【Winter Olympic Reporting Alliance】"Axel Jump Around" although defeated Yu Rong Yusheng knotted: "has handed over his entirety"
According to Japan's "Oriental New News" reported on February 11, in the figure skating men's single long program competition that ended on February 10, the high-profile Japanese player Yusei Yusuke failed to complete the "Axel Four-Week Jump" he tried to challenge in the competition, but it was still recognized by the authoritative organization International Skating Federation as the first jump in the history of figure skating events that met the specifications of "Axel Four-Week Jump". Although Yu Yu eventually missed the medal, he won the applause from all over the world in a sense of defeat and glory.
On February 10, in the men's singles free skating competition of figure skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, although Japan's Yu yusuke failed to succeed in challenging Axel's four-way jump (4A), he completed the whole set of moves.

Yusei's exploration of "Axel's around jump" is not necessarily perfect in the figure skating industry. Retired figure skater Takahiko Ozzaru Lamented to Nikkan Sports that Yusei's time in the air was "only 0.03 seconds away"; TBS live broadcast commentator Minoru Sano said that this jump is undoubtedly the most completed "Axel around jump" so far, with a standard posture, stable axis, and one foot landing, as long as the preparation for landing is slightly improved, "the next game will be successful".
Habu's contribution to the field of figure skating technology is of much more significance to audiences from all over the world. According to a special report by the Japanese sports culture and education website THE ANSWER, Yu Yu revealed to the media before the start of the Winter Olympics that he was "afraid of not being able to win three consecutive championships", but after experiencing the loss of the short program competition on the 8th, he was "not afraid of anything". After today's long program match, Yu Sheng admitted to the media that "it really feels like it should be better", but "has handed over all of his own", as if although there are regrets, there are no regrets. It is this spirit of fearlessness, regardless of the result, regardless of gains and losses, that has won the recognition of the audience. It shows people the attitude that a person should have in the face of ideals and setbacks; it also makes the Olympic Games, an international sporting event, briefly fade the appearance of personal wins and losses and national honors, revealing the more general and solid spiritual core behind it.
A Japanese netizen posted on social platforms that Yusei's appearance seemed to be "no longer related to medals, but to the gods to dance a dance of sacrifice." In the day-long program competition, Yu Sheng's self-selected song "Heaven and Earth and Together" was first disclosed in the 2020 World Figure Skating Championships Qualifiers, and because of its difficult choreography and magnificent momentum, it became a popular track in the hearts of figure skating audiences in these two years. At the "Cheers of the Ice Painters" event held on the THE ANSWER website, a performance map of Yusheng Knot String "Heaven and Earth and Common" drawn by Chinese netizen "SEiKei" was prominently listed. According to interviews with Japanese media, the Chinese girl believes that the song "not only presents the ultimate art and technology in men's figure skating", but also contains "Yusei's vision of peace injected into this uncertain era". The Japanese netizen "コココシャン", who also painted on this track, said that he saw "hope for the future" in the continuation of this performance.

In the voting campaign launched by Japan's Yahoo News, Chen Wei received more than Yusheng's votes three days ago on "Who will win the gold medal in this figure skating men's singles", and on the question "Who left the deepest impression on you", Yusheng won an overwhelmingly high number of votes. This is probably also the feeling of most viewers in other countries except Japan. This imperfect "Axel around jump" may become one of the "Olympic moments" of this Winter Olympics: Yusei did not stop, the hero fell, and people still cheered.
