On February 8, Yu Yusei ushered in the "debut" of this Winter Olympics, in the figure skating men's singles short program competition, he performed "Introduction and Boomerang Caprice", although there were slight flaws after the opening, but the overall performance was stable, and finally scored 95.15 points, and the much-anticipated 4A (Axel Four-Week Jump) will debut in the men's singles free skating on the 10th.
As a legend in the figure skating world, Yu Yu's every move has attracted the attention of a large number of ice fans. He has broken world records 19 times, winning two Winter Olympic gold medals, two World Championships gold medals, four Grand Prix finals, and becoming the first men's singles player to win a Super Slam after winning gold medals on four continents in 2020. Now, in order to chase his third Winter Olympic gold medal, he has given up team competitions and put all his energy into individual events.
Previously, Yusheng Yuxian withdrew from the Grand Prix series due to a ligament injury to his right foot joint, and entering the top three of the all-day championship became his last chance to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the new short program "Introduction and Boomerang" also made his debut in this competition, and the free skating followed last season's "With Heaven and Earth". Yusheng challenged the 4A, although the number of weeks was slightly flawed, but still staged the "Return of the King" with an incomparably shocking momentum, and successfully got the ticket for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Regarding whether he would challenge the four-and-a-half jump and strive for the triple crown at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yu Sheng yukari replied in the affirmative. "Winning the Winter Olympics has been my dream since I was a child, but under everyone's expectations, I also want to challenge things, and at the same time, I see athletes of all ages in other sports also challenging themselves, and I am beginning to feel that I am the only one who has the qualification to challenge the triple title now." So I began to want to paint that scenario, to take advantage of the Beijing Winter Olympics with a different advantage than before. Yusei said.
People often ask questions on the Internet: What is the secret of yusheng's success? Why can it be admired by everyone? There is no word "retreat" in Yusheng's dictionary, which may be the real answer. During the practice match, he collided with the other players, and the blood on his forehead kept dripping, but after a simple bandage, he stood up again and said only one word: "Jump". Before the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, he couldn't even go to the ice because of a foot injury, only watching his own game video to maintain his form, carefully analyzing his strengths and weaknesses with his opponents. At the Pyeongchang arena, he won the tournament in one fell swoop, becoming the first athlete in 66 years to defend his title in the men's singles event at the Winter Olympics.
It was with extraordinary courage and perseverance that Yu Yu set foot on the stage of the Winter Olympics for the third time. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, he faced a formidable rival like American Nathan Chen, the first player in history to complete five four-week jumps in free skating, originally planning to hit the gold medal at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, but made mistakes in the short program and ended up finishing fifth. In response, Yusei said, "I know very well that I can't win according to the current situation. If you want to surpass your competitors and finally stand on the championship podium, you need to come up with a 4A that no one has ever completed. ”
When talking about the feelings of the third Winter Olympics, Yusei Yushin said that he would always play the best jumps he had worked hard to train, and then go to the Winter Olympics to get a sense of victory. "This Beijing Winter Olympics is a competition with my own place to continue to grow to meet in such a state, in a sense, I think that the tension on the stage of the Olympic Games is special, while welcoming the arrival of the competition."
In life, he is also a sunny boy full of childlike hearts, and he also has his own unique lucky object, that is, Winnie the Pooh. After each competition, Yu yusuke's fans would throw Winnie the Pooh doll to the center of the arena to show their love and support for him, which has become the "standard" during his competition. Now Yusheng Yuxian will bring 4A to the Beijing Winter Olympics, everyone expects him to continue to write a great history, and ice fans are also waiting for a surprise moment at the Capital Gymnasium.
