18-Year-Old Hana Yoshida Wins First Women’s Grand Prix Series

First win in her first GP Women's Figure Championships! She made a great comeback with her "crane"-inspired Free skate!

2023-11-26

In China, she scored 139.32 points in the free skate, her best of the season, and made a great comeback from 3rd place in the short program.

This season’s free skate “Shakuhachi” has a Japanese theme, with many crane-inspired movements. Although her chances to advance to the GP Finals depend on the results of other skaters, we expect her to compete at the Four Continents Championships in January and the World Championships in March, and to aim for a podium finish.

Like a crane, Yoshida, a rising star, is flapping her wings on the world stage!

Yoshida also has a serious side to her, as her hobby is visiting temples and shrines. He is one of the few people who visit temples and shrines in his spare time, and his red seal book is already in its sixth volume.
