Axel, once considered an "absolutely impossible" and "not a human-to-human action," jumped around the world on December 23, 2021, at the Saitama Arena in Japan, as confirmed by figure skater Yusuke Habu , that it can be completed.
Although this one jump, which was only completed in public training, is not yet perfect, and as Yusei yushin himself said, "without full strength, it still needs to be adjusted", its realization does confirm the Olympic spirit - higher, faster, stronger. The limits of humanity can be constantly broken.
After today's challenge of Yusheng Knot, some media also asked: Where is the limit of human figure skating?
Many people replied: This may depend on where the limit of the feathered string is.
And more importantly, you don't know where his limits are, where his "ultimate form" is.
In the 2019 GPF, Yusei Yushin tried the 4A jump in public for the first time. On that day, he was full of reluctance and courage, and he was not yet able to complete the 4A challenge. On that day, the heavy sounds of falling on the ice rink in Turin were still heartbreaking "knowingly not to do" challenges.
Seeing 4A in public is already the WTT of 2021. At the GALA rehearsal after all the competitions, Yu yusho once again tried to play 4A, this time the challenge is a completely different form from 2019, in addition to not falling on the ice, the form in the air is very close to the completion.
But what does such a challenge bring? Shortly after the ice show, Yu Yusei opened his pants leg under the questioning of his friends. All over the place!
What happened in the 8 months after that?
No one knows.
Maybe it is countless attempts, trial and error, trial and error, trial and error, try the unknown brought about, not to mention how much bruise. Or perhaps because there is really no way to learn from it, it is impossible to find a breakthrough for a long time, and the endless loneliness, frustration, and powerlessness generated by a person's confused exploration.
We only know that after 8 months, what is presented to the world is already a completely different form of 4A than at WTT!
Not only is it as simple as being able to fall on the ice, but the high distance, the degree of power, and the lightness of the jump are the 4A after achieving a comprehensive evolution of qualitative change!
More importantly, if the 4A tried at WTT, the Yusheng knot string also used a longer entry trajectory, then the 4A that successfully fell on the ice in this 2021 all-day public training is already a standard "Habu knot string A jump" with choreographed footwork and ultra-short standby!

Ice fans who had been feeling emo the night before when Yu Yusuke said that the "4A or unfinished" state instantly understood. In fact, Yusei Yushin himself said it! For him, the so-called success of the 4A has never been "4A falling on the ice". What he pursues has always been a 4A that includes 4A, and the ice falling is also beautifully completed, and the very smooth 4A is to become an "art" 4A!
So we come back to the question – where is the limit of human figure skating? That depends on where the limits of the feather string are.
Of course, this answer does not mean that every progress of human figure skating is related to him.
But it must be admitted that from winning the Sochi Winter Olympics for the first time at the age of 19 in 2014 to the Pyeongchang Lianba, he, as a "figure skating changeover", pushed the figure skating era into the "true four-sided jumping era".
During this period, whether it is breaking the 300-point mark of figure skating, to the first achievement of the 4Lo jump, and then to the initial completion of the 4A of "Hmmm Limit", every evolution of The Feather String is also promoting the evolution of figure skating.
From a young boy with the dream of an Olympic champion (two) to a figure skating king who finally holds a "jump card I can jump" in his hand, and is walking towards his own feather string of the third Winter Olympics, no matter what kind of achievements will be achieved in the future, he has written a wonderful and unique history in the history of figure skating.
Millions of champions, and great forerunners, like the morning star.
