At the press conference after LP, Mao said that she "can do 3A easily" so I'm guessing she'll keep it in her programs.
I sincerely hope something was lost in the translation there because her track record on the 3A doesn't support her confident statement. 3A is not easy, not even for men. For a female skater whose 3A has to be scrutnized left, right and center everytime she does it - I think Mao's attitude needs a fix too, besides everything else. This is why getting a right coaching team is critical for her at this point. When Frank Carroll first agreed to coach Mirai Nagasu, he encountered similar attitude problem from Nagasu as well. I think Mao has been without a permanent and consistent coach up close for quite some time that she is letting her teenager exuberance getting a little out of control. Sorry, that statement really bothers me, maybe it was just a poor translation because that's not the kind of attitude that will bring about the changes she needs.
