i think the two programs are good---> but not for mao
she is a very light und lyrical skater who needs soft music... watch her tarasova programs and after nocturne... it makes me nuts how that woman destroys her style... nocturne was so effortless und natural and now you really feel how uncomfortable mao is with the music.. everything seems forced... and thats one of the main reasons why yuna kim now has such an edge over mao in pcs... yuna steps out onto the ice, feels comfortable and there's almost an arrogance about her performances.. you know that she is never going to fail... when mao comes out on the ice , i really hold my breathe... because she is nervous and so am i ...
i also think tat is ignorant.. every commentator on tv basically says the same... that the music and the style doesn't fit mao.. but tat doesn't care because she likes that music, amen
besides: what are they doing with mao's jumps? i'm not an expert but why did they change her flip? to my mind, aratunian did the right thing of not changing her lutz.. it was a secure jump for her . who cares about a 1-point-deduction? with aratunian mao was able to do 3-3 combos with the 3T and now even her double loops in combination get downgraded regularly...
