| Great photos. Mao's spiral looks amazing.  Here is the opening group act: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1ugh_GbI0UThe choreography is so silly.  Sasha looked very much into it, but Mao at times had a "what am I doing this, anyway?" expression.  Very cute though, and the audience seemed to love it.

I hope the links work!
thanks for the links Oscilla!! Thank you so much!! - Quote :
- The today's falls scare me a bit... In the first show Mao's jumps looked great, but have gotten progresively worse - cautious approach, somewhat wild air position. I doubt it's just fatigue - Mao has handled worse, and generally her stamina is great. I hope it's something like boot problems or a slight cold...
You scare me a little bit... I hope it isn't serious...I hope fixing the flutz didn't affect her jump as much as that! I hope she isn't injured!! Anyway, I enjoyed her new programs so much, her Sing sing sing makes me smile and wanna dance every time I watch it, she put so much energy in it, it's wonderful!!  Don't give up Mao, I'll always be with you   | |

| ...And one more video. Mao's "Sing..." - 20.07 [homevid]  http://www.motionbox.com/video/player/d490d2b01f15e95c This is the last day performance... Something really looked weird, not just jumps weren't stellar, but other elements like split jump or bunny hops were skipped... Hopefully it's just a boot or blade problem like at Japan on Ice last year and not injury. Aside from those problems, the performance was very energetic and fun. | |

I heard about it as well (after the USA vs Japan competition). Also, when Nobunari switched to Barkell and started working on fixing his flutz he ended up with a severe ankle injury and had a disastrous Jr. GP season. But he bounced back to win Jr. Nationals and Jr. Worlds with a true lutz (and Miki fixed her lip), so fixing it is definitely possible. Mao has a lot of support from her doctors, Wieder consultants and coaches in Nagoya, so she should be OK. | |

| Thanks a lot for all the links (and just for being here), Oscilla, mao1985 and everybody!  I hope TAT is monitoring the situation. I hope The Ice will give us answers to some questions concerning the jumps. I hope when The Ice will give us answers to some questions concerning the jumps and we will understand that TAT is monitoring the situation, there will be no more space in our hearts for any kind of worries - only for joy.  Because these new programs are so amazingly wonderful!.. Ganbatte Mao-chan!!  | |

It's rare for her to fall, not to mention multiple times. I hope it's not an injury. 
), but the program itself is lovely. Lovely spiral and steps, as always! 
As bibi mentioned, working on flutz could cause some problems. While I doubt that it can influence the quality of Mao's jumps (other than lutz/flip), changing the technique comes with working on ankle movement and a lot of falls... IIRC Miki got injured fixing her lip last season.
