2022-23 South Korean Figure Skating

Hmm, never thought about it like that before. We have little to no info on coaches and their methods (so I can't help you with getting insight, sorry) so I just assumed that they were just doing what they do. I don't know, maybe Coach Park is a better coach for juniors than seniors?

she changed her plan or this was the original... I think so now coach Park Bitna kept only that competitor who could become world champion. skills, confidence this occurred to me now, after Jia's fall.
so Park Bitna is not the 37-year-old teenager I sometimes think she is

Amazing, huh? Korea vs. Japan skate battle. JGPF will be epic!

Even after the conclusion of an incredibly successful JGP season for Team Korea (2 gold, 5 silver and 4 bronze medals), there are still more achievements by juniors (and almost juniors) to be celebrated.

Both Yujae Kim and Habin Choi have managed to land 4Ts in training:

Congratulations to Yelim Kim with NHK gold medal!
Looks like Korea finally has a steady top elite female skater and Worlds medal candidate.
Out of junior 'wonderful trio' Young, Eunsoo and Yelim I bet most of the fans favoured first two to make greatest splash in seniors back then. Yet it's Yelim who managed to fight through setbacks and lack of judges' love to the point where she can make couple of mistakes and still be chosen for gold over home favourite Kaori.

Her 3Lz3T combo is spectacular and her Ina Bauer - breathtaking. Would mention wonderful costumes, but having best dresses in the game is Korean standard.

Congraulations to Yelim Kim on her NHK victory! I really liked her genuine expression of surprise when she found she had won. Her SP was fabulous and she fought well through her mistakes in the LP with two marvelous triple lutzes with rippon tano one in combination with the triple toe, and her turning transitions into the triple loop were fantastic. The most impressive to me was her wonderful artistry, like the lovely extension and plasticity in her arms and fingers and the picturesque positions in her back like in the amazing Ina Bauer on a sharp arc which is more impressive considering her relatively great height which creates a longer more dramatic line. Her edge work, speed and the pirouettes on the ice were also impressive for their fluidity, and her sit spin position was impressive.

She didn't have the SP minimum as far as I know, so probably no.
