My Take
Men's singles figure skating is, to me, one of the loneliest disciplines in sport, which is why Byun Se-jong earns my quiet respect. Hailing from Daegu and born in 1998, he reached the free skate at two Four Continents Championships and took bronze at the 2018 CS Asian Open Trophy. He may never have touched the world podium, but persisting on the ice for years in a Korean skating scene crowded with megastars is no small feat. I care less about the color of the medal than about the sheer stubbornness it takes to keep stepping onto the rink. That kind of perseverance deserves applause.
