Mao Asada (Qian Tian  Zhen Yang , Asada Mao, born September 25, 1990) is a former Japanese competitive figure skater. She is the 2010 Olympic silver medalist, a three-time World champion (2008, 2010, 2014), a three-time Four Continents champion (2008, 2010, 2013), and a four-time Grand Prix Final champion (2005-06, 2008-09, 2012-13, 2013-14).

2010-11 season
In September 2010, Nobuo Sato became Asada's new coach and Asada ended her relationship with coach Nagakubo.  After the Vancouver Olympics, Asada decided to relearn all of her jumps from scratch by getting back to basics. This contributed to her slump in the 2010-11 and 2011-12 seasons. Under the guidance of her new coach Nobuo Sato, she stripped her triple jumps to their rudimentary parts and relearned each takeoff and landing, beginning with a single rotation. While reworking her jumps, Asada did not skip any competitions in the 2010-11 season.  Asada was assigned to the 2010 NHK Trophy and the 2010 Trophee Eric Bompard ISU Grand Prix events.
