Lee Hae-in, who was 15.03 points behind Chiba Monet (Japan, 71.10 points),
who was in the lead, took on the difficult challenge of getting into the medal zone by postponing the free skating on the 2nd.
Chiba Monet is the bronze medalist in the last competition.
At last year’s competition, Lee Hae-in ranked 6th in the short program,
but then performed a remarkable comeback in the free skating,
winning the gold medal for the first time in 14 years since ‘figure queen’ Kim Yu-na (2009),
raising expectations of a great comeback.
Lee Hae-in, who was the last performer among the 26 participants, got off to a good start by neatly performing her first jump task,
a double axel (base score 3.30 points), receiving a score of performance (GOE) of 0.80 points.
However, while attempting the triple lutz-triple toe loop combination jump, which was the second jump task,
Lee Hae-in was unable to connect the triple toe loop jump due to anxiety about the landing of the triple lutz, and his GOE was also deducted by 2.95 points.
Lee Hae-in, who caught his breath by performing the Flying Camel Spin at level 4, the highest level of difficulty,
hit his butt in the following triple flip jump and suffered a loss of 2.12 points in GOE along with a deduction of 1 point.
Lee Hae-in finished her performance with a sit spin (level 3) and a step sequence (level 4),
followed by a change foot combination spin (level 4), and then walked off the silver table with a confused expression.
Kim Chae-yeon (Suri High School), who also competed, received 69.77 points (TES 37.89 points, PCS 31.88 points)
in the short program, laying the foundation for a ‘comeback victory’ if she came in second place.
Her gap with leader Chiba is 1.33 points.
Kim Chae-yeon started her performance with a double axel, followed by a triple lutz-triple toe loop combination jump,
and then continued with a flying camel spin (level 4) without a mistake.
She landed the final jumping task, a triple flip, safely and was judged to be attention (caution of edge use), but GOE received 0.23 points.
Kim Chae-yeon finished her performance on a high note, finishing the rest of her acting assignments – sit spin, step sequence, and change foot combination spin – all with a level 4.
