Figure skating Joon-Hwan Cha (Korea University) entered the’Top 10′ for the first time as a Korean male athlete at the World Championships.
Cha Jun-hwan was awarded 72.90 points in Technical Points (TES), 82.94 points in Arts Points (PCS) in the men’s single free skating at the 2021 International Ice Skating Federation (ISU) Figure Skating World Championships held at the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden on the 27th (Korean time) In total, he received 154.84 points. With this, Cha Jun-hwan added the short program score (91.15 points) and finished 10th with 245.99 points.
This is also the achievement of replacing Korea’s best men’s singles at the World Championships in 30 years. The highest grade of all time was 14th by Jeong Seong-il in 1991.
With Cha Jun-hwan’s propaganda, Korea secured at least one figure skating ticket (male single) at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and up to two. One has been secured, but the remaining one can be obtained in addition to the Nebelhorn Trophy.
However, Cha Jun-hwan pulled up to two Olympic tickets, but he did not confirm the trip to Beijing. This is because the players who will compete in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics are selected for a separate domestic selection. However, as Cha Jun-hwan’s skills are superior to other domestic athletes, the possibility of participating in the Olympics is high.
On this day, Cha Jun-hwan started acting in line with the free skating program’The Fire Within’. As my first acting task, I played a quadruple (4 rotations) flip, which is a’special move,’ but this time I played a triple flip that only turns 3 laps. He chose’stable’ rather than challenging.
In the second jump task, Quadruple Salco, under rotated (when the number of rotations of the jump is less than 90 degrees and less than 180 degrees) was judged, and the performance score (GOE) was reduced by 1.44 points.
Cha Jun-hwan recovered the score by performing a clean treatment of the triple lutz-double toe loop combination jump and then acting both the flying camel spin and step sequence to level 4.
However, a regrettable mistake came out again. When he fell while performing the triple accel-double toe loop combination jump, he was deducted 4 points in his performance score (GOE).
The landing was unstable even in the straight triple axel jump.
After that, the acting was perfect. He perfectly performed the triple flip-single Euler-triple salco combination jump.
Cha Jun-hwan, who refined his breath with the Coreo sequence, cleaned the triple loop, the last jump.
Both the Change Foot Seat Spin and the Change Foot Combination Spin received Level 4. Through his agency, Cha Jun-hwan said, “I was very nervous because I participated in the international competition in a long time.” Revealed.
Meanwhile, the championship was won by American Nathan Chen (320.88 points) who performed five quadruple jumps. It is a great record for three consecutive world championships. Hanyu Yuzuru (Japan, 289.18 points), who achieved two consecutive Olympics in Sochi 2014 and PyeongChang 2018, ended up in third place amid severe sluggish mistakes in jumping landing. In the second place, Yuma Kagiyama (291.77 points), “the divine nature of Japan,” came up.
