According to reports, Mao is currently practicing both 3flip-3loop and 3flip-3toeloop! (As well as 3-axel, of course.)
A week never felt so long.
E.T.A.
Translation:
Yoshiko Kobayashi training director of Japan Skating Federation revealed on the 26th that former World Champion, Asada Mao (Chukyo University), who will make a come back after two seasons' break at Japan Open (Saitama Super Arena) on October 3rd is practicing triple axels as well as two types of triple-triple combinations, flip-loop and flip-toe loop.
Kobayashi training director, who visited a practice at Chukyo University on the 21st, stated that 'it was as if she had never taken a year off'. Asada herself apparently spoke of 'the desire to become a bit more leaner', and (Kobayashi) indicated the view that whether or not the highly difficult jumps would be incorporated into the performance elements in her comeback battle 'would be decided by Sato Nobuo coach based upon seeing Asada's condition.'
Does this mean a possible 3F+3T in the short???
Maybe Coach Sato will allow Mao to try 3flip-3loop in the short this season, and if it looks like she won't get ratified for it, despite it being good, then they are preparing for her to do 3flip-3toe loop instead. So it looks like there will no longer be any 3-2 combos in the short for Mao. :yay:
Here is some information from rosewood about Mao's training schedule.

I get an error message on that link.
But Mao can never do a 3-3 tho. unless she indulges in pre-rotations and atrocious edge changes.

Kindly leave Mao's fan thread if all you have to offer is insults.
