Nice job. First skater and already Kaori inspiration is here.

Chen. Really pretty dress. Great debut. Wonderful home crowd.

Is it just me or the audio is lagging waaaaay behind?

it's not you, same here

 

[Karoltyna]

Ok, she has so many qualities, but some steps are shaky, as expected from 13 yo.

Cute little Chinese girl, check.
Édith Piaf, check.
Beautiful skating, check.

Yep, the Junior GP Series has started!

I enjoyed that from JIN Chen Xi (CHN)

A great start to the competition!

Is it just me or the audio is lagging waaaaay behind?

I noticed that when Ted's pre-recorded introduction was on at the start. His voice was not anywhere near in sync with his lips.

Cen. Great bodysuit. Really good program and cartwheel. Nice skate.

First Chinese girl delivered well. Taiwan girl had some troubles but she has potential.

Great start to the girls' Short with Chen Xi The Ina Bauer+2A was really nice. Well done.

(I also need a small minority of people to understand that there are no more weak fields in Junior women's on the JGP circuit. Even if there are fewer "big", established names or standout skaters, the depth of the Jr Women's field doesn't allow for a truly weak field - And mistakes are even more costly when a larger number of girls are so close in scoring potential.)

Shuxian jiayooooh

First Chinese girl delivered well. Taiwan girl had some troubles but she has potential.

She has very long limbs, it may take her a little while to sort out how to work with them, but it will be impressive when she does.

 

[elektra blue]

a bit stiff and doesn't have the flare to pull this music off yet, shame on the mistake

 

[FlossieH]

That layback position was incredible. I'm not convinced that programme suits her, though.

 

[Jeanie19]

Shuxian. Really pretty dress. Fun program and skate.

 

[elektra blue]

she got a crown!

 

[Karoltyna]

A nice program, but combo will cost her. I hate badreography.

Not me wondering why did first chinese girl broke 60 and realizing they've finally upped value of non-jumping elements...

When I saw JIN Shuxian (CHN);s dress, I was expecting her to be skating to Stravinsky’s "Firebird". And we got the sound of 1920's America instead.

Not that I'm complaining. I actually loved the programme.

As for the skating, it wasn't perfect. But once it is polished, this is going to be such an impressive programme.

Looking forward to when we next see her.

Beautiful flower crown.

She goes into 2nd position. And is delighted.
