On the afternoon of December 24, Beijing time, the men's singles competition of the All-Day Figure Skating Championships will be played in Saitama. On the evening after the end of the free skating competition, the Japanese Winter Olympic team will directly announce the number of figure skating men's singles participants.
At the pre-match press conference, Yu Sheng said that participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics was not decided by himself, but needed to participate in open and fair competition, and he said that he let the all-day championship decide whether to go to Beijing or not.
Of course, this is a self-effacing statement, and the Japan Ice Association stipulates that players who have been on the podium of the World Championships in the previous season are eligible to participate in the Winter Olympics.
The competition is imminent, and we will analyze the current state of Yu yu and the comparison between the competitors in the same country through this all-day championship.
First of all, let's talk about the quota in Japan. In the figure skating men's singles of the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle, Japan, the United States and Russia have all won 3 men's singles full qualifications.
The Pyeongchang cycle, Yusei knotted the string domination, followed by Japan's Masama Uno, and the figure skating men's singles jumped into a white-hot 4-week jump. After entering the Beijing cycle, The Japanese rookie Jianshan Youyou became a new weapon with outstanding real strength.
Gold Medal Hit: Feather Knot String
Due to the impact of the epidemic and injuries, Yu Yu has rarely played since 2020, and lost to his old rival Chen Wei at this year's World Championships and missed the championship.
Yu Sheng's honor naturally needless to say, he is the 66-year-old Winter Olympic figure skating men's singles defending champion, the only grand slam player in figure skating men's singles, 19 times to break the world record, the world's first jump out of the loop 4 weeks, just yesterday, he became the world's first player to successfully fall on the ice 4A.
As one of the top players in winter sports events, Yusuke Yusuke has shown his amazing dominance and influence since the beginning of the Sochi cycle. The youth group slam, stepping on the age line to promote the group began to cross the level to fight monsters, from the opponent is the older senior to the younger generation, sochi Paris promenade began to break the world record, "Yin and Yang Division" directly canonized.
Today, yusheng knots have been raised for ten years and are still the center of figure skating.
Foreign media once commented: "There are many excellent athletes in the world. Above this is the great athlete, and above that is the feather knot. ”
This season, Yusei Yushin returned with the 4A jump and successfully fell on the ice in the public training of the past. Although there are flaws, I admit it frankly: "I did not make my full strength, and the free skating will challenge the 4A."
In addition, Yu Yu is a real "hexagonal warrior", and the iron plate 3A needless to say, at present, only the rear inner point ice jump is left in the four-week jump and is not used in the program. His footwork, gliding, and expressive skills are unparalleled.
From the sexy little prince of rock to the quiet and gentle piano music, his competition program is varied in style and always gives people a different surprise. Because he was the victim of the 3.11 earthquake, his performance slide show was always expressing his awe of life and thinking about the world.
According to statistics, Yu yu is currently the contestant with the largest number of 0 mistakes in the program. He has also said that rather than saying that he is the object that the younger generation wants to catch up with, it is better to say that everyone wants to approach the goal.
At the beginning of the season, he missed the Grand Prix due to a right foot injury, and the next full-day championship will be his debut. In the public training a few days ago, he not only successfully challenged the 4A, but also returned to the advanced jump, which showed that he was in good shape.
Even if he does not participate in the full day, according to Japan's Winter Olympic selection rules, he is eligible to enter the Beijing Winter Olympics.
This season his short show is "Introduction and Boomerang", a brand new set of shows with jump compositions of 4S, 4T3T and 3A. Free skating follows last season's "With Heaven and Earth", the first jump in the show is 4A, and he will once again show everyone the unique Japanese performance of Yusei Yushin with this epoch-making jump.
All in all, Yusei is returning to his form after overcoming injuries over a period of time, and he himself says that the current loading is even better than before the injury. Coupled with the 4A moves he just practiced, the advantage in content performance points, and amazing willpower, he is still Chen Wei's strongest opponent.
Gold Medal Reserve: Key Mountain Yugen
Born in 2003, after winning the silver medal at the World Championships last season, yumasa Akiyama officially joined the ranks of the world men's singles line and became a new backbone player in Japan's men's singles.
Although the 4-week jump reserve is not as much as that of the predecessors, at present, only the lowest technical score of the post-outer point ice and the post-inner knot ring are 4 weeks, and he is practicing hooking for four weeks and the back outer knot ring for 4 weeks, but his biggest advantage is stability.
Perhaps it is "the newborn calf is not afraid of the tiger", his psychological quality is extremely strong, the ice is clean, the gliding is smooth, even if the short program has a mistake, the free skating can also play well without being affected, and regain the medal.
This season, KeyShan Yu is the only grand prix double-crowned men's singles player, and its potential needs to be tapped.
Former world second person: Masama Uno
Masamo Uno of the Pyeongchang Cycle Ascension Group was nicknamed "Japanese Luhan" because of his cute appearance. (In fact, it should be the black name given by Yusheng knot fans, but if you accidentally go out of the circle 23333, take it down if it is inappropriate, Lu Han's traffic is estimated to attract scolding hahaha)
Daily little confused, and the field judgment of the two people, because of always a light and breezy expression, ice fans ridicule his proper salt teenager.
Silver medal at two World Championships, silver medal in the finals of two Grand Prix, silver medal at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, and winner of four all-day championships. Because PyeongChang won all the silver medals in international competitions during the season, the strength should not be underestimated. Although he has only won one gold medal on four continents in international competitions so far, and his status has declined slightly in the past two years, he is still at the forefront of the first-line men's singles.
Now, Uno Masaaki has a more difficult hand to hold the back inner point ice for 4 weeks, the increasingly stable rear outer knot ring for 4 weeks, the rear inner knot ring for 4 weeks, and the back outer point ice for 4 weeks.
Masamori Uno is back in form this season and is looking forward to the next performance.
Winter Olympic podium possibilities: some difficulties.
The above is an analysis of these three Japanese players, according to the current strength of the three and the results of two of them in the World Championships, the Japanese Winter Olympic figure skating men's singles list can be almost certain, Yu Yusei is now facing the strong challenge of Key Mountain Yujin, this all-day championship, looking forward to the direct confrontation between the two.
