Mao safely arrived to Paris Smile

In other news, Brian Joubert withdrew from the men's event:

He is reportedly suffering from the flu. I'm a bit miffed about his withdrawal - considering he mocked Daisuke during his LP performance at GPF last year, the least he could do was try and prove that he can do better under the same circumstances. Lips sealed

I absolutely love Mao 3 axel! it was clean and not cheated, that was so a long time since I saw her doing it without brackets, I think she should leave it without them!
GO MAO!! cheers

In her interview, I heard some time "Canada", could someone please tell me what she is saying about it? and does she say she plan to do the 3axel in france?
thanks!

Thank you, Popon and Yumei, for the links! flower

Wow, that 3A looked so light and effortless! WOW!

I agree that she should do it without brackets. It's great that she proved that she can do it even out of a difficult entrance, but it seems that when she does the brackets, she loses a bit of flow and speed (and the judges never seem to appreciate the difficulty of it, either...). This one in the practice was so high and light! Dance

Hi,I am new here.Thank you all for the vids.
I wonder what is the background music when mao shows in the airport in this vid http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=dNAZlKeaDdQ
I heard this musci for many times in mao's fluffs, a little bit curious. Thank you all.

Welcome, tianrushui, nice to meet you! flower

The music that plays in the background is the main theme from the movie "The Neverending Story". The song is also called "The Neverending Story".

Here you can see the original clip:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3khTntOxX-k

There were many covers of this song - in the Mao clip the song is sung by a female singer. Sadly, I can't recognize which version it is. Maybe later I'll search for it on YT. Sweatdrop

It sounds nice when played by Vanilla Mood:

I have a couple of friends at TEB this year - I was supposed to be going myself as I saw Mao there 2 years ago live and got to meet her but work got in the way this time Crying or Very sad

.......anyway, my friend says that Mao was ON at practice today and landed some beautiful triple axels together with rock solid triple flip triple loop combo's.

As my friend didn't say - and he surely would have, I'm guessing they were rotated Smile

This is supposed to give you live coverage:

I haven't tried it myself since i'm using WebTV (WebTV also gives you a 3-day free trial period, but a just a bit more involved in terms of installation).
