[edit] Biography
Choi was born on May 25, 1988 in Daejeon, South Korea.
Choi was the leading South Korean senior skater in 2005. She attempted to qualify South Korea a spot in the ladies event at the 2006 Olympics, but placed 11th at the KSM, and so didn't qualify.
Choi won the bronze medal at the 2007 Nationals. However, the Nationals results were not reported correctly to the ISU, and so the ISU has her down officially as placing 5th. (The ISU also has Kim Yeona winning, but Kim did not even compete at those Nationals.) In fact, only four senior ladies competed at the 2007 Nationals and so it is impossible for Choi to have placed 5th.
Choi has been credited with performing a flying layback spin in competition.[1] She is one of the few skaters to achieve this distinction.
