Mao Asada performed a strong, solid and flawless program which led her to win the gold medal. Skating to the Bells of Moscow by Rachmaninov,
she started off her free program with a beautiful triple Axel followed by a triple Axel/double toe-loop combination.
The second triple Axel was downgraded, though.
Mao was the first woman to execute a triple Axel in the Olympic Games since
her compatriot Midori Ito landed one in the 1992 Olympic Games in Albertville.
She skated with good speed and determination. Her spins and the spiral sequence were beautiful.
On the whole she gave a lovely, elegant and passionate performance.
She fully deserved to be the World Champion.
