No, leave the value of the 3a as is.
Everyone whining, and I mean whining, for it to be higher are mao fans desperate for her to win in Sochi. They think it is her calling card to be out of reach for anyone come next year.
Well, let's remember, a 3a in the short was allowed in the combo jump. And the hollow argument that the 3a she be allowed as the steps jump is ridiculous, since it's extremely difficult for a woman to do 3a from preceding steps- did Ito and Harding ever do them out of steps.
You really think Mao was hindered from not being allowed- haha, imagine how much little flow she would have in and out of the jump. A sure underrotation or dg is more likely.
Please- all she had to do was to a 3lz-3lo, 3f or 3lo, and a 2a in the short in previous years and her base would've been higher than Yuna's, pretty simple. But we all know she can't to a 3lz, and her 3lo is not good enough for 2.75 revolutions to be ratified in the combo- that's not the rules fault, not the tech callers fault-blame them all you want. It's Mao's fault, pure and simple, yet her fans want another boost to the now 3a to give her the best chance. Cmon, she was never hindered in any way, and the rules were never against her. In fact, she got away with alot of ratified lutzes and combos that she shouldn't have before 2008, when they finally decided to drop the hammer on bad edges and ur's.
