OK, YOU have not heard or seen that Mao said she should have gotten more points. But I searched for the interview where she said so. And you THINK you have not seen any resentment.(Very subjective)
Here is the interview. I don't understand why some posters say she NEVER said so.

She certainly said,
1. My SP was perfect including 3A. Comparing to Yuna Kim, I think my points should have been closer to Yuna's.
ショートプログラム（ＳＰ）はトリプルアクセル（３回転半）ジャンプを含めて完璧（かんぺき）に出来ました。金妍児（キム・ヨナ）選手（韓国）と比べると、もう少し点数が近づいていても良かったんじゃないかなと思います。
2. About 3As, there should have been more GOEs. What I am most worried about is the standards of GOE. What kind of jumps would be 3 or 1? Figure skating is not about time record and it is people that judge those things, I don't know exactly the standards. I want to ask the judges about it when I return to Japan.
トリプルアクセルに関しては、もう少しＧＯＥ（出来栄えの評価）の加点があっても良かったのにな、と思いました。今の採点方式で一番気になるのは、ＧＯＥの基準です。どんなジャンプを跳んだらプラス３になるのか、プラス１になるのか。フィギュアはタイムがはっきりと出るものではなく、人が採点して決めるものなので、その基準がよくわからなくなる。日本に帰って、もう一度ジャッジの方々に聞いてみたいです。
3. Since Cop system appeared, the difficulty of jumps has got less and less meaning.... I think Plushenko's came back is a good thing because quadruples have also come back to the men's field. Though Yuna executes difficult 3-3, to be honest, I wanted to compare my points to hers after I had a perfect clean program. I want Yuna to continue because I want to win over her in the game.
新採点方式になってから、ジャンプの難度という意味では一段一段落ちていると感じています。今季、プルシェンコ選手（ロシア）が復帰してから、男子でまた４回転が見られるようになったのはいいことだと思っています。ヨナ選手も難しい２連続３回転ジャンプを跳びますが、私もすべての要素を完璧に決めた上で点数を比べてみたかった、というのが正直な気持ちです。ヨナ選手には、現役を続けていてほしい。やはり一緒に試合に出て、しっかりと勝ちたい。
来季に向け、苦手なサルコーやルッツも少しずつ練習はしていきたい。今季は入れなかった２連続３回転も。次の五輪までにいろんなことに挑戦して、また試合でできるようになればいいなと思います。
So my previous comments in the previous posts were baseless?:disapp: Honestly, I didn't care too much about what she said so I did not intend to search for this article. As I said before, I don't think questioning her points is such a big deal.
I know this is Yuna news thread, but once again, I don't understand some posters are overly protective and continue to deny the facts while there is evidences.
