In the men's single skating short program competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Competition, which was the first to be held today, Chen Wei of the American team created a personal season best with a score of 111.71 points, ranking first, and won 10 team points for the American team. Japan's Yusheng Yushin did not play, which made "it feels like the whole world is looking for Yusheng knots" and "Habu knots have not yet come" has become a hot search term on social media.
Sochi and Pingchang Winter Olympics men's singles champion Yu Yu is undoubtedly one of the most popular athletes in this Winter Olympics. As the game approaches, fans are waiting for the arrival of Yu Yusuke. The adaptation training of athletes at the Capital Gymnasium before the competition also attracted many journalists from all over the world, and their goal was to tie the knot. However, Yu Sheng seemed to be playing hide-and-seek with everyone, and under the focus of the world's attention, he still could not find his figure. On February 3, the Japan Skating Union posted a video of Yu Yu's knotted strings. In the video, Yu Yu said, "Thank you for your continued support. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, including 4A and other actions, I will definitely try to win. For me, everyone's support is indispensable, and please pay more attention to it later. I will try! ”
However, in today's figure skating team competition men's single skating short program, Yu yusei did not play, representing the Japanese team in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics silver medalist Masama Uno. According to the latest report of the Japanese media "Sino-Japanese Sports", at the scene of the figure skating team competition of the Beijing Olympic Games, Japanese reporters saw the subtitles of the Japanese tv broadcast screen, and the back of Yusheng's name was marked "WD (Abstain)."
Some commentators believe that Yu yushin gave up the team competition, most likely to protect the single person skating to defend the title. In December last year, Yusei yushin publicly stated that he hoped to win his third Winter Olympic singles skating gold medal in Beijing after Sochi and Pingchang. For this gold medal, he will take out the 4A Axel 4 weeks jump at the Beijing Winter Olympics. It's a super difficult maneuver, jumping, spinning, landing with 5-8 times your own weight, all of which happens in less than a second. On December 23, 2021, Yusheng Yuxin 4A fell on the ice for the first time, achieving a historic breakthrough in human figure skating.
There was no Yusheng knot to participate, and the men's single in the team competition slid into Chen Wei's performance. Three-time World Champion and American star Chen Wei changed his short program to the opera "Bohemian" before the National Championships. After the opening, the inner point ice four weeks, Axel three weeks, the hooker in the second half of the show four weeks followed by the outer point ice three weeks all played flawlessly, three rotations and a set of continuous steps are all four levels, the technical score is 63.85, the program content score is 47.86, and the short program gets 111.71 points to refresh the first place in the personal season best, and get 10 points.
It is foreseeable that in the men's single skating competition of this Winter Olympics, Yusheng Yuxian and Chen Wei are likely to stage a peak showdown.
