The official website of the Olympic Channel reported
Recently, the official website of the Olympic Channel released an exclusive interview with American star and Sochi Winter Olympic ice dance champion Meryl Davis to Canadian gold coach Oser. In his opinion, he was full of confidence in the disciple's rebound, and revealed the behind-the-scenes story of Yusheng Jiexian and Chen Wei's sympathy.
Speaking about Yusei's injured combat, Coach Osser first said: "It's like a repeat of last year's story, because the injured person is also the right foot. Maybe compared to preparing for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, we have more time this time. But after all, the last Olympic Games are imminent, and the impetus brought by the Olympic Games can also motivate him to return to the ice rink as soon as possible. It's about the same amount of time we've had, but I think after the last experience, he knows how to recover, he knows he can trust himself, and he's getting his best when the time is right. That's exactly what he did, and this time, like last year, he did. ”
Coupled with the fact that this year's World Championships came to Habu's home country, "this is also the first (major) event he has participated in in Japan since his second victory at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics." So coming here, his popularity is completely overwhelming. When we arrived at the airport, so many media were waiting. Ice fans are even more than they could imagine, even if it is just to watch him train, the tickets to the driving range are sold out, and their enthusiasm wherever Yu Yu strings go. It's like he stands on the ice rink, just raising his legs to pose a 'y' shape, so that the scene cheers will be everywhere. The other contestants are afraid that they will have to finish the inner ice around the jump or the rear inner knot jump to get such applause (laughs). Speaking of the rise, Coach Osser on the couch couldn't help but raise his left leg and imitate the movements of the disciples at that time, "He is the great messenger of figure skating." ”

Davis said that during the World Championships, she read a lot of post-match talks about Yusei and champion Chen Wei, and she felt that there was a sincere mutual appreciation between the two players, similar to the relationship between Yusei and the "same door" and Spanish star Javier Fernandez. Coach Oser agreed: "I think the key word is respect. Yes, Javier and Yusei have great respect for each other. But at the end of the day, Yusei wants to win, Javier wants to win, Uno Masamo wants to win, and Chen Wei wants to win. That's good, that's what great athletes do. ”
But he also revealed that behind the competition, everyone feels sorry for each other, "they all have respect." During training, I saw that when everyone was preparing to jump with music, for example, Chen Wei would change his moving line so that Yusheng would slide in, and then Yusheng would do the same thing to Chen Wei. In case they accidentally bump into it, they will immediately say 'I'm sorry' in quick succession. But at the same time they are fierce competitors, and when they return to their respective training bases, this cruelty will arise and accompany their training. I can assure you that Yusei will be back soon! How can I get extra points? I think there's a good chance he already knows what to do next. ”
"We were as far behind by as 12 points due to a misstep of the short program jump. So we must consider from the reality, is it possible to add a little point here, that can also add a little. To know Yu Yu's physical condition, he is not the kind of player who can add a lot of points to the rotation and pace, and these have an impact on the composition of all movements. So above these, we still have room to rise. Anyway, what I told him was that if he competed with Chen Wei, he still had a chance of winning. Chen Wei and his team are very smart now, and in fact, they are just like we did before. For him, it wasn't just the incredible jumping ability, they knew where to get extra points. His gliding technique, his rotation have been improved... In fact, when Yusheng challenged Chen Weiqun that year, we also did the same thing. ”
Remember that Canada's Chen Weiqun once won the men's single skating championship at the World Championships for three consecutive years, but lost to Yu Yu at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and was relegated to the second place. Coach Osser took this as an example: "8 years ago, we sat down and talked about 'How can we surpass Chen Weiqun?' 'What is his most prominent point?' So we don't need to learn to jump around right away, what we need to do is find the answer to the question and take the time to do it. In each subsequent competition, the gap between Yusheng and Chen Weiqun gradually narrowed. By the time we got to the Sochi Winter Olympics, we were almost tied with him, which was a big step for us. ”

"So back to Chen Wei and Yu Sheng, they became more excellent because of each other. But how long will this continue? Honestly, I really don't know. I think this will also be a problem that plagues Yusheng. He had hinted at it about next year, but it was up to him to announce it. Will he participate in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics? I do not know. In my opinion, can his body last until then? My answer was 'yes'. Because he likes [the Olympics], he likes skating, he likes acting, he likes to compete. In Japan we see so many enthusiastic fans, who wouldn't like that? This creates magic! Not just for him, but for everyone. There will be some unknown things in the future, and magic will also be created. It's a good thing for figure skating, and I think all we can do is wait and see. Coach Osser said.
