At the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics in Gangwon, South Korea, the Korean Skating Union (KSU) has filed a formal complaint with the International Skating Union (ISU) over a recent incident in which a Chinese athlete was suspected of intentionally committing a foul to win a medal.

The Chinese sports teams’ past record of cheating in international competitions has been under scrutiny repeatedly and has even triggered a wave of anti-Communist China sentiment among young people in South Korea.
