Welcome to Golden Skate, SerpentA!

Thanks so much for the information! :bow:
Especially for the TV times!

I understand that juniors & novices will be competing at Korean Nationals. Do you have any info on the juniors schedule?

I see that So-Youn Park, who won the silver in one of her JGP events, & Hae Jin Kim, who won gold in one of hers and was first alternate for the JGPF, are skating as seniors, as is Jin-Seo Kim, who did well in Men's on the JGP, winning a bronze in one event, and finishing fourth in the other.

Also, is an entries link?

Not bad..especially after that mishap...I hope conditions will be better for all tomorrow.......-4 °C is too cold...and the ice is probably too harsh and Yu na skated as the last in the competition....it is a good thing she had a plan B with that 3Fl-3T combo.....

I'm surprised to see Kim Hae-Jin so low in the standings. But she's still within striking distance of the podium.

Again, such a weird accident for Yuna to just slip while gliding--she wasn't doing any defined element (spin, jump, steps, etc.). But what a glorious 3F+3T out of steps!

The rink has zero heating, and this year's winter's very cold in Korea (with snow and -10 degree weather), so yes, the rink is reported to be -4 degrees inside.

Does she usually train in these conditions? That should have been very hard...

Yuna really needs at least one more competition to be ready for Worlds. She needs to skate in an event against quality skaters where she will need to be sharp. This performance would not get 65 points at Worlds and she wouldn't be leading.

Everyone in that arena looks like they are ready to go skiing during a blizzard....

It was -4 degrees Celsius in the arena during the short program--extremely cold and not very conducive to figure skating. Hopefully it warms up for the free skate, but I'm not optimistic.

I had read that in previous posts. I think it impacted Yuna's performance, despite the fall and popped lutz she performed beautifully though. I am hoping they can do something about the temperature during the free skate as well can't be very healthy for the skaters either.

I am hoping they can do something about the temperature for the skaters long-term in rinks all across the country ... Eep. Guess nothing's really changed in rinks even after Yuna's win.
