Here is the brand new version of the video, twice longer with many new quads (some of those from practice would be given credit!).

But she hasn't even been doing 3-3's. Is a quad really possible now? The latest ones in Bartek's vid were 2009.
I really admire her determination to push the limit though. All those painful falls but she kept putting it out there, and not just in practice.

What Spun says is right, and yes Miki is not content primarily with herself avoiding 3-3's, so she was doing 3lz-3lo-3lo in practice for sometime after the worlds.
She seems to be taking a break right now, but she'll soon want to prove she has not given up on it, I believe.
And oh her quad ... it seems to me that it's sort of a self-encouragement.
I can't forget how Miki burst her joy right after her free at GPF'08 in which she stayed on her foot with her 4S< .
Even though it has a < , and though maybe not much of a meaning, this is indeed recorded officially in the protocol sheet as a 4S attempt without fall.

I heard her somewhere (maybe it's the same interview we're thinking of) saying that she would like to show world one more quad in competition. I couldn't understand why she didn't try it last season with the new rule for underrotations, I mean her triple-triple. Ok, quad is very risky, you can fall etc. but look at my video with her triple-triples, when the loop wasn't given a credit it just slightly crossed the borderline, most of the cases. She had one attempt last season with < but she still got more points than for 3Lz+2L with good GOE. Btw, it would be wonderful to see her try a quad once again.
2002-2003 Junior Grand Prix Final was the first quad ever by a woman. Some of those from practice would be given credit.
