Ting Cui (pronounced Tsway;[1] born September 6, 2002) is an American figure skater. She is the 2018 CS Tallinn Trophy silver medalist, the 2018 U.S. junior national bronze medalist, and the 2019 Junior Worlds bronze medalist. She currently has the fourth highest short program score of any junior lady.

Personal life

Ting Cui was born on September 6, 2002, in Baltimore, Maryland,[2] the eldest child of Lily and Larry Cui.[1] She is a student at Towson High School.[1]

Career

Early years

Cui began learning to skate in 2009.[2] She received a pewter medal after finishing fourth in the intermediate category at the 2015 U.S. Championships. Two years later, she won silver in the novice ranks at the 2017 U.S. Championships.

2017–2018 season

Cui made her ISU Junior Grand Prix (JGP) debut in August, placing sixth in Brisbane, Australia. In January, she won the junior bronze medal at the 2018 U.S. Championships, having finished third behind Alysa Liu and Pooja Kalyan, after placing eleventh in the short and second in the free. She placed seventh at the 2018 World Junior Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria. She was coached by Vincent Restencourt in Aston, Pennsylvania, until the end of the season.[3] In June, she joined Tom Zakrajsek in Colorado Springs, Colorado.[1]

2018–2019 season

Cui began her season on the JGP series, placing fifth in Linz, Austria, and then seventh in Ostrava, Czech Republic. Making her senior international debut, she won silver at the 2018 CS Tallinn Trophy in November.

At the 2019 U.S. Championships, Cui debuted on the senior level domestically. She placed twelfth in the short program after falling twice and failing to execute a combination. She rallied in the free skate, where she placed third, rising to fifth place overall. Cui said afterward that it "felt amazing, and the audience was so different from juniors. I could feel the energy from the crowd, and I was just so happy, and people were on their feet too, which was really amazing." Cui was assigned to the 2019 World Junior Championships alongside pewter medalist Hanna Harrell; as well, because both Harrell and gold medalist Alysa Liu were ineligible for senior international competition, Cui was also assigned to the 2019 Four Continents Championship.[4]

Competing at Four Continents, Cui placed seventh in the short program. Despite an edge call on her flip, she said it was "so much fun skating for the crowd, especially during my footwork, that was great. It’s my first Championship event and I really want to enjoy every moment of it."[5] In the free program she fell three times, and finished in eleventh place overall.[6]

She won the bronze medal at the 2019 World Junior Championships after placing third in both segments.
