Habuyuki is the absolute king of figure skating.
As the Beijing Winter Olympics approached, many figure skaters were seizing every opportunity to train for the Olympic Games, but the highly anticipated Japanese figure skater Yu Yu had to be suspended due to injury.
On November 4, the Japan Skating Federation announced that Yu Yusuke will withdraw from the Figure Skating Grand Prix Japan from November 12 to 14 due to a ligament injury to the right foot joint.
In fact, Yusei's right foot injury has tormented him for a long time, and it has affected the training competition many times since the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
If you want to defend your title at the Beijing Winter Olympics, injuries are the biggest enemy of the figure skater.

Retired due to injury and recuperated for at least one month
There was about a week left before the start of the Figure Skating Grand Prix in Japan, but when the Japanese audience was expecting to see Yusuke Habu performing at home, the accident suddenly happened.
According to the Japan Skating Federation, the ankle ligament of Yusheng's right foot was injured.
"I did my best to stand for Japan, but I didn't expect to be injured because of a fall, and I felt very remorseful. I think hard and do everything I can. In the statement released by Yusei Yushin himself, you can feel his helplessness.
Yu yusuke's ankle injury was very serious.
This also means that The appearance of Yu yushin in this season's figure skating grand prix will continue to be postponed - the grand prix has been held in the United States and Canada, and Yusheng yusuke has not participated, and his original plan was to participate in the Japan leg that will start on November 12 and the Russian leg on November 20.
According to Japanese media, Yu Yusei will not be able to make a comeback until the all-day championship in December.
For the subsequent recovery, Yusei Yushin said that he would do his best: "Now in order to stand on the ice as soon as possible, even if it is painful, I will make appropriate adjustments and do some rehabilitation exercises." Strive to recover to a level where you can compete with others in the shortest possible time. ”
The right ankle became a "time bomb"
Audiences who are familiar with and like Yu sheng can't help but feel a tightness in their hearts when they see the news of his injury, especially the part of the injury this time, or his already scarred right ankle.
In recent years, Yu yusuke has been suffering from repeated injuries in his right ankle, and has been recuperating for a long time, and this injury has almost become a "time bomb" that may detonate at any time.
Long before the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and also in November 2017, Yu yu fell during training and injured the ligament of his ankle. After three months of recuperation, he appeared at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and successfully defended his title, becoming the first player to defend the men's singles gold medal at the Winter Olympics in 66 years.
But the shadow of injury hasn't faded away. In November of that year, he injured his ankle at the Figure Skating Grand Prix in Russia, and had to recover from the injury and missed the following Grand Prix finals.
In the next two seasons, Yusuke finally stopped suffering from ankle injuries, but there were also many accidents – such as the disruption of the training game caused by the arrival of the new crown epidemic. In February, another earthquake struck Japan's Miyagi and Fukushima prefectures, causing Yusei to briefly stop operating the ice rink where Yu yu was training in his hometown.
At present, The Feather Knot is also severely challenged by the opponent in the arena.
He won the All Day Championship in December last year, but at the World Championships in March he made a mistake in free skating and won only one bronze medal.
After the game, Yusei Yushin was also annoyed: "I lost my balance one after another, and jumping is not my style at all, it's really bad." ”
Habuyuki's instructions
Now, as the Winter Olympics approach, he has suffered another ankle injury, and the depression in Yusei's heart can be imagined.
Especially after the World Championships, he originally mentioned his career goals again: "Before spending a lot of effort to practice 4a (Axel around the jump), I want to quickly train 4a and become the first person in the world to jump out of 4a in an official competition." But now, that goal is once again moving away, and the task now becomes to recover as quickly as possible and return to the ice.
For Yusei Yushin, with the "experience" of injuries before the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, he may not panic about this injury, but as he grows older, it is also increasingly difficult for Yusheng, who is about to celebrate his 27th birthday, to continue to dominate the Winter Olympics.
Chen Wei, the American player who won the world championships this year, is the strongest contender, while the Japanese figure skating world is also a turbulent wave, and the runner-up of the Xinke World Championships, Key Mountain Youzhen, is also a favorite of the outside world.

However, in the hearts of many figure skating viewers, Yu Sheng is still the king of ice. According to the Global Times reported in October this year, Hua Chunying, then spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, forwarded the "instructions" received by the Chinese Embassy in Japan:
"Writing to Yusheng's fans, I saw (some Japanese people) say: 'Cheer up on the spot, please go to the Chinese audience'. Leave it to us! In addition, thanks for the understanding of China's COVID-19 prevention measures. China will cheer on athletes from all over the world, including Japan, at the (Beijing) Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. After the Tokyo Olympics, (the Chinese side) will also strive for the success of the Beijing Winter Olympics. ”
Previously, the highest consecutive record for figure skating men's singles at the Winter Olympics was the three-consecutive championship record created by Grafström in 1928. Today's Yusheng knot will continue to do his best to achieve this legend.
