I'm more worried about my poor nerves than about Mao's, now

Thanks inskate!!! Love you lovely, very very much! Agree about the nerves part. I got a cold somehow and feeling really bad, I guess after Olympics I'm going to end up being ill for 2 weeks hope not of course!
The one thing is that I'm sure about is Mao became much stronger both physically and mentally.

And after what happened at worls how are you guys feeling about olympics.

Quite positive, actually! I'm more worried about my poor nerves than about Mao's, now

Thanks inskate! We are lucky to have you! Could you share us your opinion about Yuan's scores? It seems she is getting more and more consistent. She landed every triple in both SP and LP consecutively in NRW, korean national, and worlds. Given her GOE and PCS, she seems unbeatable. The only chance for Mao is to skate her SP and LP clean, but that is quite difficult given her insane layout. She attempts 6 kinds of triples and Yuan only attempts 4. It is only natural that yuna cleans her program much more easily. And we all know what happens when yuan is clean. Those insane GOE and PCS are killing the sport. Because it makes the attempts to try difficult jumps meaningless. And I am really upset about that.

Is that Lori hugging Mao?

Me too! I was literally shacking during the last two groups of the Ladies FS!! I don't know how I'll feel during the Olympics... I just hope that Sochi will be a great competition...

Yes I think so, she is a lucky girl , I guess Mao recognized her.

Yes it's me! I was sooo happy Mao came to me ! She told me "thank you very much" and smiled a lot to me! I also got a picture with her earlier this day! It was awesome to get to see her skate again! She had such a nice practice session before her LP ! She did her runthrough (without spins) and landed every jumps! The highlight for me was her step sequence in both programs! She is really above everyone in this area. However, she really needs to work on her spead before her jumps, this is where Yu-Na and Carolina really shines. I'm just telling you this before sometime you can't really see this on tv but this is the first impression I had seeing them all skates back to back! I had a really wonderful week at Worlds and I didn't want it to end I loved seeing the exhibition gala practice yesterday morning, Kana is just tooooo funny and keep follow Mao There are just like sisters !

Thank you very much for your gift to Mao. It looked like Tigger. Tigger is good at jumping, I felt your kindness and moved. A few times, I watched the scene.
Between you and Mao, nice relationship has been stronger, I felt. And at the same time, I felt as if I had been there, in London, Canada. It was one of the best moments I have ever seen after the competition.

Guys, have you seen this video? I'm sorry if it was posted before and missed it:https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=W8S-Zg3j7CA

Poor Akiko, it really broke my heart
On the other hand, Mao-Caro-Yuna moment was hilarious! Mao was a nice girl asking Carolina is she's ok, but Yuna looked stunned to find out the blood on the ice came from her ("Was it...yours"?). And then Carolina started joking about her coach punching her before she took the ice
The ladies competition was the most satisfying for me, because we have on the podium the current 3 best skaters in the world: all 3 girls are world champions and all 3 have a complete set of medal at worlds. I for one am happy both Yuna and Carolina competed, it raised the level of the competition. The bronze medal here would have won the gold medal at the last 2 world championships, so Mao was actually very very good here.

Yes, it's been posted earlier. It's good you didn't miss it and repost it for people who might came here later.

Here is another video

When Mao is talking with a JSF lady, Mao looks very happy and the lady looks so excited for the victory ceremony.

Awww Mao is so sweet! And Yuna even got shy for a moment. I really want media to shut up, look at these gorgeous girls! Stop comparing them!

David says Kanako may be able to do quod.
Oh give me a break. Even if she ever starts to land quod toe it will not benefit her at all under the current system.

Thank you for sharing. I love seeing those sweet moments behind the scenes. Haters and media from both sides need to see this video and be as classy as them.

The wiki entry for Mao reported that she practiced quad. Is that true? I can't help worrying about how it will take a toll on her legs later. She's been doing difficult combos for a long time.

I think that was when she was still really young. There was a video of her practicing a quad salchow although far from rotated.

Yeah it was a little soft tiger and there were some candies in a bag in from of it We don't see it on tv but while they were showing the replays, Mao was looking a the candies! I hope she can eat them because the season is over It's so kind of you saying that you felt this moment was one of the best moment you've seen after a competition !

Mao came back to Japan.

I search through google and Japanese websites, i will post FS photos soon but still can't find the photo of you and Mao

This link is a photo album of skaters at this Worlds signing on their skating boots made by curators at an art gallery in London.
http://twitpic.com/photos/theartsproject?page=1

There were Zijun, Yuna, Carol but I don't see Mao.

According to several tweeters, the skaters behind the stage all stood up from their seats after Zijun finished her LP, and she also got one of the loudest standing ovation from the audiences.

Do you guys know where can I find pictures of the banquet? Yuzuru and Zijun had a very cute photo together at last year''s Worlds. Cuteness overload
