It may sound weird but at this point, they might as well? What I mean is, it is so frustrating to me that this is happening, especially as we know he wouldn't be having this issue if the Korean fed wasn't in shambles as it is, so in some weird way I would actually respect brutal honestly of that type more. Say how it is and put him, and everyone else, out of their misery. It's brutal yes, but at the same time, you don't hope in vain that maybe this time it'll be different.

Oh for sure. In every way, it would be easier to tell all these athletes they're not, actually, participating in a sport. The ones who stay will have my respect, but so will the ones who leave.
August 17, 20188 yr Oh no, what happened to Jorik? And does Kevin Reynolds now have two assignments?! I thought he was going to retire... wow! *happy*

Yes, Rostelecom would've been more ideal but even it's back-to-back competitions for him, he could do it. SC is at least not far away from Toronto. I hope he gets that 2nd spot in Finland.
August 28, 20188 yr Julian with second spot Interesting. And I thought 12th spot at RC will be empty...
August 31, 20187 yr Author Poor Cha, what a mess. Well fingers cross for Helsinki and that he gets it because SC, NHK, SA and IdF have host spots left to fill. For ladies, host spots left for SA, Helsinki, NHK, CoR and IdF.

If they were in a good state I am sure they'd be pushing for it. Sigh, those folks have a lot to answer for. Their mess hasn't just caused harm before, it's causing harm now. And for who knows how long!

Sigh, those folks have a lot to answer for. Their mess hasn't just caused harm before, it's causing harm now. And for who knows how long! I'm really not sure what's up. Both KOR and CHN have a chance to emerge as big skating countries at the end of the quad, I'd say, and while I have faith in CHN doing that due to all their reforming + Beijing + the strong talent they have anyway + their already strong Pairs program (whatever might be happening this season aside), I really DK if KOR will be getting past having only Yuna to speak of even after this quad yet. Sad, because Ji Hun To and Younghyun Cha both impressed me a lot, and Korean skaters still seem to be attempting to learn good technique, whatever the result of it might be. At least they are making coaching efforts with Young and Lim, I guess, and we might see the ladies in a few Worlds yet.

When it comes to Korea, it's somewhere on PH, no idea where, the president resigned and there are all sort of accusations, he's under investigation, and the whole fed is in a mess so everything went boom there. So that has to get sorted first, it's beyond skating now. Sigh.
