Editorial review: 2026-07-27

  1. Alexandra Trusova

    The 2022 Olympic silver medalist and 2021 World bronze medalist landed five quadruple jumps in her Beijing free skate. Trusova was the first woman to land the quad Lutz and quad flip in ISU competition; explosive height, rotation speed, and ambitious layouts define her ceiling, while consistency and program completeness are the main tradeoffs.

  2. Alysa Liu

    Liu won the 2025 World title, the 2026 Olympic women's title and team gold, and the 2025 Grand Prix Final after returning from a two-year retirement. Earlier she became the first woman to land a triple Axel and quad Lutz in one competition program; her comeback version adds refined edges, fast spins, musical warmth, and big-event composure to that technical legacy.

  3. Amber Glenn

    Glenn is the 2026 Olympic team champion, placed fifth in the individual event, won three straight U.S. titles from 2024 to 2026, and captured the 2024 Grand Prix Final. Her triple Axel, speed, powerful edges, and emotionally direct performance give her elite scoring potential; the clean execution of that Axel and the free skate usually determines her result.

  4. Ami Nakai

    Nakai broke through with Olympic bronze and Four Continents silver in 2026 after taking World Junior bronze in 2023. A confident triple Axel supplies her technical separator, while light skating, quick rotation, clean combinations, and calm competitive pacing make her more than a single-jump specialist; maintaining that accuracy across both programs is the next test.

  5. An Xiangyi

    An won the 2024 Asian Open and represented China at the 2025 World Championships and 2026 Four Continents. Her appeal is built on flexibility, centered spins, delicate musical timing, and soft edge work rather than an ultra-C jump; clean rotation and consistency across the full set of triples determine how far that polished presentation can carry her.

  6. Anastasiia Gubanova

    Gubanova became Georgia's first European figure skating champion in 2023, added European silver in 2024 and 2025, and placed ninth at the 2026 Olympics. She wins points through clean triple-triple combinations, controlled landings, soft knees, classical lines, and reliable competition pacing; her case is consistency and refinement rather than ultra-C base value.

  7. Anna Shcherbakova

    Shcherbakova is the 2022 Olympic champion, 2021 World champion, and a three-time Russian national champion. She landed both quad Lutz and quad flip in competition, but her defining advantage was delivering difficult content under pressure while preserving musical phrasing, flexible spins, and fine upper-body detail; resilience and competitive timing made her peak especially effective.

  8. Isabeau Levito

    Levito followed the 2022 World Junior title with the 2023 U.S. championship, 2022 Grand Prix Final silver, and 2024 World silver. Balletic lines, centered spins, intricate transitions, and detailed musical character make her programs immediately recognizable; jump precision and rebuilding full-program consistency after her 2024–25 injury are the variables that separate her best scores from the rest.

  9. Kamila Valieva

    Valieva's valid record includes the 2020 World Junior title and 2021 wins at Finlandia Trophy, Skate Canada, and Rostelecom Cup, where she set record scores. Her quad toe, quad Salchow, triple Axel, flexible spins, and extensions produced an exceptional peak. CAS imposed a four-year ban from 25 December 2021 and disqualified all results from that date, so later 2022 titles and Olympic results are not counted here.

  10. Kaori Sakamoto

    Sakamoto won four World titles in 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2026, Olympic silver in 2026, and Olympic bronze in 2022. Exceptional speed, deep edges, huge ice coverage, a powerful double Axel, secure triples, and mature performance quality let her beat higher-base-value layouts through execution and consistency; her six-year championship durability is part of the achievement.

  11. Kim Chaeyeon

    Kim earned World bronze in 2024, then won the 2025 Four Continents Championships, Asian Winter Games, and Korean national title. Compact jump technique, quick rotation, precise triple-triple combinations, steady spins, and composed pacing make her especially efficient under pressure; her strongest rankings reward clean execution across both programs rather than one spectacular element.

  12. Lee Haein

    Lee won the 2023 Four Continents title and World silver, the first Korean woman to reach those milestones since Yuna Kim, and placed eighth at the 2026 Olympics. A clean triple Lutz-triple toe, flowing edges, strong layback spins, expressive choreography, and an ability to build through the free skate define her best events; jump consistency separates that medal-winning peak from ordinary results.

  13. Loena Hendrickx

    Hendrickx became Belgium's first women's World medalist with silver in 2022 and its first European champion in 2024; she returned from ankle surgery to take European silver in 2026. Speed, powerful triple combinations, confident spins, bold choreography, and arena-filling showmanship make her short programs especially dangerous, while health and free-skate endurance shape the consistency of her comeback.

  14. Mone Chiba

    Chiba won the 2024 Four Continents title, World bronze in 2025, World silver in 2026, and placed fourth at the 2026 Olympics. Deep, quiet edges, precise turns, fast centered spins, clean triple combinations, and balanced component quality make her one of the field's most complete skaters; the absence of an ultra-C jump is offset when she delivers two nearly error-free programs.

  15. Niina Petrokina

    Petrokina became Estonia's first ISU championship winner with the 2025 European title, defended it in 2026, and placed seventh at both the 2026 Olympics and Worlds. Quick rotation, energetic triple combinations, fast spins, sharp musical accents, and fearless attack give her programs momentum; returning from serious illness and a broken leg also makes her resilience central to the evaluation.

  16. Wakaba Higuchi

    Higuchi is the 2018 World silver medalist, a 2022 Olympic team silver medalist and individual fifth-place finisher, and the 2024 Skate America champion; she also placed sixth at Worlds in 2025. A competition triple Axel, exceptional speed, powerful edges, explosive takeoffs, and dramatic performance are her signatures, while injuries and jump consistency have made her career peaks intermittent but memorable.
