I've been following both Mao's and Yu-Na's skating for a few years now, and both were wonderful to watch in person at Junior Worlds this past March and have lots of potential for development. I believe it was Yu-Na's (her team's/Korea's) choice to keep her on the JGP this season because I would imagine she would have received a Senior Grand Prix invitation like Mao Asada otherwise. It will be interesting to see if they end up having a rematch at Junior Worlds in Slovenia next March.mzheng said:I've watched last JWC from a tape. Yu-na actually has more natural presentation skill then Mao. Both of them are great at jumps, light with eaze. Heard she is younger than Mao? Since Mao is in senior GP this season but Yu-Na still has to stay in JGP?
According to Oxford American .... the torque creates of force causing rotation. I would presume that she worked on the torque constantly as she practiced at least 20 3x3r a day. It took its toll.attyfan said:IIRC, didn't Tara Lipinski once say that there was something about the torque on the loop jump that caused her hip injury? If so, does anyone know if it is inherent in all loop jumps, or if it is something specifically connected to combinations?
IIRC, in a interview she said she did 50 3r/3r a day because the OGM was all she wanted.Joesitz said:According to Oxford American .... the torque creates of force causing rotation. I would presume that she worked on the torque constantly as she practiced at least 20 3x3r a day. It took its toll.

I think it was different with Tara. Tara claimed to be doing MANY 3r/3r a day so that there was virtually no possibility of mistake. I get the sense that the Japanese in general know when too much is too much in terms of pushing themselves and training. When I visited Japan to play piano there I was surprised at how in general the Japanese students didn't practice a lot. Instead, they practiced extremely efficiently.chuckm said:The size of the body won't keep Mao from hurting herself. Tara was tiny (and still is), yet practicing the 3L/3L destroyed her hip. It's the torsion caused by rapid rotation in the air that puts a strain on the hip flexors, not falling out of the jump.
I've been getting a sore hip from doing double loops. I think it's just the jump.attyfan said:IIRC, didn't Tara Lipinski once say that there was something about the torque on the loop jump that caused her hip injury?
