2025 JGP Ankara Women's Short Program

she was doing so well

Every time I read manhwas supposedly set in european-like setting, I'm amazed by the names. Maximillian for female lead, Darya for male lead (but this manhwa was overall quite shitty)... surnames are other topic, adding von or de to random peasant surname is hilarious. I'm huge fan of manhwa that took random names of polish cities and made them into noble names - Dark Prince Krakuff is something else.

Oh lord Underneath the Oak Tree is absolutely awful with naming conventions, I also had so many facepalms while reading... (I read the original novel but the names are the same so) I have so, so, soooooo many beef with Korean writers/webtoon artists not doing their research on their stories set in those vaguely European worlds, I get that most of their intended audience are Koreans who don't know and don't care but I DO GAAAAHHHH

 

[Karoltyna]

What a pretty dress I see.

 

[Vemvane]

A delicately‑skated programme from Yun. Nice 3T‑2T to start, and a good 2Lo as well. Pretty little falling leaf and spiral between the spin and axel, ouch on the fall. Loved the loop in her step sequence, and the foot down on the ice afterwards.

 

[crystalspin]

Really pretty and solid skate for Yun Xue. That fall on axel was hard. But she bounced back.

 

[Jeanie19]

Yun. Beautiful dress. Nice program and skate.

 

[FlossieH]

That was a pretty skate from Yun Xue, but not her day with the jumps.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Oh dear, that was a very hard fall on the 2A, she just slipped on the take-off. I assume that is not an issue for her normally, because her other jumps look so nice in the air, just a bit off today.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Xue Yun in a Shcherbakova dress lookalike, I think I'm reminded of one of her junior programs but can't remember which

 

[TallyT]

But she bounced back.

Brave little girl, she kept going and I thought that she was lovely.

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Skate your best, Haruna!
GANBA!

the sound of silence is such a nice idea

They also create french-german-italian-whatever sounding names of countries that I can't even imagne how to pronounce and I can pronounce words in quite many european languages even if I don't know what they mean

 

[TallyT]

Oh this dress is lovely (I will not go on and on about covers, I will not I will not... yes I will )

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Haruna looks so different with blonde hair, but it somehow suits her. I don't like this cover, but that was a very good skate for Haruna, well done.

 

[FlossieH]

Much more secure technically than last year for Murakami.

I googled this… Wow!

This version certainly isn't. This singer and orchestra is murdering it!

Give me Simon & Garfunkel or Disturbed any day.

Nevertheless, a beautiful skate to it from Haruna.

[Ichatdelune]

Godawful cover but wonderful job
