I expected Mao to keep skating. This young lady will never quit. She has that undying fire I always associate with Plushenko, which might mean much more is in store for her. I just hope she can skate her best and without injury for this next Olympic cycle, but I don't think I'll ever have to worry. Mao seems to be very smart in training her body. I've never heard for any serious injuries from her. I heard about the quad. Personally, I would love her to perfect her triples first and then move on to the quad, but she seems to love to challenge herself. The quad will probably take a year or two to perfect, but I expect to see it squicky-clean by then. Go Mao
