^^^There are sure a lot of Senior Women. I am amazed at how many names I recognize and skaters that I enjoy watching . I hope everyone does well and I will feel very sad for all those who might not make it to international competitions.

Is yelim injured or just going through a growth spurt?

Yelim said she wasn't at her best condition a bit ago, maybe she's still recovering?

 

[Ichatdelune]

4CC Team Korea Men: Cha Junhwan, Lim Juheon*, Cha Younghyun*

* Kim Hyungyeom, who ranked higher, is going to Youth Olympics

4CC Team Korea Men: Cha Junhwan, Lim Juheon, Cha Younghyun

* Kim Hyungyeom, who ranked higher, is going to Youth Olympics

KSU doesn't waste time releasing the 4CC teams. It's good for the skaters to know ahead of time.

4CC Team Korea Women: Kim Chaeyeon, Wi Seoyeong, Lee Haein

KSU doesn't waste time releasing the 4CC teams. It's good for the skaters to know ahead of time.

I agree, but the bad side is KSU forces the skaters into so many domestic competitions.

I do like the idea of skaters having more time to prepare for 4CCs than US and Canadian skaters in particular normally do.

I usually refrain from using my endearment terms on this thread, but just in case I slip:

While it's ice resurfacing literally valueless Ichat's endearment terms glossary
- Darling (single) : Cha Junhwan
- Darling Squirtle : Lim Eunsoo (retired sob)
- Tesoro : Cha Younghyun
- Beloved: Wi Seoyeong
- Love (single) : Kim Chaeyeon
- Chérie : Lee Eun
- Homeboy : Lee Sihyeong
- Kitten : Kwon Minsol

It's shamefull how the KSU treats their skaters. And a pity nobody speaks up against this.
The best skaters in the country, among them some of the best in the world, are pushed into aggrevating their injuries to be able to receive funding and just because?
