No, that's a wrong translation. They mean popped jumps (triples turned into doubles or singles). Underrotations are not the problems. Actually, Asada's jumps are getting higher and faster because of the physical trainings. What's bothering her is that she seems still unable to grasp the timings of jumps under tensed conditions.
Mao seems to be struggling again. I think Nakano might win this.

Then, what does this article means? Did Mao not only under-rotate her jumps, but also pop triple ones onto double or single? What does it mean? Would Mao do it once again in the comming competition?
But Nakano Yukari excecuted a successful triple Axel better than in Skate America!
It just shows you how fragile & volatile female skaters' conditioning can be even if you're the best jumper in the world.
Well, it's safe to say Asada is the best female jumper in the world at this point. By any chance, are you trying to say Kim (a lipper lacking loops) or Rochette (lacking 3-3s) are the better?. Asada is the first lady ever equipped with the 3A and two types of 3-3s (loop and toeloop). The salchow is a matter of the preference. As long as she does the 3A, there's no need to include it. Nonetheless she is ambitious enough to try it in this season. Pushing one's technical boundary is very rare virtue for a world champion's status.

Well, maybe, it's SAFE to say Asada is the best female jumper in the world at this point, despite new Popping her jumps due to overrotation, Two-footed landing and Flutz. But it’s not RIGHT to say like that!!!
