On February 10, in the men's singles free skating competition of figure skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Jin Boyang made a chinese red debut, and all three four-week jumps were completed with high quality, scoring 179.45 points, creating his highest score this season.

The media and netizens used "rebirth from the fire" to describe Jin Boyang's performance today. People who know Jin Boyang understand that it is not easy.

He began to be exposed to figure skating at the age of 6 and a half, and won the national championship at the age of 12. Once upon a time, Jin Boyang's name would always be preceded by the title of "genius teenager". As a fledgling, he not only set many Records for Chinese men's singles skating, but even "pushed the world men's single skating to an era of advanced four-sided jumping".

But with the increase of age, the adjustment of figure skating rules and other reasons, Jin Boyang was once no longer so stunning. Some media even asked him directly, "Where did the former Jin Boyang go?"

Today, at the Winter Olympics, Jin Boyang is finally back!

"I have overcome myself, and in these four years I have risen and fallen on my own. When training, he is still Jin Boyang, but when he is playing, his failure may not appear in training, and sometimes he will question his ability. ”

congratulate! Jin Boyang who defeated himself.

salute! To the Winter Olympic athletes who are constantly challenging themselves.

There are successes and failures in sports, but humanity's determination to challenge itself will never change.

This is true of Jin Boyang, and it is also true of many excellent athletes.

18-year-old Gu Ailing made the last jump on the women's big jump platform, and her mother asked her to be safe, so that she could save the silver medal. But she wanted to show herself all, so she tried the 1620 that never skipped.

One of the words she said after winning the championship was impressive, "Today is my happiest day, the happiest second." My movements have never been completed by a girl challenge. In her view, winning the championship is not only about getting honors, but more importantly about accomplishing something unprecedented in the history of human sports.

On the 10th, at the Winter Olympic Games, Yu Yu was accompanied by the music "Heaven and Earth", once again challenging the human limit of the 4A jump (Axel around the jump). Although he failed to win the championship in the end, his courage impressed his opponents and the audience. Jin Boyang, who competed in the same field, could not help but sigh: The spirit of Yusheng's knotting strings is incredible.
