On February 15, Beijing time, the Women's Singles Competition of Figure Skating at the Winter Olympics, China's Zhu Yi ranked 27th (penultimate) and regrettably missed the free skating competition. Although there was no obvious major mistake, it was the first time that the Winter Olympics played its own level, but it was still eliminated.
Zhu Yi made consecutive mistakes in team competitions, his own pressure was huge, and he was at the bottom of 2 games, and Zhu Yi had to prove himself in the individual game. Of course, the pressure of the individual competition is not small, because the Chinese team is still only Zhu Yi.
This time, Zhu Yi did not make another big mistake, and in the melody of the Rolling Stones' "Paint It Black", he completed the game relatively completely. Therefore, Zhu Yi was also in a good mood after the game, showing a smile that had been missing for a long time. However, Zhu Yi's score of 53.44 points does not ensure that he will advance to the free skate. According to the rules, 30 players took the top 24 to advance to the free skate, and Zhu Yi could only wait patiently. In the post-match interview, Zhu Yi especially thanked Jin Boyang: "I was particularly dissatisfied with myself before, but when I heard words of support and encouragement, I especially thanked them. In the team, Jin Boyang will make me happy. He was a funny boy who could see that I was nervous and then figured out how to make me laugh. There were other teammates who were gentle and they were all cheering me on. ”
It is a little regrettable that the subsequent players are relatively stable, so Zhu Yi did not have the opportunity to free skate the competition. In 2018, Li Xiangning won the 20th place; in 2014, Li Zijun won the 14th place; in 2010, Liu Yan won the 18th place; in 2006, Liu Yan won the 11th place. The last time the Chinese team went into free skating was in 2002, which means that Chinese figure skating set the worst record in 16 years.
Can zhu yi be blamed for this? Maybe not. At present, the overall strength of China's women's singles is indeed relatively inferior, Zhu Yi's own strength can not ensure that she enters the free skating, and this time the short program has become her last game, even after completing her own action, from the smile point of view, Zhu Yi should not have much self-blame.
