With all that has been said about Mao in Japan and indeed all over the world, i think we were all expecting her to be pretty much unbeatable. So far, her first season as a Senior was the best, when she was a little girl in pink who we all thought would grow and develop artisty and be the next worlds champ. 2 years later has Mao proven herslef?
Not to me. She was expected to walk away with the world title, and it went to miki. she did not win the GPF last year, and only landed the 3 axel at worlds and even there it was called 2 footed (athough it was clean to me). A second triple axel now seems completely out of the picture and as for this new artisty, well i have to say i liked the old mao better. I don't see anything great so far this season, she looks like a shizuka wanna be now.
All in all do you think Mao can ever live up to her expectations?
