"I probably had a bit of a problem with the first jump of my performance, and I was not very stable at the time, and when I was done, I let go a little bit."
Talking about the adjustment after the team competition, Zhu Yi highlighted the thanks.
"I'm very grateful to the coaches, the team leaders, and my parents were very supportive of me – they said, 'You've worked hard, just skate yourself.'"
"I was particularly unhappy with myself before, a little bit ashamed, but I heard words of support and encouragement, and 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. ”
"I blocked a lot of online messages, and then I went to paint, I especially like to paint the sky, and I feel better after I finish painting."
"I hope to continue skating and going to school. I was particularly touched by the moment - when I came back to training last year, everyone helped me adjust, and the adjustment was very smooth. ”
"I know that the level of The Chinese women's singles is a little lower than that of the international ones, but our athletes all want to perform better. I love China, and I have gained the Olympic spirit. ”
"At first, there may have been some online claims that really hit me, but I adjusted."
Give Zhu Yi a hug
In the two previous appearances of the team competition, Zhu Yi cried.
In the women's singles short program of the team competition on the evening of the 6th, Zhu Yi fell twice, and the bottom of the ranking only scored 1 point for the Chinese team.
After the game, she has been forced to endure sadness, when a reporter asked her if she had calculated how many points she could take to help the Chinese team qualify, Zhu Yi instantly choked up: "I have been counting yesterday, counting several times ..."
After the team match, Zhu Yi burst into tears.
Zhu Yi, the last to play in the team competition, put all the pressure on himself, "(My) women's singles level is not so high, but I still stand here, hoping to do my best, get a good result, but did not do it." ”
A day later, Zhu Yi took the stage again, and with the end of the music of "Sunset Avenue", Zhu Yi finally completed all the content of her team competition - the free slide ended, she could no longer control herself, and hid her face on the ice.
After the game, she gave the reason in the interview, "In fact, today is particularly touching and exciting. In the program, I began to want to cry, but at the end of the show, I couldn't hold back and cried out. ”
She was moved by the support of her teammates and coaches, and from the shouts and cheers of the audience. Zhu Yi said that before the game, she changed her shoes in the locker room, and pair skater Peng Cheng came in and gave her a hug, "Which made me feel particularly warm." ”
And the loud cheers from the audience made her feel like "this venue is not that big, like (they) hugged me." ”
This night, Zhu Yi's performance was not perfect, ranking at the bottom with 91.41 points, but her heart was warm.
Zhu Yibi heart.
Sponge in the feet
Over the years, the outside world may not know how difficult Zhu Yi is.
At the end of 2018, when Zhu Yi received the notice to go to Harbin to participate in the national competition, she was accidentally injured during a jumping training, and the blade of the skate plunged into the instep of the foot, and the injury was not optimistic.
But the competition was also imminent, and she postponed the second operation in order to catch her first national competition in time after one operation. When she stood on the ice rink in Harbin, she even had a sponge left over from her previous surgery in her feet.

Injuries are often not in the pain itself, it also has an impact on Zhu Yi's mentality - "I was injured this time, I hurt my foot, which made it difficult for me to return to training and the field, this injury had a big impact on my mental and physical, I was afraid to make jumps, I always thought about my feet, and then this problem affected a lot of other things." ”
In the end, the fledgling Zhu Yi achieved the fourth place in the country during the recovery period of the foot injury.
Before the Winter Olympics, the women's single skating was selected for 5 stops, and finally Zhu Yi stood out from Chen Hongyi and Lin Shan.
The explanation given by the technical group for this group of similar strengths is: "The 3 female players all have 5 kinds of three-week jumps and three-in-three difficulty reserves, Lin Shan's characteristics are high quality of action, large amplitude, but the degree of completion in the competition fluctuates greatly." ”
"Chen Hongyi's jump can almost stand in the game, but there are always different problems in terms of starting blade and weeks. Zhu Yi's jumps are relatively stable, the quality of rotation and footwork completion is very high, and all of them have reached level four after several matches. ”
Blessings from Gu Ailing
When Zhu Yi made a series of mistakes at the Winter Olympics, his mother Cui Jie posted a video of her daughter's selection on social media. In the video, Zhu Yi successfully completed the three-week jump after the inner point ice and then the outer point ice three-week jump, which seems to be responding to the controversy with practical actions.
Gu Ailing also began to support Zhu Yi - Gu Ailing revealed after winning the championship that she had recently gone to see Zhu Yi's ice training.
"Going to ice is amazing, not only do you need to do the same difficult movements as me, you have to step on the knife on your feet, and you have to wear a skirt, which can freeze me at that time!"
Gu Ailing said that mistakes and pressure are part of the competition, many athletes will fall on the competition, but the most important thing is to enjoy the game on the basis of safety, "athletes definitely want to show the best side, I hope everyone can understand." ”
All the teammates of the Chinese team comforted Zhu Yi.
Teammate Chen Hongyi, who lost the election, also said: "The ups and downs of this project are too common, this game may be completed, and the next game may also be fully dropped." ”
Zhu Yi also said in an interview with Xinhua News Agency that the end of the team competition is more of a release of pressure, but also because of the expectations in my heart, "I have trained very hard, and now the problem is still psychological, I will try not to be affected." ”
