Shin Jia

Shin Jia is the kind of athlete I find myself quietly rooting for. Born in Busan in 2008, she has already claimed three national titles and stood on international podiums at Nebelhorn and Cranberry Cup before turning eighteen. South Korean figure skating has been deep ever since Yuna Kim, which makes rising above that crowded field all the more impressive. At just 152 centimeters she carries an outsized competitive nerve. I am genuinely curious to see how far she climbs as the next Olympic cycle unfolds; she feels like a name worth remembering early.
