At noon on February 8, in the mixed post-match interview area of the Capital Gymnasium, many reporters flocked to "surround" the places reserved for athletes to be interviewed.
And they are all waiting for one person, that is, the Japanese figure skater Yu Yusuke.
Among the media waiting, there are a large number of Japanese journalists and a large number of journalists from other countries. The lively scene has to make people sigh the power of "top stream".
Yu Sheng knotted the strings, but he was already familiar with such concerns.
Feather knot string in the game.
After entering the mixed interview area, what awaits Yu Yu is a "wheel war" of interviews - the media in different fields are divided into multiple areas to take turns to interview, and after the fierce competition, it is also a "test" of physical strength and energy.
The Japanese figure skating team has also been prepared for such enthusiasm, and arranged for a special person to "control the field" of the interview with reporters in the mixed area, controlling the order of the reporter's questions and controlling the overall length of the interview - whether in figure skating or other sports, this is a scene that cannot be seen in other athletes.

For Yu Yusuke, who has been in the center of the stage for a long time, he does not resist such an exchange and talks in front of the media.
In fact, the day's competition was somewhat unexpected for Yu yusei, who was carrying the aura of the two consecutive winter Olympics. In the short program competition of the day, he made a mistake in the first jump and failed to complete the action.
After the short program, he only ranked 8th, and the difficulty of defending the title was further improved.
"(Free skating) I have one more chance, I'm going to perform music and I'm going to show a lot of jumps, so I'm going to do my best." This was his post-match testimonial.
In the short program competition, the host player Jin Boyang was naturally the one who received the most cheers from the audience, but the call received by Yusheng Jiexin was equally warm - in the face of the applause and shouts sent by the Chinese audience, at the moment when the performance was completed and the curtain stepped off the ice rink, you could see the tears flashing in his eyes.
Yu Yu was interviewed after the match.
Perhaps for such a 27-year-old figure skating veteran, after he has fought for honors and injuries, what is more important is not the attachment to the score, but to experience the game and challenge himself.
In fact, before the Winter Olympics, Yusei Yushin had said that although he longed to complete the great cause of the three consecutive Winter Olympic championships, he hoped to achieve the goal of successfully completing the 4A (Axel's four-way jump) in the competition. Even after PyeongChang defended his title, he said: "Conquering the 4A is my only motivation for the next step." ”
Looking forward to the free skating two days later, he also did not shy away from telling the surging reporter that he would challenge again, "I will challenge (4A), I know this is a very difficult thing, but I also need to pay attention to every aspect of the action." ”
After many reporters took turns to ask questions, under the "persuasion" of the Japanese team staff, the mixed interview with Yu Yu yu finally ended. Many reporters who had not yet had time to ask questions had a look of regret on their faces.
However, yusheng still bowed to the reporters present as he had done at the end of each interview before saying "thank you" before turning around and leaving.
As he himself said, the game wasn't over yet. In the free skating arena, people still look forward to the return of his king.
