On February 10, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics figure skating men's singles free skating event was held at the Capital Gymnasium, a competition that can be called a "fairy fight".
China's Jin Boyang appeared in red, 3 four-week jumps were all completed with high quality, and in this competition, he scored 179.45 points in the free skating, refreshing the highest score of his personal season, and at the end of the song, Jin Boyang could not hide his excitement and tears, and the topic of "Jin Boyang crying" instantly rushed to the hot search.

Combined with the 90.98 points obtained by the previous short program, Jin Boyang had a total score of 270.43 points, ranking ninth. Although he did not win a medal, he gave a perfect performance. Many people congratulated him and were reborn from the fire.
"Teenager famous", he completed his first four-week jump at the age of 14; at the age of 18, he completed the "hooker four weeks and then the outer point ice for three weeks" in the China Cup competition, becoming the first athlete in the world to complete the action on the international stage; in 2016, he became the first male singles player in China to reach the podium of the World Championships; the fourth place in the figure skating men's singles at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics...
Jin Boyang's body carries too many expectations, and he is indeed promising. However, after entering the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle, he was not in good shape for a while, and even ranked 22nd in the World Championships the year before the Beijing Winter Olympics, and his career seemed to fall into the abyss, which was questioned by the outside world.
Fortunately, this time at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Jin Boyang defeated himself, and the young man with the angry horse in fresh clothes returned!
The Japanese popular figure skater Yu yusuke, who appeared in the same group as Jin Boyang, also constantly challenged himself in the arena. During the competition, Yu Yu fell twice, and the audience took a breath of cold air, and many people did not understand why he had such a "mistake".
Perhaps, this is not a "mistake", 19 times to break the world record, with two Olympic gold medals, Yu Yu string, has long set the goal, in the official competition to present the first full Axel four-week (4A) jump in history. He is the "lone brave" in the figure skating world, and his spirit of constantly breaking through and challenging himself is worthy of admiration.
After falling down and getting up, Yu Yu was unaffected, trying his best to show himself and complete the game. Bowing deeply, stroking the ice to close the curtain, it is difficult to hide the reluctance and regret, and finally it is relieved, and after looking up, it is a sunny smile. He said in an interview: "I didn't make my dream come true at this Olympics, but I really tried my best. ”

As the writer Shi Tiesheng once wrote, "What is the fire burning on Mount Olympus is not for the sake of one person defeating another, but for the opportunity to show off to the gods the indomitability of mankind, the limits of destiny can be eternal, and the indomitable challenges cannot be ignored or lacked."
For the performance of Yu Sheng' string, Jin Boyang praised: "His spirit is really incredible, at the age of 27, he challenged the difficulty of four and a half weeks, this spirit is really worth learning, I believe that as long as he has always believed in himself and insisted on the challenge, he will definitely be able to successfully complete it in future competitions." ”
"Constantly breaking through yourself is the spirit of sportsmanship and the Olympic spirit." After the game, Jin Boyang said in an interview, "In the last Olympic Games, we may have all thought about fighting for medals, but this time, all we wanted to do was to break through ourselves and get the spiritual gold medal." ”
China's Cai Xuetong, a chinese player who played the winter olympics in four games, is a snowboarding women's U-shaped track skill player, who created the highest personal winter Olympic ranking in the competition today, but the fourth place still did not qualify for the podium. The 28-year-old said: "If I have the ability to constantly push my limits, or to realize my potential, I will continue." ”
Canada's Max Parrote, who defeated the disease and returned to the top, unfortunately suffered from cancer after the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics and received chemotherapy 12 times in 2019, which was difficult for him to imagine returning to the field again, but he created a miracle.
German speed skater Claudia Pechtstein, who "smiled across the finish line", was the first female athlete in the world to participate in the eight Winter Olympics, and she was affectionately known as "Skating Grandma" for her 50th birthday. "10 years ago, some people said I was old, but now I'm proud because I can still compete with young people," she said. ”

The Olympic spirit makes people all over the world more united, we applaud every player, we cheer for every wonderful performance. Hats off to the athletes who challenged themselves! Whatever the outcome, they've already won the spiritual gold medal!
