2025 JGP Bangkok Women's Short Program

Leyli. Pretty dress. Nice program and skate.

 

[EdgeCall]

Born in Japan, living in Germany, coached by Russians and skating for Azerbaijan. Figure skating is truly international.

Beautiful! Great skate!

Darja could use a little more height in the jumps.

 

[flanker]

Seems like Darja from Finland is the only girl from the whole group who has no skating touch with Russia (at least no touch I am aware of).

Darja took lip singing on ice to another level. Great performance, good for her.

Mao is in the next group.

 

[cocteautwin]

Very pink Mao, that's a nice costume (even for pink-hater me)

Mao already "outshined" Viktoria.

[elektra blue]

why they insist on giving her this childish look, why? barbie swing really? didn't they have a better idea?

I actually love the pink - and nothing else about it.

 

[labgoat]

I seem to recall Mao Asada skating in bright pink early on as well.

You really can never go wrong with Sing sing sing
She is just utterly charming

I think they are trying to position her as the next superstar in Japan. Cute (and pink) is probably a good choice for that.

And now another chapter in the glorious return of Maoism!
