【Overseas Chinese News Network Comprehensive News】The "fairy fight" like the Winter Olympics figure skating men's single skating ended on the 10th. In the free skating competition on the same day, Sochi and Pyeongchang two-time Winter Olympic champion Japan's Yusuke Yushin fulfilled his promise to challenge the "4A (Axel Four-Week Jump)", but failed to complete, and finally ranked fourth in the overall result. At the end of the curtain, Yu Sheng bowed deeply to the audience and bent down to touch the ice surface, which was difficult to hide. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yusheng Yuxian gave up his dream for the sake of his dreams, and although he failed to complete the "4A", he interpreted the Olympic spirit with courage.

China News Service reported that the "4A" defeat, the Winter Olympics figure skating men's single skating defended the crown, until the last moment of the game did not win the medal, when the whole audience shouted for the birth of a new Winter Olympic champion silently left... The trip to the Beijing Winter Olympics by Japanese figure skater Yu Sheng was not perfect.

Walking through the mixed interview area, his regrets and loneliness overflowed into words. In an interview, Yusei yushin said that he felt all the encouragement and support given to him by everyone. However, he doesn't know if his performance responds to the expectations of ice fans, "honestly, I'm more sorry".

On the 10th, the Figure Skating Men's Singles Men's Individual Championships of the Beijing Winter Olympics was held free skating, and the "first jump" of Yusheng Yu string was particularly concerned. So far, no one has been able to successfully complete the 4A on the field. But just as he had experienced when he had practiced this movement countless times, he jumped high and fell heavily.

So tragic, it was staged more than once that day.

Warming up before the game, he tried 4A twice, both of which fell to the ground; during the race, his rear inner ring jump also failed. The well-groomed hairstyle was slightly messy, and he insisted on holding his head high.

The years are easy to grow old, the heavens and the earth are merciless, and people are even more lamenting for this imperfect ending.

When the game was reviewed after the game, Yu Sheng's words did not know who was comforting. He said that whether it is the "closest but still a little worse 4A" so far, or the jumping and falling around the rear inner knot ring, and the successful completion of the second half, these up-and-down transitions together deduce "Heaven and Earth".

It seems to accept the result calmly, but it is just a sentence he inadvertently said, "I may have paid an unrequited effort", which is difficult to reconcile.

Beijing Daily client reported that in 1994, Yusheng Yuxian was born in Sendai, a small city in Japan, and his father named him "Knot String", hoping that his life would be as relaxed as a bow string. At the age of 2, Habu was diagnosed with asthma, weak and often ill. In order to exercise and overcome asthma, when he was 4 years old, he and his sister came to the Sendai Ice Rink near his home to skate, and were discovered by the enlightenment coach Masumi Yamada, who admired him: "I have never seen such a talented child, and I have never seen such a child who is not afraid of ice. ”

Since then, falling down and getting up on the ice again and again has become the daily life of Yu Yu, and has also become a true portrayal of him on the field.

Talented and diligent, Yusei soon made a name for himself on the ice rink. At the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, 19-year-old Yu Yu won the championship in one fell swoop, becoming the first Asian to win the Olympic championship in men's singles skating. Four years later, at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Yusei successfully defended his title, becoming the first and youngest winter Olympic men's singles defender in the past 66 years.

Having achieved the highest honor on the figure skating field and passed the golden age of figure skaters, many people think that yusheng can "retire after Pyeongchang", but he did not, and he always had a dream of jumping around and half in his heart. This comes from what his childhood idol, Plushenko, said as he was approaching retirement – "Jumping around is the future of figure skating". This sentence deeply influenced Yu Yu, who was still in elementary school at the time, and regarded being able to perfectly complete all the four jumps as the highest goal of his entire career. Unwilling to retire with unfulfilled dreams may be the spiritual pillar that underpins his appearance at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Talking about Yusheng's knot, China's Jin Boyang said, "His spirit is really incredible, ordinary people like him, certainly will not choose to participate in the third Winter Olympics, but directly retired, he not only insisted on participating, but also challenged the difficulty of four and a half weeks at the age of 27." This spirit is really worth learning. Jin Boyang said bluntly, it is very regrettable to see Yu Sheng's failure to challenge 4A, "I feel sorry for him, really, I hope he will complete this action in his third Winter Olympics." Although he failed, I believe that as long as he always believes in himself and insists on the challenge, he will definitely be able to successfully complete in future competitions. ”

According to the Beijing Global Network, although Yusheng jiexin lost his hand with the podium, Japanese public opinion generally gave him affirmation and respect. Sports Nikkan used "a world-record four-week jump" and "all the effort" to define Yu Yusuke's performance in the final, and Japan's "Mainichi Shimbun" directly wrote "Even without a trophy, it completely interpreted beauty", saying that the defending champion fought with the spirit of the king to the last moment. The Yomiuri Shimbun believes that Yusei Yusei tried the "4A" that many people did not dare to challenge in the past on the field, which was particularly touching. According to the Japanese website "THE ANSWER", "4A" has always been a flame in Habu's heart, and eventually becomes a light that illuminates fans.

The New York Times pointed out that on the exit, Yusheng Yuxian grabbed some ice cubes and pasted them on his forehead, and he was paying tribute to the sport in his own way. Challenging super difficult moves was very expensive, and the era of yu yusuke's incredible dominance in the figure skating men's singles field at the Winter Olympics came to an end. (End)
