AFP is reporting that Mao Asada will be training with Tatiana Tarasova as well (we reported earlier that Lysacek will be working with the famed coach/choreographer).

"She will design a programme just for me. That means a lot," Asada told a press conference at the airport in central Aichi prefecture as she returned from Canada.

Vancouver will be Asada's first Olympics because she was three months too young to be eligible for the Turin Games.

Asada will be based at the skating facilities of Chukyo University in Aichi prefecture while travelling frequently to Moscow, she said.
