User talk:In the end, Kim Min-seon chose old equipment Athletes who have difficulty changing skate shoes
Won the 3rd World Cup wearing old skate shoes
Kim Min-seon (Uijeongbu City Hall), a leading figure in women's speed skating, won her first gold medal at this season's World Cup competition wearing old skate shoes. She changed her skating shoes in preparation for the 2026 Winter Olympics, but ended up wearing her old gear when her times didn't perform as expected.
Min-seon Kim won with 37.73 seconds in the women's 500m Division A (1st division) of the '2023-2024 International Skating Union (ISU) Speed Skating World Cup 3rd Competition' held in Stavanger, Norway on the 3rd, beating Erin Jackson (37.75, USA) ), won over Femke Kok (38.01, Netherlands).
Kim Min-seon, who swept the 500m gold medals from the 1st to 5th World Cup competitions last season and emerged as the 'new ice queen' to succeed 'ice queen' Lee Sang-hwa, changed her skates ahead of this season and as a result won the first round. I failed to win a gold medal in the competition and the second competition. She eventually switched to the skate shoes she wore last season for the third competition and immediately regained first place.
There were many athletes other than Kim Min-seon who had concerns about their skate shoes. Skate shoes are the most important equipment in ice skating sports. Compatibility with skate shoes is directly related to records. Some players change to new ones to improve their records, but many athletes complain of discomfort during the adaptation period because they do not fit well. It is known that in the process of adaptation, there are cases where wounds occur on the feet and bleeding.
Lee Kang-seok, the men's 500m bronze medalist at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, changed his skate shoes for the 2007-2008 season in preparation for the 2011 Vancouver Winter Olympics. After going through a harsh adjustment period, including bleeding in his feet during the last training camp before the start of the season, he began winning gold medals in the 4th World Cup competition.
Lee Sang-hwa, who won the women's 500m Olympic title for the second straight time, also changed her skates ahead of the 2011-2012 season. This had a positive effect, including improving her records.
There are times when changing skate shoes backfires. Lee Seung-hoon, a mid-distance star who holds two Olympic gold medals, had to change his skate shoes four times during the 2012-2013 season.
Among figure skaters, there are many who have suffered because of their skate shoes.
Even if you change skate shoes several times, you may not be able to find one that fits your feet. Skate shoes have a significant impact on major skills such as jumping, so the compatibility between the player and skate shoes is directly related to the score. 카지노사이트랭크
Cha Jun-hwan (Korea University), the star of men's figure skating, was unable to find boots that fit his feet even after changing boots several times after finishing the 2016-2017 season. He suffered injuries to his right ankle and left hip while training in ill-fitting boots.
Dabin Choi, who won the first gold medal in Korean figure skating history at the 2017 Sapporo Asian Winter Games, changed her skates repeatedly, but suffered an injury when her ankle broke and her upward trend was halted.
Putting on old skates again like Min-seon Kim is not a panacea. Because it is less durable, it can actually cause anger.
At the International Skating Union (ISU) Figure Skating World Championships held in France in March last year, Cha Jun-hwan wore existing equipment instead of new equipment, but during local official practice, the ankle of his right skate shoe broke and the hook for attaching the laces fell off, ultimately forcing him to miss the competition. I had to abstain halfway through. 고스톱
