Like Gu Ailing, Chen Wei, an all-round scholar and Chinese-American, has a strength that should not be underestimated - Introduction.
On February 10, the results of the men's singles free skating competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics were released, and The Chinese-American player Chen Wei won the championship consecutively, and Yusheng Jiexin, known as the "Prince of Figure Skating", made a major mistake in challenging the 4A and missed the Olympic triple crown, only winning the fourth place.
Because Yusei Yuki insists on completing this impossible challenge, he loses the hand with the champion, and if he makes the right decision, the competition for the championship position will have greater suspense.
Japan's Yusei Yushin has always been a rare ice wizard, and he is undoubtedly Chen Wei's biggest competitor. However, Yu sheng's mistake directly sent Chen Wei to the championship throne.
From the continuous jump to the single jump Philip and all the subsequent movements, it was almost impeccably perfect, and it seemed that the free skating champion was quietly waiting for him there. Chen Wei played quite well in the previous short show, setting a world record with a high score of 113.9 points, and there is no doubt that the championship is beckoning to him.
We have a sense of affection for Chen Wei, this is a community meeting of people with the same blood, although Chen Wei has a Chinese face is an American nationality.
Chen Wei's parents are both Chinese, and then immigrated to the United States to change their nationality, so he is a "second generation", grew up in Salt Lake City, skating began to learn when he was only 3 years old, his parents respected his hobbies to provide him with equipment, places and teachers.
Figure skating is extremely expensive, and his parents began to cultivate consciously when he was very young, and you can imagine how favorable the family conditions are. Although his parents are elite talents, his fluent English with a very obvious oriental face is still somewhat abrupt.
What if you want to stand up in front of people who are very different from yourself? For the United States, where sports are prevalent, it is too difficult for Chen Wei to stand out from people who are far taller and stronger than himself with his small and narrow skeleton, but figure skating is different. Those who know enough will know that the best figure skaters in the United States are almost contracted by Asians, mainly Chinese and Japanese.
Therefore, in addition to love, like other Asian players, better integration into this environment is also the reason why Chen Wei embarked on the road of figure skating. Chen Wei began to participate in the competition from the age of 4, gradually grew from continuous hard training, and from the age of 15, he began to hold more and more championships in his hands.
However, as young and young, he seems to need more experience to form an indissoluble relationship with the Olympic champion, and at the 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics, he made a mistake in the short program and missed the championship. In the next few world-class competitions, he was like opening up the second pulse of Ren Dou, winning the championship in the 2019 World Championships in Japan, the 2019/2020 Turin Grand Prix, and the 2021 World Championships, and even more than throwing the score off the Feather String by several tens of points, which made great efforts.
At the PyeongChang Winter Olympics that year, such an interesting thing happened, the American sports delegation had the opportunity to visit the White House after the game, which is also a tradition that has lasted for many years, while many Chinese figure skaters, including Chen Wei, did not wait for the invitation to say "not to go".
This time, Chen Wei won the first Olympic championship in his life, which was the highlight of his career as an athlete, and also made up for the only regret.
However, an athlete's glory years are not too long, Chen Wei is also well aware of this, he is practicing figure skating while also trying to learn other skills: piano, gymnastics, misleading, ice hockey, etc., just like Gu Ailing, he is also an all-round talent, but also a bully.
Chen Wei was admitted to Yale University at the age of 18 with a perfect score in mathematics, and at his alma mater he was practicing figure skating and preparing for the game with a perfect balance of courses.
His brilliant moment of figure skating has arrived, and he still has potential to tap at this age, and even if he retires from his athlete career in the future, there will be a good career waiting for him.
