Xiangyi Ann competed at the Chinese National Winter Games.
Team event 1st (SP)
SP 1st
- She landed her 2A, 3Lo and backloaded 3T 3T in both her short programs to win these two segments. Her new program is to Voila
FP 3rd
- Unfortunately, she just doesn’t have the technical content to compete with some of the youngsters. She went for 2A 3T, 3S 3T combos where I think the 3T is q and <. She also picked the triple loop combo as her duplicate triple. 3Lo 2T and 3Lo. She is fine with her solo 2A. However, she went for a 3Lz and fell and under rotated that jump. Also, she purposely went for a 2F. So, no 3F or 3Lz for Xiangyi. But, this was a much better result for her. She came in 2nd overall behind a 12 year old skater who scored 68 in TES competed to Xiangyi 58 in TES. But, this second place might have earned her a spot to Senior Worlds . Overall score was 181.77.
Also, the top two girls in the junior event were

. Winner was at 190+. Second was 180+ and third was 160+. It is a shame the top two can’t go to Junior Worlds. They would have challenged for top ten spots. They are so good.
I only watched Senior Women as Xiangyi was my only interest.
Very good event. With very fair judging
