Kim Ye-rim, who came in first place with her perfect performance in the short program, was a bit shaky in the free skating.
Her first three jumps were clean and she earned extra points, but her performance score was deducted due to a shaky landing on her subsequent triple flip, and she was deducted for hitting her buttock on the first jump in subsequent jumps.
Kim Ye-rim made up for some of the points she lost by showing off her wits by attaching a double axel that she could not jump prior to the last jump task, which was scheduled to be a single jump in the third round.
After finishing her performance, Kim Ye-rim, who was feeling sorry and blaming herself, couldn't hide her surprise when the score was announced.
With a total score of 204.49, she overtook Japan's Kaori, the bronze medalist at the Beijing Olympics, to win her first gold medal in her career.
Kim Ye-rim, who won the Grand Prix for the first time in 13 years after Kim Yu-na, added his silver medal performance in the 3rd competition to secure a place in the final with the top 6 players.
[Kim Ye-rim/National Figure Skating Representative: I am very happy that the good result of winning the championship came out, and I hope to show a good performance by making up for the parts that were regrettable today in the final.]
