She could have been a true champion but she simply fell victim of statistical probablity and probably did not believe in herself much either. Hello, do not blame your Parents too easily, huh!
Another reason why you should try harder.
As a matter of fact, I have never seen any one trying harder than you. For that reason alone I wish you a bona fide chance to achieve what you believe you deserve.
But in case you aim a little bit higher, just in case, please save the Ballad and Liebestraum for the Gala Exibitions and you should probably choose more wisely.
At your level, it is not how much you practice or push to the limit, because you have been doing that for many years now. It is sad to watch a promising skater falls because of her choice of Lyra Angelica which was written for Harp and Strings and the tune of Stupid Scheherezade Tune which even Russian Skater avoided.
No one could touch her at any moment on ice because she always picked the unknown tune. By doing so she made the rink hers and hers alone until she finished her routine each and every time even for the exibition performance.
The complexity of her music is always little less than her routine, which ironically freed her technical prowess.
You too are an excellent and elegant skater but you may think you already got your proper share.
These days, however, to achieve the elusive target of reaching the Fields of Gold you have to try your best.
I would like you to listen and listen carefully the choice of music by Tara up until her NBC March 18, 2011.
See! It is only the morning show of the former Olympic Gold Medalist. But still she danced on her own tune and she looks original and more artistic than ever.
Thanks for showing me such a beatiful and wonderful program, Everytime I watch this, it makes me happy and bring me gentle feeling. She is like a fairy!!
MAO, I TRIED TO MSG U THROUGH UR JAPANESE WEBSITE. BUT MY JAPANESE IS BASIC &I COULDN'T FIND UR EMAIL. U R AN EPIC, VERY TALENTED FIGURE SKATER. I WANT TO LET YOU KNOW I'M SORRY & VERY SAD FOR YOUR MOTHER'S PASSING. I AM SURE SHE HAS NOT LEFT YOU... ONLY THAT SHE WILL FOLLOW YOU EVERYWHERE YOU ALLOW HER.

If you wanna say it's unfair or dull about her music (using same music for the last season) , you should tell Patrick Chan the same thing by all means. Because he changes only one program(SP or FP) every year.
It's ridiculous. It's not rare thing.
Mao's FP is the same music from the last season, but there are big changes of her spin positions, steps, and composition of the elements. It's very exciting to see her progress.
@Samlee780 2 years? She skated this for only this year!...(2 seasons you mean perhaps) - Many skaters don't change their pros (Patrick Chan for e.g) - Plus she did not skate well through this pro during the first season - that's why she kept it for another one - Since she is reworking her techniques - She had to be comfortable in her FS! If you see her jumps from the past season - she wasn't confident at all - but now she is - and next season, she will change her FS for sure! :)
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@Astityaoo56 yeah u r ringt that she wans't confident at all so that she's still been doing same pro to fix it...what u say is what i said and i have my idea like u do urs ONE MORE THING, OF COURSE SHE HAS TO CHANGE HER PRO NEXT SEASON otherwise, whos gonna watch that such a boring thing...
@Samlee780 I would because I do not find it boring at all! Every one is entitled to their taste! If you don't want to watch it anymore - Please don't! Good day! :)
She still has got what it takes to prove to her critics. That she's still can do the jumps no matter how troubling it may have seem to do. I still miss her triple axel.
She is an amazing figure skater!!! My favourite by a land slide!! *well besides Patrick Chan, he's my favourite male figure skater and Mao is my favourite female skater
WOW this is the best i've seen Mao skate in a long time!! so happy for her, she really pulled through here after last season. i hope she does this good at Rostlecom Cup :)
@KatrinchenOnIce How else can she become the first women to land 3 triple axels in the same competition? . Esp when it was getting close to the Olympic, knowing the lutz wasn't working in her favor. Beside she is one of a very few skater that always try to improve on everything else, her spins, spirals have always been getting better, always changing, not just this year.
Wow... that was just glorious. So zen! I love this program so much--I'm glad she kept it and that purple dress with this music reminds me so much of Natalia Mishkutenok and Artur Dmitriev.
This is a lovely, truly lovely programme, and her smile makes it even more delightful to watch :) Mao is the best and the most beautiful figure skater in the world!!!
She is back!!! This is AWESOME!!! Good for her to keep this programme because she really sells it now! When was the last time she started a season this well?
my god what a terrific skate... see this is what a light yet powerful skater is... she makes everything look so damn easy.. such a beauutiiful skater, simply magnificent... she simply became that music!

What did she think she was?
A Conductor?
Sarah was different from all other skater.
I did not think she was really a figure skater, rather a Hockey Girl.
I really thought Emily was a much better figure skater than Sarah.
More Elegant and Poised than her Sister.

At Nagano Michelle was favored and that’s why Tara did not skip the Opening Ceremony and Michelle skipped until her first day.
Let’s review their choice of music.
See only thing I can say now is that Michelle was succumbed by somber Lyra Angelica
While Tara’s Music was well her original.
You look to be qualified as the Best Skater from your homeland Ever.

Dear Miss Asada Mao;
Stay away from familiar classic tune which is too demanding. And drop any Piano Tunes.
Everyone already knows the tune and when you are compelled to do your part, as you know well by now, it magnifies your mistakes and let you slip.
I have always admired the choice of Tara which was always original and hers only.
That was one of the differences between her and Michelle.
