Jin Boyang of China: I hope to be worthy of these four years of efforts

On the morning of February 8, the Capital Gymnasium was bustling with activity, and the figure skating men's singles short program competition was held here. This is the first match of Japanese figure skater Yu yushin at this Winter Olympic Games, and it is also the first time that Chinese player Jin Boyang has competed with Yusheng Yusheng. In the end, Jin Boyang and Yusuke Yusuke advanced to the free skate with 11th and 8th places respectively.

On the day of the game, the Global Times reporter came to the main media center of the Winter Olympics early and prepared to drive from here to the Capital Gymnasium. The volunteer at the station smiled and asked, "Let's go to the figure skating competition, there are a lot of fans who have walked from here in the morning." ”

The short program competition began at 9:15 a.m., with China's Jin Boyang making his fifth appearance. He used the music of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. During the competition, he presented the iconic "Hooker Four Weeks Followed by Outer Point Ice for Three Weeks", which is currently one of the most difficult level moves in the world's men's singles skating. Being able to complete this set of actions with high quality in the game reflects Jin Boyang's state and confidence, and finally scored 90.98 points.

When the music ended, Jin Boyang could not contain his tears. He said that he was the one who left happiness to others and sadness to himself. However, looking back at the road he took after the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, he was able to complete the whole set of actions with high quality today, which still made him sigh. "I hope to be worthy of my efforts over the past four years."

Jin Boyang said that when he first played today, the state was not particularly good, but when he heard the cheers of the people of the motherland on the sidelines, the state immediately picked up, and when he did the "hooker around and then the outer point ice for three weeks", he felt more relaxed, "just like someone holding you for an aerial rotation, less than the strength required when I was in the best state, it was really incredible."

Japan's Yusei Yusuke ushered in his debut at the Winter Olympics in the eyes of everyone. Unexpectedly, in the game, Yu Sheng yu chord jumped in the first difficult action, and the technical action score was directly zero. Despite the successful completion of the difficult action afterwards, the final result was 95.15 points, ranking only eighth.

In an interview after the game, Yu Yu said that the final result was indeed a bit helpless, but it was not clear what the problem was, nor did he know what he had done to be hated by ice today. He added: "Today didn't seem to be lucky enough, I needed to train harder to meet the next game. ”

In the free skating competition on the 10th, whether Yusei Yushin can successfully complete Axel's four-way jump, launch a Jedi counterattack, and achieve the winter Olympic men's single skating triple crown will become the focus of attention.

After the 8th game, Jin Boyang also found some state and confidence, believing that he will also go all out and show a performance that is not ashamed.
