TOKYO/SEOUL - American skater Mariah Bell could meet with Lim Eun-soo later on Friday to apologize for making contact with the South Korean during a warm-up at the World Championships and leaving the teenager with a cut leg, the Korea Skating Union said.
Video of the incident on social media showed Lim skating at the edge of the rink when Bell came up quickly behind her, leg outstretched in her routine, and just as quickly passed her by. The ISU said the incident was “verbally reported” to the ISU by the Korean team leader but it had received no formal complaint.
When asked for comment on Bell’s apology on Friday, All That Sports said they were unable to until they had checked with their official on site.Japan’s Yuzuru Hanyu once performed with a bandage on his face after coming into contact with another skater, while French pairs skater Vanessa James fell after colliding with an Italian competitor during their warm up on Wednesday.
Memories of that incident perhaps contributed to the social media frenzy surrounding Thursday’s collision and there were calls for calm ahead of Friday’s crucial free skate.
