First Time Semi-Finals in Tampa Pro

Pan Jiajie placed 23rd in the Tampa Pro 2025 qualifiers and advanced to the semi-finals. This is the first time a Chinese skater has made it to the semi-finals of Tampa Pro.

Last year Pan Jiajie was at Tampa Pro too, but he got banged up in practice, so he was stuck in the qualifiers.

Besides the Chinese skaters, this year marks the forth year the Chinese skate brand DBH is sponsoring the Tampa Pro contest. They even stepped it up and sponsored a 'Legend Award,' crafting a custom trophy for it. Plus, they've got their brand set up with a booth right inside the Tampa skate shop.

Also reppin' China was Guo Jiahui, who rolled up to Tampa Pro this year. He landed in 35th during the qualifiers but didn't make the cut for the next round.

That 'Legend Award' ended up going to Kelvin Hoefler!

Back to the finals, this year the Japanese skaters were on fire again! Sora Shirai shut down Yuto's two-year reign and snatched the crown. Big congrats to Sora!
