She will win or die trying.
Isn't that what she planned this year?

As for Evan Lysacek, I think Tarasova is secretly aiding Johnny Weir to an Olympic medal. Nothing else can explain the hideousness of Evan's costumes this year!
And though I didn't like Masquerade at first, it's starting to grow on me with its hypnotic intensity. I had Masquerade playing all night through my dreams after Mao's GPF LP. )
One silly question here...
Is Tatiana Tarasova the Orser and Wilson in one person?
I guess she wants absolute control over her pupils.
There was a lot of skepticism regarding Mao doing two 3A's in the LP this year, especially as she didn't land one very often last season. But she has carried it off very well so far, and some fans are even suggesting replacing the 3F-3R in the SP with the 3A-2T now. She has also made marvelous progress on the 3Z, 3S, and 3T over the last season or two. It's amazing to see!
I think that the FAR BETTER OPTION for Mao would be to skate the program like this...
MY PLAN:
3A
3A+2T
3F+2Lo+2Lo
3S
3F+3T
3Lo
2A
When Tarasova became Mao's coach, everybody probably assumed that she came to help Mao improve her presentation skill. Instead Mao is going opposite direction by trying to push techinical boundary, which is irony,
Also didn't ppl used to say Yu Na plays safe while Mao takes risk? All of sudden ppl start saying Yu Na is taking too much risk because one miss can hurt her more than Mao, so does it mean Mao is actually playing safe by putting two 3A?
Maybe difference between "safe" program and "risky" program is much more complicated than ppl used to think,
