0.73 points behind Ami Nakai of Japan… Han Hee-soo won a bronze medal in Ice Dance Jini Kim and Namu Inu placed 3rd in Rhythm Dance
Kim Yu-seong
Kim Yu-seong (14, Pyeongchon Middle School), a junior national figure skating ‘twin’,
won a silver medal ‘surprisingly’ in his debut match at a major international competition.
Yuseong Kim scored 69.03 points in technical score (TES) and 57.85 points in art score (PCS) in the women’s single free skating at the 2023 International Skating Union (ISU) Figure Skating Junior Grand Prix 1st Competition held in Bangkok, Thailand on the 25th (Korean time), 126.88 points in total. received 카지노사이트
With a final total score of 189.92, including a short program score of 63.04,
he ranked second after Nakai Ami (190.65, Japan).
Yuseong Kim left behind Nakai by only 0.73 points, leaving regret.
This is a meaningful result considering that Kim Yu-seong is a rookie-level athlete who had no experience in major ISU competitions before this event.
In particular, Kim Yu-seong left a strong impression on the day
by succeeding in a high-level jump technique that rotated three and a half times and a triple axel.
Korean Female Single Player
It is the third Korean female single player to perform a triple axel without deduction in an international competition,
following Yoo Young and Kim Yoo Jae (Pyeongchon Middle School).
Kim Yoo-seong is the identical twin sister of Kim Yoo-jae,
who finished fourth with her triple axel at the Junior Figure Skating World Championships last year.
Kim Yoo-seong, who started acting in line with the free skating program The Lark Ascending, performed a clean triple axel.
It was a perfect jump that earned her a base score of 8.00 and a GOE of 1.26.
Kim Yoo-seong, who raised his confidence, performed well in the second task,
the triple flip-triple toe loop combination jump, but his GOE was reduced by 0.91 points as he was judged as a quarter landing (when the number of jump rotations was less than 90 degrees).
Then, in the triple lutz jump, points were also deducted due to the long edge judgment.
However, Yuseong Kim performed the rest of her performance flawlessly.
Performed Triple Loop
He jumped the triple loop cleanly, and performed his first non-jump assignment,
the flying change foot combination spin, at the highest level of difficulty, Level 4.
The acting in the second half with a 10% bonus was also excellent.
He performed a triple loop-double axel sequence jump neatly,
followed by a triple flip-double toe loop-double loop combination jump without mistakes.
The final jump assignment, the triple Salchow, was also clean.
Kim Yu-seong, who improved his performance with a choreo sequence,
finished with a flying camel spin (level 4) and a change foot combination spin (level 4).
Han Hee-soo (Seonil Girls’ Middle School),
who competed in the same event, also achieved meaningful results.
He won the bronze medal with a free skating score of 118.70 and a final total score of 173.99.
Ice Dance Rhythm Dance
In the earlier Ice Dance Rhythm Dance, the Jini Kim-Inamu (Gyeonggi Ice Skating Federation) group took 3rd place with a technical score (TES) of 33.41 points and an art score (PCS) of 22.89 points, totaling 56.30 points.
The two players renewed their personal best score (46.37 points) in the rhythm dance they received at the Junior World Championships last year by nearly 10 points,
will challenge for medals in the free dance held on the 26th.
