She has said in an interview recently that she hasn't been skating since she retired so it would be really difficult for her to skate a gala or something. That wasn't the exact words, and it was translated from Korean, so I don't know... But as always, she looked done with skating. I don't think she will skate at the Olympics at all. Too much pressure, even without jumps.
Honestly, I try to accept the fact that we may never see her skate again. And I'm ok with it, although it is a bit sad. But she deserves to rest. She deserves to have a more calm life, without the pressure of skating.
So I'm ok if she doesn't put on the skates at this OG.
Now, one thing I'll be really surprised if it doesn't happen is if she is not the one awarding the medals in the ladies event. And yes, I want her to give the medals not the flowers! Then we would have interesting and cute photos of her and the medalists interacting. [emoji7] I'd also love to see her in the Men's ceremony as well, but that's probably a long shot.
