Then I have no idea.
The shae lynn remark was about Ashley's program. Wasn't it choreographed by Shae Lynn

huh ? Mao always relied on her light and floaty jumps style
and her 3-3 foundation was never good to begin with
so she has no choice but to muster her 3A
And no female skater can do 3 axel. That should tell you something.

Protocols up.
Her jumps look effortless to me so you wouldn't see a power look.

Apart from the axel, most of Mao's BV should come from spin levels.

That was what I would call a 1-2 punch for us fans. Ashley with her edgy spot on interpretation of the music and her great technique then Mao, soft, lyrical, and soulful with
beautiful jumps. Awesome skating from both of these ladies.
Shout out to Valentina and Victoria! Mae has improved and I enjoyed her program too.

Really great judging competition so far!! 
I actually think that all woman where judge fairly and I must say that Elena Radionova is very special and even if it is her first Senior GP competition, I find that she deserve her mark, I have never seen a skater express the music with her body like her, she is sublime! I actually like her yellow dress, it suit her age and the music.
Mao Asada, hum! maybe I'm nostalgic but I prefer her «Nocturne» in 2006, I liked the triple flip/ triple loop in her early age. Too bad that she isn't able to make triple/triple anymore. But, I credit her for doing triple axel! she is amazing, but I don't know, I find that this new «Nocturne» doesn't suit Mao skating like in 2006, the music looks to slow to her skating who is much stronger and faster in 2013. This nocturne program miss somes things :think:

I disagree; Ashley's interpretation has very little connection to the music, which was, for me, the big disappointment in an otherwise well skated program. Congratulations on her 3F+3T though (with positive GOE, no less)!

Not what I saw. You sure you're not just being anti-American as you're prone to be. Radionova will have another shot at moving up during the FS.

May be a bit
But I really love Mao's sp. And her interpretation was better for me..I like Radionova but she is too young...Her jumps were a mess since her growth spurt and she painstaikingly rebuilt them from scratch over the recent few seasons. Even at her best she didn't have a full set of triples - now she has all of them (8 triples in total) planned in the FS. I'd say her jumps are at the best they ever were.
Mao has 3F-3L and 2A-3T planned for the FS. She wanted to include a 3L-3L in her SP a few seasons ago, but practicing it hurt her hip, so she stopped. She can't include 3F-3L because she prefers to do 3F or 3L as the solo jump out of steps as they are the most secure jumps for her.
Mao already said she wants to attend the worlds if she makes the team.
