Congratulations to all.
Me idiot I read the young you retired and wouldn't skate at her nationals. My bad

Chaeyeon has withdrawn from 4CC, replaced by Ahsun.

I guess Chaeyeon is still struggling with her injuries I hope she can rest & recover fully now and come back strong next season

 

[Ichatdelune]

I will be remembering this robbery for the rest of my life, may those responsible rot in hell

Cha was robbed. I totally agree with you. So unfair to him.

The National Winter Sports Festival (NWSF) will take place 2.25-28, and there are quite some names of interest. While I highly doubt that any of the Olympic/Worlds or JWC team members will actually be in Chuncheon they haven't withdrawn so far so

The event will be livestreamed on Youtube, links to be posted when they're up.

hello dear @Ichatdelune , maybe this is not your area of expertise, but... two or three years ago Korea still had a junior synchro team. what happened to them? (or four years ago? when there were still three jr ice dance pairs competing, Hannah, Jinny and the girl with dyed hair)

The Ice Tigers disbanded due to lack of support and interest, plus some girls were aging out of juniors and most likely to choose retirement
