There was
2017 1st KSU skaters' Level test at last weekend.
I was there to see, and some skaters did great job and get the level.:hap85:
[*INFO of Level test again!]
KSU divided the 'Levels' into Pre, 1~8. The highest is level 8. Skaters cannot climb all levels at once, they have to get it one by one from Pre-level to level 8.
Almost all skaters we knew get the level 8, like Yuna Kim(she earned it almost 15 years ago haha), Dabin Choi, Nahyun Kim, Eunsoo Lim, Yelim Kim and Young You..... Okay, almost all. And for men, Jun hwan Cha, Jinseo Kim and etc.
They do 4 times of level tests per year, and skaters should pass over level 5 to participate most of domestic events which is important (like Korean Nationals or Ranking competitions).
Skaters of level 5~6 can participate those events as junior, and 7~8 can participate as senior regardless of their age.
In level tests, two type of tests are going on. First is 'Required Elements test' and second is 'Free skating test'. Only skaters who passed R.E test can advance to Free skating test. This does going through in one day.
After passing both tests, skaters can get the level.
Last weekend's level test was important to the skaters especially who want to participate
JGP selection events this summer,
because KSU only allows the skaters over level 7 to participate the selection events. Of course they also have to meet the junior age of ISU. But if they failed to get level 7 here, they have one more chance again at 2017 2nd level test, because it will happen(at June) before selection events(maybe July).
Anyway, here's some of skaters' level test vids from last weekend.
