The Junior Grand Prix Final ended with the performance of figure skaters in free skating programs.
Yoo Seong Kim from Korea successfully performed a triple axel in her performance, while Japan’s Ami Nakai also attempted this jump but fell.
Another Japanese competitor, Mao Shimada, demonstrated a triple axel and a quadruple tulup.
After the competition, Mao Shimada shared her impressions of winning the Junior Grand Prix Final.
“I am very happy that I was able to win for the second time in a row at the Junior Grand Prix Final. I decided to give my best today and that was the most important thing for me. My performance yesterday wasn’t the best, and neither was my morning practice today. But I decided to challenge myself, and I’m glad I did it. As for my fourth jump, I think it turned out pretty well,” commented Shimada.
