Although Haein Lee shed tears the previous day due to personal issues, she entered the mixed zone today (after the free skate – ed.) with a composed expression. Reflecting on her emotions, she commented, “Yesterday, I couldn’t control my feelings well because my heart was too heavy. I think this is the first time I’ve shown such a bad performance in a championships, so it’s even more disheartening. However, there’s still World Championships, and since this is my job, I will do my best to show a better performance at Worlds.”
Having revealed having a personal difficulties the day before, Haein Lee couldn’t help but recall those moments and shed tears during morning practice. She openly shared, “It’s still a bit tough. Being a human, I kept thinking about it. The practice went well, and I thought ‘It’s okay, it’s okay,’ but due to the sudden emergence of a bad memories, it comes up unexpectedly. To be honest, there wasn’t any significant problem with my body, and my condition was fine. However, because of that sudden change, even though I should have done well, I feel a bit weak. Now that the competition is over, I need to take a break or maybe meet frequently with a sports psychologist to overcome this.”
