Does anyone think Mao performs better when she competes in Japan than abroad? I am not talking about nationals but even the ISU events held in Japan, she does better. I think she got her highest score at NHK event. Maybe it's just coincidence but it's interesting. In contrary to Yuna, Mao seems to thrive under hometown pressure.
I have noticed this, Mao seems to do best in Japan and Miki seems to do worst in Japan, and better at big events like Worlds and the GPF (except in '08 - don't know what happened there with all the downgrades!)
