Access to the final is now 95% sure for Mai Mihara, who repeated her place of honor in Bratislava over the significant threshold of 180 points. The sixteen-year-old from Kobe, who was in the lead after the short program, has been distinguished by the quality of the spins losing the chance to establish itself because of a double instead of triple Rittberger completed. The end of the free program, however, included two double axel and triple completed six, including two lutz. The podium was completed by Da Bin Choi, who was able for the first time in his career to break down the wall of 170 points. The fifteen-year-old from Seoul was flawless on the technical side, as witnessed by the two double axel and seven triple jumps well executed and the spins have earned the highest level available. Afterwards it finished the Russian Diana Pervushkina, the author of the personal best despite being called on short notice to replace Serafima Sakhanovich.

Mia Roberts is not a typical 12-year-old. While friends around her Millsboro, Delaware, home hit the beach this summer, Mia was almost two hours away and definitely not in summer attire. She was living with a host family in Newark, Delaware, and skating at The Pond Ice Arena. That’s because Mia is a dedicated figure skater whose skills are dependent on how hard she is willing to work and focus, according to her coaches. “At this age — the 12-, 13-year old age — they’re still trying to figure it out,” head coach Kim Seybold-Catron said. “With Mia, I think she’s a strong skater. She’s a tall girl ... she’s a strong, powerful skater.” Making it to the Olympics is the goal. “We realize that it happens for one out of every hundreds of thousands,” Tracie Roberts said. “but we’re trying to put in the time and the effort to achieve that goal at some point.” Learning to do the axle — one-and-a-half rotations in the air — took seven months to a year. The main factor was that she didn’t believe she could do it. “It’s actually pretty much 75 percent mental because if you tell yourself, ‘I’m never going to land this jump,’ or you just have all these thoughts in your head and you don’t really think about what you’re doing that’s really the problem,” Mia said. With her confidence higher than ever, Mia is ready to take the next step.
