		Miki Ando Pros: Miki has superior jumping ability (she's still the only woman to have landed a quad salchow in competition), captivating gentle programs, high-level spins and a good spiral step sequence.
		Cons: Miki needs to increase the difficulty of her footwork sequences, and she also needs to ensure that the final jumps of her sequences are fully rotated.
		Miki has also said she will be changing her program for the Olympics to use more powerful music to show off her jumps.

		Miki Ando landed 3Axel cleanly and fully rotated.
		Ando's 3axel attempts that I witnessed during JGP Montreal practices last September looked pretty close (two-footed but pretty much fully rotated).
		So, I would guess that Miki Ando, Mai Asada and Aki Sawada will be 3 of the Japanese ladies assigned to Junior Grand Prix this fall (Mao Asada won't turn 13 until this fall and has to wait until the fall of 2004 to compete as a junior internationally).
