The challenge of Japan's "Ice Prince" Feather Knot was unfortunately unsuccessful.
In the men's individual match of figure skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yu Shengyu jumped around the first official competition in the history of the free skating event challenge, but unfortunately fell unsteadily on the ground. He once took the lead in the overall result after completing the game, and eventually lost to American rival Chen Wei and two compatriots, and only finished 4th.
Yu Yu was only 8th in the short program due to a big mistake due to the big mistake in the jump. Coming to the free skate, Yusuke Habu came in 17th place to compete with the most difficult set of moves in his career, the first of which was the Quad Axel, which was never completed in an official match.
Axel jump itself is already the most difficult way to jump in the 6 sets of jumping actions of figure skating, and it is already the feather string of the two-time Olympic champion, challenging the highest difficulty.
Yusei Yuki chose the theme song of the Ōkawa drama "Heaven and Earth" (天と地と) and began to perform. The highest difficulty of the four and a half jumps, the feather knot string rotation is insufficient, and the ice time is slightly late, the trend falls, and the challenge fails.
The next quad Salchow also failed with ice. Fortunately, the feather string, which has always been known for its high quality of movements, was completed steadily in the next three and a half weeks of jumping and then the outer point ice two weeks of jumping.
After completing the action, Yu sheng bowed deeply to the surroundings of the ice rink, and after leaving the ice rink, he couldn't stop thanking the coach and so on. He was deducted two points for the entire set of moves, scoring a total of 188.06 points, a total of 283.21 points, and rose to the top of the list with the remaining seven players. It wasn't until his third-to-last teammate, last silver medalist Masama Uno, surpassed Yusei.
Yumasa Keyyama, who played well in the penultimate appearance, rose to the first place; Chen Wei, the american representative and world champion who finally appeared, performed flawlessly, overpowering the Japanese three with an absolute advantage and winning the gold medal.
Yusei failed to defend his title and failed to win a medal, finishing the event in 4th place. After the Yusei string match, he called it a dream come true, and he has done his best, "and today he has done everything in his power and feels good." He said that this time back to the Olympics, the quality of the one-and-a-half jump (axel) was better than before, "but still a little bit worse".
Compared with the three consecutive hegemons, the significance of the half-jump around may be greater. In December last year, Yu Yusei qualified for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the code name "4A" hanging around him: "The dream I have had since childhood is now a specific goal." In order to continue this dream, we will work hard again, hoping to meet this year with a stronger appearance than the previous and previous Olympic Games. ”
Yu Yusei has dreamed of jumping around the world since she was less, hoping to officially complete it in her career. According to the score table released by the Olympic official website, the four-and-a-half jump of the Feather String was established, but it was rated as insufficient rotation and deducted points. After today's game, Yu Yu said: "Of course, if you want to win, you can't make a mistake. However, in this way, the two mistakes that appear in the first half seem to coincide with the meaning of the story of "Heaven and Earth".
"Heaven and Earth" tells the life of Uesugi Kenshin, the daimyō of the Japanese Sengoku period, and Yushin Habu once said in an interview that he saw figure skating and had a similar outlook on life to Yuki Kenshin, "The competition brings a sense of success, and will enjoy the pain caused by the process of surpassing himself."
