I have to work now, so do not have time to translate the full text. The post is about the current situation, but she did not say the partnership had been terminated.

In my opinion, we have to wait for a while to see if their patnership is really ended or not.[/QUOTE]
Well, Alexander said clearly it had - is she saying something different than that? Because when one half of the partnership says they've split, that's usually a reliable source. x

It is with deep regret and sadness that I must inform you that although I was committed to representing the Republic of Korea through the 2022 Beijing Olympics, Yura has decided to end our 3-year ice dance partnership.

No, she did NOT say they split. She just says she stopped training and summarized her side of the story. It looks like the situation happened quite recently, that is why I mentioned we may have to wait for a while.
 
Just for your information, Min deleted her instagram post per Gamelin's asking.

This post captured most of the text. However, I think the wording came out much harsher than the original text, for both parties' sake.

Now the original post is down. It's not possible for me to translate it in my own style. I hope people do not judge either party based on this translation, which would not be wanted by both parties.

I think it's good she took it down because is not good to have online arguments with everyone watching/reading. I dont think this will end well though :(
 
Now Gamelin after asking Yura to took down her post (according to her) claims everything's false and calling her and her family liers and other not so amicable stuff. Then almost immediately he took down that post.

Things got really ugly pretty quickly. Sad indeed.

  • instagamelinIt is with deep regret and sadness that I must inform you that although I was committed to representing the Republic of Korea through the 2022 Beijing Olympics, Yura has decided to end our 3-year ice dance partnership.
    It has been an honor to represent the Republic of Korea in International, World, and Olympic competition, and to have become a South Korean citizen. I will always cherish my memories of the 2018 PyeongChang Olympics, especially the roar of South Korean fans filling my heart. My sincerest thanks go to all who have supported my journey as a competitive ice dancer. I hope your good wishes will continue with me through all of my future endeavors.

  • It’s not Yura. It’s You, Alex .
  • Hey, Alex. Everything costs and you and your family have chosen money. Deal with the cost you will face. First, you must thank Yura. No more wordplay. You are just lazy. That's all.
 
My takeaway on the whole Min/Gamelin situation is that neither comes out looking great and those instagram posts are pretty tacky (although Yura's seems a lot tackier since it includes specific accusations of laziness and withholding money).

My question about the money issue is this: since the money raised ($120K+) was meant to last them through 2022, is there a possibility that the family had not shared it because they were currently figuring out how to manage it (savings, investment, how to divide it up by year, etc.?) Maybe there was some indication that the partnership was going south so they held it until there was some indication it would remain together? Maybe there is foul play? That part's really intriguing to me. The laziness thing is just normal petty figure skating drama leaking out. The money thing is potentially leading to at least one court case whether Yura was lying or telling the truth. I'll be waiting to hear more... :watch::watch::watch:

So, so classy of her. Even if it was translated to sound more harsh than it was as a user here claims, it still sounds like this couldn't have been worded too nicely.
Although she's blaming him here for "laziness," I wonder if she can't also be part of the problem considering her history of dumping partners... Maybe he wanted to take his foot off the gas for a bit after the Olympics. No one considers that lazy.

At this point, I don't know who to believe. I'm leaning towards Gamelin just because the laziness stuff was so petty, but him (or his family) doing something wrong isn't out of the question.

Who are these quotes from? Fans of Yura? Yura's family members? They're very rude. TBH even if Gamelin's in the wrong Min is coming off much worse now because of her and those comments.
With male partners in high demand + Min's male partners needing to go through the long Korean citizenship process + this drama (her post, those comments on Gamelin's post) + her frequent partner-swapping, one wonders how easy it will be for her to get a partner in the future...

IDK much about them, but if partnership money (and it's seems there is a bit) is being withheld and there seems to be no clear communication, I don't really fault Yura. They are a partnership and there is a serious lack of proper structure with them. Without him, she may not have made it to the Olympics, but without her he certainly wouldn't have made it in his home country (well hers too, but hasn't she always maintained dual citizenship?) This shouldn't have been taken to social media, but that's' life this day and age I guess..He should not have announced the ending of his partnership before it actually being 'over'.

Where did you get the information she dumped her partners previously?:confused:
 
@Cleo1782 I'm not saying that withholding the money was okay - especially as it sounds like there wasn't good communication about how it would be handled. If all she had included in the post was the stuff about the money I'd be a lot more sympathetic to her.
The paragraph about laziness makes her seem much less sympathetic, especially with it being the first and longer grievance listed.

From what I understood from the translation of Yura's post, the partnership did indeed end before Gamelin posted. Otherwise, it's him being tacky for telling her he "broke up" with her on social media.

Like I said in my post, I don't think this is clear cut that someone is wrong and someone is right - both probably share some blame - but I think one person in this is clearly coming across worse. That may just be the translation, but I don't know how a change in translation can make calling someone lazy seem not rude?

@seabm7 That was the gossip on the reddit thread that was linked.
 
Seguin/Bilodeau break-up opens a spot in Finland and France. IdF has a clear favorite now and several (surprise) podium shots.

Ok, so neither one of them is unknown. Both successful. So they’ve earned this, individually or with other partner. Should be an exciting partnership.
 
The only thing that could make Li/Xie elegible is because he was Top 24 in WS with his previous partner and that somehow carries over to the new partnership though nothing is explicit about it in previous GP rules.

Can we move the discussion in a thread where it actually belongs?

Probably best (fitting?) to continue any Min/Gamelin discussion in the Ice Dance thread in the Trash Can? https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...rockers-2018-2019.103823/page-17#post-5385651
(If there was an official press release, I would have started a thread in GSD, like for Seguin/Bilodeau's announced split earlier today.)

Re-posting the pairs GP alternates:

27 Stellato & Bartholomay USA - Rostelecom Cup
33 Ruest & Wolfe CAN - SCI
35 Hase & Seegert GER

41 Lu & Mitrofanov USA
42 Walsh & Michaud CAN - SCI
43 Pfund & Santillan USA
44 Suzaki & Kihara JPN - NHK
