Jin Boyang: Four years of ups and downs have made me believe that as long as you persist, you can see the light

On February 10, the Beijing Winter Olympics ended the men's singles competition in figure skating, and finally The American Chen Wei, Japan's Yujin Jianshan and Masamo Uno won the championship and runner-up. China's Jin Boyang won the ninth place, and after the game, he admitted that he was satisfied with his performance and would maintain his tenacity in the future and continue to slide.

At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Jin Boyang played well and won the fourth place, creating the best performance in the history of Chinese men's single skaters at the Olympic Games. After entering the Beijing cycle, his state fluctuated, and he could only skate a good set of programs in many games, and he had doubts about his ability - the "normal" Jin Boyang in training seemed to not know Jin Boyang, who was constantly making mistakes in the game.

In the short program competition held on February 8, Jin Boyang completed the action with high quality, "worthy of four years of hard work", worthy of "every second and every clip of these four years to the point of exhaustion". But at the same time, the past "magic spell" makes it worry: can free skating be good?

With self-conviction and the care and help of many people behind him, Jin Boyang stood on the stage of free skating. In a cloud of fiery red, he almost perfectly completed his trip to the Beijing Winter Olympics.

"I beat myself." He said that these years of experience have made him understand, "When you fail, you must stick to yourself, stand up again and again, and in the end, there will be a glimmer of light for you." ”

At the same time, Kim Bo-yang spoke highly of Japan's Yusuke Yusuke, who competed in the same competition, for the third time to participate in the Olympic Games after the glory of the game, and was determined to challenge Axel to jump around despite knowing the extreme difficulty, "His spirit is incredible." ”

"Last time we all wanted to compete for medals, but after four years I think everybody is not (just) fighting for medals, everybody wants to break through themselves and satisfy themselves, it's [competing] for their own spiritual gold medals."

For the future, Jin Boyang said that he will continue to slide with this spirit, hoping to drive more people to participate in ice and snow sports, hoping to emerge more children who love this sport and jointly support this beautiful figure skating world.
