HabuYuki Skating Alliance pushes the state of mind of Yugen Yamayama to repay his hometown of Sendai
The Beijing Winter Olympics have closed, and it has been half a month since Yusei Yushin (27 years old) returned to Japan. Yusei's absence from the "World Championships" that began on March 21 was considered a sprained right foot joint and needed a temporary recuperation.
Compared with the Olympic Games, which achieved two consecutive championships, it is a fact that Yusei is not in tune with the World Championships. He won the championship in 2014 and 2017 and finished second consecutively in 2015 and 2016. Absent due to injury in 2018, he lost to Chen Wei in 2019, ranking second. Suspended in 2020 due to the impact of COVID-19.
At the 2021 World Championships in Stockholm, Yusheng did not play well in the free skating jump, not only allowing Chen Wei to achieve 3 consecutive championships, but also losing to the junior Key Mountain Youzhen (18 years old), ending with a bronze medal.
Figure skating related personnel revealed:
In fact, at the 2021 World Championships, there were also figure skating related personnel who revealed their dissatisfaction that 'the Japan Skating Union only worked key mountain players'. It can be seen that the attitude of the alliance to these two people is very different. ”
The background is the anxiety of the skating league that must cultivate "the next yusheng star player".
"The league's biggest source of revenue is tv rights and sponsor fees, but at the moment both sides have to rely on feather players. Therefore, if the feathered string of the "cash cow" retreats, the situation will become very serious. The league is desperately trying to find the next star. (Another figure skating related person)
In order to "change generations", the skating alliance that focuses too much on the key mountain has attracted many questions and dissatisfaction from people around Yusheng. However, Habu himself is very supportive of alternating with the next generation.
Contrary to the voices of the people around them, the Feather Runners themselves hope that the younger generations will almost get attention. In fact, he inspires his juniors at the first opportunity. (Another figure skating related person)
One of the most memorable ones was the press conference of the representatives who participated in the World Championships in the spring of the following year after the 2020 All Japan Championships.
"Participating in the World Championships as a high international competition for the first time, the key mountain players were not very confident and said, 'At the beginning, I really thought I could go to the competition' and 'there was a lot of uneasiness'. Seeing this, Yusei encourages him to say, 'Don't lie about your mood'" (mentioned above, Another figure skating related person)
After that, KeyShan said: "Since I was said that sentence, my negative feelings have been completely gone." "At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Jianshan won the silver medal, and Uno Masamo (24 years old) won the bronze medal, just from the performance point of view, it is already a generational change.
"What should Yusei do in the future to be the best?" Aren't you now sliding and groping? The desire for juniors to look at their own backs and the desire for others to become stars are intertwined.
In addition, he also hopes to "establish an ice rink in Sendai" and "in the future, he wants to use Sendai as a base to guide future generations". Habu should want to thank his hometown Sendai, and he is also considering what is the best way to do this. (Local skating related personnel)
Yusei appeared on Twitter at team JAPAN, the Beijing Winter Olympics, on March 4, sending a message to Sapporo City's bid to host the 2030 Winter Olympics.
"Well, if you decide to host the Olympics in Sapporo in 8 years, yes, I really want the figure skaters to do the best performance." I also want...... attend. Whoops, whoops. ”
Habuyuki may be looking farther ahead...
Panda: How can there be such a god person, and it is really heartwarming to search for a large number of pictures of the younger generations, so I want to be touched by Yusheng.
