Okay. Thanks. It sees likely that it was a downgrade then. This is sad. Mak is no more sucessful at fully rotating the 3 Axel than her 3/3's. She might as well put the 3 flip/3 loop back in. She bet it all on landing this darn jump and now when she does she does not get credit for it. Poor Mao.
Fumie did go over 31 on the tech scores without a combo and a fall on the 3lutz. I'm going to go with the underrotated 3A theory for now.I really don't see how Mao can reach a 69+ with only 1 triple. Its probably her 2T or she didn't get credit for something...
i dont think that means she cant do 3/3 anymore, i mean the original plan for this was 2 3A and a 3F-3L, but i DO think we may not see a 3/3, not this season
Probaly this obsession comes because she wants to be the first female to land a 3A in the short and 2 3A in the long at the olympics(Midori almost did so...)
It's not difficult to understand. At the WTT earlier this year, Mao got 44.4 on her TES, that was with a 3a/2t that didn't get downgraded. Here, she got 36.84, a loss of about 8 points. The total point value of a 3a/2t? 9.5. If it was just her 2toe that got downgraded, Mao would've scored 70+.I really don't see how Mao can reach a 69+ with only 1 triple.

Which will more likely than not get a DG. That, and the fact that she changed her flip technique makes the 3-3 even more of an unrealistic option than her 3A. Team Mao feels the 3A is their strongest option when it comes to earning the big points, and I fully support them.If mao does a 3flip/3loop, even clean.

Yes, that is part of It, but more than that she wants to win the olympics and feels that the triple axels are the only way she can do so. It is the only thing she has over the Yu-na. If mao does a 3flip/3loop, even clean, it will get fewer points than Yu-na's 3 lutz/ 3 toe.

Anyways, good job Kanako!
So why is Kanako 9 points behind Mao and only one ahead of Fumie? A 3/3? She is the only one who landed one so far. I did not the rest of her skating but it seems like she should be closer to Mao.
