At the Summer Sizzler, Maxim Naumov skated his new short program to Nocturne No. 20 by Frédéric Chopin choreographed by Benoit Richaud. It is one of the best programs Naumov has ever had. It was phenomenally skated. For me, the best program of the night.

Jimmy Ma did his Firebird short program at the Summer Sizzler. Omitted the combo but did solo jumps clean. Electric footwork and huge crowd reaction.

Emily Chan and Spencer Howe performed their short program at the US Figure Skating Summer Sizzler at The Skating Club of Boston. Lyrical style, lots of promise. Looking for a good full season after a few seasons of injury issues.

Isabeau Levito - new SP very much in a similar style to Breakfast at Tiffany’s. The choreographic touches are spot on with the music. Lots of forward lean on the opening jump of her combo, but lands it. Clean, goes into first with a 70.69.

Sonja Hilmer have yourself a day!
That was the most entertaining and creative short program.
Landed all of her jumps, her spins had features galore - including going up onto her toe-pick - and then she broke out a footwork section with skate sounds.

Random snippet: this is the exact color I wanted my prom dress to be but I couldn’t find one this color in 1999. Best dress of the day so far from Petra Lahti.

Jia Shin (KOR) popped the toe loop at the end of her combination jump in her SP. The rest of the program was clean. I jotted down “lean and line” - her stretch and edge work are superb. Wow. The program felt too short, that is how beautiful it was.

The long-awaited senior debut of South Korea’s Jia Shin is near. She just took the ice for her six-minute warm-up at Cranberry Cup to a big ovation.

Andrew Torgashev was the only U.S. man to skate the afternoon practice before their late night practice at the TD Garden. “I mean, I'm here to skate, so why not skate?”
