Shi-chan is a neckname of Shizuka Arakawa who is close to her.
1. Morosov said in the past mid-season that he was encouraging Miki to do the quad "as well, of course!", and that he was planning to bring it possibly in the GPFinal, more probably in the Worlds.
the fascination of the Quad is watching Lambiel take off in a quad toe and turn 4 times in the air in perfect position and land with a soft bent knee with amazing flow on the skate.

Mao is straight eager forward and looks like wanting a signature jump.
So if you can suggest her a safer and cleverer way to make such a wow-element, she might drop the quad and do that instead.
Sorry I just thought the catchy name a bit funny, but I was not seriously thinking that it would ever happen to Mao in reality. I would be concerned if Mao uses neither 3T nor 3S. But she at least put her 3T in her program this past season. I am also hoping that she would bring her 3S back.
But didn't the previous system encourage skaters to do a full set of jumps? Even if a penalty may be too harsh, a bonus sounds great to me.
Has any lady (Ito?) ever done all six different tripels, including 3A, in a program?
Mao has a triple flip/triple loop combination and I believe she is working on a triple Lutz/triple toe. So she could do two 3As, two 3Lz's AND the complete complement of triples.

If the ISU really wanted this they could make a rule along the lines that you can't repeat more than one jump until you have attempted all five triples and a double or triple Axel.
When talking about a complete set of triples, does one include those appearing to be clean in combos? I would like to see clean solo triples loops and salchows or at least using them as the first jump in a combo. The loop jump, in particular, needs some sort of momentum because it is an edge jump and no assisted toe-off is given it. Doing it as a first jump in a combo, I guarantee, you will never see, unless it is to show consecutive loop jumps.

Do I really have to go back to a past star jumper to get this?
Most of the replies were not based on Mao and Miki who do not do solo loop jumps, I believe, and prompted the question in IFS magazine. Anyone start with a triple loop in a combo? during the CoP period? Just enquiring. I don't know.
I agree. But we have to blame the CoP, not the skater.Although I do admire Mao as a super human talent, the reason why Mao's jump layout for this past season gave me a repetitive impression was perhaps because the kinds of the first jumps were limited: three axels (one 3A, two 2As), two flips, and two lutzs, whereas both loop and toe-loop were the second/third jumps of combos. Another thing may be that the similar kinds of jumps came in series: 3A followed by 2A combo, and three toe jumps with the same leg (triple lutz, triple flip, and triple lutz combo) in the latter half. (Besides the music sounded kind of repetitive...). But if these were laid out differently, I might not have felt that way.
