Great post, but don't feed the trolls. Mao could land 8 clean triples and score 160 and the haters would still hate her(even more), try to bash her by nitpicking her jumps, write only negative criticism etc. Some people rarely post here, except to bash Mao(or other jpn skaters) when she competes. It's weird, but it's true. The bots are still alive, look at the number of thumbs down in her videos, even when she hits, for example, 268 thumbs down for that wonderful JO performance: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kj4EyYCKvJQ
Anyway, Asada isn't perfect, she has problems like any other skater, but it's not like she gets away with it. Actually the contrary. She has to fight for every jump, every goe and every program component everytime.
Perfect explanation bravo!!!
