- I am so very very happy for Mao winning her third World Championship!
I have nothing but heartfelt admiration for this beautiful artist. There is just something about her that touches me deeply. It's the way she glides and floats on the ice, her intense laser-like focus, her belief in herself, her humility, her stubbornness ( in a good way ), her love for her teammates, her ability to shoulder disappointments, her courage to get back up after a devastating fall ( like Sochi ) and her total dedication to skating. Plus, she'll kill you with that smile!
Everybody wants to be her friend, sister, boyfriend, confidante, teammate, student, etc...
But almost all of us here will never have that opportunity to be one of these things i just mentioned. So what do we do? We try to be like her, gaze at pictures of her, watch videos of her, find every scrap of news about her, to dream of her and to love her from afar...
What's sad is that she can't reciprocate that affection we have for her to each of us, in a personal way. It would be impossible. We are human beings. And we expect love to be a two way street. When we give it away, it's natural to expect it back.
That's where this forum is special. We give our love to Mao knowing we can't get it back. We give it to her, freely...
But maybe I'm wrong. I think she did love us back. She loved us back through her skating. And for sure we have seen the most moving, the most beautiful and the most inspiring performances we will see in our lifetime. It is a personal gift from her to each of us. And it came from her heart...
I already miss her You are totally right, she may have never said a world to me but she made ME and MILLIONS of people HAPPY and smile all around the world | |

- I think Japoneses should get a free ticket for every competition and russians (some of them) should pay triple the price .
Honestly, I may be more like russians than japanese :p I'm so anxius before mao performs that I can't enjoy other skaters programs, and once she finishes, I'm so happy/sad that I can't focus on the others too :p I also want Mao to win sooo much that sometimes I involuntarily shout "YES !! " when other competitors fall I feel guilty and really bad afterwards but I can't help it, ... honestly, I was not like that! I've always wanted Mao to win fairely and to me, she doesn't the other competitors fall to win against them, but the system pushed me to the extreme !!! Other skaters marks are sooooo unreasonnably high ! (ex : yuna, caro or yulia's PCS) while judges are sooooo strict with Mao (ex, today's 3A) that for me, -1 deduction for a fall does not even compensate for the advantage the other skaters have !! | |

| This gala was wonderful. And skaters looked to be having a blast. I do wonder though why Gracie and Kovtun weren't part of the gala, but Ashley was who placed 7th. I thought it's top 5 to attend and than those whom organizers want as well. What am I missing? | |

It was so funny at 4:23 when Mao fixed her feet right after watching the screen and burst into laughing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cx8vp-2X2rM - zarinaballerina wrote:
Small medal ceremony. I hope there's a youtube video of this somewhere... Was this yesterday or today?
It was held outside the arena in front of many fans today - Abdiel wrote:
That second photo. Mao was doing her Nocturne ending pose, while Julia was doing the ending pose for her Schindler's List freeskate? I suppose it was the photo when they were requested (by fans?) to show their favorite poses. And here is one more. pic.twitter.com/CagguI1GwU

- Cute moment between Kanako and Mao
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XNjkyMTQ1MzEy.html I am glad Kanako decided not to retire yet... I didn't think it was fair for her to end her career with a last skate/last competition torn up by the tech judge You can feel her sadness when she was shaking her head after hugging Mao Best of luck to her next season!!! | |
