Kim Min-seon, The Queen of Trust and Deception, Changes Skates and Sings… ‘Adaptation Passing Score’
Won the domestic competition with a time of 38.05 seconds.
Ice quality problem – Stands tall even when changing shoes
Kim Min-seon (24, Uijeongbu City Hall), the ‘new ice queen’ who changed her skating shoes, showed off her good condition ahead of participating in international competitions in the 2023-2024 season.
On her first day at the 54th President’s Cup National Men’s and Women’s Speed Skating Championships held at the Taereung Ice Rink in Seoul on the 1st, Kim Min-seon took first place in the women’s 500m with a time of 38.05 seconds.
Although it falls short of the personal best record (36.96 seconds), it is not bad considering that it was achieved at the Taereung Ice Rink.
Taereung Ice Rink’s facilities are outdated and the ice quality is poor, so records are not as good as those of major foreign ice rinks.
This day’s record is especially noteworthy considering that Kim Min-seon recently changed her skating shoes.
Athletes usually replace old shoes every two to three years, but during the replacement season, personal records tend to drop due to the need for an adaptation process.
