An athletes' group has raised further allegations of sexual abuse in South Korean speed skating in the wake of claims by two-time Olympic champion Shim Suk-hee that her former coach repeatedly raped her.
A group representing the athletes, the Solidarity for Young Skaters, said it found five more skaters who were sexually abused by their coaches but did not reveal any names, citing privacy concerns.
Representative Sohn Hye-won, who appeared at the same news conference, said one of the alleged victims said she was repeatedly groped by a coach as a teen while training at the Korea National Sport University (KNSU), a powerhouse in producing Olympic athletes.
"During the training, the coach forcibly hugged and kissed the skater, saying he was correcting her posture. Also, the coach demanded her to watch a movie together and have a meal together outside (the ice rink). When the skater rejected his demand, he lashed out at her," Sohn said.
The athlete has since left the sport.
