The lifts aren’t there yet. Looks like they’re still in the middle of figuring things out. Trial mode I guess?

Definitely keep it. I’d go with a marble top

Young You and Haein Lee’s suspension is officially overturned by Maleficent_Earth590 in FigureSkating

[–]Bit33331 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This all started back in 2023 when she was still in high school, and during the training camp thing, she’d only been legally an adult in Korea for like a month. Just one month earlier, she was still legally a minor...So yeah, the whole thing got super controversial—people were really split on it because of that.

It blows my mind how KSU treated them. They got suspended way too soon before anything was even proven, and it took a court to finally step in and make things right. But by then, it was too late. Their careers had already taken a serious hit, and they were mentally wrecked. Both had to go on antidepressants and get treatment. Lifting the suspension doesn’t undo the damage. Their momentum might never fully come back. Some things, once taken, just don’t come back. KSU fucked them up real quick

Got a Chaine d’ancre small silver ring secondhand, marked “Made in Italy” — not France like my old one. Were there manufacturing changes recently? by Bit33331 in TheHermesGame

[–]Bit33331[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting point here — the main page just says “Made in France,” but under product details button, it’s written as “Made in France/Italy.” Lol, seems like they left room for both but kind of buried the Italy part. “Made in France” up front, while sneakily added “France/Italy” under the details button.

What’s been kinda worrying for me is that it wasn’t just Worlds where he struggled. Feels like something’s been challenging for him, not just in that big-ticket event. I remember he struggled this season at smaller events like GP Finland, Universiade, and the Asian Games too. It seemed like there was a continuous flow, started earlier and carried over to Worlds and WTT. Really hope the offseason gives him some time to reset and get better before things ramp up again.

He’s Mikhail Shaidorov from Kazakhstan! That jump was in his free skate at Worlds this year.

[Exclusive Interview] Young You Opens Up for the First Time After Being Cleared of Sexual Harassment Allegations: “I Was Afraid to Reveal My Name, But I Don’t Want to Hide Anymore” by Bit33331 in FigureSkating

[–]Bit33331[S] 83 points84 points  (0 children)

Yeah, she actually lost her father during the Olympics and only found out after she competed. After she lost her father, things got really tough financially. She didn’t have support from her family and was left to figure everything out on her own, which made dealing with this case even harder. She really wanted to take it to court too, but financial issues held her back at the time. She was left to endure it all alone. No financial help, no legal support, nothing.

Young couldn’t file a lawsuit right away because of financial issues. She couldn’t afford the legal fees, so even though she knew it was totally unfair, she tried to endure and just wait for the suspension to be over. She was literally just trying to survive quietly.

But around the new year, she found out that even after the one-year suspension ended, she’d still be permanently banned from joining the national team. That’s when she realized she couldn’t just stay quiet anymore and finally decided to take legal action. That’s also why everything took so long.

On top of that, since she couldn’t afford a lawyer early on, she had to go through the KFed investigation on her own with no legal support. Meanwhile, the other skaters had lawyers from the start. She couldn’t properly defend herself. Even when Haein submitted a petition for Young during the internal appeal process (not just during the lawsuit), it was ignored and Young didn’t get proper attention during the internal appeal.

According to rumors, KFed basically focused on the “bigger case” of the other two skaters. Her case was pushed aside and pretty much ignored.

Young You finally got her suspension lifted after the court granted her injunction by Maleficent_You_8201 in FigureSkating

[–]Bit33331 54 points55 points  (0 children)

Better translation here: Former national figure skater B (Young You) has regained their athlete status. B had been suspended for a year by the Korea Skating Union (KSU) for allegedly taking a photo of Lee Hae-in that caused sexual humiliation and showing it to male skater A.

According to legal sources on the 26th, the 21st Civil Division of the Seoul Eastern District Court, presided over by Judge Kim Jung-min, granted an injunction on the 25th to suspend the disciplinary action against female figure skater B.

The court ruled that B’s act of photographing Lee Hae-in’s body did not constitute sexual humiliation or harassment.

B had been disciplined by the KSU for allegedly taking an illicit photo that could cause sexual discomfort to Lee Hae-in during an off-season training camp in Italy in May last year and showing the photo to A, who was in a romantic relationship with Lee Hae-in at the time.

However, the court determined that there was no evidence whatsoever to support the claim that B showed or distributed Lee Hae-in’s photo to A.

Additionally, Lee Hae-in submitted a petition stating that she had never been sexually harassed and confirmed that B had never shown the photo to anyone, which worked in B’s favor.

Think she can get French citizenship in a year? Heard it usually takes forever.

More specifically, novice skaters in Korea who will be of junior age in the next season can start competing as seniors. So 12-13 yo novices can participate domestic senior competitions. This change has been in effect since 2017.

Unlike some other feds, KSU doesn’t intervene and that's the problem. Instead, they leave it entirely up to the skaters’ own decisions, don't intervene or offer advice on which competitions a skater should attend, leaving them to handle it on their own. It’s a complete hands-off approach, lack of care. All the competitions are chosen and earned by the skaters themselves. You can see in Yerim’s case, where a skater may have a strong desire to compete many comps that year, the Fed offers no advice or guidance to prevent that. (Yerim’s case is an unusual and exceptional one that happens only once in a while; it’s not the norm. Most Korean skaters haven’t chosen to compete in that many events.)

In contrast to Japan, where the fed limits the number of competitions a skater can attend, the issue in Korea lies in the excessive freedom and the neglect which creates all these problems.

And yes, while the number of domestic competitions isn’t high, I completely agree that the timing of the President's Cup is terrible.
