I think Mia Zeng (first after the SP in Advanced Novices) might be the daughter of Weina Zhang (Chinese Olympic Ice Dancer).

She moved to Australia after retiring from skating and had three kids with her husband, one of which is named Mia.
Fun fact: Weina Zhang's cousin, Tina Wang was also a competitive figure skater for Australia. Looking at Mia's IG page, she indeed tags both Tina Wang and Weina Zhang as her coaches.

Mia was probably born in 2012 (Her sister was born in 2008, and per her mum's Wikipedia page, she was born 4 years later), so she's not turning Jr eligible next season yet, but she's showing quite a lot of promise - She has landed 3Lz, 3F and 3Lo in competition and is even attempting 3-3 combinations

(Here's her SP from Nationals - And wow, her skating skills are amazing for her age. )

Wow, Mia is definitely the one to watch for the future - Her 3F+3Lo attempt looked better than the scores would indicate, which is mostly down to missing rotation on both the 3F and the 3Lo.

Congrats to her
