Did the Yusheng Knot Challenge four and a half jump succeed?
The "Prince of Figure Skating" Yusheng yusheng was crushed in the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating event, but he was recognized by the International Skating Federation (ISU) as the first person to challenge the four-and-a-half jump (4A) action in the competition, which also attracted discussion from the outside world. In fact, Yusei did not complete this action, but his courageous spirit of breaking through has ushered in a new era of figure skating.
In this regard, Japan's "Kyodo News Agency" said that Yu yusuke has been certified by ISU to "challenge the four-and-a-half jump action" at the Winter Olympics, which is the first time in history that it has been certified to challenge this action in important events such as the Olympic Games and the World Championships, but he did not complete it.
Yusei tried the four-and-a-half jump for the first time at the All Japan Championships last December, but was judged to have less than half the spin, so it was a "three-and-a-half jump", and the score was also based on the criteria of the three-and-a-half jump, and this time it was determined that the challenge four-and-a-half jump failed.
Many media outlets, such as Kyodo News Agency and Sina Sports, pointed out that the reason for the failure of Yusheng's four-and-a-half-week movements was "early landing" and "insufficient laps".
Although the challenge failed, Yusheng Yusuke still received the highest praise from the outside world and the same competitors, and mainland player Jin Boyang praised him for showing the "Olympic spirit" and bluntly said that he wanted to see him succeed; and gold medalist Chen Wei said that he was honored to play with Yusheng on the field for so many years.
"When I was a kid, I never thought I'd have the opportunity to skate with him." Chen Wei said emotionally, "That's why it's a great honor for me to play with him. I think he's the greatest figure skater of all time. ”
In fact, Chen Wei bluntly said in an interview with Nikkan Sports before the game that Yusheng challenged the "realm of god", which shows that for most of the top players, the four-and-a-half jump is a special existence.
When we look back on the history of the Olympic Games, it is actually the history of continuous failure and growth, especially in gymnastics and skating, where seemingly impossible actions are challenged and successful after experiencing constant failures and setbacks.
The first time the Yusei Challenge four-and-a-half jump was certified by the International Skating Federation, it was an absolutely historic moment, as many have said it "has become a milestone of the era of figure skating".
After the game, Yusheng Yushin lamented that he knew that there could be no mistakes in challenging the Winter Olympics men's figure skating 3 consecutive championships, but he also admitted that it was because of the poor performance of the short project that there would be a story of "Heaven and Earth" in the later long program. This glorious myth has not yet reached the final chapter, and the figure skating prince is still working hard for his own dream of challenging the extreme.
