At the Chukyo University Aurora Arena in Toyota City in Aichi prefecture in August 8th, Japan Skating Federation (JSF) exhibited the summer training camp for "Tokubetsu Kyouka Sennshu" or "the player to aim at strengthening a skill specially" in Japan to the media.
Mao Asada (19, Chukyo University) who won the championship in the Worlds in March exhibited for the first time the training with Hiroshi Nagakubo who had become the coach of jumps for Mao officially from this June.
She was training repeatedly thoroughly the jump being redoing from the beginning. As for three kinds of jumps which contain the triple-Axel which is her main weapon, she jumped more than 30 times in total.
Like as Nagakubo coach said, "It became pretty good, but there is not stability yet", the number of the jumps which succeeded on this day was about 10 times below the half of all jumps.
As for the program of this season, Asada said, "I can not train yet in its entirely because the jump does not complete".
Main coach who watches the whole, too, hasn't been decided yet.
Aiming at the opening of the season in October, the desperate fight of the Worlds Champion continues.
