However, this project is also a strong hand, the defending champion of the United States Chloe King after the last Winter Olympics, in all the competitions he participated in the undefeated, Japan's Ono Mitsuki also has the strength to win gold, the qualification tournament has two rounds of competition, each player takes the highest score of the two sets of points to rank, the top twelve players advanced to the final, Liu Jiayu appeared in the first position, but it is a pity that there was a mistake when the second positive angle fell, failed to complete the action, and only scored 15.25 points. Chloe King then came on, easily completing the upper-middle difficulty move, scoring 87.75 points.
Cai Xuetong came out in fourth place, and the quality of action completion and the height of the air were very good, and he got an ideal score of 83.25 points. Wu Shaotong chose the reverse angle to enter in the opening stage, but what was worrying was that when she fell on the top of the U slot in the second positive corner, it also ended in a mistake, fortunately, she was not injured, with a score of 10.25 points, into the next round. Mitsuki Ono played well and scored 79.50 points, and Qiu Leng, the last Chinese player to appear, successfully completed the action and performed ideally, scoring 63.50 points.
After the first round, American star Chloe Jin Gao was at the top of the list, Cai Xuetong was second, Ono Mitsuki was third, Qiu Leng was eleventh, and Liu Jiayu and Wu Shaotong were ranked last because of mistakes. At the beginning of the second round of the game, Liu Jiayu showed his due level this time, with smooth movements and considerable height in the air, and finally scored 72.25 points. Cai Xuetong did not conservatively choose a less difficult action in the case of stable promotion, but continued to challenge himself, and there were some mistakes, but it was already insignificant.
Wu Shaotong, who made a mistake in the first round like Liu Jiayu, made a mistake when he made a landing of 540 in the reverse angle, and only got 16.75 points to determine that he had no chance to advance. The Japanese player Ono Mitsuki who played later unloaded the pressure to try the difficult action, performed well and scored 83.75 points to surpass Cai Xuetong, Qiu Leng, who was on the verge of promotion, decided to fight the difficulty, completed the standard, 66.25 points temporarily ranked eleventh, look at the performance of other players to determine their own ranking.
At the end of the two rounds, China's Qiu Leng stepped on the line in 12th place to advance to the final, while Cai Xuetong ranked third, Liu Jiayu ranked 7th, looking forward to the "three insurances" formed by the three Chinese players in the final, bringing us back a medal, or even a gold medal. Of course, I also hope that Wu Shaotong, who has no chance to advance, will not be discouraged and continue to cheer, her sports career is still very long!
