Still no news about Mao's coach? I guess it won't really matter, though. She did win her two World titles and spend her Olympic season essentially coachless. My hunch is that it motivates her to train even more meticulously (if that's possible).

its seems that her jumps are really improving, from this show her flip looked diferent , the entrance, it was higher and with more flow that DOI, her loop lovely as always.
This programs really is a work of art
I agree. Mao's program gets stronger each time I see it. Her spins had better flow too.

These're the clips about training camp. We can see how much her jumps get improving there,too. Much flow out,speed and less habits on them

This is great news.
One thing you have to say about Mao: she is disciplined and committed. This isn't someone who gives up and goes home. I hope the upcoming season is equally thrilling for her and for us.
its seems now that her tecnique change a lot, even her 3a looks diferent and her lutz at the end was great to see, erfect edge

Her new program layout is going to be extremely difficult but rewarding!

I know... Auto-translate kinda suck...
She's going to put 2 triple axels and 2 triple-triple combinations in the free skate!! And all six triples including salchow and lutz! Also one triple axel in the second half...
So I'm guessing something like this?
3A+2T+2Lo
3Lz
3F+3T
3A
3F+3Lo
3S
2A
Yeah, something like that...
In the short program, she's going for a 3-3 combination and a 3A!
So
3F+3Lo
3Lz
3A
I think it's way to difficult right now but hopefully she masters this layout by 2014!

haha.. hope your dream come true..
Still flutzing. The change of edge is not as obvious though. Clearly, she's improving, so kudos to her and her new jump coach. I don't think she will be ready to bring that lutz by Japan Open. By Worlds, maybe.Originally Posted by ayayukiituka

This original sound like it is Mr.Nagakubo that wants her to try the most difficult jump layout.
Well, this article doesn't say one 3A is in the second half... where did you read so?
I found this! To me it looks a real Lutz

It sure looks like an outside edge! Yay Mao!
Dream big Mao! I hope you aren't serious about the quad though.
According to this video, I gather that she's in no rush to get there immediately since she's focusing on her basic jumps first.
I think it's a challenge, but definitely possible, given that she's done programs with 1 triple-triple and 2 triple axels, as well as programs with 2 triple-triples and 1 triple axel in the past.
It does...! And the height on it is great.
As for the ambitious layout, it's very difficult, but doable for Mao.I'm really impressed she's going for it, and I would say she's more likely to achieve it than not. I'm most looking forward to her 3F-3Lo combination, actually. I think I've seen it before, and it's a beauty.
I think that layout is intended to be the goal for Sochi, I definitely don't think we're going to see her come out attempting all that this season. I do think she can have a true lutz by the end of this season, and her 3axel looks a lot better than before. She may even have a rotated 3-3, but it will take a couple of seasons to put it all together for sure.
I'm really excited for her though. If she just stays healthy and everything goes according to plan, she really could be so great by 2014 - technically and artistically, both of which were a tad lacking in Vancouver.
