As the first player to start the qualifiers, Liu Jiayu's state has obviously not been adjusted to the best. She made a mistake in the first round of skating and scored only 15.25 points. Fortunately, she adjusted her state in time to score 72.25 points on the second slide, ranking 7th, and according to the rules of the top 12 promotions, she had no danger.
After the game, when talking about the mistake of the first jump, Liu Jiayu said that he was also very surprised, "I also want to ask myself what happened in the first round, it was very good at the beginning, I was quite unexpected when I fell, the coach was also quite unexpected, this is competitive sports, there is no way to ensure 100% success, but I am still very satisfied with my own performance, and the second skating resistance is very strong." ”
Looking forward to tomorrow's final, Liu Jiayu said he would "release the big move". She said that she felt very happy and relaxed at her own lucky Genting Ski Park competition, "Tomorrow you will pray (for me)!" The reporters at the scene also sent their blessings one after another, hoping that Liu Jiayu would achieve better results tomorrow.
