Jin Boyang, the fourth place in men's singles at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, represented the Chinese team and was the fourth of all athletes to appear. Under the soundtrack of the martial arts movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Jin Boyang, dressed in a newly made aqua blue competition suit, soon took out a "trick" to jump around. Unfortunately, he fell on the second jump (the rear outer point ice jump around) and ended up scoring 82.87 points.

Jin Boyang objectively evaluated the gains and losses in the post-match interview. In response to a question from a reporter from China News Service, he said that his overall performance was good, although the second jump failed, but fortunately in the third jump in time to adjust the state. He also said that every player in the game may fail, and the key is to accept the failure and avoid being negatively affected by the more you slip.

"If you fail, you have to adjust, change the next action, I think you must be calm." Jin Boyang said that during the competition, one is not to think about how many places he can get, and the other is not to think about what the opponent will play, that is, to focus on his own actions and try to minimize the deductions.

The men's singles short program competition is divided into two groups, Jin Boyang and other 4 players belong to the first group, the second group has 5 players, including Japan's Uno Masama, the United States team's Chen Wei and other famous players.

Masamo Uno, who preceded Chen Wei, had no obvious mistakes in the jump action, and the jump was well completed, and he set a new personal best for the short program with 105.46 points.

Masami Uno said after the game that he did not want to compete only with a negative attitude of "cannot fail", and he did not want to cause trouble to the whole team. The Winter Olympics is a special event, and I have to continuously improve my competitive level. He also said he hoped the whole team would be able to smile at the end of the team match.

Chen Wei, who then appeared on the scene, performed well, scoring 111.71 points. It was also the highest score of the game. According to the team format, Chen Wei scored 10 points for the team, making the United States lead the standings.

Some media have noticed that Chen Wei's score in the short program has approached the record best (111.82 points) created by the defending champion of the Winter Olympic figure skating men's singles and Japan's Yu yusuke. For the "duel" between the Yusheng knot string and the Yusheng knot at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chen Wei bluntly said that the two were not "competitive", saying that the Yu Sheng knot string is the benchmark for figure skating, which promotes the development of the sport. "It's great that we can skate together." Chen Wei said. (End)
