2025 JGP Abu Dhabi Women's Short Program

Gorgeous dress for Fang-Ning LEE TPE.
Her presentation is light and frothy like a cotton candy.

Interesting to see 3 swing/jazz-adjacent programs back to back, but it did keep me awake

Fang-ning also got a gorgeous dress, and pretty good skate to close off this segment

Well, that was a fun programme to end the competition with!

But LEE Fang-Ning (TPE) looks sad waiting for her results.

She goes into 27th position.

i'm going to travel back in time to the 90s while i wait for our weekly dose of cactus needles

Since the Ladies stream has just ended, I hope they show the Opening Ceremony on the Men's stream.

I want to see the camels on the ice!

Wow, so far I actually got 1-5 all correct except for position 2 - Jiyu got swapped by Sofia

Oh well, if the standings stay like this after the free I still get 60 points, not bad

As it turned out, the person sitting across from me had a loud phone and the people sitting behind me were chatting loudly...I could only hear the music at max volume and it was getting downed out anyway...

I have 6 of the top 7 - not in correct order now but we will see...

had to stop watching for a little to get up and ready for the day but ive just finished watching the rest of the programs! The main skaters I was rooting for got top 15 im so glad so excited for the free skate later this week

 

[yuumagical]

Now I'm ready to watch some more skating!

Gotta love the judging, however.

Von Felten URs, gets GoEs of -3.66.
Youn URs, gets GoE of - 1.43.
Shimada URs, gets GoEs of -0.56.

And, at least 3 skaters who merely had a q on this event drew a GoE of -0.9 something.

Ooooh I don't think I've seen an Egyptian skater before!

Hannah Dabees, who skated on the JGP for a few seasons, was the first Egyptian skater in the ISU. Her confidence and musicality improved so much during those seasons, and her final SP to Egyptian pop was lovely. Great to see another Egyptian following Hannah on to the world stage

Shifrin really delivered, but my absolute favorite was Gurgenidze with yet another quirky program that makes me wait for her each outing with so much anticipation. Bath also bringing her best game, and she always looks so powerful. Also, Samiri's spins were real cool.
