In the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating men's singles free skating competition, Yusheng Yuxin ranked fourth with 283.21 points, defending his title and failing!
Yusuke Yusuke won the men's singles free skating title at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. He is also the first figure skater to win a men's singles title at the Winter Olympics in 66 years. Yu Yu broke the world record 19 times, and is the first super Grand Slam gold medal in the history of figure skating to win gold medals in men's singles events such as the Olympic Games, World Championships, Grand Prix Finals, Four Continents Championships, World Youth Championships, and Youth Finals.
Yusei has won too many championships. For him, winning the championship is not what he wants most, breaking through himself and breaking the human limit has become his greatest pursuit. Before participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yu yusei repeatedly expressed his desire to jump the Axel around the jump (4A). In the history of figure skating, no one has yet accomplished this goal. In fact, there are very few athletes who can complete Axel's three-week jump, let alone jump around.
In fact, Yusei Yuki is already 27 years old, and his physical functions cannot be compared with those of his youth. Coupled with years of playing, there have been a lot of injuries, and the technical state is certainly not as easy to complete as when I was young. But Yusheng Yushin was still stubborn to jump around Axel (4A) at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
In the short program competition, Yu Yushin only scored 95.15 points due to mistakes and ranked eighth, 18.82 points less than the first-ranked American player Chen Wei. In his current state, it is already difficult to defend the title. Because he can jump well, but the opponent can also jump well. He's already having a hard time chasing back the points he's behind.
In order to achieve a good ranking, but also in order to achieve his wish, Yu yusuke chose 4A in the first jump of the free skating final, but unfortunately fell on the ice. He later suffered a second fall. While the other moves were beautifully done, they only scored 188.06 points, plus 95.15 points for the short show, for a total score of 283.21. This score only reached the fourth place, not even a medal.
Yu yusei, who felt that he was not playing well, shed tears after the game. When leaving the ice rink, Yu Sheng bowed deeply to the audience and bent down to touch the ice surface.
Previously, there were media reports that the International Skating Federation determined that the 4A of Yusheng knot was successful, but it did not stand firmly. Previously, a number of Japanese media reported that the Yusheng knot 4A was recognized by the International Skating Federation. However, this determination is controversial.
For the performance of this Winter Olympics, Yu Yusei is very dissatisfied. In the face of a Japanese women's figure skating celebrity, also a Winter Olympic champion, and his idol Arakawa Shizuka, Yusuke Habu suddenly did not control his emotions and was sad alone in the face of the wall. He said sadly: "I am really unwilling, I have paid so much, it is also very painful, why the effort is not rewarded, I really worked hard." ”
Later, the interviewer told Yusei Yusuke: "It's really hard, the information just broadcast over there, 4A has been officially recognized." ”
Yusei was surprised and excited, and said with an unbelievable expression, "Ah, is it? ”
The interviewer replied in the affirmative: "How's it going, the first in the world." ”
Yu Sheng had a smile on his face: "How to say it, a little bit has been rewarded, and it has not been in vain." I thought that no matter how much I tried my best, it would be an Olympic Games without return. It's really hard, but even if it only leaves a little trace, even if it is only a little, it is just a little mark in everyone's heart. I also want to record it. Even if you watch my figure skating competition, it is certainly not a good competition in terms of winning or losing, but it gives people the feeling that the figure skating of Habu knots is really good. I would be happy if I could get everyone to produce such a Fa. ”
Unfortunately, Yusheng knotted string has not been happy for long, and the news has reversed. The 4A identification of Yu yu is only a number of Japanese media reports. They thought that the 4A movement of The Feather String had been recognized by the International Skating Federation. Later, the International Skating Federation rejected this determination.
The International Skating Federation (ISU) replied to a question about whether the International Skating Federation has made its first-ever determination of Axel's four-sided jump with feathers knotted strings. The ISU affirmatively stated: "Based on the referee's detailed score, the jump was not rotated enough and was therefore not recognized." ”
This should be the second time that the International Skating Federation has declared the failure of the Yusei Knot 4A and given the basis. The International Skating Union Announcement No. 2254 Single and Pair Skating 2019/20 Action Difficulty Conditions and GOE Scoring Criteria, if the words "4A<<" appear, represent relegation. In addition, according to the official website of the Olympics, the Yusheng knot 4A has not been recognized. Officials pointed out that The 4A action of Yu yushin was 1/4 or more less in the air rotation, but not more than 1/2 lap less. In other words, the number of laps of the Yusheng knot jump is at least 1/4 lap less than the standard number of laps, but it is not 1/2 lap. Nor can this be considered a success.
The International Skating Federation is serious and rigorous in its approach to this matter, after all, Yu Yusuke is a world-class celebrity who has contributed to figure skating. Neither can he erase his achievements, nor can he give them casually. After all, the data is there, and if there is a mistake, it is a joke.
In short, the action of Yusheng knotting the string was not successful, not only failed to land, but also the number of weeks was insufficient. Even Japan's Sports Daily said, "In fact, Yusheng's weeks are insufficient, 180-90 degrees less."
It is believed that Yu sheng also accepts this result. He had already fallen twice during the race and felt defeated. When someone told him that 4A was identified, he was also surprised and did not have full confidence.
However, we still have to admire the Feather Knot. When he was not in very good shape, he was still stubbornly jumping this action, and he did not consider the medal at all. Isn't this spirit of his pursuit of limits the Olympic spirit? Therefore, the feather knot string is commendable.
It is said that Yusei Yusuke does not plan to retire and is preparing to participate in the 2026 Winter Olympics. He will continue to challenge 4A. By then he was 31 years old. His perseverance is truly commendable.
