2026 JGP Xi'an Women's Short Program

[Jumping_Bean]

Shuxian has unfortunately been struggling to show her best skating internationally so far, which is a shame because she's a lovely skater. Still a really good score, she's pleasantly surprised.

 

[Karoltyna]

I'd say this one a solid program.

 

[Jeanie19]

Zlata. Lovely blue dress and a lovely program. Nice skate.

 

[FlossieH]

That was nice from Zlata Saprina. Yes, there were a couple of dodgy landings, but you can see her ability. She could go a long way if she stays injury free.

Decent skate for Zlata, I think the 3Lz is a fairly new-ish addition to her jumping arsenal. Minor nit-pick, I'd like to see her point her toes more on the landings.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Don't think I've seen Zlata SAPRINA (KGZ) before, but that was beautiful.

Good to see more skaters from Kyrgyzstan following in my girl Zhasmin's footsteps.

She goes into 3rd position.

i knew it was Giselle, i could smell it

 

[Azikin]

Decent skate for Zlata

Not much, considering she's Russian trained...

 

[elektra blue]

good performer, sadly her tech isn't there

 

[FlossieH]

I don't know how Isabella held some of those landings. That was a very determined skate.

 

[Jeanie19]

Isabella. Pretty dress and a nice program. A couple of mistakes, but still a good skate.

 

[Karoltyna]

The save of lutz was nice.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I really enjoyed that programme from Isabella Miel HAZELTON (PHL).

HOWEVER, I don't like that dress. It doesn't suit her.

She looks like she has potential.

Good to see a skater from Canada getting opportunities to compete internationally.

She goes into 5th position.

I don't like the dark rink and run ons.

Troubles with Mark's mic are prevailing...

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

I don't like the dark rink and run ons.

Recipe for disaster if you ask me.

Running on in skates is risky enough, but doing it in the dark to boot?!

Bring back the line-up presentations!

Ichat is back with self-consolatory fro-yo from the dentist's

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Not much, considering she's Russian trained...

It's decent for her. Her highest score is in the high 130s in the first sports category (i.e. she's never even competed in the Junior category). You'll find plenty of Russian-born and -trained skaters who also only reach this level, it's just that the competition in Russia weeds out the skaters who aren't among the top 5%, so you never see them.

He's still obsessed with Mao Shimada.
