days a week. She also continues with ballet in her hour and a half daily off-ice training sessions.

"I have plenty of time on the ice at the new rink," said Asada. "Before, I had to travel to three rinks and skate at midnight or one o'clock in the morning because it was so hard to get private ice in Japan. I know what I need to do in training and I do it. I may have a new coach this summer."

One of the coaches that she is considering is Tatiana Tarasova, who coached Japan's only Olympic gold medallist in figure skating, Shizuka Arakawa, in 2006. But since Tarasova is caring for her ailing mother in Russia, the logistics of such a pairing are difficult.

Asada came to know and trust Tarasova when she choreographed Asada's 2007-08 short program, using Fantasia for Violin and Orchestra by Jean-Claude Petit. Lori Nichol choreographed her long program to Fantasie Impromptu by Frederic Chopin. Asada also used Chopin's So Deep is the Night for her gala program.

Just as in 2007-08, Asada will have two new programs for the coming season. She has travelled to Russia to work with Tarasova on her new long program, after which she will go to Canada to work with Nichol on her new short.

Asada has one more year of high school left before she can graduate - another reason she wants to train in Japan. "I had a lot of homework when I was in Lake Arrowhead," she said, "but it was hard to keep up with my schoolwork."

Her favorite subjects are art and gymnastics. "I like drawing landscapes," Asada added. Other than ballet, her off ice pursuits include hanging out with her friends, listening to pop music, collecting skating pins, doing jigsaw puzzles and reading fantasy novels. Asada's favorite pastime is playing with her toy poodle, Aero, named after a chocolate bar and her two puppies, Tiara and Komachi. Aero was even featured as a skating dog in a Japanese commercial that Asada made for the chocolate company after it found out that she was a fan of their products. She has also done commercials for Olympus cameras.

Mao and her sister Mai have also been named as goodwill ambassadors between Japan and Canada and have traveled to Canada in that role. Her years in California have improved Asada's English, but she still listed proficiency in the language as one of her personal goals.

Asada is also hoping to return to Canada in 2010 when the Winter Olympic Games are held in Victoria, British Columbia. Although she will be among the favorites for those games, she also noted that she was already feeling old at 17 and would face stiff competition from youngsters such as Caroline Zhang and Mirai Nagasu.

Multam Ade pt articol!
mi-ar placea sa mai lucreze cu Tarasova, ar face o treaba buna si merita efortul mobilizarii dintr-un loc in altul...

[mikeyy]

Nu cred ca va reusi 2 de 3A intr-un program..e prea mult totusi si risca sa se accidenteze sau sa se supra-solicite. Mai bine lucreaza sa-si perfectioneze elementele ce le are acum. Asa cum spune si ea in articol: la spirale si piruete. In plus Mao Asada e cunoscuta pt faptul ca triseaza la triplu Lutz..poate ar trebui sa lucreze si la acest element.
Mao are tot ceea ce ii trebuie pt a fi o mare campioana...trebuie doar sa gaseasca antrenorul care sa puna cap la cap totul, iar Tarasova poate fi acea persoana....vom vedea:D

Asada to train with Tarasova
Skater will make short trips to Moscow to work with legendary coach


(06/24/2008) - World champion Mao Asada announced Tuesday that she will switch her coaching affiliation to Russian Tatiana Tarasova, beginning immediately.

Asada left coach Rafael Arutunian shortly before the 2008 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in March. Reportedly, Tarasova has been lending Asada some coaching help since then, and Asada has decided to train with her full time. "She will design a program just for me. That means a lot. She tailored a new program just for me with next season in mind. She has a lot of power," Asada said during a press conference in Japan.

Tarasova's former students include 2006 Olympic gold medalist Shizuka Arakawa, 2006 Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen , two-time Olympic medalist Michelle Kwan and three-time U.S. champion Johnny Weir. Currently, she has been working with reigning U.S. national champion Evan Lysacek.

Asada, 17, hopes that Tarasova can help her achieve a place on the podium at the 2010 Olympic Games. She was ineligible to compete at the last Olympics, due to her age. The Associated Foreign Press reports that Asada will be based out of Chukyo University in Aichi prefecture but travel to Moscow to work with Tarasova.

[rocs_a]

Multumim Flavia!
Important de stiut ca va lucra FULL TIME cu Tarasova...chestia asta promite multe (medalii) :D

Triple axels not enough for Mao on difficult night
Compiled from Kyodo, AP
VANCOUVER, British Columbia — Mao Asada could not raise the bar in the free skate against world champion Kim Yu Na on Thursday night, settling for the silver medal against her chief rival at the Vancouver Olympics.



Silver medalist: Mao Asada waves to the crowd after receiving her medal for finishing second in the women's figure skating competition at the Vancouver Olympics on Thursday. KYODO PHOTO


Mao, who tallied 205.50 points, was more than 23 points behind Kim, and failed to follow in the footsteps of Shizuka Arakawa, who won the gold at the Turin Games.

"It was over in the blink of an eye. I am glad that I was able to land two triple axels but I had mistakes in other areas. So I am not satisfied with that part. I am not at all satisfied with my performance," Mao said.

American Mirai Nagasu (190.15), whose parents are both Japanese, finished fourth while Miki Ando (188.86), the 2007 world champion, placed fifth. Akiko Suzuki (181.44) was eighth.

"I completed my program without any major mistakes. I felt a lot of appreciation toward everyone. Four years ago, I was a wreck and ended self-content. I think I have grown," Ando said.

Trying to drown out the deafening roar of the crowd with headphones before taking to the ice after Kim's stellar performance, 19-year-old Mao landed both triple axels cleanly, only to under-rotate a triple flip and stumbled before stepping into her triple toe loop.

Finishing up her routine to Sergei Rachmaninoff's "Bells of Moscow," Mao was inconsolable as she broke down into tears in the interview area.

"I am disappointed but this was the best I could do today," she said.

Ma bucur ca mai exista inca patinatori care sa stabileasca recorduri, specie din ce in ce mai rara in ziua de astazi. Chiar de dimineata citeam pe forumul ISU postul unuia, nici macar nu am gasit cuvintele potrivite sa il descriu, care intreba daca Patrick Chan poate sa castige doar cu sarituri duble fiindca datorita coregrafiei, pasilor si tranzitiilor complexe triplele nu ii prea ies. :headbang:

[ice_girl]

Chan poate sa castige si daca sare doar sarituri simple pt ca reprezinta Canada si asta spune tot daca ar fi reprezentat Rusia, Franta, etc sau orice alta tara din Europa sigur n-ar fi in primii 5-7 patinatori ai lumii.
Scuze pt off-topicul de pe threadul lui Mao dar cand vine vorba de Chan nu prea ma pot abtine sa nu scriu ceea ce gandesc.

mie nu, pentru ca sportivii carora le este realizata coregrafia de respectivii coregrafi-antrenori sunt clar favorizati de catre arbitrii.
Scuze de off-topic pe threadul lui mao/

[SimonaB]

Pai si cum ii pot instrui in mod obiectiv ????? Nu le transmit propriile gusturi si viziuni despre cum trebuie sa arate un program? Pana la urma patinajul e si arta iar arta e mereu subiectiva.

[andreeas]

atunci cine sa o faca?
cineva care nu are nici o legatura cu patinajul!:shocked:
in mod sigur Lori Nichol le explica regulementul si nu proprile ei gusturi.:D

As vrea si eu sa fiu colega de antrenamente cu Taka-chan!:P;)

Yuka Sato mi se pare o alegere extrem de buna, e o antrenoare buna, ma bucur pt Mao:ok::), sper sa-si imbunatatesca sariturile si sa castige din nou CM:yeah:.
Referitor la tango si eu m-am cam saturat de el :yes:dar pt Mao e o alegere f potrivita, ea interpreteaza si simte f bine aceasta muzica:)

Mao intre nationale si cele 4 continente a facut cateva modificari la coregrafia programului liber, am gasit un link care compara cele 2 variante ale programului(nationale si cele 4 continente):
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4QvfUtD-cE

Programul din stanga sus este cel patinat la cele 4 continente(varianta pe care o vom vedea si la mondiale). Cred ca modificarile accentueaza mai mult nuantele muzicii, dar preferam secventa de spirale din programul vechi(mergea perfect cu muzica!); in programul nou, desi este interesat sa vezi un program care se termina cu o spirala si nu o pirueta, parca lui Mao i-a lipsit viteza, in ciuda pozitiei superbe pe care o are. Mi-a placut insa mai mult secventa de pasi scurtata, merge mai bine cu muzica si o ajuta sa isi pastreze o viteza mai buna. Per total cred ca prefer programul modificat si abia astept sa o vad la mondiale :)

Am revazut azi programul de la nationale din 2002 al lui Mao, avea 12 ani tocmai impliniti. Este absolut adorabila, asa mica, si in ciuda mutritei nevinovate a incercat un program cu 8 triple si o combinatie 3F-3L-3T! Iar la final apare si Kanako Murakami cateva secunde(avea in jur de 8 ani atunci, si ea e mortala):

O fetita scumpa foc si plina de exuberanta si se pare ca din copilarie ii placea culoarea lila.:D

Doua probleme care au persistat la Mao pe parcursul anilor au fost subrotirea unor sarituri - triplu axel de exemplu - si gresirea muchiei la sariturile flip si lutz. In videoclip, a gresit muchia la flip, la 4CC de anul asta a gresit-o la lutz si a luat un wrong edge. Nu spun ca i se intampla intotdeauna, dar trebuie sa fie atenta pentru ca pierde puncte.

[Miruna1990]

Stiu, chiar ma gandeam ca inca din 2002 avea probleme cu 3S(o saritura care tare nu ii place, a si declarat asta), probleme cu muchia la 3Lz si asa mai departe. La 12 ani, 3A, chiar cu lipsa de rotatie si tot este fabulos!! Chiar imi pare rau ca nu a avut un antrenor care sa o ajute sa isi corecteze greselile de atunci si trebuie sa o vedem la 19, 20 de ani cu atatea probleme la sarituri. Cu siguranta putea concura cu Yuna altfel in 2010 daca isi corecta din timp problemele. Dar asta e :) are tot timpul acum pana in 2014 :D Oricum atata talent la 12 ani nici la patinatoarele - senzatie din Rusia nu am vazut!

[SimonaB]

Wow!!!! :o: Ce talentata era Mao la 12 ani!!!! Vad ca ii place mult lila-ul si ma bucur pentru ca si mie imi place!!! Ii tin pumnii la Mondiale cu siguranta ne va surprinde in mod placut!!!!

Si Arakawa a avut probleme cu muchiile, iar pe Miki parca n-am mai vazut-o executand flipul, prefera sa includa doua lutzuri in program decat sa faca un flip, poate fiindca nu nimereste muchia. LOL Dar greselile de muchie nu par sa fie problema unei anumite scoli de patinaj pentru ca Sasha Cohen era o campioana a muchiilor gresite, Rachael Flatt greseste si ea, iar Yu-Na in trecut o zbarcea la lutz daca nu ma insel, era mereu depunctata, fanii ei tipau ca de fapt saritura ei era perfecta, dar ca Federatia japoneza ii platea pe arbitri ca s-o depuncteze etc, lol, oricum stiu ca Orser a lucrat intens pentru ca lutzul ei sa fie clar pentru toata lumea si a reusit.

Ca sa ne amuzam, patinatori cu greseala de muchie la ultimul Campionat European: Joubert, Amodio, Preaubert - pana aici ai zice ca e o chestie frantuzeasca, dar au mai gresit si Verner si germanul Peter Liebers si Sarah Meier si Alena Leonova.:groggy:

Oricum, subrotatia este marea problema fiindca saritura ti se retrogradeaza si mai pierzi puncte si la calitatea executiei. La unele dintre sariturile ei, punctul de aterizare se afla la foarte mica distanta fata de puctul de desprindere si asta face saritura sa arate inghesuit, inaltimea este buna, dar nu si lungimea in aer, poate ca asta o impiedica sa-si faca rotatia complet. Sub aspectul calitatii sariturilor, a pierdut puncte serioase la Olimpiada nu doar in fata lui Kim, dar si a lui Rochette, viteza la intrare, lungime, viteza la iesire.

Sper din toata inima ca va avea puterea si ambitia sa se corecteze. Hai Mao!!!/hello

[Miruna1990]

Yu na a avut probleme cu 3F, unde muchia trebuie sa fie interioara,la ea era mai mult plata(oricum, 3F al ei a fost cam la limita, primea cateodata "!", rar insa "e". "!" a fost eliminat incepand cu acest sezon). Din acest motiv a preferat sa schimbe combinatia 3F-3T cu 3Lz-3T, 3Lz al ei fiind extraordinar!
Mao a reusit in sezonul 2008-2009, cand a lucrat cu Tatiana Tarasova, sa isi corecteze muchia la 3Lz(la ea a fost mai greu, pentru ca greseala pe care o facea la desprindere era destul de accentuata, spre deosebire de Yu na la 3F. Cred ca a fost vina antrenoarei intrucat si Kanako Murakami, care are aceeasi antrenoare pe care o avea Mao cand era mai mica, are un 3Flutz la fel de problematic). Chiar la finala de GP din 2008 Mao a primit GOE pozitiv pt 3Lz la programul scurt. Dar din motive necunoscute, a renuntat complet la aceasta saritura sezonul trecut, iar incepand cu acest sezon, problema a reaparut. Am inteles ca in antrenamente executa corect 1Lz si 2Lz, dar cand incearca 3Lz schimba muchia in ultimul moment pe interior. Va reusi, sunt convinsa, imi pare foarte rau insa ca a trebuit sa o ia de la capat. Eu chiar vad imbunatatiri la tehnica ei de sarituri, mai ales la 3A(cel de la cele 4 continente a fost absolut superb) si la 3F( inainte parca se apleca foarte mult la de desprindere, tehnica ei se asemana putin cu tehnica lui Caroline Zhang, denumita peiorativ "hammer toe". Acum nu mi se pare ca se apleaca la fel de mult, cel putin nu intotdeauna.) Se vede ca inca e o perioada de tranzitie.

Stiu ca multi patinatori au probleme cu muchia, e oarecum nedrept pentru ei ca sunt penalizati acum, si nu au fost penalizati la timpul lor, dar asta e. Nici arbitrii nu sunt constanti cu aceste "e", cel mai bun exemplu fiind Adelina Sotnikova, care ba primeste "e" ba nu(ba chiar o data a primit "e" pentru 3Lz de la programul scurt insa la programul lung nu a mai primit) Si o muchie la o saritura tripla nu o poti schimba in 2-3 saptamani, astfel de schimbari se fac vara, in afara sezonului. La fel si Christina Gao, ba primeste "e", ba nu primeste. Cred ca mai tare le deruteaza, ce sens are sa incerci sa iei de la capat o saritura, sa inveti sa o executi 100% corect, daca nu esti penalizat pentru ea?

[Cromatic]

Yu na a avut probleme cu 3F

Cred ca ai o memorie mai buna decat a mea.:yes: Si in general e remarcabil ca urmaresti patinajul cu atata atentie la detalii, ca un adevarat profesionist, ar trebuie sa te faci arbitru.:D

Eu am fost doar partial o sustinatoare a colaborarii dintre Mao si Tarasova. Una este sa preiei un elev cu o tehnica foarte buna a sariturilor, pe care sa-l slefuiesti si caruia sa-i dai clasa si stil si sa-l inveti artisticul - lucruri la care Tarasova se pricepe foarte bine - si alta e ca elevul respectiv sa aiba o tehnica deficitara, in acest ultim caz cred ca trebuie sa lucrezi cu el in fiecare sau aproape in fiecare zi, fie iarna fie vara, si nu mi s-a parut ca s-a intamplat asa, uneori - cunoscand proiectele Tarasovei in Rusia si problemele ei de familie - am avut impresia ca a fost o colaborare mai degraba prin corespondenta decat la fata locului.

M-am bucurat cand am auzit ca Mao a trecut la Nobuo Sato. N-o fi el un antrenor al artisticului, dar Mao are nevoie de un antrenor care sa-i corecteze tehnica fiind langa ea in permanenta. Parerea mea.

[Miruna1990]

Mersi :D Sunt de acord ca Nobu Sato a fost o idee foarte buna pentru Mao. Il apreciez ca a luat o asemenea respobsabilitate pe umeri, sa pregateasca unul dintre ci mai iubiti atleti din Japonia, cu toate problemele cu care Mao a venit la pachet :D. Cu siguranta va face treaba foarte buna si mai departe.Tarasova era de asemenea capabila sa ii corecteze sariturile, dar nu cred ca timpul si sanatatea ii mai permiteau sa fie atat de dedicata. In plus, in ceea ce piveste coregrafia programelor lui Mao facute de Tarasova....au fost destule rateuri. Ciudat cum programele de gala pe care i le face sunt asa frumoase, iar cele din competitii(unele) sunt cam fade, nepotrivite pentru Mao. Mi-ar placea sa o vad pe Mao incercand si alti coregrafi in afara de Lori Nichol si Tarasova;:)

[Cromatic]

Mi-ar placea sa o vad pe Mao incercand si alti coregrafi in afara de Lori Nichol si Tarasova;:)

Eu nu as sfatui-o sa treaca la alti coregrafi deocamdata. Trebuie sa-si recastige increderea in ea si cred ca pentru asta are nevoie de stabilitate, adica sa-si pastreze neschimbata echipa cu care lucreaza. Plus ca Lori are doua insusiri extrem de importante: meticulozitatea in coregrafie astfel incat sa raspunda cerintelor sistemului de notare si renumele, iar renumele conteaza enorm.

Dar te-ai gandit la cineva anume?

Uite-o pe predecesoarea japoneza a lui Mao in materie de triplu axel.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZzAC5eHTTs&feature=related

Midori ar putea sa concureze cu baietii la acesta saritura, este super atletica.

[Miruna1990]

Imi plac foarte mult programele pe care i le-a compus Lori, i se potrivesc ca o manusa lui Mao, dar mi-ar placea, mai incolo nu neapara acum, sa incerce si altceva, spre exemplu Shae-Lynn Bourne(cea care i-a facut programul scurt al lui Jeremy Abbot de anul trecut, mie mi-a placut foarte mult), Yuka Sato(nu ar fi complicat, avand in vedere ca tatal ei o antreneaza pe Mao :D), Pasquale Camerlengo(mi-a placut mult programul pe care i l-a facut anul trecut lui Daisuke), David Wilson(desi slabe sanse avand in vedere ca el lucreaza cu Yuna Kim). Am un mare respect pentru Tarasova pentru sirul de medalii olimpice pe care elevii ei le-au obtinut, dar cred ca din punct de vedere coregrafic cu Mao a cam ratat. Am apreciat faptul ca Mao a incercat sa iasa din zona ei comfortabila si sa incerce ceva nou, a intrepretat cat a putut de bine, mai ales la olimpiada, cele 2 programe ale Tarasovei, numai ca nu a fost suficient. Mi-ar placea ca sezonul viitor sa ramana cu Lori pentru programul lung dar sa incerce ceva nou la scurt :)

Referitor la Midori Ito nu pot spune decat Uau! Nimeni nu a atins-o(la fete) si nu cred ca o va atinge cineva in materie de sarituri. Cel mai tare m-a impresionat taria ei la olimpiada din 1992, cand toata saptamana de dinaintea concursului nu a reusit sa aterizeze un singur 3A, l-a ratat si in programul liber, dar spre finalul programului l-a mai incercat o data si l-a reusit perfect. Stiu ca au mai fost fete care au aterizat 3A in concurs, mi-o amintesc pe Tonya Harding si mai recent, Yukari Nakano. Dar numai Midori si Mao au stapanit cu adevarat saritura, in sensul ca nu au reusit-o o data, de 2 ori, ci au facut-o constant.

Mie nu imi plac coregrafiile lui Lori Nichol dar programele facute pentru Mao sunt foarte bune si sper ca Mao sa ramana la ea. O pun in valoare excelent. :yes:
In ceea ce o priveste pe Midori Ito, atunci cand Kurt Browning a fost intrebat cine este cel mai bun saritor din istorie a raspuns fara ezitare ca e Midori si eu sunt de acord cu el.:yes: Pacat ca pe vremea ei cvadrupla era abia la inceput, cred ca nu s-ar fi dat inapoi de la un program cu ceva cvadruple, daca ar fi patinat in vremurile noastre.
Dar si Mao se ia la intrecere cu baietii:yes:;):

Mi-ar placea ca sezonul viitor sa ramana cu Lori pentru programul lung dar sa incerce ceva nou la scurt :)

Poate ca acest sezon a fost pentru Mao un sezon de tranzitie in care a dorit sa pastreze totusi ceva din trecut, iar anul viitor va apela ori la Nichol ori la altcineva decat Tarasova pentru programul scurt.

Si eu o respect si o admir foarte mult pe Tarasova, dar nu sunt admiratoarea ei neconditionata, adica nu pornesc de la ideea preconceputa ca daca ea se afla in spatele unui program, programul respectiv este neaparat foarte bun si atunci nici nu mai stau sa ma intreb daca-mi place sau nu. Iar cu Mao sunt de acord ca nu intotdeauna a fost inspirata. Dar nu coregrafiile in sine m-au nemultumit, ci faptul ca au fost nepotrivite pentru Mao. De exemplu Caprices are cea mai sofisticata coregrafie pe care a facut-o Mao vreodata dupa parerea mea, insa sub aspectul interpretarii, personajul a cam depasit-o, iar unele parti ale muzicii pur si simplu mi-au zgariat urechile. La fel programul liber de anul trecut, zau ca nu am gasit nici un element comun intre Mao si Bells of Moscow. Asta nu inseamna ca nu poate interpreta muzica clasica, dar nu acel gen de muzica, foarte grea si foarte apasatoare care nu ii reflecta catusi de putin personalitatea. Da, sa o scoata din zona comoditatii stilistice, dar sa tina totusi cont de datele ei naturale fiindca nu cred ca exista vreun patinator care se simte comfortabil in exprimare indiferent de stil si muzica.

Totusi, Tarasova este autoarea programului meu favorit din repertoriul lui Mao.

Si cred ca seamana ca stil cu LP-ul pe care i l-a creat Lori, amandoua pun in evidenta calitati zic eu definitorii pentru patinajul lui Mao, plutirea si nobletea pe gheata.


In ceea ce o priveste pe Midori Ito, atunci cand Kurt Browning a fost intrebat cine este cel mai bun saritor din istorie a raspuns fara ezitare ca e Midori

Zau? Sunt surprinsa, cunoscand putin personalitatea lui Kurt, ma asteptam sa spuna ca cel mai bun saritor din istorie a fost chiar el.:))

Multumesc pt. videoclip, nu l-am mai vazut, frumoase 3A, fara discutie.

Un interviu recent cu Mao. Mi s-a parut tare simpatic :) Sper ca noul ei sezon va fi mai bun si ca Nobu Sato o va ajuta in continuare cu sariturile. Stiu ca a avut un sezon ratat, dar daca nu iau in calcul mondialele(amanarea cu o luna, plus dezastrul din tara ei si faptul ca nu a fost deloc motivata, ba chiar declara ca nu stie daca e moralmente ok sa se tina campionatul si-au pus amprenta asupra ei) a evoluat de la NHK trophy pana la cele 4 continente. Ma bucur ca lucreaza la toate sariturile, ca incearca 3S din nou, ca lucreaza la 3Lz(pe care il aterizeaza acum destul de constant, dar mai are de lucrat la acel "e"), ca si-a imbunatatit tehnica la 3F. Nu stiu ce ii rezerva viitorul, insa mie mi-e tare draga si cu Miki Ando care isi ia liber sezonul viitor :)), s-ar putea sa redevina la anul campioana Japoniei si, de ce nu, campioana mondiala din nou. Eu o sa ii raman fana pana se va retrage din competitii pentru ca nu am vazut nici un singur patinator atat de devotat si dornic sa evolueze.

Imi cer scuze daca videoclipul asta a mai fost postat pe undeva, dar eu acum l-am descoperit.

Desi o apreciez enorm pe Tarasova, nu o laud decat atunci cand consider ca merita si acum asa consider. Gala asta pe care i-a facut-o lui Mao este o dulceata. Cat stil in coregrafie si cata eleganta si distinctie are fata care patineaza.

a8DMWgb1zac&NR=1

E drept ca unele parti poate mai trebuiau repetate pentru prinderea tuturor nuantelor, dar in general, m-am indragostit.

[IleK]

La multi ani,Mao! Nu stiam ca si ea este tot Balanta:). Ca si Kiira. Si ca si mine:)
Foarte frumos programul. Nu l-am mai vazut pana acum. Tarasova e plina de surprize. Mie nu prea mi-au placut programele lui Mao facute de ea pt Olimpiada, pt ca le lipsea exact ce are acest program. Bucurie si finete in acelasi timp.

[Miruna1990]

Din cate am inteles acesta este noul ei program de gala. Programul "Venus" pe care l-a patinat tot la The Ice 2011 a fost folosit numai pe timpul verii, ca un omagiu adus victimelor dezastrului din primavara.(desi cred ca l-am mai postat, il mai pun o data: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1rMvNAj0RY). Ambele imi plac la nebunie dar ma bucur ca l-a pastrat pe cel cu Chopin, e mai simpatica Mao cand zambeste :) Cred ca de departe Mao este patinatoarea cu cele mai frumoase gale. An dupa an, nu dezamageste.

[Cromatic]

Cred ca in Venus, Mao patineaza pe piesa Sarei Brightman "Running". Am auzit muzica respectiva si in Opening-ul Actului 2 din spectacolul Yunei ALL That Skate Summer 2011, cand Yuna patineaza cu Patrick.

De unde se vede ca mintile mari gandesc la fel, ma refer la Tarasova - daca ea a coregrafiat Venus - si David Wilson.:D

[Miruna1990]

Venus e coregrafiat de Lori:) e unul dintre putinele programe reusite(recent vorbind) ale lui Lori, mi se pare ca si-a cam pierdut ca stralucire in ultima vreme. Cred ca ii lipseste inspiratia. Il prefer in prezent pe David Wilson in fata ei. Dar si-a spalat o parte din pacate cu programul lui Mao
Sarah Brightman a adaptat melodia cand a scos piesa Running. Cantecul pe care a patinat Mao se cheama "I Vow to Thee, My Country", este un cantec englez care la randul lui isi are tema muzicala adaptata din compozita muzicala The Planets( mai exact, din "Jupiter").
