Pasquale Camerlengo interview from Absolute skating. Here's his quote on who he would love to work with it's Caro, Mao and Yuzuru.

Quote :

Are there any skaters you would love to work with?
Of course. In ladies I would love to work with Carolina Kostner. She is so beautiful on the ice and so good at doing what she does. That leaves a lot of room for creativity; there are no limits because she is so good. And I really like Mao Asada, I think she can be great, but she hides her potential a little bit. In the men's, hard to say... I really like Yuzuru Hanyu. He already has something: he is a good skater, he is very flexible and he is still young enough to mold. But I don't want to name skaters and then it would never happen.

I wish Mao will ask him to choreograph a program next season 'coz I wanna see what he can do to Mao.

yeah it would be interesting to see someone like camerlengo do a program for Mao, maybe Mao will consider him next season...

Mao + Camerlengo would be double awesomeness!!!
Hope that happens even not in the near future.

I love Yuzuru and CaroK too, either of them w/ Camerlengo would be great also.

In the meantime i am so happy for mao for such a great beginning of the season. Hope it stays like this for her until still far Sochi, thank-you roma and everyone else for the great company in cheering on mao throughout the course of the beginning of the season!!!
Thanks Y'all!

and best wishes to Mao for the rest of this 2011-2012 season! :cheering:

Don't worry purplemaze, there's still rostelecom. Like you said, this is just the beginning of Mao's season. We know she doesn't normally have a good start but here she did great! I'm so glad for the company here during this competition. It has been really enjoyable and nerve-wracking at the same time checking this forum and the Mao facebook group often. Btw, are you in the FB group?

Sorry to butt in, but there is an FB group? I've been away for far too long it seems.

i sent you pm but dunno if it was sent properly... Sending from ipad here.

I found this new article on Camerlengo. In the section where he talks about skaters he'd like to work with, he mentions Mao again! I kinda agree with him about Mao's untapped potential. Oh, he also wants to work with Yuzuru too. I want to see both of them working with him in the future

Awww roma, Arigatou!

Yes, you're right! We still have Rostelecom Cup next for Mao, and then we have the Nationals after that... and who knows most likely our Mao will also go all the way to 4CC... till Worlds. Heheh here i am already so excited about all the coming competitions Mao will/might participate in. But honestly i feel our thoughts are mutual after also reading your earlier post in the thread. i said thanks earlier as i really feel thankful of you and all our other members here for the warm company since i've come visit the forum again last month. This forum was like an oasis for someone like me, who felt the absence of Mao like an agony, her ups and downs from the last season, plus the tragic and sad disaster that struck us here in Japan, all add up - to a very lonely and unhappy season last year.

But indeed like you said roma coming in here once in awhile, (engaging in all the Mao stories and news; and discussing the start of the season with you all guys, while cheering on Mao - till we saw her finally overcoming this NHK) has been such a great pleasure to me this skating season, even if it's still just the beginning of the season, i think i would still feel the same.
And for that, again, many THANKS to y'all!

About the fb group Q. ~ made me thinking. Perhaps like a few of our other members here, i was gone forquite a long time, that i didn't know about the fb group. I do however have FB account and is part of some Mao Asada Pages and Accounts there, i believe. Do we have a Mao Facebook group? Wow, that'll be cool!

For those of you who haven't joined the FB group and want to join, please PM me for instructions.

I just joined the FB group!

Anyway, I can't wait to see Mao compete in Russia. Just 2 weeks away. Seeing Mao making progress makes me want to work hard too!

Just saw your post in the group. Sorry about the pm. Not sure if my message was sent after hitting the send button.

CoR... I'm excited for Mao but not sure I will be awake to see her skate there via live streams.

this one is news in season..right?
