Dabin certainly showed some nerves of steel yesterday! And her coach crying was so beautiful! She did well! Congrats! I hope she keep up the vibe! [emoji173]️

Bump, but Dabin is the last program of the second-to-last group in the SP! Hoping this will help her PCS. She's been so consistent so I'm not worried about mistakes, mostly about the scoring. :sarcasm:
I think you meant to say that she is in the 2nd to last group in the Olympics free skate. 8th place!
I noticed Yuna's coach was also coaching her in the kiss and cry. I missed her skate though I will have to watch it on the replay later tonight.

Really happy with Dabin's performance. I hope either her or her compatriot can get into the top 10 in the Worlds and get the two spots back again for next year.
Really love how Dabin's been holding the fort in Yuna's absence.

I'm sure she can do it! Looking forward to the gala

Dabin skated to Arirang and I'm so emotional 
She did a nice job, I think it suits her style and I actually would love it to be her program! https://twitter.com/redshoe_yenny/status/967583609124106241

The korean ladies are so well dresses, and Dabin's costumes this year is perfect. Would love to see her skate to Arirang Rhapsody as a SP or LP. Looking forward to see her development the next season, she did a really good job this year, especially since it was such a tough season for her with injury and all.

Oh no! Dabin apparently had to withdraw from Worlds before the FS because her right skating boot broke.

Maybe this is a silly question - but don't skaters usually have backups for just this reason? Or am I overestimating the funding for such things?

I think it varies between skaters and their funding, if they have enough money themselves or get a good amount of funding from their sponsors/federation they can probably afford a few more pairs, like one main one and couple of broken in pairs for back-up if they brought it in their luggage. However it could be that she thought her pair was fine or didn't buy/bring a pair with her due to baggage restrictions.
Oh jeez, I hadn't even considered something like baggage restrictions. You're absolutely right.
I'm so glad she's not trying to skate on an inadequately-taped boot, but I'm still so sad for her...

They do, usually! Mirai mentioned how she always has two pairs of boots with her. I think Korean skaters just don't have that kind of money unless they are already really wealthy or Yuna.

I’m so ignorant about how this works and thought that KSU at least provides their skaters enough funds to buy their equipment. I’m really saddened about this.
Give Dabin all the advertisement!
