Here we go with the Korean fired chicken commercial again! :) 2 posts from the President's Cup Ranking competition thread from just over 1 month ago: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...-cup-ranking-competition-nov-28-dec-1.112335/

OK, I've gotten very hungry after watching the bb.q Korean fried chicken ad over & over. :lol:

Yes you saw correctly. KB Financial Group was a sponsor for Yuna Kim since 2006 (as well as short track speed skaters Sang-hwa Lee and Suk-hee Shim later), and continued to be a sponsor for the KSU afterwards.

Also, the current president of the KSU is the chairman of Genesis BBQ Co. another sponsor for the KSU.

Hence the commercials :)

Thank you! I think the Women Groups 4-5 are also delayed - I was watching the KSF YT channel and they showed Group 4's warm up but then put up a graphic so you couldn't see the video but could hear the audio when the warm-up ended.

Yeah I suspect the KBS2 Broadcast will skip over most or all of the Group 4 Women
Click to expand...
Yes, they definitely did skip over most of them. They showed Seoyeong Wi who wound up in 4th at the end of group 4, Seoyoung Kim who was in 5th after the first 3 groups, then started with Ahsun Yun whose score was good enough for 2nd with 61.90, then Haein Lee who pushed Ahsun out of 2nd with 63.98... My guess is that Yujae Kim is in 1st, but that's just based on who was in Group 4 that they haven't shown. Yuseong Kim is now in 3rd with 63.08.

70.43 for Chaeyeon Kim!

And they showed the top 3 - can confirm Yujae Kim is now in 2nd with 67.76; just Jia Shin left to skate.

ETA - clean program for Chaeyeon, btw - I'll be curious to see her protocols because I'd have expected her to be higher.

LMAO - Jia Shin also goes clean and is in 1st with 72.08...

I'm sorry, KSF, but that's a joke. You do not score your reigning World SENIOR bronze medalist with a clean program lower than your reigning World JUNIOR silver medalist.

Oh, they're showing Yujae now.

It looks like the KSF YT channel has gone live again during the ice resurfacing, so I think that's where we'll find Lim/Quan's RD in a little bit.

I haven't watched, but do you think it's unfair that Jia's in first? It seems totally plausible to me, if both were clean. Avoiding silly medals-based reputation judging is good, isn't it?

KBS broadcast started with Seojin Youn who scored 108.26 for 4th in the FS and 4th overall with 167.84.

Jiyu Huh was the last skater in Group 2 and she scored 115.87 in the FS, 171.72 overall, so it would appear that two other women in Group 3 who were behind Youn have moved ahead of her overall.

Waiting on Nayeon Ko's score during the final warm-up group.

ETA - Nayeon scored 118.14 in the FS, 179.40 overall, not sure of her placement.

Here we go with the last group!

Clean? skate for Ahsun. I'm sure, based on the way the tech panel behaved yesterday, that there will be a few q or < calls, and maybe a !, but should be good enough to secure a spot on the Worlds team.

ETA 126.25 in the FS; 188.15 overall and into 1st!
