At the World Figure Skating Championships, Cha Jun-hwan finished 17th in the men's short program.
During practice, I made a series of jumping mistakes due to a broken boot.
During the official practice two days before the competition, the hook tying the boot laces fell off, and as a temporary measure, Cha Jun-hwan, who started the game by fixing his ankle with tape, was psychologically shaken and made a mistake from the first jump.
The score was greatly reduced as I fell while jumping while running the quadruple salcho of the main weapon.
The three consecutive jumps that followed were neatly digested, but the landing was greatly shaken at the triple axel jump of the last jump.
Cha Jun-hwan, who finished his acting in disappointment, finished 17th with 82.43 points.
This is the season's lowest point, more than 17 points below his personal high.
Cha Jun-hwan, who revealed his future by placing 5th in the Beijing Olympics, was aiming for the first medal in Korean men's history at this event, but it was difficult to come back in the free skating tomorrow (26th) after being 18 points behind in 3rd place.
Si-hyeong Lee jumped 3 jumps, including a quadruple salcho, without making a mistake and placed 13th.
Si-hyeong Lee, who wore the Ukrainian flag on his uniform in the 'Kiss and Cry' zone and delivered a 'anti-war message', cheered with his arms raised when he received his personal best score of 86.35.
