I thought they were fantastic. They've got a bit of a special something about their skating. And they look happy when they skate, which makes me happy, always.

Congratulations to Ryom/Kim :yay:.

The NBC Nightly News telecast had a story tonight on their successful qualification for a 2018 OWG spot for DPRK.

The NBC piece includes a few nanoseconds of Ryom speaking :popcorn: :cool:.

Also comments from Ashley Wagner on the security of the 2018 OWG.


Don't know whether Zaccardi's pre-Nebelhorn article about R/K was posted in another thread. Has more quotes from Julie Marcotte.


... And that bit about them cooking for his South Korean pairs team was great. It reminds me of the North and South Korean gymnasts taking a selfie in Rio.

Kim/Kam of South Korea already have been taking selfies with Ryom/Kim :ghug:.

Alex Kam sometimes can be a(n endearing) goofball, but his sentiments about R/K have been very sweet and sincere:

Thank you for the link :)
Their lifting are rock solid, impressive ~
I like the music cut for their SP, it should be able to draw audience in easily during Oly. I can feel the gratitude from them to the couches, it's cute that they thank their couches before leaving the ice. It must not be easy, and they have made it.

I really like this pair! Do they have a fan fest yet?

Me, too! :)

Yes, they have a fan fest: https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?58381-Tae-Ok-Ryom-amp-Ju-Sik-Kim

And here's a link to the index of fan fests: https://www.goldenskate.com/forum/showthread.php?37783-Fan-Fest-Index-Links-to-Skaters

You can always find this index by going to Forum > The Arena > Fan Fests > Fan Fests, Links to Skaters. This post stays anchored near the top, making it easy to find. I find it so much nicer to use this rather than scrolling through lists of skaters.
