2025 JGP Ankara Women's Short Program

I love her personality on the ice! Such a shame about fall and popped jump. She is definitely a skater to keep their eye on.

That wasn't the performance she wanted to deliver

 

[Karoltyna]

On the first page here it's said she was using Layla... I can hear bits of that in it.

I definetly heard Layla...

 

[FlossieH]

Oh dear. That really wasn't the skate Minsong Kim wanted. Very costly jump errors. She will probably still make the top half of the ranking based on her PCS, but she is so much better than that.

Renee. Pretty dress and program. Good skate.
. I hope she makes it to Junior Worlds.

I hope so too!

 

[Ichatdelune]

... I knew she was extremely nervous just by her expression during her starting pose, when the first toe was tilted I expected a fall but the loop... (deep sigh) rally with the free my girl, your free is a gem and I truly hope and wish that you'll able to show the world what a star you are

omg... this is so awful... Chopin is already dead... do not kill him again

But the Spanish interpretation of Eric Clapton's "Layla" within it.

Sorry, but I enjoyed that.

An enjoyable performance from Minsong, jumps don't matter. She has beautiful arm carriage and hands when focusing on the choreography. She generates plenty of speed, and I liked the spread eagle-Ina Bauer-2A. Unfortunate popped loop, but she goes straight into a level 4 layback with a spread eagle out. She has a dynamic step sequence as well.

Minsong. Beautiful red dress. Nice program. Shame about the jumps, but she never gave up.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

probably have heard her but wouldn't be able to tell what or when She may be Belgian but she does sing with this French style... more of a spoken voice instead of very lyrical singing... French (and I guess now Belgians too LOL) have a long tradition of these singers. For instance Vanessa Paradis... Quebec singers are usually singing big... not saying they have better songs though LOL but yeah I don't like the small voices. Voilà

This style might not show it off very well, but Mentissa has a big voice. She has some songs that show this off a little better. I do think this singing style is probably much easier on the vocal chords, though, especially for singers who might not have much classical training, even if it might not be to our tastes as much.

(There are unfortunately so many singers with great voices who have questionable technique and completely ruined their voices.)

What an amazing spinner !

 

[FlossieH]

Pretty skate from Sofia Lamprinou

 

[TallyT]

Unusual and lovely dress and of course I adore the music even if the different cut discombobulates

What they are saying about the small rink she has to practice on explains quite a bit.

 

[Vemvane]

A good skate from Sofia! A pretty penché spiral as she heads around the corner for the 2A. Shows off her flexibiity in her Y-spin, and the Biellmann in her layback. The first cantilever I've seen today. An unusual raised knee position for the twizzles at end of her step sequence. She's fast and determined, imagine what she could do with more ice time!

 

[Ichatdelune]

I need my Earl Grey pave chocolate right now for me to not fall into a depressive slump, Minsong's Layla (I refuse to call it Chopin) is so fun and energetic when clean..... her Cirque du Soleil free is one of my favorite of our junior women's and I desperately need her to end first and only JGP with a smile

 

[Jeanie19]

Sofia. Gorgeous purple dress. Really good program. Really nice spins.

 

[Jumping_Bean]

Oh, I remember liking Sofia last season. It must be so difficult to adjust from such a small rink to a full-sized one.
PB by 4 points for her.

 

[crystalspin]

Really enjoyed that from Sofia! Good job.

 

[EdgeCall]

Thai names vs. Ted Barton: 572 : 0

 

[TallyT]

I know this name! (Hard to forget actually) As I recall she is adorable.
