2024 South Korean Figure Skating Ranking Competition

[CoyoteChris]

Haein Lee skated very well considering everything she went through this year. Pretty impressive.

Understatement of the year!!!! How menatally tough one must have to be to take that bullying from the KSU (the gang that cant shoot straight unless they are shooting at their own foot) and do this!

Ever been bullied in school? By the School? By the government? This is for you......
Bullying has no place in correcting behavior.
If anyone bullies you, consider the source. Then go show them how mean and stupid they are.

Does Minkyu Seo's mother run the KSU or something? First the whole Haein Lee thing was suspicious as heck, now Im hearing about him getting inflated scores in this competition. Is corruption mandatory in figure skating or what?

Half the skaters on the planet get inflated scores (we all have a list, me and all) and the other half wuzrobbed. That's figure skating.

Ya think?

Sorry people, that was probably snarky as hell, but given the shenanigans we all wail about from all feds...

And can everyone who's swung over to the Haein Is a Pure and Persecuted Angel side of the affair - which everyone has a perfect right to, she was certainly badly done by - kindly knock off trying to turn a teenager into the villain of the piece?

Minkyu's mother is a teenager?

LOL! If conclusion jumping were an oly sport, this forum might have a chance at an OGM! No one said Young and Haein and the minor were angels...but just as in politics, there should be consequences for breaking rules. But not cruel and unusual punishment. The KSU slandered Haein and was caught. We are not privy to the deal that was cut. But her response after she skated was a very carefully worded response allowing the KSU to save face. I am not sure exactly how they are funded, but they had a PR nightmare on their hands....the ball is still in play....it will be interesting to see where it goes.

By the way, if you studied Korean History post 1950s, well that was an interesting time ...and apparently it still is. This mornings actions could explain certain attitudes of orgs. YMMV. https://apnews.com/article/south-korea-yoon-martial-law-997c22ac93f6a9bece68454597e577c1

Is there any more word about Young You? She decided not to contest but is there any further word? Have followed her for so long and really miss her
