2024–2025 Season
Moving up to the junior level, Cho competed at the 2024 Skate Canada Challenge in Oakville, Ontario. She won the event and set a new Canadian junior women's record with a total score of 186.50 points.[3]
In January 2025, at the Canadian Figure Skating Championships in Laval, Quebec, Cho won the junior women's title. She broke her own Canadian records, scoring 64.19 in the short program and 124.60 in the free skate, for a combined total of 188.79 points. [4][5][6]
Despite her win, Cho was ineligible to compete on the international junior circuit during the season due to her young age. She will be eligible for international junior competitions starting in the 2026-27 season. She will be eligible for the 2034 Olympics Games, but she will not be old enough for the 2030 one.
