2025 JGP Baku Women's Short Program

[Ichatdelune]

Hmm, I don't know, the last Indian-themed program that I loved was Tara Prasad's and Tara is actually Indian and chose Tamil music IIRC

 

[tsuyoboogie]

Is Haruna injured?!...maybe ill?
She's skating very tentatively and her jumps aren't getting much lift~

very unlike her...

 

[Jeanie19]

Haruna. Beautiful dress. Pretty program and a pretty skate.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Aww she missed the podium last time because of a popped -2Lo (IIRC, but don't trust my memory) so I wanted her to have another fighting chance, ice is slippery but this drastically decreases her chances

 

[cocteautwin]

Not the best skate for Haruna but she's so watchable. It's already 10pm in Baku and I wonder if this can be a bit late to compete for those girls in last groups, they probably are not very familiar with it.

Haruna is buttery smooth across the ice. Pretty spread eagle across the diagonal before her 3Lo. Bad landing on the toeloop, but a beautiful step sequence after, with an Ina Bauer into a knee slide. She has lovely spins.

my peedictions...

Not a good day for Japanese skaters today.

Luck at the draw truly is a strong factor with the JGP circuit, you don't want to be too early and get the early group bias that some judges have even when the draw is random, you also don't want to be too late and compete at a time when you would normally be resting and/or going to bed

Well done Lilou. Beautiful spins and nice ballet choreo. A clean combo would have been great.

 

[elektra blue]

i'm back

 

[Jeanie19]

Lilou. Really pretty dress. Nice program and a good skate.

 

[cocteautwin]

my peedictions...

you are not alone

 

[Vemvane]

A good skate by Lilou. She waits patiently after the 3Lz, keeping her free leg off the ice, and gets the 2T done. Lovely extension after the 2A, and I like the knee slide after the 3Lo. She has a fantastically flexible I-spin and Biellmann.

my peedictions...

they look a lot like mines!

 

[EdgeCall]

they look a lot like mines!

Because they blew up in your face?

 

[Jeanie19]

Yuseong. Gorgeous dress. Nice program and a nice skate.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Yuseong my girl I beg of you, let's work on re-stabilizing your -3T before your 3A... I know you grew taller and puberty is kicking in and that'll mess your jumps up but your sister is managing her growth spurt and puberty much better than you are, please do whatever she's doing

Also, minor nitpick since the dress is pretty, but the design looks much more like a night with stars than a night with a bright moon

 

[cocteautwin]

Nice skate for Yuseong, not perfect technically but she looked the most calm and realxed from all of the top girls today and it worked well with this music.

because i flushed them down
