As the start of the figure skating team event draws closer, players from all over the world are trying to adjust their status, and several players in China are also seizing the time to train, hoping to make a breakthrough in the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics.
"It feels like there are more and more people these days, and we are getting more and more excited and feeling better and better." Chinese pair skater Sui Wenjing said so.
Sui Wenjing/Han Cong combination
The onion bucket combination can't wait to play
Yesterday evening, two Pairs of Chinese duo Sui Wenjing/Han Cong and Peng Cheng/Jin Yang appeared at the Capital Gymnasium. They mainly practiced free skating, and the success rate was very high.
Yesterday's training, Sui Wenjing was still dressed beautifully. A short backless fuchsia skirt with playful pigtails is a different style from the black skirt with yellow coiled buttons on the first day of training. Throwing jumps, twists, and even the single jump that Sui and Han have made the most frequent mistakes this season, this time there was no major problem.
At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong missed the gold medal by 0.43 points. Stuck in an Olympic cycle, they wanted to make up for their regrets on their doorstep this time, and both said they couldn't wait to play.
And Peng Cheng/Jin Yang has also grown very fast this season, and in today's training, the two of them and the track of the movie "Night Feast" quickly entered the state, trying to control the body and strive for the accuracy of the action. At the Winter Olympics, their goal is to challenge the medals.
After the training, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, known as the combination of onions and barrels, were interviewed by reporters, and Sui Wenjing said: "I feel very excited, I feel better and better." The team competition is about to start, and we also hope that our Chinese team can play at the best level, and hope that the opponents can also enjoy the competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics. ”
This Winter Olympics coincided with the Spring Festival, and the onion barrel combination on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve night also trained very late before going back to rest. In this regard, Sui Wenjing smiled and said: "We are very accustomed to not going home for the Spring Festival. As a figure skater, the ice and snow season is in winter, and there are always many competitions. If you do the math, we've been at home for the New Year in ten years. However, this time the feeling is more special, because it is during the Spring Festival to participate in the Winter Olympics held at the doorstep of the family, of course, I want to have a breakthrough. ”
Jin Boyang completed the four-week jump with high quality
Two hours after the pair skaters' training, the team players returned to the ice and began training. Jin Boyang made his debut in the first group of training in the men's single skating. In training, he mainly practiced free skating, and in the music of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he completed the four-way jump with high quality, and the overall state was good.
Judging from this season's World Series performance, Jin Boyang's jumping action is unstable, affecting his final results, and the focus of the coaching staff's recent work is to help him adjust his mentality and regain the feeling of jumping around.
Judging from yesterday's training performance, Jin Boyang's training results during this time are remarkable, whether it is a jump around or even a jump, it is completed cleanly and sharply, and the success rate is very high.
In preparation for the Winter Olympics, Jin Boyang has lost ten pounds in the past year. In this regard, Jin Boyang said: "The amount of training in the recent year is really large, maybe twice the amount of preparation for the last Olympic Games. And I myself am also very careful in my diet, coupled with appendicitis some time ago, so I have lost a lot of weight. ”
Compared with the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago, Jin Boyang, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the second time, admitted that he has more experience, more mature mind and technology. "Because I had never seen such a big scene, I was nervous in the last session. This time it felt completely different, my feelings were very excited, very happy, very enjoyable, or grown! ”
On the eve of the opening of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Jin Boyang's mentality is very peaceful: "Now I can enjoy it happily, including every day of training and preparing for the game, I enjoy the process very much." I hope to be able to have a good state at home to meet my own era. Your own mentality is the most important, flat, don't think too much, just do every detail. ”
According to the schedule, the figure skating team competition will start on the morning of February 4, and the Chinese team has already determined that the players are men's singles player Jin Boyang, women's singles player Zhu Yi and ice dance combination Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu, and it has not yet been determined who will play in the two pairs of double skating.
Last night, Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu and Zhu Yi also participated in pre-match training.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is the second Winter Olympics in which Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu participated, and when asked about the feeling of the home game, the two said: "I feel a little pressure, because I want to perform better at the Winter Olympics on my doorstep; but more of a feeling of luck, proud to stand here."
For this extraordinary event, they also specially made a new set of free dance competition clothes, creatively based on Chinese landscape paintings, male companion is mountain, female companion is water, painted with Chinese classical patterns, taking the meaning of green mountains and green water.
The two said that the programming of this free dance has two meanings, one is to show the two people's journey in the past four years, and the other is to show Chinese culture on the Olympic stage. "The Winter Olympics, it's at the doorstep again, it's a stage like a dream, so the design of our dress wants to express the feeling of a great river and mountain." Wang Shiyue said.
The 19-year-old Zhu Yi is participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time. In response, she said: "Of course the pressure is a lot, but I will try to turn the pressure into motivation. ”
