Figure skating hopeful Min Min-kyu (Kyungshin Shin) secured a bronze medal at the International Ice Skating Union (ISU) Junior Grand Prix for the second time this season, effectively securing his spot in the final.
The South Korean skater earned a total score of 138.68 points in the men’s free skate at the fifth ISU Junior Grand Prix 2024-2025 on Monday (Feb. 29) in Gdansk, Poland, with a technical score (TES) of 69.05, artistic score (PCS) of 70.63 and one deduction.
This, combined with her short program score of 57.18, gave her a final total of 195.86 points, good for bronze behind Lukas Waclavik (207.78 points-Slovakia) and Sena Takahashi (198.42 points-Japan).
Min Min-kyu, who won gold at the second Junior Grand Prix event earlier this month, will advance to the Junior Grand Prix Final, which will be contested by the top six athletes, barring any upsets.
The Junior Grand Prix, the crown jewel of the event, will be held in December in Grenoble, France.
Min Min-kyu fell to 11th place (57.18 points) in the short program on the 27th due to a botched jump, but he finished first overall in the free skate on the same day to win a bronze medal.
Min began his performance to the original soundtrack of the movie “Love Rides in the Rain.
His first jump, a triple axel-double toeloop combination, was perfect. He earned a basic score of 9.30 and a performance score (GOE) of 1.26.
However, she fell during her second jump, a triple axel.
He hit the ice and the fence in quick succession.
However, she didn’t show any signs of pain and got back up and continued her performance.
He cleanly executed a triple loop, triple flip-triple toe-loop combination jump and finished his first half with a flying camel spin (level 3) and a correo sequence.
The second half, worth 10 percent extra points, was not bad either.
She received a long edge on her triple lutz jump, but executed the subsequent triple flip-double axel-double axel sequence jump and triple salchow jump cleanly.
The final change foot combination spin and change foot sitspin were both scored at the highest level of difficulty, level 4. 토토사이트 순위
