World Championship Results
Men
19. June-hyoung Lee
Ladies
12. So-youn Park
19. Hae-jin Kim
Ice Dance
26. Rebeka Kim/Kirill Minov
June-hyoung performed more in line with how he was performing the Junior Grand Prix, and the end result is about as good as he could have hoped for in his Worlds debut. He can still do Junior Grand Prix next year - it may be best for him to go that route to gain ISU Ranking points.
South Korea ladies keep their two spots thanks largely to Anna Pogorilaya's underachieving in the free skate (still struggling with ligament problems). So-youn really should have been able to replicate her 9th place finish from last year, but faded a little bit at the end of the free skate (I'm not sure a 2 axel-3 toe at the 3 minute mark is really worth the risk, as she's not been consistent with it at all this season). Hae-jin had a better free skate at Four Continents. Will be interesting to see how Da-bin Choi compares versus Hae-jin next season.
Kind of a shame that Min/Koleto split mid-season, because Kim/Minov didn't really make big strides this season.
