Competitor Suzanne Schulting may miss Games after controversial apps | To skate

sport">A spokesman for the union said that Shim can still appeal to the Olympic committee of her country or go to court. A meeting of the committee’s disciplinary committee is scheduled for January 14, three weeks before the start of the Beijing Olympics.

sport">The sentence comes after Shim was previously discredited by controversial text messages she sent during the 2018 Winter Games. In it she suggested that she could opt for foul play in the final of the 1000 meters. She said she wanted to create a “female Steven Bradbury” if necessary if the race did not go to her liking. Australian Bradbury won gold in the men’s 1000 meters at the 2002 Games after all his opponents crashed in the last corner.

No evidence of intent

sport">Shim fell in the final won by Suzanne Schulting, taking her compatriot Choi Min-jeong with her. The South Korean skating association found no evidence of intent in the fall.

sport">Shim won gold with the relay team in the 3000 meters at both the 2014 Games in Sochi and the 2018 Games in Pyeongchang.
