Practice photos and videos [TEB 2008]

:disagree::sheesh::scowl::banging:

How did a practice session about Mao turning into a Yu-na/Mao fight??

It's inevitable. Once Yu-Na or Mao appear on a post, it will have to turn into a fight:no:

Back to the pictures though, Mao looks lovely. I can't wait to see what her programs are like this season!
 
According to a different poster here at GS, Mao in her program run-through missed just the first Axel (and landed it later in combination) as well as the rest of the jumps.

What does it mean ? Then what had Yomiuri pressman watched in her practice? Why the hell they wrote such an ugly article ? Is he a Yuna bot, too ? Everything should be O.K with my lovely Mao!

I look at the yomiuri link, it does said that during the practice Mao fell some of her jumps including triple axel.
Believe me , there is nothing related to Yuna and I guess that Korean bots have that effort to translate from Japanese newspaper.
I am tired of Mao Yuna fan fight, it is worse than soap opera drama on the TV.
 
Should Oda stop attempting 3A (freaky accident, loss of consistency when in new boots) and Takahashi... well, nearly all of his jumps (multiple freaky accidents, total mess of a program when in new boots)? OK.

It's not just "one" freak accident. And why did she hit all of her other jumps if it was just the boots.

Oda is inconsistent with his triple axel, so that's not the best example. However, unlike Mao, Oda needs to go for two triple axels if he want's a chance of winning. Oda doesn't have a choice once again Mao does.

And I highly doubt that Oda's track record with the triple axel is as weak as Mao's has been the last two years. Once again, she was 1 for 6 last year that's 16%.. And I think she hit only one clean one the year before as well.

Mao doesn't need two triple axels to win. One would do it, and one is enough of a risk as it is for her, but it's a calculated worth it risk... Two though is really pushing it. And for the record, I never said Mao should stop attempting the triple axel. I said that Mao should only attempt it once. There's a difference.

I think Mao should only repeat the triple axel, when the triple axel is as consistent as her triple flip... But hey that's just me..... And once again we are hearing from the practices that Mao's triple axel is not consistent.

Gosh, at least the Yu-na fans get upset when it comes to calls. At least it seems this one Mao fan gets upset if you dare to even criticize a strategic decision on the part of Team Asada. (sigh)

Wow, you also know those crazy talk by Korean media about how Confucianism was actual born in Korea instead of China? :laugh::laugh:

Here's another example. The ancient Korean map!!

China has been a part of Korea since ancient times!

??? Is it considered ok to make mockery of a country in this board? Fierecemao looks like Mao fans' sean Hannity. It is Presence of Hannity and O'reilly that brought Keith Olbermann. If ppl don't want on going feud between yuna/Mao fans, maybe they should ask Hannity to be quite becasue inevitablly it will bring bunch of Olbermanns and feud will get more fierce.

Yes, maybe, perhaps, probably. But why then TAT puts two 3A in the program, and not only one?

Yes. And Russia is the homeland of elephants. :)

Maybe it's Mao who is insisting on this, kind of like with the brackets.

And/Or maybe they will do like I'm saying and wait and see if the first triple axel is consisten.

I definetly think it's worth it for Mao to work on a triple axel/combination.

And/or maybe they aren't seriously planning it but are just trying to fake out her competition.

Because Team Mao announced she will try two 3A, should we take their words seriously? Mao also said she is planning on 3A/3T combo and even diehard Mao fans won't take her words seriously when it comes to 3A/3T combo.

And Genghis Khan was Japanese if you didn't know:laugh:

Last season Mao landed 3 Triple Axels out of 6 attempts, two of wich perfectly ( 4CC, Japan skates). Since a 3A is now worth 8.2 points it's a quite smart move if she attempts two. During the last season, she has finally learned to recover from mistakes, so if one attempt fails, she can try another one. Remember her worlds freeskate: right after the huge fall on the 3A , she landed her best 3F-3T ever!

And because she challenges herself so much, she never gets boring! I usually can't wait to see her new programs because everything is different - jump layout, spins, spirals, steps etc.. For some of her rivals ( won't tell who :laugh: ) I have lost my interest since they have the same content every year. So, you need to appreciate Mao for her effort. No risk , no fun !!!!
 
Do you know one 3A must be done as combo if Mao wants to put two 3A in a program? It seems to me you think she just can throw two 3A.
 
Thanks to those posters who mentioned names and found videos of skaters before Yu-Na Kim who performed the spin. I thought Yu-Na couldn't have been the originator of the spin, just like how Confucius did not come from Korea instead of China.

Koreans have never claimed on Confucius. Don't spread a rumor.
