Hi Elliot,

It is me, Aaron Minocha which posted that message. I heard the rumour about
Maria doing the triple loop/triple toe in her SP and her triple axel in her
LP from the Maria Butyrskaya Fan Forum (Bulletin Board.)

Tony Wheeler, the moderator for the board posted the message in a thread
called "Rumours about Maria for the 2001 season!"

Here is the link to the thread:

If it doesn't work, go to
www.butyrskaya.org

There will be a heading reading latest news, then click on the Maria
Butyrskaya Fan Forum link which will list the subjects. Then click on the
link for the thread I already mentioned.

Tony also wrote that she may use the combo (3 loop/3 toe) in her SP and LP.

Man, I am so proud of Maria for looking to improve the technical difficluty
of her programs. She has superb presentation, and I know she will have a
great season.

Let's all wish Maria good luck!
Aaron Minocha

Subject: [butyrskaya] Maria's SP combination for next season
Date: Fri, 11 Aug 2000 09:28:46 -0400


Hi all,

In a thread about "Ladies triple axel & quad rumors", Aaron MB Fan
(which of the Aarons is this?) posted the following:

"I am not totally positive of this info, it is just info I have heard.
I have heard that Maria Butyrskaya is practicing the triple axel, and
is planning on including her 3 axel in her long program.

Also, I have heard that Maria is planning a 3 loop/3 toe as her SP
combo with a 3 lutz as her solo triple."

Aaron, can you tell us where you heard this exciting news? Has anyone
else heard the same? It would definitely be great if either or both
bits of information were true. If Maria is planning the 3 loop/3 toe
as her SP combo, hopefully she is planning to use it in her LP as well
so that she has plenty of opportunities to practice it in competition
during the season and is landing it consistently for Russian
Nationals, Europeans, and Worlds.

Any news on the music for Maria's programs next year?
Go Maria!


Regards,

Elliot
