I think the treatment Miki has been getting - started out getting hyped as the greatest thing since sliced bread; torn to shreds for not living up to the impossible; and now even though she has a major title under her belt (that Mao Asada lacks), she is still a victim of Mao-mania -- has been very bad for her -- it is almost like psychological whiplash.

I also believe that the press getting off of her back would be a good thing. Trying to get her to do things that violate her cultural norms could easily do more harm than good. Also -- last season, she had a complete meltdown at the GPF and recovered for worlds, so maybe she can do the same.
