According to reports, Mao is currently practicing both 3flip-3loop and 3flip-3toeloop! (As well as 3-axel, of course.)
A week never felt so long.
E.T.A.
Translation:
Yoshiko Kobayashi training director of Japan Skating Federation revealed on the 26th that former World Champion, Asada Mao (Chukyo University), who will make a come back after two seasons' break at Japan Open (Saitama Super Arena) on October 3rd is practicing triple axels as well as two types of triple-triple combinations, flip-loop and flip-toe loop.
Kobayashi training director, who visited a practice at Chukyo University on the 21st, stated that 'it was as if she had never taken a year off'. Asada herself apparently spoke of 'the desire to become a bit more leaner', and (Kobayashi) indicated the view that whether or not the highly difficult jumps would be incorporated into the performance elements in her comeback battle 'would be decided by Sato Nobuo coach based upon seeing Asada's condition.'

Thank for the update/translation, hurrah. I'm loving this news of Mao trying different 3-3's again. She never settles and is always improving herself. That is one interesting and gutsy lady.
Happy Belated Birthday to Mao-chan, sorry I missed it, had a busy day, hope she got a lot of wonderful gifts
and I'm happy to hear that Mao is practicing 2 3-3s, sounds like she is optimistic, Japan Open is so close yet so far, I just want to see her again!

Does this mean a possible 3F+3T in the short???
Just a guess. I think maybe Mao is considering the possibly of doing 3A, 3F / 3L, 3F / 3T like she did in the 2007 / 2008 season when she had a base tech score of 70 in her LP. They sure were beautiful to watch. I think the 3F/ 3L would be more likely with the 3S or 3T in the short. Her 3S is really big. If she decides to go that far. Again, I am just guessing. I don't believe Mao has ever tried 3A and the 3F /3L together in the short.

Maybe Coach Sato will allow Mao to try 3flip-3loop in the short this season, and if it looks like she won't get ratified for it, despite it being good, then they are preparing for her to do 3flip-3toe loop instead. So it looks like there will no longer be any 3-2 combos in the short for Mao. :yay:
Great news :yes:

I get an error message on that link.
Here is some information from rosewood about Mao's training schedule.

But Mao can never do a 3-3 tho. unless she indulges in pre-rotations and atrocious edge changes.

What are you talking about. Mao has done many ratified 3-3 in the past. And she will continue to do more 3-3 in the future. You may not recognize her talent and hard work, while you are accusing her of cheating. But believe me, she will succeed everything she puts her mind to, whether you like it or not.
P.s., I just realize you just signed up just to come on Mao fan fest and post your utter nonsense. If you don't like her, GO AWAY. We won't miss you.

Kindly leave Mao's fan thread if all you have to offer are insults.

What edge changes? Lol She only had an edge problem on 1 jump (Lutz). Mao is a very hard worker and if she can rebuild her jumps from nothing I'm sure she can get a +3T combination, and I think the flip is a good jump for her as well. It also clear that if she and more importantly Sato didn't think it was possible/progressing okay they wouldn't bother.

Because she can do a loop in the SP instead of a potential flutz, begin? I'm excited for her comeback!
