On February 12, the International Skating Federation (ISU) released an email on the 11th about whether the International Skating Federation has certified the Axel four-sided jump of the feather string 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's string was marked as "4A <".
According to 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, it means relegation, that is, direct relegation 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.
Japan's Sports Daily said that in fact, Yusei's weeks were 180-90 degrees less. However, Yusei Yusei did not give up on this, and responded after the game that he hoped that he could continue to work hard to challenge this result on the certified field and finally complete such a challenge result.
