No.5 Feather knot string
Japanese figure skater
Waseda University
Among the many overseas star athletes participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics, Japanese figure skater Yu Yusuke is undoubtedly the most vocal "king of popularity" among the audience.
CCTV commentators commented that he was "as beautiful as jade, as loose as a posture, as if he were a shocked, and as graceful as a dragon." ”
Every appearance of Yu Yu is the focus of the camera, and the record as an athlete is not to mention, 24 championships, 19 world records, and the men's singles figure skating gold medals in the past two Winter Olympics.
He is the first figure skating men's singles youth group and adult group in history to be the "super grand slam first person", and has produced many high-quality figure skating works with a distinct personal style.
Under the sparkling figure skating stage, Yusei Yusei never gave up his studies and was admitted to Waseda University in Japan through his own ability as a non-sports student, becoming a high-achieving student at Waseda University.
His high school math teacher once said that Yusheng's grades are above 90 points and he never defaults on homework. Not only mathematics, but Chinese are also very prominent.
In the delegations of various countries in this Winter Olympic Games, it is not uncommon for "academic athletes" to go out for the country on the field and create brilliant records, while the educational background also subverts people's traditional perception of athletes.
It is hoped that under the impetus of these outstanding athletes, more post-00s and post-10s children will fall in love with sports and grow together in the learning mode of education + sports.
