I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I had a W O N D E R F U L day!!!!
first, there was the ladies practises at 8:00 and Mao skated in the second group along with Yukari Nakano, Nana Takeda, Leslie Hawker, Joannie Rochette and Cynthia Phaneuf. When she came on the ice, I put Aero Chan on my knee so she could see it ( we were really near the ice!). She did awesome in practice. She practiced a lot of edges and then she did jumps. She didn't fell on any jumps. They were so light. She did beautiful triple flip triple loop and also triple flip triple toe (some were 2 footed) combinations. I really like her new free program. Also, it seems like she is going to attempt only one triple axel with brackets(the same as last year) although she did do any jump in her program. She's really elegant and musical, I like it a lot!! Then she practiced triple axels, She 2 footed some of them but I remember seeing one clean!
When the practice finished said to Mao to come to see me and I asked her is she could sign my skate (I was shacking because I was so nervous). She responded "Sure" with a little voice. That was really nice. We took a picture together and then she was about to leave and my mother said to me that I forgot to give her the gift I bought for her (2 little skates with "quebec" written on it and a picture with the address of my website on it). She was very happy she said to me many time "thank you so much"... I was shacking... I couldn't believe it!!
After, we went where all the skaters leave the backstage and we waited for more autograph. Skaters after Skaters, we saw many of them and got a lot of autograph...and finally Mao appeared with a lot of camera all around her and she was smiling as always. This time she signed my aero chan on his skate and I think she was really happy to see that a canadian has it! All the journalist from japan were also impressed they were like "ohh Aero!!" and they filmed me so maybe you'll find a video of me on youtube
Here is a list of the skaters who gave me autographs: Mao, Yukari Nakano, Nana Takeda, Joannie Rochette, Cynthia Phaneuf, Vaugh Chipper, Cristopher Mabee and Jeffrey Buttle.

Hope you enjoyed my report!!
