Shin Ji-ah received a total of 117.85 points in the ISU Challenger Series CS Cranberry Cup International Women's Single Free Skating held in Norwood, Massachusetts on the 11th (Korea time), adding 64.57 points in the Technical Score (TES), 57.28 points in the Art Score (PCS), and 4 points deducted. The previous day's short program score (62.12 points) was combined to score 179.97 points in total. Shin Ji-ah ranked third after Isabo Levito (207.61 points, USA) and Sofia Samodekina (203.15 points, Kazakhstan).
Prior to the full-fledged Grand Prix stage, Shin Ji-ah chose the Challenger Series, a lower-level competition, as her first senior stage. He chose Aram Hachaturian's ballet collection 'Spartacus' as his senior debut season pre-skating program.
Shin Ji-ah ran the first jump task double axel easily, but fell on her hip on the ensuing triple loop. The performance score (GOE) was cut by 2.45 points. The triple salco and triple flip-double toe loop-double loop combination jump were neatly performed. It seemed to regain stability by treating both the flying camel spin and the change foot combination spin at level 4. However, the trailing jump landing shook and fell again in the triple lutz-triple toe loop combination, the first jump task in the second half with an additional 10% point. The triple flip-double axel sequence was successful, but the GOE was significantly cut as it was judged to be banged on the hip in the triple lutz solo jump and quarter landing (when the number of jump turns was short at the 90 degree level). Following the Correo sequence, Shin Ji-ah finished her performance with a step sequence (level 3) and a flying change foot combination spin (level 4). He couldn't hide his disappointment after the game.
Kim Min-chae (Gyeonggi General), who participated together, finished ninth with a total score of 140.95.
