Sorry I don't know why these double and triple posts are happening.
Audio link is not yet posted on IceNetwork.@mirai_nagasu will decide whether to do triple axel #USChamps17 after Kansas City practices: "I’ve just started to land them cleanly" 1/2
She is running through program with the triple axel, so she is prepared: "I want to put it all out there" #USChamps17
Mirai's 3A on TomZ's instagram looks the best ever from her!
She is finally getting deep enough in the knee when she goes on the LOF

2nd one was GORG!
If she layed down the first one tho in competition... what would the score be for that??? Would we see a lot of -2 ??????? To me an eye soar like that would have -GOE no?
If successful Mirai then could become the 3rd American woman to do this at the USA Nats??That eye sore would still be worth 2 points more than a 2A.

Harding, Meissner and then maybe her?
And she still might do that? However I don't think she should continue to push it off if it is one of her goals. She tired it last year in a senior b and missed it badly and it really affected the whole program but she wasn't landing them that well in practice in the first place last year from the clips we saw.I was never a big Mirai fan until this year when I sensed a new maturity in her skating - she's caught up with her body. The lines, the musicality - lovely. Wouldn't it be better to focus on clean 3's and 3-3's for nationals? With Polina sitting out she has a great chance to get back on the podium. This would really boost her confidence to go to Worlds. If she misses the 3A at nationals it could throw off her whole program - and guess what, 4th place again. Experiment with the 3A at 4CC.

It would not just be a personal victory. She would get a lot of attention.... and expectations and pressure. I just dont know if she is mentally tough enough for that.Mirai has been wanting to land the 3A in competition for a long time. I think it would mean a lot for her personal goals if she got a ratified 3A. I can remember her, when she was still a wunderkind, asking Mao Asada the secret to the 3A in front of the media, and Mao playfully saying, " Well, if you practice it every day . . ."
ETA: It was in this interview, but the version I saw had subtitles.

Yikes, that ended with worst babbling reporter I've ever heard.
I felt bad for the last reporter I understood what they were trying to ask or point out but I also understand why Mirai was confused. I don't think they were saying Mirai was worse at NHK, I think they were saying the opposite and that her spins looked faster.
