Junhwan CHA (KOR) | Men Free Skating | ISU World Championships | Boston 2025 | #FigureSkating

...on the podium before, a couple of years ago, remember, he finished in second place. Goes into this lying in tenth. This is the amazing Joon-Won Cha for the Republic of Korea. A monster of a quad salchow. And he got it all wrong on the quad toe. Just a double. Combination of triple lutz, triple loop. He seems to be back on track, doesn't he? That was a super triple axel. Triple flip, with a triple salchow on the end. And there's the axel. Double axel after. Just fantastic. He is a joy to watch. It's such a shame that he couldn't have got that second quad toe out. So many great points to that program. Lovely choreography. His skating skills are superb. And for the most part, technically, it was very, very good indeed. I love that combination too, that triple lutz, triple loop. So much more difficult, because of course you have to keep the free leg in front on the landing of the first jump. He does it so, so well. Wasn't that lovely? That was amazing. Yeah, it was great. And Jason up on his feet as well in the leader's chair. Let's take a look. Here his opening quad salchow. So nice in the air. He's earning an additional 3.19 points for that, for 12.89. Here, looking at his triple axel. Double axel sequence. Judges looking for a great takeoff and landing. Effortless throughout. He's doing all of these things. He's getting, he's ticking all of the boxes for the judges to be able to give him those extra marks for quality. He has a level fours on all of his spins and his step sequence. His choreo sequence earning also a huge grade of execution. And we just saw beautiful Ina Bauer on your screen, a part of his choreo sequence. Jun has had a great second half of the season and really has carried the momentum here. Yeah, he's been getting better and better. He's been threatening a performance like this, hasn't he? It really was super. He needs 179 points to take the lead and he's going to do it. He's in second place on the free, but that's good enough to put him into first place ahead of Jason Brown.
