well this statement I can accept.Even if you don't think it's because of Julia it's a fear move.
We have to respect skaters especially with mao asada's caliber with her greatest achievements , yes she is capable of fear now but only with herself not with other skaters not even with the defending champion.
The only reason behind for dropping the second axel is for boosting up her score and to balance the program as her and what her coach said. so stop false speculations with no reliable proof just to degrade other skaters just to over patronize your favorite skater
