Competition notes

[edit]

In the junior event, Kiri Baga had to withdraw due to Achilles tendinopathy in her left ankle.[6] Sui Wenjing and Han Cong withdrew due to qualification to senior Grand Prix Final. There were allegations that two female skaters, Sui in the senior event and Yu Xiaoyu in the junior event, were too young for those competitions, while a male skater Jin Yang was alleged to be too old for the junior event.[7]
