Chen Wei, who helped figure skating men's single skating fully enter the "four-week jump era", with its unstoppable momentum, helped the United States team regain the men's singles gold medal in figure skating at the Winter Olympics for 12 years, 22.55 points higher than the second place with the results of 113.97 points in short programs, 218.63 points in free skating and 332.60 points.
The 22-year-old new Winter Olympic champion said after winning the title that the problem that has plagued him lately was "the last one in a row to jump for three weeks on the ice", but when he reduced the three-week jump to a one-week jump during the game, he perfectly presented the new program "Rocket man", which had just been choreographed in January this year, on the Winter Olympics.
After the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, Chen Wei dominated almost all the competitions he participated in, and he was the first figure skater to master five kinds of four-way jumping movements in addition to Axel's four-way jump. The American players also have an advantage in the content score of the program, and the 27-year-old veteran Jason Brown is the only player who can enter the top 10 without jumping around and eventually finish sixth, relying on the referee recognition obtained on the content score of the program.
At present, only Japanese players can compete with American players in men's singles events. Yumasa Keyyama, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time at the age of 18, and Masami Uno, a 24-year-old two-time Men's Singles medalist at the Beijing Winter Olympics, finished second and third respectively at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and 27-year-old Yusei ended his third Winter Olympic trip in fourth place, watching the moment the two juniors reached the podium, and the baton of the Japanese figure skating men's singles was handed over to the younger generation.
The Russian men's singles has been unable to carry the banner after Pushanko, and at the Beijing Winter Olympics, three 18-year-olds, Semenenko, KondraSyuk and Mozarev, ranked 8th, 15th and 19th respectively. In contrast, 20-year-old South Korean Player Che Joon-hwan and 19-year-old Italy player Grasser are full of momentum, and these two young people who have entered the top 10 still have a lot of room for improvement.
