I've never seen this beautiful performance of Mao Asada. Such an exquisite and sophisticated program but the score was not as high as her SP at World 2014. 3A here is fully rotated, it's obvious in the slow replay. This performance should have been given the world record at the time.
I keep coming back to this. Mao skates this so tenderly. If she can do it even better than this at the Olympics, I will be blown away because this was amazing.
In my memory, the technical judge at this time was amano shin. amano shin did not like mao asada. He never acknowledged 3A of mao asada. The world record should have come from the GPF, not the WC.
All her jumps were fully rotated and tec scores should of been higher. I hate this new judging system. It really mess up the skaters mentally and physically.
She is a female that demonstrates high-class sophistication which is a form of femininity at its finest. She does this in many different ways. So thankful for her loyalty devotion commitment ability to motivate and inspire people to be true towards love honor and the creation of life. She is able to do this thanks to her genetic heredity on top of formal education hands-on experience in learning her own body's capabilities and limitations for she fully engages with all her body senses to their extreme limits. She had the greatest playlist on MySpace. I used to enjoy exercising to her selection of music. I remember a few songs. Which is good considering she had enough music to keep you going for days if not weeks. Only because of her do I have a understanding of the value potential of rotating elliptical symmetrical force.
stupid judges!! these kind of performences remind me the Golden age of figure skaters a years ago when the stupi new system wasnt invented... I dont know what are they looking for... these performence is beauty, exciting, powerful, and doesnt look like a mechanical performence that the new system has made to a lot of skaters!! thanks to mao for these skate!
Thank you for your comment. Mao here gives an incredibly beautiful, subtle yet athletically challenging performance. The judges were paving the way for the Sochi and Worlds LP scoring travesty when it comes to Mao's scores and jumps. They are just making it obvious how biased and unjust this new system is when they give her a full blown downgrade (not ur) with negative GOE on such an obviously fully rotated triple axel. I'm glad Mao endured to give such inspirational performances (Sochi LP and Worlds Sp and LP) with these judges putting her under such psychological stress for making such harsh calls.
Yes, but any way the important thing is that she gave us her performen e as a gift to all the skaters in the world and we will not remember the marks, we will remember as one of the most beatiful performences ever skated, and that this will last forever, as a coach i look foward to these kind of performence, and I always show this to my students as a grow model to follow.
taofolk You are right. Better to just enjoy the transcendent beauty of this legendary performance, which soothes the soul. As a coach, would you mind telling which one you liked better: this one or Mao's SP performance at Worlds 2014. Also, what do you think of Mao's Sochi LP? Mao's performance of this program at Worlds is my very favorite SP, but this one comes really close, Mao's Sochi's LP is my all time favorite and the most complete performance I have ever seen in terms of attaining the perfect balance of athleticism and artistry combined with profound emotional intensity, especially due to the redemption in the performance. Mao's 2010 Worlds LP is my second favorite. What do you think of this performance? .
In this program. Triple awxl was under rotated and -4.3 goe. So triple axel was 5.57 point. And she fell down is FS In FS triple axel get 5.5 point.(8.5- 3.0goe) What the..?
