On November 11, the International Skating Federation (ISU) released an email about "whether the International Skating Federation has certified the Axel Jump for the first time in history." The email read: "Based on the referee's detailed ratings, the jump was not rotated enough and was therefore not certified. ”
After the beijing Winter Olympics men's singles free skating event, on the referee's scoring table, the first action of Yusheng Knot was marked as "4A <", according to the "International Skating Union Announcement No. 2254 Single Skating and Pair Skating 2019/20 Season Action Difficulty Conditions and GOE Scoring Standards", if the word "4A<<" appears, it means relegation, that is, directly downgraded to 3A. However, "4A<" means that the action is 4A, but it is not enough weeks and cannot be certified as successful. Therefore, it can be confirmed that this action of Yusei is indeed 4A, and it has not been demoted to 3A. However, due to insufficient number of weeks, it cannot be certified. In other words, Yu Sheng's action was identified as 4A, but it was not successfully certified.
