The International Skating Federation (ISU) released an email on the 11th 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. ”
On February 10, after the figure skating men's singles final at the Beijing Winter Olympics, claims about Yusheng's 4A action being identified appeared on social media. In fact, there is a misunderstanding.
The fact that the INTERNATIONAL SKATING Federation "recognized" this action does not mean that Yu Yu has completed the 4A; rather, this action was declared for the first time in the official competition of the ISU, entered the technical table, and became an action that can be used by the referee to score.
According to the Beijing Daily, after the men's singles free skating event at the Beijing Winter Olympics, on the referee's scoring table, the first action of the Yusheng knot was marked as "4A <", according to the "International Skating Union Announcement 2254 Single Skating and Pair Skating 2019/20 Movement Difficulty Conditions and GOE Scoring Standards", if the words "4A <<" appear, it represents 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.
