On November 4, the Japan Skating Federation released the news that the two-time Winter Olympic figure skating men's singles champion, 26-year-old Japanese famous Yu Yu yu has a ligament injury to his right foot and will miss the International Skating Federation Figure Skating Grand Prix Japan (nhk Cup).
In the new season Grand Prix, Yusuke Yusei signed up for The Japan and Russia. The Japan leg will be played from November 12 to 14, which is also his debut of the season, but unfortunately he retired due to injury, and whether he will participate in the Russia race is unknown. Yusei said: "I have been fighting hard for the nhk cup, but I feel very upset because I was injured in a fall. ”
He also said he would try to get back to training on ice. "Now I am trying to regain my grip on the ice while controlling my pain, hoping to shorten the time to recover to the competitive level as much as possible." Yusei said.
Japan's Kyodo News Agency commented that the injury may affect Yusei's participation in the Beijing Winter Olympics, which opens three months later, which is worrying.
This season, Yu Yu has to challenge the human limit of the four-and-a-half jump, but he has not made it clear whether he will participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
It is worth mentioning that before the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Yusei Yusuke injured his right ankle during a formal practice before the opening of the NHK Cup. After nearly four months of competition gaps, he "parachuted" into the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and eventually won the title with 317.85 points, becoming the first person in 66 years to defend the Men's Singles Championships of the Winter Olympics.
