With the end of the opening ceremony, the major competitions of the Winter Olympic Games officially began. Athletes on the mainland have also become the focus of all sectors of society recently. Whether Chinese players can win the most gold medals at home has also become the biggest wish in the hearts of many people. When it comes to women's figure skating, the biggest focus in recent times is Zhu Yi.
In 2018, at the age of 16, Zhu Yi won the Rookie Championships at the National Figure Skating Championships with a score of 35 points beyond the second place, which once caused quite a stir in the world. Just when the outside world thought that Zhu Yihui, who was born and raised in the United States, had been serving the United States, the following year, Zhu Yi resolutely gave up his American citizenship and announced to the world that "he is a Chinese." This talented figure skater has also won the recognition of many Chinese people. At this year's Winter Olympics, Zhu Yi also became the only female participant.
With Zhu Yi's strength, it is possible to win the gold medal, so this single seedling has also attracted considerable attention from the outside world. In fact, Zhu Yi's winter Olympic quota was won by Chen Hongyi, another figure skating goddess on the mainland. That year, with Chen Hongyi's outstanding performance at the World Championships, the Chinese team won the only women's single skating spot in the Winter Olympics. As early as that time, netizens once ridiculed "Chen Hongyi" for winning this quota for himself.
After the winter Olympic women's single skating selection list was announced, the appearance of three beautiful women once surprised netizens, Zhu Yi, Chen Hongyi and Lin Shan. To say that the most "heartwarming" netizens is chen hongyi of one meter and seven two, she is the tallest of the three people, slender legs with beautiful dance posture, coupled with super high appearance, the proper C sense of the three, and even some netizens jokingly call it "fairy under the mortal"!
Why did Chen Hongyi lose the election?
However, Chen Hongyi scored 8.14 points less than Zhu Yi in the final selection competition, so he was not selected for the Winter Olympics. Chen Hongyi's failure to be elected is not a small controversy in the eyes of the outside world, and perhaps many people still have such a question in their minds: "Why should I choose Zhu Yi?"?
Before the start of the selection competition, the coaching team determined a clear selection criteria, and used the "3 stops and 5 matches" selection match to determine the final quota. In the selection competition, the referee team will score the three players in full accordance with international standards, which means that whoever gets the highest score will get the "ticket" for the Winter Olympics.
After the start of the audition, although Lin Shan was once ahead in the initial score, due to the great fluctuation of the degree of completion, she finally scored 716.68 points. Chen Hongyi also had some small problems in the completion process that affected her score, and finally scored 724.46 points. In contrast, Zhu Yi's performance in the selection match was the most stable of the three, and finally scored the highest score of 732.6 points. In this way, Chen Hongyi regrettably lost the election with a difference of 8 points.
Although he did not get involved in the Winter Olympics, Chen Hongyi still sighed in weibo some time ago: "I am very lucky, the preparation for the war has brought us together!" She also expressed her gratitude to all the teachers, teammates, staff, etc. who helped her, and with their company, she also had an unparalleled time.
At present, the only women's single skating project in the mainland has been determined, although Chen Hongyi's failure is somewhat regrettable, but the selection is fair, and then we only need to focus on Zhu Yi's body. In fact, as early as September 2018, Zhu Yi joined the mainland national team training, on the whole, Zhu Yi's strength is not weak, in the future competition, we still want to wish Zhu Yi can get the best results and live up to the expectations of the Chinese people!
