However, it is clearly set in the first two races sailed, Mao Asada does not want to leave no stone unturned'' in tracking the coveted Olympic title that is missing on the bulletin board

The ventitrenne of Nagoya, unbeaten in the Rostelecom Cup Grand Prix in November, 2011, would be decided to add a second triple axel in the free program this season, choreographed by Tatiana Tarasova to the tune of "Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No.2" by Sergei Rachmaninof.
Precisely in this regard, is working together with one of the assistants of the Russian factotum to try to better accommodate the new element'' s internal "disk".
From what has been leaked, it seems that Asada is completing training in the triple axel with significant percentages (they say'' s around 80%) and would feel rather quiet in front of the'' opportunity to present twice in the race.
In fact, as the most attentive remember well, it would be a film already seen. In fact, the free program presented in the Olympic Games of 2010 included two triple axels, one of the two inevitably in combination with a double toe loop.
At the moment, we do not know which element should leave room for the leap second triple axel, but after carefully studying the situation, it is assumed that the combination shall be set aside triple flip / double Rittberger, currently second element of the free program.
Whereas Regulation in hand, one of the two triple axels, have to be combined, the Japanese figure skater would still have two options to hook a double toe loop.
At this point, would open two alternative. In one case, could replace the triple lutz, jump taken by an evident inner wire, with a triple flip. In the second scenario, the most strategically advisable, may eliminate the triple salchow, performed in the second half of the music, replacing it with a triple flip.

The second alternative would leave you prefer, partly because the lutz has a base value greater than the salchow, but mostly because, presenting two triple flip in the second half of the disc, Asada could decide, depending on the'' landing first triple flip, where to place the combination of three jumps.
65.86 - And'' the technical basis of current free spins and steps to level four.
67.86 - And the tencico'' basic'' s alternative 1 with spins and steps to level four.
69.77 - And the tencico'' basic'' s alternative 2 with spins and steps to level four.
One of the reasons for the decision to include the combination triple axel / double toe loop instead of the current'' triple flip / double Rittberger is definitely linked to the awareness of not being able to present a combination of triple flip / triple Rittberger clean.
