Career

Junior

Li debuted on the ISU Junior Grand Prix circuit during the 2010–2011 season. She won the bronze medal in Austria and placed 4th in the Czech Republic to qualify for the Final. At the Junior Grand Prix Final, she tied with Risa Shoji for third place. She won the bronze medal on the tie-breaker. She finished 9th at the 2011 World Junior Championships.

Li placed second in both of her assigned 2011–12 Junior Grand Prix events and qualified for the Junior Grand Prix Final which was held in Quebec City, Canada. She finished fourth at the event. At the Youth Olympics, she won the bronze medal. She then competed at the 2012 Junior World Championships and finished 5th.

Senior

2012-2013 season

In the 2012–2013 season, Li debuted on the senior Grand Prix series. She was fifth at her first event, the 2012 Cup of China, and 4th at the 2012 NHK Trophy, where she posted a personal best score of 174.11 points. Li won her third national title at the 2013 Chinese Championships. She then competed at the 2013 Four Continents Championships and finished 5th. She finished seventh at Worlds after placing twelfth in the short program and fourth in the long. She received the second highest technical score in the free skate, only after Yuna Kim.[4]

2013-2014 season

In the 2013–2014 ISU Grand Prix season, Li's first event was the 2013 Cup of China where she finished 10th. Prior to her next Grand Prix assignment, the 2013 NHK Trophy, her coach Li Mingzhu stated, "She's getting taller and bigger, but losing power and coordination" and said it was affecting her self-confidence.[5] The skater withdrew from the NHK Trophy, which was scheduled for the following week. She returned to competition at the 2014 Four Continents Championships, placing 2nd in the short, 3rd in the long and won the bronze medal overall behind gold medalist winner Kanako Murakami, and second place finisher Satoko Miyahara.
