Shim Seok-hee, who received a disciplinary suspension for disqualifying coaches and colleagues at the time of the Pyeongchang Olympics, applied for an injunction on the 3rd, showing her will to participate in the Beijing Olympics.



However, the Seoul Eastern District Court rejected all of Sim's allegations.



The federation's disciplinary action for damaging the ice skater's dignity was justified, and the separation of Shim Suk-hee from the national team immediately after the text message was released was not a disciplinary action, so the application was rejected, saying it was not a 'double disciplinary action'.



They also did not accept the claim that derogatory messages from colleagues were illegally leaked and could not be used as evidence.



[Kim Kyung-hyun / Legal Representative of Korea Skating Federation: The rule of illegal collection of evidence exclusion does not apply in civil litigation proceedings.

(Judge) In addition to the message, the Ice Skating Federation has decided that misconduct can be recognized by statements obtained through a separate procedure.]



As the Olympic roster expires on the 24th, any further legal battles become meaningless. Participation in the Olympic Games in a row was completely canceled.



Shim Seok-hee said through her agency, "We humbly accept the results and sincerely apologize to those who have been harmed."
