Here's a question that looks to the future. Namely, what does Meissner need to add to her SP and LP to be able to beat Asada at a Grand Prix competition next year?
I think Meissner herself wants to be competitive against Asada, but her program right now just doesn't give her the chance to beat Mao's clean skates or even skates with a few mistakes.
Hopefully you won't say that she needs the triple axel to do it. Hopefully what she can do is do more complicated spins to score some points as well as add a combination of three jumps (a triple-triple-double)
