I personally believe that there's far too much unwarranted hate on Mao Asada this season. I also think that there has been a resounding agreement that her personal growth as a skater from Vancouver to now has been inspiring, impressive and promising. So, to cancel out the negative juju that some posters have decided to put out into the universe, I am starting to thread to talk about how far Mao has come since winning silver in 2010.
To prevent things from going sour- because it's bound to and you know people will pounce, I'm banning the following points:
- her jumps
- Yu Na Kim
- ISU 'politicking' (the magical unicorn in this forum)
This thread is to talk about the extent of growth in her artistry, speed, performance, her insistence in 'going for it, all the way' and the positive attitude she has been exuding the past couple of seasons. Asada has dealt with SO MUCH since Vancouver (losing her jumps, losing her mother, coming back from skating 101), and I think it would be nice to acknowledge that this figure skater has come back refreshed and stronger than ever.
Obviously, we can't prevent any nyasayers from bombing this thread with mud and slander, but if you can ignore them- move past the bloody mofos
So, how do you think Asada has grown from 2010?
