She skated in JGP Bangkok 3 weeks ago as well, but this is her JGP debut season indeed

Thanks for correcting me. I missed the event in Bangkok, happy that Hana has 2 events!

That was beautiful. Just beautiful.

And Mark just explained why. Mok Ye-Bin choreographed it.

Such a pity about the fall.

Although the dress is pink, it does blend in with the ice. Which is always a no-no for me.

She goes into 8th position

Finally we see Mao on the ice!!!

I'm so excited for her SP, love love that she's trying something very different. Take note of her costume!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

My baby!!!!!!!!!!

My goodness, how many jumps were in that combination they showed her doing?! Five, was it?!

OK, so most of them were wee things where her feet barely left the ice. But, even so!

17 Julia VAN DIJK NED in pastel pink skates to L'amore Della Mia Vita by Arisa. Kinda reminds me of Joannie Rochette a bit. Choreo by Yebin Mok.

Julia's costume and style reminds me of Loena Hendrickx a little bit.

Or maybe I just miss Loena as I haven't seen her since worlds

Throws self into thread.

[Ichatdelune]

I am in a serious dispute with Shimada Mao's costume

 

[lileychristie]

Have I missed Hana the Aussie though?

Yes you have, and she did really really well!!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Go Swiss Eugenia!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Have I missed Hana the Aussie though?

She was amazing!

She went straight into 3rd position, and is now in 4th.

I am in a serious dispute with Shimada Mao's costume

Me too...and I don't understand how it relates to "Americano"

 

[lileychristie]

I am in a serious dispute with Shimada Mao's costume

Why? I like it, it looks great and it suits her personality.

Though, in Japanese domestic comp a few weeks ago, it had short sleeves and I think I liked it better that way. It's interesting to see the same costume with added long sleeves like that.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

A great Jpg debut from Eugenia, hopefully she keeps this momentum up in the free!

What a set of names of skaters to have in your team!

No wonder that was good!
