On February 6, Beijing time, in the qualifying competition of the figure skating team competition, although the Chinese women's singles player Zhu Yi made a major mistake, scoring only 47.03 points in the women's singles short program competition, ranking first from the bottom, only the Chinese team got a point, but the Chinese team and Georgia both accumulated 22 points, and the total points were the same, the Chinese team won the qualification, why is this?
According to the corresponding rules, in the case of two teams with the same points, it is necessary to select tiebreakers, that is, to see the highest two points.
In other words, it is because the Chinese duo Sui Wenjing/Han Cong won the first place in the pair skating competition and won 10 points, and Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu got 6 points in the ice dance rhythm dance, so that the highest two points in the Chinese team reached 16 points combined.
The highest two points in Georgia (7 points in men's singles and 7 points in women's singles) add up to only 14 points, so that the Chinese team has advanced to a thrilling way.
In the competition, the promotion of the Chinese team is extremely dramatic, and Zhu Yi's best record in the women's singles short program this season is 60.00 points. Perhaps it is rare to appear so early, or perhaps it is the lack of experience in the competition, she is slightly nervous, there are different degrees of mistakes, first after the inner point ice three weeks of jumping, then the outer point ice three weeks of jumping and falling, and then in the back of the outer ring three weeks jumped up into the air. In the end, he scored only 47.03 points.
The total points of the Chinese team and Georgia are also 22 points, you know, the top five teams in the qualification tournament have qualified for the free skating, but the goddess of luck still fell on the Chinese team, although Zhu Yi made a huge mistake, but the Chinese team still obtained the qualification.
It is worth mentioning that at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Chinese team ranked sixth, regrettably stopped. Today, at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese team has also achieved a breakthrough.
