The Chinese figure skating men's singles only get one ticket
The 2021 Stockholm Figure Skating World Championships closed last night, because it was the qualification tournament for the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the Chinese figure skating team had high hopes for it, so the elite did their best. However, the ending was a great disappointment, only 2 tickets for the doubles, one ticket for the Beijing Winter Olympics in men's singles, women's singles and ice dance, which was indeed unexpected by everyone.
Among them, the men's singles project that was expected to get 2 tickets, due to our number one men's singles Jin Boyang in the short program and the free skating has made major mistakes, especially in the free skating almost collapsed, and finally only won the third-to-last 22nd place, losing a ticket that was thought to be at hand.
The dilemma of Choosing One of Jin Boyang and Yan Han
Although the game has passed, the problems exposed in the World Championships really need to be summarized after going back, so as not to repeat them in future games.
There are still more than ten months left before the opening of next year's Eastern Olympic Games (February 4 next year), and it is not too late to make up for the dead.
But then the question arises: there is only one place to participate, so who will be sent to participate? Is it The slightly more difficult Jin Boyang who made a mistake this time? Or Yan Han, who won the ticket but was not difficult enough, to play?
The men's singles has lost the qualifying tournament
In addition to the World Championships, the Wudi Cup in the second half of this year will also be used as the remaining qualification for the losing competition, but the men's singles has not been able to lose the qualifier, and the doubles are expected to get the 3rd place through the losing round.
According to the rules of participation in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games: if the sum of the points of the two (pairs) players who perform best in a single event of the World Championships is not more than 13, 3 (pair) Olympic places will be awarded; if the points are 14-28, 2 (pair) Olympic places will be awarded.
Our men's singles Yan Han, Jin Boyang finally scored 13 and 22 places, according to the points regulations, the ranking did not reach the top 16 people have 16 points, and those who have obtained higher rankings take the ranking as the order of points, so the sum of the two points is 13 + 16, and the ranking points of 29 just exceed the two-place threshold of 28, so the Chinese men's singles can only choose one person to participate in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
If Jin Boyang can get 15th place, or Yan Han can go one place higher and get 12th place, then we will still be eligible to participate in the losing competition.
Yan Han is relatively stable, but the difficulty is low, and he lacks competitiveness in the Winter Olympics.
Yan Han, who was born in March 1996, is 25 years old, and the Beijing Winter Olympics will most likely be his last Olympic Games, and the places he has won through his own struggle are indeed unfair to him if he can't participate in the end.
However, because Yan Han is 25 years old, there is almost no possibility of wanting him to continue to improve the difficulty of the action. In today's figure skating world where difficulty is king, sending Yan Han to compete is basically not competitive.
Yan Han's results are relatively stable, which is his advantage.
Jin Boyang's previous record is more advantageous, and the action is difficult, but it lacks stability.
Born in October 1997, Jin Boyang has won the third place at two World Championships and won the 2018 Four Continents Tournament as Mr. 300 Points.
At the PyeongChang Winter Olympics in 2018, he also finished fourth with nearly three hundred points. Judging from the past achievements, Jin Boyang obviously has more advantages. In addition, his difficulty also has an advantage.
It is fairest to decide the roster through the team selection
The palms of the hands and the backs of the hands are all meat, and every athlete is not easy!
In fact, Xiaobian is really worried here, and the Chinese figure skating team has its own choice: that is, to compete fairly through the team selection competition.
Now there is still a period of time before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the state of every athlete will have ups and downs, everyone will have mistakes, and people cannot be beaten to death because of a mistake.
National honor above all else! It is also meaningful to make sacrifices for the honor of the country.
Now it can only be said that both Yan Han and Jin Boyang have the opportunity to make full preparations for the competition, and at the right time at the end of the year, conduct a selection competition within the team, at that time, whoever is in a good state will represent China to participate in the Olympic Games, which is relatively fair.
The state pays a huge price to train every athlete, and the athlete must be prepared to make sacrifices for the honor of the country. At that time, whether Jin Boyang or Yan Han did not participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, their efforts and sacrifices were worth it and meaningful.
