Near the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Japan Skating Federation (JSF) announced on November 4 that Yusei Yushin, who has won two consecutive Figure Skating Olympics, is withdrawing from the first match of the season, the Figure Skating Grand Prix in Tokyo from the 12th to the 14th of this month. The reason for the withdrawal was injury to the ligament of the right foot joint.
Yusei Yushin said in a statement: "I gave my all for the Figure Skating Grand Prix in Japan, but I was very unhappy just because I was injured because of a fall. At the moment, I'm always looking for the best way to practice. He said that he now aims to go to ice as soon as possible, while controlling pain, while doing recovery on the ice. Looking forward to returning to competitive levels as soon as possible.
According to Japanese media reports, Yusuke Yusuke has previously missed the Figure Skating Grand Prix in the United States and Canada, and he will also miss the Russian leg that starts on November 20, and it will not be until the all-day championship held from December 22 to 26 at the earliest.
The All Japan Championships are the last round of competition for Japanese figure skaters competing for three tickets to the Beijing Winter Olympics, and are also mandatory to participate in the competition. However, according to Japan's official selection criteria, the world's no. 1 Yusei Yusuke can miss the tournament due to injury, and even if he misses the All Japan Championship, he still has the opportunity to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
