At the 2025 International Skating Union (ISU) Four Continents Figure Skating Championships held in front of Korean ice fans, South Korean women's singles champion Kim Chae-yeon, who won the gold medal with her flawless acting, said that she will hone her technical elements such as spinning and jumping at the World Championships to put on a more perfect performance.

Kim Chae-yeon won the women's singles free skate with a season-best score of 148.36 points and a total score of 222.38 points.

On the 23rd local time, Kim Chae-yeon won the championship in the women's single skating competition of the 2025 ISU Four Continents Figure Skating Championships held at the Mokdong Ice Rink in Seoul with a total score of 222.38 points. It was an overwhelming victory over second-placed American Brady Tynell (204.38 points) by 18 points.

Kim Chae-yeon smiled happily at the post-match medalist press conference, saying, "I wanted to do better in front of domestic ice fans, so I was nervous, and I not only set a new personal best, but also won the gold medal, which is really honorable." Kim Chae-yeon set a new record for the short program (74.02 points), free skate (148.36 points), and the highest overall score in this competition, and surpassed the short program (71.39 points), free skate (139.45 points), and total score (208.47 points) when she won the 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games.

Regarding the secret of showing clean acting skills, Kim Chae-yeon said, "Before jumping down, there are occasional thoughts of 'what to do if you fall'. "I want to believe in myself. Recently, I thought 'I can do it as I practiced'. Although she showed her unparalleled acting skills, Kim Chae-yeon aspires to a higher realm. Kim Chae-yeon said, "I seemed to be a little shaken in my spin today, and my jumps were not as quality as when I practiced. I seem to be nervous, and I will find the part that shakes or improves the quality and then practice. ”

Kim Chae-yeon, who won the women's singles competition at the 2025 International Skating Union (ISU) Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, is performing free skating on the 23rd.

Kim Chae-yeon will aim for the 2025 ISU World Figure Skating Championships in Boston, USA, next month. The World Championships are about the quota places for Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo 2026. "Through the Asian Winter Games and the Four Continents Championships, I know how to relieve tension, how to concentrate and gain self-confidence," Kim said excitedly, "Although it will be nervous before the competition, I want to concentrate on what I want to do and create a better competition than last year." ”

She added: "With the two tournaments as an opportunity, the hard work during this period has not been in vain. Kim Chae-yeon said with a relieved expression, "There are many better parts and developing parts in the future." This will be an opportunity to work harder. Kim Chae-yeon, who has participated in two important competitions in a row, said, "Take a day or two off and concentrate on recovery. After that, I will practice hard based on the feelings I felt in this competition. ”

Kim Chae-yeon, who is known for wearing clothes made by her mother, smiled with a proud expression and said, "My competition dress was made by my mother. "With the support of my parents and fans, I will work harder to prepare for the competition." Kim Chae-yeon, who remained calm after winning the championship, said: "From the second half of today's game, my left calf cramped and hurt a little. I'm happy (to get a high score), but I don't seem to be able to show it all on my face (because of the pain). But still happy. ”

Yoon Ah-sun, another Korean woman who finished in 9th place with 182.68 points, said, "I had a tough time last season, but I practiced harder because I wanted to beat it myself. The Four Continents Championships were held in Korea for the first time, and I was very impressed, and many ice fans cheered for me, which made me feel good. ”

On the 23rd, Yoon Ya-sun performed in the women's single free skating competition at the 2025 International Skating Union (ISU) Four Continents Figure Skating Championships.

"It's a pity that I didn't be able to show clean acting skills at the Four Continents Championships," Yoon said, "Participating in the World Championships is a big experience in itself, and it is also important to compete for a ticket to the Winter Olympics, so I will work harder and show my perfect acting skills." ”
