In the just-concluded figure skating pairs free skating competition, China's Han Cong/Sui Wenjing broke through three pairs of Russian players with a near-perfect performance to win the 9th gold medal for the Chinese Winter Olympic Team.
Only three days before the closing of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the figure skating pair skating competition has just begun, and Peng Cheng/Jin Yang and Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, who have appeared in the team competition nearly two weeks ago, have finally waited for the debut moment. This was the first time after the 1956 Winter Olympics that pairs skating was used as the "big axis" of figure skating.
In yesterday's figure skating doubles short program competition, Peng Cheng/Jin Yang, who appeared first, did not fall on the single jump again, and the throwing jump, lifting, twisting and continuing steps also got the fourth level. A slight regret is that the rear outer spiral rating only got 2 levels, which also made the short program score of the two only 0.61 points away from the season best. After completing the show, Peng Cheng jumped up excitedly on the ice rink, and compared with the regret of stopping the short program stage four years ago, this time being able to advance to free skating with a performance close to the highest score of the season is indeed a big improvement.
Tonight, Peng Cheng's ink color, Jin Yang's black and red penultimate debut, accompanied by the three-stage soundtrack of the movie "Night Banquet", in addition to the opening single jump Peng Cheng will jump three weeks into two weeks, and then the single three weeks for two weeks, twisting and lifting for three weeks, throwing for three weeks, reflexive lifting and a series of technical actions have not made mistakes, the music stopped, Peng Cheng and Jin Yang hugged each other and knelt on the ice, with tears in their eyes.
Indeed, from the mistakes of the Pyeongchang short program without the opportunity to free skate, to this time the team free skating, single short program and free skating have played their own level, Peng Cheng/Jin Yang showed themselves at the doorstep, and finally they temporarily ranked first with a score of 138.74 and a total score of 214.84, but it is still difficult for such a score to compete for medals.
The Peng/Jin duo turned the page of Pyeongchang's defeat, while Sui Wenjing/Han Cong had a perfect start similar to Pyeongchang's. At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong led the short show, and the second-placed team from Russia at the time was the Russian duo of Tarasova/Morozov. This time, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong once again ranked first in the short program with a perfect performance, and also broke their own world record for the scoring of the double skating short program. With a difference of 0.16 points, it was still Tarasova/Morozov. 2021 World Championship champions Mishenna/Gallamov are 1.65 points behind Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, temporarily in third place.
After successfully completing the program and getting high scores, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong were naturally in a good mood, and Sui Wenjing, who came to the mixed mining area, took on the role of "spokesperson" and joked with reporters. However, for the "record-breaking" thing, the two do not have much feeling, and it is the most satisfactory thing for the two to present a set of programs at home. In the eyes of the two, the high score of the short program only laid a foundation, but also continued to exert energy for free skating. After all, the difference between Sui Wenjing/Han Cong and third place Missiona/Gallamov is still within 2 points, and in the field of pair skating, this is also a "anything is possible" point difference.
Tonight's "Onion Bucket" combination breaks all the possibilities of other players with a near-perfect play.
Sui Wenjing / Han Cong's choice of track today is the "Bridge Over Troubled Water" used when winning the 2017 World Championships, for today's high-profile free skating, "onion barrel" did not give themselves too much pressure, they think that the high score of the short program is to free skate to save energy, will not consider the difference in scores, just want to slide out the best of themselves.
They did it! After the opening, the world's most difficult twist lift was completed in four weeks, three weeks in a row two weeks and two weeks of single jump completed, although the single three weeks jump Sui Wenjing had a small mistake, but then two consecutive throwing jumps for three weeks and lifting and other difficult moves are very successful, coupled with perfect artistic performance, this set of programs make people intoxicated, Sui Wenjing cried, they became!
At 239.88 points, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong surpassed Tarasova/Morozov's 239.25 points, and after going through hardships, after falling down again and again to get up, won the Winter Olympic gold medal at home!
