Here’s a translation of Mao Shimada’s posted on Hochi News.
“For her Short Program this season, Shimada has chosen Lady Gaga’s “Americano”, and she described it as a challenging program, saying, “I’ve never used this kind of music before.” As the season progressed, she explained, “Initially, I didn’t know how to express the program. I started by being a little strong in the beginning, and towards the end, I gradually added some smiles. Lately, I’ve been focusing on skating with confidence, and I think I’ve improved a bit.”
About her goal to execute both triple axel and quad toe loop, Mao said “No matter how tired or off-form I may be, I practice to nail two major jumps without making other mistakes. To nail two big jumps in a real performance, I realized that I need more practice, so I plan to increase my training in that aspect. I don’t intend to change my program composition.”
