Mao will study ballet in Russia
Mao won't reveal her music choices until the last minuteMao will study ballet in Russia
http://www.daily.co.jp/general/2009/...01841214.shtml
This article says Mao is going to go to to Russia to study ballet and polish her expression. Mao said, "Russia is the best place for ballet. I want to learn from Sensei [TAT, I think?] and also do ballet.
Mao won't reveal her music choices until the last minute
http://www.sponichi.co.jp/olympic/ne.../04/20/12.html
According to this article, Mao is not going to reveal her music choices until the last minute, so as to not give Team Yu-Na any hints about what she's doing. A different article said that it would be after the skating training camp in Japan at the end of the summer - so sometime in August?

Imi place echipa Japoniei..par a fi asa apropiati si chiar prieteni. Am mai vazut o emisiune cu cei care au participat la World Team Trophy si in interviul asta ...cred ca e foarte frumos

Mao faces early test against Kim in Grand Prix opener
http://search.japantimes.co.jp/cgi-b...0091014it.html
It could have been a case of nerves while testing out her new program at the start of the season, but it is pretty clear that she is going to have to get her act together quickly if she doesn't want to be humiliated by Kim in France.

nu inteleg ce s-a intamplat cu ea, de a ratat asa sariturile, TAT parea f nervoasa in timpul programului, sunt sigura ca la LP se va descurca mai bine
Adevaratul erou nu este perfect. Adevaratul test al unui campion nu este daca poate triumfa, ci daca poate trece obstacolele - preferabil cele create chiar de el - pentru a triumfa...
Is Mao Asada looking at a coaching change?

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.

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.

felicitari lui mao !!! mie mi-au placut teribil de mult programele ei din sezonul asta.
"Nobody objects to a woman being a good writer or sculptor or geneticist if at the same time she manages to be a good wife, good mother, good looking, good tempered, well groomed and unaggressive."
Mie cel de la gala. Ce mai inchidea si deschidea evantaiul Muzica foarte faina. Dar nu cred ca era de Paganini. Poate o prelucrare moderna.
Laura, maailman kaunein tyttö
da, foarte frumoasa si gala.

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.
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.

Puteam sa jur ca e Nichol, tipa e cu pile groase. Multi au spus ca daca o avea la Olimpiada treaba ar fi fost alta.
