TOKYO/SEOUL (Reuters) - American skater Mariah Bell could meet with Lim Eun-soo later on Friday to apologise for making contact with the South Korean during a warm-up at the World Championships and leaving the teenager with a cut leg, the Korea Skating Union (KSU) said.

The International Skating Union has already issued a statement saying they are satisfied that Thursday's incident, which for some fanned memories of the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan affair in the 1990s, was unintentional.
