2023 World Junior Women's Free Skate

[Dr. Jenn]

Does she have different hooks on the boots?

Yeah, I am confused by that too. I kept getting distracted by the two spots (?) on her one skate.

I was just thinking "wow Jia is really killing the choreo sequence--" aand random fall

Still should be enough for at least silver though!

 

[yelyoh]

Freak fall will not keep her out of second but she was really in the hunt for Gold. Lovely skater. Not a muscular as Ami but...

 

[yelyoh]

It’s really not a fair comparison though. She wouldn’t be the US Jr Women’s champ if she had skated the way she skated here.

But they have to compete internationally so it is fair!

Jia medals still!

This group is so good!!

Before that I was going to say that although Jia performs the choreographic flourishes beautifully, there’s just a little something missing for me personally (which may come in time!) Although her flow and ease across the ice is better than Yujae’s, I felt like both Yujae and Ami looked out and up at the audience and judges more while Jia looked more focused on the elements.

What's current Junior Women's FS record score?

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I legitimately did not realize that was a 4T until the score came up, it looked so easy

 

[kimganos]

Jaw dropping! World Champion! Not Juniors!!

From her JGPs til now that's a great step

 

[mirai4life]

Holy shit. The nerves. That perfect spin. Slay girl!!!!!

 

[invisiblespiral]

Clean FS from Mao.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Wow - That was amazing!! Mao is such a star, with so many similarities to her namesake. I love, love, love her jumping technique, and she has a lovely presence on the ice. Excellent job!!

 

[Jeanie19]

Mao. Pretty dress. This was amazing.
