South Korean National Championships, 05–07 January 2018

[matcha]

Looking at the amount of junior ladies to men, I feel like Korea really needs a male skater to hit it big time on an international scale to get more younger boys interested.

group2
#6 Chae eun Noh 3T-2T 3S 2A clean. It seems she decided to jump 3T-2T instead of 3T-3T since she got underrotated to second jump at ranking competition and didn't pass the free cuts. We will see this time she can nail to the free. 44.39

#7 Yena Kwon 3S(<<, twofoot) 3Lo(fall, maybe<) 2A 39.13

#8 Ji won Lee ohmygod her music has technical trouble at the middle right after she jumped first 3F-2T, and then music stopped. She has to start the whole program again at the beginning. (Her coach Ms Shin is very upset and yell to the sound operator guy, as well as some audiences also seem to be very mad and yelled.) But second try for 3F-2T was better, and nice 3Lz, 2A followed. she is very brave, if I was her I would become frightened and maybe blow up whole thing 49.32 Current 1st

#9 Yurim Lee 3Lo(<or <<, fall), 3Lz(overturn)-1T, 2A(stepout) 36.97

#10 Sena Kim 3T-2T spin mistake 3S(<, maybe <<) 2A(little stuck) 43.09

Live streaming started! (for last two groups of ladies, and maybe men?)
http://m.sports.naver.com/general/gamecenter/etc/index.nhn?tab=cheer&gameId=20180106FIGURE1

there's three red buttons. first one is with low image qualities, second one is middle, and the last one is high q. You may download some apps if you want to see it through middle and high qualities. Lowest one doesn't need it.

 

[s_parks]

No offense but why is the male commentator even there

 

[s_parks]

lee hae in- not bad speed/flow for a korean skater her age. Get her a real training environment later and we have ourselves a competitor.

Yes! Please keep it up in the free...not that she has competition for the olympic spots. But it'll be good to see clean-ish skates all across nonetheless.

 

[OS]

[matcha]

Why am I still awake. I turned on the stream and it was Soyoun and she was clean, reduced difficulty or no I'm so happy, I've missed her.
