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 National among four senior ladies,^[1] however the ISU has a wrong result of the Nationals.

Choi has been credited with performing a flying layback spin in competition.^[2] She is one of the few skaters to achieve this distinction.
