Xiangyi. Beautiful dress really good skate.

Even though this program is not my cup of tea, Nini looks solid and strong! Backloaded 3S-3T and that final bi-directional spin

 

[Jeanie19]

Hiu. Pretty dress. Good skate.

 

[lileychristie]

Hiu Yau, too bad about the 3S fall, but she fought till the end and I like her program. Surprisingly I don't mind this dramatic cover of Survivor

Does Asian trophy count for the Technical minimum for Worlds 2025 ?

If yes ! Xiangyi An could gain it with this competition. She is well start with this high SP score with 36 in technical element.

It does. She needs 53.32 TES in the free to make the CTES minimums. Based on her domestic results on SkatingScores, that looks possible

Just a note - lots of fans have been taking high quality close up videos, so I expect some videos to appear on YouTube/other sites once all the fans go home!!

Sihyeong and Daiwei skated particularly well!!

A redemption skate for Mako I don't love the music, but she skated really well to it. The choreo sequence is really well musically phrased.

 

[Jeanie19]

Mako. Beautiful dress. Lovely program and skate.

 

[lileychristie]

MAKO AMAZING!!!!

2 3Lz+3T!!!

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

Well done Mako looks like she is really happy with how that went I really liked it.

I also find it interesting that the judges are sitting in the corner here instead of in the middle of the long side of the rink. The camera crews got the best view now since skaters perform to the usual place of the judges

I wonder if this makes the skater nervous when they do a jump in that judges' corner though, since the judges will have a much better view of the jump
