2025 JGP Ankara Women's Short Program

Such a shame about that combo for Yu-Feng.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Aside from the combo it was quite lovely, I approve

 

[DemTuppesSeine]

She's a beautiful skater, shame about the combo

Yu-Feng. Elegant black dress. Nice program. So sad about the opening combo, but the rest was so good.

 

[Mariiiiskate]

Yu-Feng has a stunning black dress

Shame about the popped combo, it will cost her especially as she was a medal contender but she recovered nicely from it

While the music might be overused, this a very nice program for her and she preforms it well.

Yu Feng is definitely giving me the senior vibes Ted and Mark remarked on. Her interpretation and performance are lovely, and she really goes high and low with her upper body throughout. Well done to her for getting a combination done even with the pop on the lutz, what determination, and a cool head. First level 4 step sequence, I think, and well-deserved.

in English, names ending in "a" are not really sounding that masculine... even with such a hard consonant or the reference to the masculine equivalent.

Andrea in English wouldn't be thought of as a male name, yet it is in Italian.

Mamie no disrespect but I am a writer, I actually obssess over names of all sorts... I know that English speakers will default to feminine when faced with an a-ending but some names are the exception, for instance Ezra is firmly masculine. And Andrea is pronounced differently in English than Italian, you know that

Sorry.. i am still stuck on the Lucca thing.

Loucas in French : like Loucas Éthier. Silent S. Pronouced like Luca or Lucca

Lucas in English, the S is not silent. The A is not so much an open A either... so it's almost like lookess sounding.. so in the end the Lucca for a girl is much less harsh..

I'm struggling to think if any male names in English which end with an a...

Ach, I didn't see Yu-Feng because my Dad came in playing a video on his phone and stuck it in front of my face to show me it.

Can he not see that I'm watching something?!

All I can really comment is that she was wearing a gorgeous black dress.

WOW... She looks like a ballerina on ice... so elegant. Strong back but nice arch.. divine, expressive arms and hands, pointed toes

 

[Jumping_Bean]

True, I had to look up whether that was a real person or not... personally I'm not a fan of giving girls such a masculine name (it feels like the parents didn't want the child to be a girl) but who am I to judge

This can be a cultural difference, though. Luca/Lucca might be strictly male in some countries, but unisex in others (or even female).
For example, Luca seems to be mainly used as a feminine name in Croatia and Hungary.

Dana, Joshua, Elijah, Noah... etc

Beautiful skate for Yujae.

[elektra blue]

[Mariiiiskate]

A great skate from Yujae

I really loved the ending of this program, her dress is so pretty

Yujae. Gorgeous dress and a gorgeous program. Great skate. All greens.

 

[FlossieH]

Dana.

That's either American or Irish (not sure which), not English.
