Beijing, February 6 (China Youth Daily, China Youth Daily reporter Ci Xin/Wen Li Junhui/photo) 19-year-old Zhu Yi stepped on the Winter Olympics for the first time. At 9:30 this morning, she was the first athlete to appear in the women's singles short program of the figure skating team competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The audience gave the warmest applause to the only female single skater in China at the Winter Olympics, and also looked forward to her good performance, helping the Chinese figure skating team break into the second stage of the team competition for the first time in history.
Zhu Yi felt nervous, and she wiped her tears as she recalled her imperfect Winter Olympic debut after the game.
Zhu Yi made two serious mistakes in the game, especially the second mistake of taking off and stepping on the air, which was unbelievable. Zhu Yi scored 47.03, well below the 60-point high of the season. After she stepped off the field, she thought that because her performance today was far from expectations, the Chinese figure skating team would definitely lose the opportunity to qualify for the second stage of the team competition, and she cried.
Zhu Yi, who walked into the mixed interview area, still couldn't help but cry, "I know that everyone is expecting my performance, I would like to show them my ability, unfortunately, I didn't do it." ”
For the mistakes that occurred in the game, Zhu Yi has a hard time recalling, "I don't even remember what happened at that time. I was really sad. ”
Before this morning's team competition women's single skating short program, the Chinese team ranked third in the team men's singles short program, ice dance rhythm dance, and double skating short program in the sum of the three results, especially the "onion barrel combination" ranked first in the pair skating short program, making the Chinese figure skating team's hope of entering the second stage of the team competition for the first time in the history of the Winter Olympics. Zhu Yi's mistake in the game today made her think that she not only failed to play a role for the Chinese team to advance to the second stage of the team competition, but also dragged her feet.
The U.S.-born Chinese returned to China in 2019. In January this year, with the end of the five competitions of the Chinese figure skating team's Beijing Winter Olympics selection tournament, Zhu Yi ranked first in the total points, and won the only Beijing Winter Olympic qualification for the Chinese figure skating team in the women's singles event.
Zhu Yi, who returned to the motherland, is most looking forward to representing China in the Winter Olympics held at his doorstep, and he also hopes to add luster to the Chinese women's singles event with his performance.
Unfortunately, she debuted at the Winter Olympics, but her start was not perfect.
But the good news is that when the women's single skating short program competition in the morning team competition was all over, the Chinese team finally ranked fifth, and the pressure line broke into the second stage of the figure skating team competition, which was a historic breakthrough for the Chinese figure skating team, before, the Chinese team had never qualified for the second stage of the figure skating team competition of the Winter Olympics.
Although the debut of the Winter Olympics is flawed, the result of the game is still dark and bright, for Zhu Yi, it is necessary to adjust his mood and state as soon as possible, and strive to show his most perfect side in the second stage of the team competition and the subsequent single competition.
