Shin Ji-ah, a 15-year-old figure skating prospect, climbed to second place with a personal best score in the short program at the Junior World Championships, challenging her first win since Kim Yuna.
Jia Shin soared to the melody of her short program song ‘The Giving’바카라사이트.
She started off with a triple lutz-triple toe loop jump, and earned extra points on all three jumps, including a double axel and a triple loop.
Shin Ji-ah, who finished her performance with graceful steps and spins, rose to second place with a personal best score of 71.19 points.
With only 0.59 point difference between No. 1 Mao Shimada and Japan, it is worth aiming for a comeback in the free skating tomorrow (4th).
Shin Jia, who won the silver medal in this event last year, is challenging her first gold medal in 17 years since Kim Yu-na this time.
