Curling hit Sweden in the final round of the full league on the 17th
(Beijing = Yonhap News) Reporter Dongchan Kim = Korean figure skating women’s singles Yoo Young and Kim Ye-rim (Surigo above) are exploring the possibility of winning the top ranks side by side at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
Yoo Young and Kim Ye-rim will compete in the women’s singles free skating in figure skating held at Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China on the 17th.
In the short program on the 15th, Yooyoung placed 6th with 70.34 points and Kim Yerim finished ninth with 67.78 points.
If you do well in the free skating to be held on the 17th, you can also look at the ‘Top 5’ recorded by Cha Jun-hwan (Korea University) of the men’s singles of this competition.
In addition, the gap with Kaori Sakamoto (Japan, 79.84 points), who placed 3rd in the short program, is 9.5 points, so if she performs clean in free skating, it is worth cherishing the hope of entering the medal right.
In the Korean figure skating event, ‘figure skating queen’ Yuna Kim (retired) won the gold medal in Vancouver in 2010 and the silver medal in Sochi in 2014 in the women’s singles event.
Although they tested positive for doping, interest is focused on whether Camilla Balieva (Russia), who participated in this competition, will keep the first place in the free skating on the 17th following the first place in the short program according to the judgment of the International Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).
Balieva won the gold medal in the team event that ended on the 7th, but the award ceremony was postponed due to doping issues. There is controversy.
Baliyeva also showed an emotionally unstable appearance, such as tears following finishing the short program on the 15th.
The women’s curling team will play the final full-league match once morest Sweden on the 17th.
Until the 15th, Korea is in 6th place with 3 wins and 3 losses, and Sweden is in second place with 5 wins and 2 losses.
Korea must win at least five wins to reach the quarterfinals, so it is expected that they will have to win the last match once morest Sweden to advance to the quarterfinals.
Minseon Kim (Uijeongbu City Hall) and Hyunyoung Kim (Seongnam City Hall) will participate in the women’s 1,000m speed skating.
