On March 21, Beijing time, there is an update on the situation of the Figure Skating World Championships held in April 2022, following the announcement of the withdrawal of the Japanese famous Yu Yu Yu, the men's single skating champion Chen Wei of the Xinke Winter Olympics, the same announcement of withdrawal, the reason is also injury, Chen Wei explained: "I have been plagued by injuries, if this competition may cause more serious injuries, comprehensive consideration, or choose to withdraw." ”
Chen Wei is a Chinese athlete, his parents were Chinese, and Chen Wei defeated Yusheng at the Beijing Winter Olympics to win the championship, plus he won the World Championships, Chen Wei won the Grand Slam achievement, the popularity soared, and the name of genius was honored. Originally, Chen Wei was another popular player in the Figure Skating World Championships, as a result, Chen Wei also withdrew due to injury, it can be said that the withdrawal of Yusheng Yuxian and Chen Wei directly made the men's event of the Figure Skating World Championships lose attention.
On the other hand, on the side of female athletes, because of some factors unrelated to sports, Russia's three sets of dolls Trusova, Balsekova and Vallieva were all banned and did not participate in the Figure Skating World Championships. You know, the Russian three-set doll has a delicate appearance, outstanding personal strength, and is currently the world's three best women's figure skating ability. But in the end, the three dolls were banned, which was another major loss at the Figure Skating World Championships, and the attention plummeted!
For the Chinese audience, the most concerned is naturally the Chinese figure skating team, but the Chinese team also announced that it will not participate in the World Championships, because it is worried that the epidemic prevention situation of the event at that time cannot ensure the safety of athletes. This is the third major impact of the Figure Skating World Championships.
In the end, the Figure Skating World Championships were directly reduced to a joke, a competitive sports event, no attention is equivalent to failure, no popularity is equal to no market.
You know, this figure skating World Championships, originally a good time for the International Skating Federation to vigorously promote the development of figure skating, just ended the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, creating the first global rating in history, so that the ice and snow projects are seen by more people, and the influence is linearly improved. This means that the International Skating Federation can fully take advantage of this heat and use the figure skating World Championships to attract more traffic to expand the impact of figure skating and achieve commercial realization. Unfortunately, the International Skating Federation ultimately failed to seize this opportunity, and a star-studded World Championship was difficult to attract more attention.
Obviously, this World Championships is an opportunity for the National Skating Federation to promote the great development of figure skating, but unfortunately they missed, in the future, when the International Skating Federation will encounter such a historical opportunity again is unknown, it is certain that only this Figure Skating World Championships is destined to be starless and doomed to failure!
