If this was some unreliable source, I wouldn't have shared it. But this was from KBS, South Korea's national broadcast station, and they will not release unreliable information to the public.
And no, the screenshots aren't fake. That was Haein Lee & Young You.
The fact that Haein's parents told her to break up with that child. She was told it was wrong. They educated her. She knew. This is fucked up. She is fucked up.
TW: Abuse
A child was panicking in the corner alone and two fuckass adults acted as if nothing happened? I can't even say it out loud how disgusted I am. She was breaking down and that monster was laughing?! This is seriously rotten to the fucking CORE. These people aren't human
Oh she CLOCKED you all FSTwt very specifically (especially in part 2)
To the "Sport fans are supposed to hate on athletes, it's competitive, etc., why are fans of this sport so sensitive,...), here is your answer. Bullying athletes isn't the norm like you said, you are just evil

• Wear teal clothes, which symbolize support to the victims
• Alternatively, you can wear teal ribbons.
• You can make teal ribbons to hand other people too!
Truly glad that skaters start speaking up themselves when people make nasty comments on their body. Such comments are absolutely distasteful and no skater should receive them. SelmaSiri really got it 👏🏻
You don't date a 13 years old to start with. As a 17 years old. 3-4 years gap is nothing when it comes to adults but for teenagers that's EVERYTHING. Physically, emotionally, mentally. 13 years olds are children. Anyone who was 13 then 17 can tell they are totally different.
Regarding the current accusation against Nikolaj Sorensen, please do NOT try to find out and then leak the victim's name for the sake of your curiosity. R*pe is not a joke!
And please believe the victim
The way it was completely the opposite this time. Sorensen is still out there competing and promoted. The two Korean skaters were immediately suspended as soon as the federation found out
There’s a case of se*ual harassment of junior skater going on. If the perpetrator was male skater from US or Russia I bet there’d be a new on BBC. However the perpetrators are one of skating community darlings from Korea like Haein Lee so “we can’t make accusations”. Hypocrisy

If you only have iPhone, this might not work, but I will try my best to stream the competition
What the fuck.
1. Haein, 19-year-old, talking about having kids and marrying a minor.
2. Her parents are strongly against it, they tried to educate her and she ignored it
Yeah she's fucked in her head.
Missing case of 16-year-old Alina Gorbacheva [English]:
Usually I don't post about Russia, but a child is missing & likely in serious danger, so this thread will be updating about the situation. Please share this, hopefully it can help. I hope she is found safe and sound.
You can be sad for Jia but Mao is a child, this is not her fault that she won! Hating and pitting children against each other are absolutely the worst thing you can do especially as an adult. We don't need a toxic rivalry, this will harm both Mao and Jia.
For the (potentially negative) private quotes crowd, I think it's extremely valid when athletes speak up. It's not other fans speaking up for athletes, it's them speaking against you themselves.
Don't act like all you give is constructive criticism, many are straight up bullying

I won't go off and mock people that are potentially going through mental issues, but I do think Kévin needs to withdraw from GPs and truly figure out what's wrong for first and foremost, himself, and secondly, other skaters that deserve a chance to compete at Grand Prix events
I'm trying to gather information (about the KSU drinking scandal) right now, but if what I heard was right, then they deserved it and I'd prefer NOT to see anyone on FSTwt defending them.
The Browns update: They unfortunately are losing their family house on Long Island, and will be separating to find more affordable accommodation.

Two senior female skaters are found drinking at a government-funded camp. One male skater entered female skaters' dorm (Both violated rules). KSU investigated and found that those two skaters s*xually molested/harassed the mentioned male skater, who is a minor/junior.
As some of you might have read on another platform, this activism was heavily opposed, due to concern over "distraction" to other innocent athletes. There were a few requests to stop this campaign.
However, after talking to many athletes, I've decided to keep this up.

I shared this on my priv but thought of sharing it here as well. After all allegations and "rumors" against this monster (the mom), I need her to be investigated. This is child abuse in broad daylight.
I mean this guy, Sebastian Mendez (yes the Spiderman guy at Skate Canada) is a professional in these tricks and still can get such falls. Imagine younger skaters trying this
The amount of young teens who are going to severely hurt themselves trying backflips is going to sky-rocket. And for what? Nobody wants to see backflips in every second program anyway
Not Aleks

Selevk0 thinking dating one (1) grown woman would magically remove his past of dating MULTIPLE children. What do you mean he was getting intimate with an ELEVEN years old girl.
Confirmed by credible sources, not "random comments on the internet"
I can't believe I have to clarify this stupid thing but I DON'T watch Russian competition. These photos happened to be on my timeline. I have spoken out against abuse and misconduct in figure skating and I posted this because this was an obvious case of one.

Sadly this likely won't happen, and it's sad to see how far will those monsterous parents go to satisfy their own ego. Elena's case is one of the most extreme and terrifying ones I have ever heard and I'm truly scared for her life
The 2 skaters involved in the sexual harassment scandal will be reported to Sports Ethics Center (highest-level sport federation) by KSU on 24/6.
KSU will also have a meeting with parents to completely review the athlete education program.
Hello. I am making flyers/pamphlets for the upcoming Worlds in Montréal, Canada regarding the recent s*xual assault cases. However, I need your help. Please write down any source you know (organizations, hotlines,...) for the victims.
Please spread this.
PLEASE put pressure on them. If you can go to Worlds, PLEASE put pressure there!
What you can do:
• Spread flyers
• Show your banners AND chant "Make skating safe" when the predator(s) skate!
• Don't walk out. Your presence to show support IN FRONT of the predator(s) matters!
"Negative reaction or not, backflips bring exposure and it's funny that FSTwt is mad over them"
FSTwt has always reacted negatively to backflips mainly due to its DANGER. I've heard bloody stories of ADULTS (let alone juniors) trying them. Smashed skulls aren't a joke.
Bring Palestinian flags to Worlds! There is a high chance the security can't recognize the flag and you can bring it to use during Israeli's performance!
Hold banners up. I've made a banner for you to print out, and a toned down version too in case the original might be marked as "derogatary". However, the original is more effective, and if you can, please try to use it, as the phrase is written in its full term, not abbreviation
As we have read the current accommodation situation of the Browns (very terrible of USFS I would say), I'd like to share the GoFundMe link of them to cover their expenses. Please consider donating or sharing to help, they've yet to reach 50% of their goal
This is the idea for the flyer. The other side will be used for resources. And if you have any suggestion to improve, please feel free to let me know.
Please write down sources/organizations/projects for the victims that you know:
One week to the Rhythm Dance at Worlds. Screw Reddit and whoever speaks against this, supporters and athletes have shown massive support to the activism. Let's get this done, about time our silence needed to be broken

🇮🇹 Massimo Scali (I don't take screenshots of every story of him, but he has been one of the most, if not the most prominent supporter in the skating world)
To think he got away for nearly a decade and went to not just one, but TWO Olympics is sickening me.
His family is apparently powerful in Australian Federation also. I hope justice will prevail, but it is so hurtful for the victims to be silenced for years before this.
Sofia Samodelkina MAY compete in Junior Grand Prix this year, as she is competing in a domestic junior competition in Kazakhstan.
Note: This isn't me reporting Russian skating, this legit came from entries list of Kazakh competition.
This is not just against Sorensen and Liu. I hope that by this, victims who initially chose to stay silent due to fear/lack of support can feel it from the audience & bring their cases to light. No victim should live under fear for something they're not at fault for.

With recent events about quints and backflips, wishing others (career-ending) injuries so that your favorites can win is disgustingly vile. Concussions kill. Just saying.
I also want to express my gratitude for the massive support from Twitter, which encourages me to continue after the responses on the other platform. I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone taking part in this, without you, this would not be possible. (4/4)
I have received support from athletes on this issue, who said this would not be disruptive, they would appreciate it, and it would be for the better of the sport. Besides that, there is always a possibility that another athlete/coach/...in the arena is also guilty.

@fs_gossips
He has never said ISU sent a message that they don't need unique elements. There are clips from the press conference even. Please stop making stuffs up.
Are people seriously mad about the fake Grand Prix assignments because I saw some of them have been calling me names lol. I thought we had done this every single year. That prank doesn't even harm anyone 😭
@qwgqgbqzcq1
Yes, I have read the article, yes, the lies are terrible, and no, a 17-year-old should NOT have any romantic relationship with a 13-year-old who literally looked exactly like a child (Dispatch literally outed who he is, but I won't drop names)
making accounts for junior/novice skaters is weird. i don't care if that novice skater competes in senior nationals they're still a NOVICE (under 13!). i'm not just talking about fsdelight i'm looking at some twitter accounts as well.
