2025 JGP Ankara Women's Short Program

Great opening combo for Deniz! Pretty solid skate. I quite enjoyed all the turkish skaters today

Deniz. Pretty dress. Nice program and skate.

 

[Vemvane]

Different program construction in this skate, with the jumps all done at the start. Deniz begins with the combination, has a three turn out of the axel but keeps the foot off the ice, and finishes her jumps with a 2Lo, before heading into the spins, with the step sequence placed during the big musical build. She appears to be pretty quick across the ice.

Davai Stefania!

 

[crystalspin]

Stefania was the breakout star last season and good to see her still doing just as well. Really lovely skater to watch. Good combination of technical skill and performance skills. Such a shame about the last spin mistake.

 

[elektra blue]

oh no damn spin! she was perfect till then

 

[flanker]

Ouch, such a stupid mistake

 

[readernick]

Panova always produces the best packaging in Russia. But, she still has her work cut out here. I do like a lot of Stefania's qualities but she's not a performer yet.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Stefania looks so grown-up now. She's really showing all of the best qualities of Panova's skaters right here, such a shame about the fall on the spin, that was so unusual for her.

 

[EdgeCall]

OUCH! What was that?! It was so exquisite, until the final spin.

 

[FlossieH]

What a shame about the fall on the combo spin. I fear she might have invalidated it. She should still place well, though, and can come back in the free.

 

[Ichatdelune]

I was distracted (spoilers for my darling's programs just dropped) but oof it was going so well until that final spin

 

[elektra blue]

and now Ted is your moment, the moment i've been looking forward to...don't chicken out, don't twist your tongue...

 

[Jeanie19]

Stefania. Beautiful red dress. Good program. So sad about the last spin, but otherwise a really good skate.

 

[Vemvane]

What an intense programme for Stefania ‑ the choreography is packed with details at the start and in between the elements, with barely a moment for her to breathe. She has really rapid rotation in the sit spin. Rippon 3Lz‑3T, and a pretty layback ending in an extended Biellmann. Oof, down on the spin entrance, what a shock at the end.

 

[FlossieH]

Same coaches as Ilia...

 

[elektra blue]

better than Tzimpoukakis Ted...

 

[Jumping_Bean]

The Free Skate will be another nailbiter - So many skaters so close together, so many skaters who have a history of inconsistency, ... Anything can happen.

Please let Judy Garland sleep in her grave

What kind of cover is that? First asthmatic and then caterwauling.
