2026 JGP Xi'an Women's Short Program

Dzepka dished out a lesson in figure skating. Not even her best, but she's so far ahead of everyone else. Dzepka uses every part of her body and all blends together so cohesively.

One judge gave a 6.5 for composition this person needs to be stood down.

I do prefer last season's short program, but it's only August so under prepared, and much bigger challenges than any ISU competition awaits such as the bloodbath that will be the Russian championships.

Most enjoyable performance at ISU junior level since early this decade.

That was really very good technically. I think PCS might pull her down a little bit because the performance skills aren't quite there yet. She has enormous potential.

It was so far ahead of anything at ISU senior let alone junior level.

The Netherlands' competitor was super energetic. I liked that.

Did you mean 'hating on' her dress was rough, or that the dress itself was?

Because critiquing costumes has been a part of the sport since long before either of us was born, and it really was a bad one (not that that will affect her marks, Nathan Chen, just to name one, had a stellar career wearing costumes made from furniture fabric offcuts.)

I feel like the grammar is really obvious that I am saying her dress is rough... AT FIRST I thought people were hating for the sake of it BUT...

She did well, but I genuinely believe she is capable of more expression. I think people on this thread had high expectations for what she can do, rather than hating on her.

Nobody was hating on her anyways...

I said myself it's not her best work. I know she is capable of more.

Will it be possible to see the first part of JW SP? The stream starts with #16 Wada.
