The champions of figure skating at the Two Winter Olympics in Sochi and Pyeongchang, the men's free skating champion, the player from Japan, Yu Yu, ranked fourth and failed to win a medal.
As the champion of the men's free skating of the Winter Olympics and the holder of the 1,000th gold medal of the Winter Olympics, The Path to the Winter Olympics is full of light.
In 2014, at the age of 19, he made his debut at the Sochi Winter Olympics and won gold in one fell swoop, becoming the youngest champion in the men's singles event;

In 2018, he won the championship again, and his outstanding performance made him recognized by the audience as the "Prince of Ice".
In addition to the solid basic skills, Yu Yu has a strong bouncing ability and a very ornamental performance.
Graceful, like a cloud flowing water:

Clear and bright, like a relic:
When people questioned his weakness, the 2019 World Championships set of shocking "Origins" spilled out his kingly style.
Along the way, he put in the efforts on top of his talent, making Yu Yusei the first person to become the first person in the "Super Grand Slam" of figure skating.
*Super Grand Slam refers to winning gold medals in men's singles events in international competitions such as the Olympic Games, World Championships, Grand Prix Finals, Four Continents Championships, World Youth Championships, And Youth Finals.
The delicate programming makes each of his appearances an "art award".
He seemed to be chasing something beyond the victory, and the blood of his youth burned on the ice.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, people are eager to enjoy his amazing ice performance again, and also expect him to jump out of the unprecedented "4A".
"4A" is a technical action in figure skating competitions, the full name is "Axel around the jump". In 1882, the Norwegian athlete Axel Paulsen made the first difficult jump to take off forward, known as the "Axel Jump";
The "4A" requires 1620 degrees of rotation in the air after the take-off (the body rotates around the four and a half), which is an epic and difficult action in the figure skating world.
Yusei Yusuke made the "AAA" jump in the competition
The difficulty of this action was once considered by physicists to be impossible for humans to complete. Players need to take off and spin 4 and a half times in 0.7 seconds, and when they fall on the ice, they have to withstand an impact force equal to 5 times their body weight.
Russian figure skating coach Mishen said he would never see a player finish the 4A well in his lifetime.

In 2016, Yusuke was certified as the first athlete to complete the "4Lo", the jump around the rear outer knot ring.
After winning the figure skating Grand Slam, the "4A" became a high mountain that Yusei Yusei wanted to climb again.
Almost every time he fell heavily on the ice, he continued to train and jump with the mental preparation that "maybe he will fall into a concussion or even die". If you don't break the building, you won't pay it back.
Until last year in a training session he completed this action, but to be certified by the ISU (International Skating Federation),
It also needs to be done in the contest.
So with his dedication to the "4A", he came to Beijing.
If you defend your title again, you will be directly canonized, right? But the "4A" is his most important goal at the moment.
To be honest, jumping "4A" will not have too high a bonus point in the competition, and the "4Lo" or "3A" that is more likely to be completed will help more with the gold extraction. And today's Yusheng knot string is like a guoan fan, and the soul is engraved with four big characters of "heel-ya-die-bump".
The total score of the competition was added up by the short program and the free skating results, and after ranking eighth in the short program errors in the previous few days, he decided to jump "4A" in today's free skating competition.
So we saw the sad picture of the start of the game - the first "4A" jump:
fall:
Another four-way jump:
Fall Again:
The audience's mentality has collapsed, and after he stands up, he calms down and indulges in interpretation.
Lonely world.
This jump was identified as "close to success". In the end, Yusheng's long-cherished wish to complete the "4A" at the Beijing Winter Olympics was not fulfilled. The total score of 283.21 ranked fourth.
After the game, he bowed deeply on the ice and unconsciously touched the ice with his hand. For the dedication and love of figure skating, you can bet on your dreams to make a desperate bet.
If the 28-year-old, who has passed the age of figure skating, came to Beijing with the ultimate goal of winning the championship, I think perhaps his wish has been fulfilled.
Today's Yusei Yushin is not respected as an Olympic champion, and the audience's admiration for him also dilutes the geographical difference;
His past achievements and pursuit of unfinished goals have fully embodied the spiritual core of the sports world.
I wish him a speedy jump out of the "4A".
In other words, in the sports of "performance is difficult to be beautiful", ultra-difficult moves have always been the goal of athletes chasing and breaking through.
Gymnast Xiao Ruoteng
In this Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing's last jump on the freestyle ski jump did not follow his mother's advice, but chose the historic and difficult 1620 action and won the gold medal in reverse.
At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, Yang Jian of the Chinese diving team "sacrificed the world's highest difficulty": 109B, churning forward for four and a half weeks, bending his body.
He scored a terrifying super high score of 112.75 points and finally won the silver medal.
Looking back at the "Cheng Fei Jump", which has been praised by the world:
Behind every near-perfect performance, there are countless boring trainings, countless mental collapse moments that want to give up, and the body is scaled, Yuru Yucheng.
We've talked before about how strong athletes can be, and maybe we never know if we can go any further.
So, why does Yu yu string have to jump out of the "4A"? Because that's the choice that tough humans are bound to make.
In fact, in addition to athletes, everyone also has their own Himalayan mountain, destined to fight everything to climb.
What does your Himalayan mountain mean?
