Korean figure skating women's single star Lee Hae-in (Korea University) performed satisfactorily in her Olympic debut. Shin Ji-ah (Sehwa Girls' High School) made a mistake in her first jump, but she did not shake.

Shin Ji-ah scored a total of 65.66 points in the women's single short program for figure skating at the 2026 Milan/Cortina D'Ampezzo Winter Olympics held at the Ice Skating Arena in Milan, Italy on the 18th (local time), adding one point to the technical score (TES) 35.79 and the art score (PCS) 30.87 points.

Shin, who finished in the 14th order out of 29 contestants, is currently in the middle of the standings. Tickets for the free skating (main competition), which are given to the top 24 short program players, have been secured easily.

However, the score was somewhat disappointing. It fell short of the individual high (74.47 points) set at the 2025 CS Nebelhorn Trophy and 68.80 points recorded in the team event (team event) short earlier. The mistake in the first combination jump was painful.

Shin Ji-ah, who started acting to Chopin's "Nocturne" melody, received one point after falling during the subsequent jump landing while attempting the triple lutz-triple toe loop combination jump, her first task.

But Shin Ji-ah immediately regained her composure. The subsequent double axel was neatly successful, and the flying Carmel spin stabilized by receiving the highest difficulty level of 4. The long-term triple flip also landed stably and completed all the jump tasks.

The second half of the performance was also solid. Both the change foot combination spin and step sequence were treated at level 4, increasing the completeness, and leaving the link with a relaxed smile, finishing gracefully until the last layback spin (level 3).

Lee Hae-in then scored a total of 70.07 points by combining 37.61 points in the technical score (TES) and 32.46 points in the art score (PCS). This is below his all-time record (76.90 points), but it is the highest score this season.

Lee Hae-in ranked second in the middle rankings after individual neutral player Adelia Petrosian (72.89 points) when 15 players finished the postponement. It also secured a free skating berth given to the top 24 players, ranking higher than Shin Ji-ah (65.66 points), who participated together.

Lee Hae-in, who took the ice for the 15th time in line with Christopher Tin's "Seiren," gained momentum by perfectly digesting the first task, the triple lutz-triple toe loop combination jump. Then, after handling the double axel without any mistakes, he got the highest difficulty level of level 4 on the flying camel spin.

Lee Hae-in, who landed stably until the triple flip in the second half with additional points, finished the acting by finishing all of the rest of the spin tasks and step sequences with level 4.
