In the figure skating team competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a 19-year-old girl stepped into everyone's field of vision and competed in the first stage of the women's singles short skating program. Zhu Yi, a 19-year-old, made his first appearance for the Chinese team and scored 47.03 points. Despite two very serious mistakes and falls in the whole set of actions, the Chinese team still pressed the line to advance to the next round.
After the game, Zhu Yi politely declined the reporter's interview at the end of the game, and it can be seen from her face that she is not so satisfied with her Olympic debut.
After all, in the game, it can be seen that Zhu Yi really wants to fight, she tried Philippe three weeks of jumping in the opening game and then the outside ice three weeks jump, the difficulty is higher than the technical action difficulty in the previous italian competition, but unfortunately it did not succeed.
In a post-match interview, Zhu Yi said: "I would like to show everyone my ability, but unfortunately I did not do it, did not contribute to the team, I feel very sad. I am very grateful to every member of the Chinese team, who has always accompanied me and encouraged me. ”
As a former national rookie women's singles champion, Zhu Yi has carried full expectations since his debut. Born in Los Angeles, Usa, Zhu Yi began learning to skate at the age of 7. His father, Zhu Songchun, is a well-known computer vision expert, a professor at UCLA, and the current dean of the Institute of Artificial Intelligence at Peking University. A good family environment has put Zhu Yi on the road of figure skating and achieved good results.
That year, before Zhu Yi became a Chinese national, she won the women's singles championship in the rookie category of the National Figure Skating Championships in January 2018 with a result of up to 35 points beyond the second place, becoming another rising star in the American figure skating world.
In September of the same year, Zhu Yi joined the "Morning Road Project" China Figure Skating National Training Team coached by former world champion Chen Lu, and was the only female single skater at the time of the establishment of the training team. On December 30, 2018, Zhu Yi participated in the women's singles competition of the 2018-19 National Figure Skating Championships held in Harbin in his personal capacity, finishing 4th with 146.07 points.
In 2019, Zhu Yi joined the Chinese nationality and began to represent China in international competitions. When it comes to becoming a Chinese citizen, Zhu Yi always mentions his father. This is because although Zhu Yi grew up in the United States, she has a very deep affection for China. Patriotic education has enabled Zhu Yi to understand the truth of "wearing a dress on the body, and the heart is the heart of China" from an early age.
Zhu Yi's father was a high-achieving student at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in the 1990s, and then went to the United States for further study, and a few years later he received a doctorate. Zhu Yide's father has been in charge of national projects in the United States many times, and most importantly, he has raised a daughter who is proud of his countrymen.
As Zhu Yi began to represent China in international competitions, she also gradually came to prominence in international competitions. In November 2021, at the Figure Skating Grand Prix in Italy, Zhu Yi set a new record for the best score in women's single skating of his career with 171.25 points.
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 number of points, and won the only Beijing Winter Olympic qualification for the Chinese figure skating team in the women's singles event.
Although the debut at the Winter Olympics has some regrets for Zhu Yi, the result of the game is clear, and the Chinese team has broken into the second stage of the figure skating team competition, which is a historic breakthrough for the Chinese figure skating team, before, the Chinese team has never qualified for the second stage of the figure skating team competition of the Winter Olympics.
Therefore, Zhu Yi needs 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 single competition behind.
Let's cheer on this beautiful figure skater!
