Ah, my first glimpse of Mao, still too skinny imho, but doing better and also totally understandable due to the recent death of her mother...
GOOOOOOOOOOO MAO!!!!!!!!!!
ps: I must be the only one that actually enjoyed the costumes Tarasova made for Mao, they were my favorite.
Yes!!! Thanks for the Radio Canada stream tip.
They all look pretty good out there. No really 'rough' warmups that I can see (though I am not watching super closely).
I am loving the blue dress she has on right now too :DOriginally Posted by Nadine

My favorite waltz (the whole time Najarro was skating I was picturing this):

She did a clean 3flip and 3loop in her long program at Canadians,and was third in that segment. I am reserving excitement until she starts landing the triples more consistently, but I hope she does because I really like what I see otherwise. Too bad about her short here; hope she has a better free.
Final flight looking really awesome (pretty solid!)...
Ashley seems to be soaking in the US crowd, and Mao looks beautiful in light blue. Should be interesting...a lot of confidence!
How is caroline looking?
Mao Asada (JPN)
Music: Sheherazade by Nikolai Rimski-Korsakov
She's wearing a new bright light blue dress
3A - shaky landing, 2footed, definitely UR, perhaps even DG
3F+2Lo
FSSp
3Lo
CCoSp - nice stretch in Y-spin

Not the last flight yet, so she hasn't warmed up yet.
Ahhh, Mao is head & shoulders above everybody else that has skated thus far, nice attempt at the 3A, 3/2, 3R, and I looooooooooooove her toepoint & extension on the spins, SUPERB!!!
64.25 for Mao

Yay. Mao went for 3A. Slow-mo showed it was UR, so 6.0 - GOE.Ahhh, Mao is head & shoulders above everybody else that has skated thus far, nice attempt at the 3A, 3/2, 3R, and I looooooooooooove her toepoint & extension on the spins, SUPERB!!!
Everything else is fine. She seemed really slow going into her Axel. I prefer her previous outfit compare to this one.
