Other information | JUNIOR WORLD RECORD She set a junior world record in the 500m [37.50s] at the 2017 Fall Classic in Calgary, AB, Canada, but it was not approved by the International Skating Union [ISU] as the organising committee had not conducted her doping test. The Korea Skating Union [KSU] appealed to the ISU, but only received an apology letter from the organising committee. Later in the year she again set a junior world record in the 500m [37.78s] at the 2017 Junior World Cup event in Salt Lake City, UT, United States of America. "When I heard that it [the first junior world record] was not officially approved, I felt let down a little bit. However at the same time I also thought that I could break the record again next time." (news.hankyung.com, 29 Jan 2018; nocutnews.co.kr, 11 Oct 2017; hankookilbo.com, 12 Oct 2017) |
