Beijing, February 3 (China News Network) (Reporter Zhang Su) The first round of the first round of the team competition of the figure skating event of the Beijing Winter Olympics will be held at 9:55 on the 4th. On the evening of the 3rd, the list of participants of each team was finally revealed.

Among them, Jin Boyang will represent the Chinese team. At the last Winter Olympics, Jin Boyang won the fourth place in the men's single skating event. This is also the best result achieved by Chinese athletes in the figure skating men's singles event at the Winter Olympics.

The Japanese team qualified for the men's singles event at the Winter Olympics. In addition to two-time Winter Olympics men's singles gold medalist Yusuke Yusuke, there is also Pyeongchang Winter Olympics men's singles silver medalist Masama Uno and World Championships New Branch men's singles runner-up Yumasa Jiyama. According to the newly announced list, the responsibility of the team's "debut" falls on the shoulders of Masama Uno. On the morning of the 3rd, Uno Masama made his first time on the ice, and he said after training that he "did not feel any discomfort at all" and said that he "believes that he will be more relaxed during the game."

The U.S. team sent three-time figure skating world champion Chen Wei. Since arriving in Beijing, the player has trained at the Capital Gymnasium several times and has always worn a mask during the exercise.

It should be pointed out that the figure skating team competition is the third time to appear in the Winter Olympics after Sochi and Pyeongchang. Compared with individual events, the team competition tests the overall strength of the team. Since different players can be sent out in short programs and free skates, the platooning of each team often reflects different tactical strategies.

It is also reported that the list of participants in the team competition of this Winter Olympics is "late" because the teams need to wait for the athletes' nucleic acid test results to come out before "making a decision". (End)
