Mao SHIMADA (JPN) | Women Free Skating | Taipei City 2024 |

[@vinceedejer9464]

Landing a 4T after falling on every attempt at the warm up. She has the mental strength of a champion.

[@jakobmax3299]

Reminds me of Shun Sato.

[@Nunelii]

Her emotion at the annonce of the scores 🥹 she couldn’t jump out of joy because the competition was still ongoing but deep inside she knew she won ❤ she doesn’t land her 4T often but she does when it matter the most. Her mental strength is insane.

[@ManwithNoName-t1o]

Yeah exactly. She was happy to hear the score. And then it hit her that she would now win the world championship and that's when she cried.

[@chuuu4610]

She really does always pull through! Manifesting her staying healthy and on top for the years to come

[@rodrigofgotd]

She did the 4T so easily that I thought it was a 3T.

[@DeathSpiral777]

I did a double take when it came up as a quad in the tech box.

[@Tenorboy29307]

It looked so easy and fully rotated!

[@AxlKhan-v1f]

Skating with fire 🔥, precision, sophistication and control. The beautiful Japanese ice Princess is World Champ again. Congratulations Mao🌷.

[@yachuchuang3651]

Being 2nd after SP and stepping out the opening 3A, then coming back with that solid 4T 🤯👍 Such a big heart!!! MAO🥇✨👏💚

[@emmafox4069]

What a lovely performance, she’s an incredible talent. Congratulations, Mao! 🥇🎉

[@irinazurabova1845]

очень красивая программа, поздравляю Мао с чемпионским титулом, молодец!

[@cityonamountain3169]

She has stellar jumps and spins-- that one spin toward end-- wow!!!!!

[@ddjr6673]

What a fighter that quad was incredible- she’s had trouble with it all season and to come after the step out on the 3A - Congratulations 🥳 ❤

[@sharongutierrez5089]

The best in the world skater❤ new mao

[@10Lorette11]

Bravo Mao !! 😍

[@フウロソウ]

It's a beautiful 4T!!

[@jamiehunsbedt4330]

That was so beautiful i wish i could skate like that😍

[@JJ_yuna]

Congrats, Mao! 2x JWC! The sad thing about Mao is that: since she won’t be qualified in Milano Cortina 2026 due to age qualification, we might not see her in 2030 olympics. By that time there would be new roster of young Japanese skater.

[@DeathSpiral777]

There's no guarantee that she would make the Olympic squad even if she were age eligible. That's sport.

[@ІннаМорєва-и3ф]

дуже сильно і гарно! Молодець, дівчинко!

[@AnnaS-g8x]

Mao is an absolute phenom.. i just wish her coaching team would pace her better for the next olympics.

[@psinschktz1192]

Beautiful ❤ amazing smile

Beautiful execution.....God bless you dear! 😊 Be happy always.❤ Love from India.

[@asiabrown30]

I always loved figure skating or ice skating for that matter. and this is just prefect absoulety beautiful

[@atlantatlantic6386]

Very good. Princess. 👏👏👏👍

[@annabachinskaya]

Как же жаль, что эта чудесная девочка не попадает по возрасту на ОИ 2026, хотя ей на тот момент уже будет 17 лет ((. ИСУ, меняйте ограничения по возрасту. Выпускайте спортсмена во взрослые в году, в котором, наступает 17 лет.

[@С.Ш-г8р]

Ещё неизвестно, будут ли ОИ, или будет ЯВ.

금메달 축하드립니다~ 4회전 너무 아릅답네요

[@pedrocomenta7725]

Olha, nem os homens fazem um 4T tão fácil e limpo como o dela. simplesmente merece ser a a melhor do mundo no júnior no momento(fora as russas que são realmente fora do normal). A coreana até que teve uma boa nota, mesmo com uma coreografia sem muita dificuldade.

[@leonardoaraujomoura7506]

Realmente as russas são fora do normal, chama-se doping o milagre kkkkk

[@DrZoidberg237]

Go cry to your mom. No one cares.

[@Valentina-mx3rl]

❤❤❤🎉🎉

[@tatianavorobiova8015]

[@aroslanov04alisher]

The Japanese are doing well. The age limit has also been raised, now Shimada will not become an Olympic champion. Although why, if Kaori Sakamoto becomes the Olympic champion???

[@Галина-ц3л2й]

Каори, кстати, очень "выросла", пластичная такая в этом сезоне. Удивила

[@DeathSpiral777]

Even if the age limit had stayed the same, there's no guarantee of an Olympic spot for anyone, let alone a medal.

[@ТамараСтенникова]

Неплохой прокат

[@KP-zd3hc]

Question: why is she still using RF3s? I wonder if she would have better consistency in her hard jumps if she uses a more supportive boot.

[@dynadwynn]

It's not that simple though. Softer skates will give you more freedom in your ankles to control your skating and spins

[@Nunelii]

Consistency has nothing to do with the stiffness of your boot. A soft boot allows a better ankle movement and freedom of skating. It depends on the skater’s style, but Mao is certainly used to these type of skate. She must change them very often. That’s why I’m cringing when I see amateur/debutant skaters buy a pair of concertos or ice fly because according to them they need that extra support and their skates will last longer. Actually if you look at pro skaters, a lot of them are underbooting.

[@DeathSpiral777]

I'm sure she'd be using different boots if she required them

[@Nunelii]

@@DeathSpiral777 i think so, she knows her job.

[@KP-zd3hc]

@@dynadwynn I know that. I know that soft skates will provide better edge control. But she’s got those massive jumps… I wonder why she didn’t opt for something stiffer. I’ve tried RF3s before. They were so flimsy, and I was so scared I’d break my ankles, so I stopped using them quite quickly. But Mao’s doing quads now, so I wonder how she’s able to withstand such soft skates.

[@mariamAli-fd3xm]

She is 15 years old and participating in the Senior World Champion. I thought they could not participate until the age of seventeen

[@unhappyrefrains]

no, it's junior worlds

[@КеллиКоллинз]

Вот как Русские двигают вперёд фигурное катание. Япония подтягивается к нам. Ведь могут, когда захотят. Есть к чему стремится! А отталкивать наших, делают себе хуже.

[@alisagerasimenko]

[@alisagerasimenko]

Little qieen

[@willowevermore2557]

Is it just me or she had a lot of uncalled q jumps...

[@aliyaamanzholova]

That's exactly what I thought

[@DeathSpiral777]

It's you.

[@singsongeric]

A couple of tight landings for sure, but the judges certainly were not as strict with her today as they were in the SP.

[@ingai7014]

🙈:try harder

[@leonardoaraujomoura7506]

Cry about it. Jias flutz were not called either.

[@Маринамарина-г4д5к]

А где длинный выезд ? Все куцо .

[@Галина-ц3л2й]

Будет выезд. Сейчас она совсем еще юная.

[@dannymo3761]

Bring the Russian back to the competition! The 3A 4S 4T 4F 4L of them are unbeatable

[@k_swiftie4615]

Which Russian skater are you talking about?! I don't remember anyone this season who could jump 4Lz,4F and 4Lo and they all did it before the whole doping scandal. I guess we know why....

[@ingai7014]

It’s ok :stay home,you don’t have anyone able to skate after 13

[@brettfine3444]

@dannymo3761🤡🤡🤡 NO. They can stay home and skate for Kim-Pu-Xi to enjoy.

Don’t exaggerate, a lot of Russian skaters respects integrity more than anyone and are lovely to watch. You just don’t follow t he right skaters. Kamila =\= Russian skaters

[@ingai7014]

@@Nunelii i don’t exaggerate anything -I know ruzzian skating -I was born there ,those days are over ,pleasant to watch is not what’s about

[@Nunelii]

@@ingai7014 doesn’t matter where you’re born, YOUR own experience doesn’t act as a general truth. Every Russian skater isn’t Kamila. To state than EVERY skater dopes, you have to do more than just being born there, you have to advance evidences of it 😀 anyone who claims to know something but who actually can’t bring any proof looks dumb, and anyone who claim that they have a proof but didn’t submit them looks like an accomplice. And YOUR experience is not a proof. The reality is a little bit more complex than that.
