The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which has been waiting for many years, is finally coming. Although according to the past tradition, the Most Popular Winter Olympics event for Chinese audiences is the most competitive and ornamental short track speed skating, and this is also our traditional gold medal project, but after several years of recruitment, the Chinese Winter Olympic delegation now has some talent reserves in many projects.
On January 25, Beijing time, Zhu Yi, a figure skating goddess who was naturalized in China, shared her own dynamics on social media, and she and other Chinese Winter Olympic teams took the oath under the five-star red flag, determined to win honors for the Chinese team. In the photo, she smiles like a flower, pure and lovely, very sweet and warm. Zhu Yi, 19, was born in Los Angeles, USA, began to learn to skate at the age of 7, won the national figure skating championship in the rookie group of the National Figure Skating Championships at the age of 16, and joined the Chinese nationality in 2019, officially joining the Chinese figure skating camp.
You know, Zhu Yi's emergence in the competition for women's singles qualifications at the Winter Olympics has caused a lot of controversy, and the outside world has a variety of opinions about her selection, many people question the rules are not open and transparent, and even question that she was selected by virtue of her celebrity father who was a scientist. However, Wang Yumin, chief referee and international referee of the Chinese Figure Skating Olympic Selection Tournament, and the technical team have actually responded to the controversy.
It turned out that although the three figure skating goddesses participating in the election all had difficulty reserves, lin shan made too many mistakes and had poor stability, and Chen Hongyi's starting blade and week number had different problems. In contrast, only Zhu Yi has the best stability and high quality, so there is no problem in selecting according to the rules. Zhu Yi, Chen Hongyi and Lin Shan each had a good performance, but Zhu Yi was very contentious to rank first with a total of 732.60 points, and won the only ticket to the Chinese figure skating women's singles event.
Since Chen Lu won The World Championships in Birmingham, England, in 1995 for China, the project has been in a long-term slump. Overall, although Zhu Yi has made China's comprehensive strength of figure skating stronger, there are still some gaps from becoming the world's first, and it is not enough to rely on one Zhu Yi, we need to cultivate more talents.
