Chiba elegantly and carefully suppresses Ignatova V - Cup of China figure

Chiba performed with almost no mistakes. I guess I was finally freed from anxiety. After the performance ended, I couldn't stop crying.

Chiba Momone wins, third GP win, Ignatova second - Cup of China Figures

In the second half of her performance, she slightly under-rotated her triple Lutz, the first of three consecutive jumps, but that was her mistake. He performed each element (acting element) carefully and steadily.

The free song is "Moonlight". Performances with an elegant atmosphere are Chiba's specialty. The choreography also incorporated movements similar to contemporary dance. His expressiveness was highly praised, and his acting component score was tops overall.

I was upset when Ignatova from Russia was moved up to participate. The venue was also away. During the six-minute practice just before the performance, which she skated in the same final group, she almost got drowned out by the loud cheers for Ignatova, but ``I reminded myself that this was my competition and was able to concentrate during the actual performance.''

By perfecting the program, they were able to compete on an equal footing with the highly skilled Russian team. ``I will attack in my own way so that I can bring out my strengths to the fullest in this program.'' He seemed to have gained more confidence.
