The much-anticipated 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will take place in February next year, and the Chinese team has ushered in good news in the countdown stage. The ace female players from South Korea and Japan have been hit by the "Waterloo" of their own lives at this moment. Two consecutive all-day figure skating women's singles champion Ji Ping Lihua not only withdrew from this weekend's all-day championship competition due to a right ankle injury, but may also miss the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics. On the other side, South Korea's short-track speed skater Shin Seok-hee was investigated for black teammate and coach. According to the ruling of the South Korean Skating Union, Shen Xixi was suspended for two months, and it is likely that he will not win the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The Japanese figure skater retired, and Kihei Ewha followed the pace of Habuyuki
At the 2021 Japan National Figure Skating Championships, the results of the short program competition in the women's singles event were released. Hanori Sakamoto played well in the short program, taking the temporary first place with a large advantage of 79.23 points. Higuchi Shinba, Ai Kawabe, Tomoko Miyahara and Mihara Arei are close behind, ranking 2-5 respectively, and they will compete for three tickets to the Winter Olympics in the free skate. Some netizens found that the Japanese figure skating sister, nicknamed "3A Girl" Kihei Ewha, missed the game.
I believe that many figure skating enthusiasts are not strangers to Jiping Pear Blossom. The figure skater, who won the "all-day figure skating" championships, won the bronze medal in 2017 for the first time to participate in the full day three AAA moves, silver medal in 2018, and gold medal in 2019 and 2020. What I didn't expect was that the Japanese figure skater sister was hit hard in July 2021. According to the News of the Japan Ice Association, Kihei Ewha's right talal bone fatigue fracture did not recover and officially withdrew from the "Japan National Figure Skating Championships". Ji Ping Lihua said through social media accounts: Thank you for your support and attention, because the injury can only focus on treatment, so that everyone can see her healthy figure on the ice as soon as possible.
The South Korean speed skating scandal investigation was released, and Shen Xixi insulted his teammates and suspended him for two months
Japan's figure skating sister has been hit hard, and South Korea's speed skating women will be even worse. According to the results of the Korean Ice Association's investigation into Shen Xixi, she was found to have committed misconduct and was sentenced to a two-month ban. As we all know, Shen Xixi is a champion of the South Korean short track speed skating women's team, and she has won gold medals at the short track speed skating World Championships and the Winter Olympics. Arguably, she is likely to help South Korea dominate short-track speed skating for a longer period of time. What I never expected was that after Shen Xixi entered 2021, there were various reversals of news.
At the beginning of the year, her case of perennial abuse by the head coach was pronounced. The prisoner received the punishment he deserved, and Shen Xixi also became the object of great concern from the outside world, giving her greater help and hoping that she would get out of the haze as soon as possible. In the Korean short track speed skating competition, Shen Xixi won the championship in one fell swoop, making the outside world feel that this sweet and lovely son of the wind officially returned. The good times did not last long, and Shen Xixi's previous text messages with the coach were exposed, and she insulted her teammates with words and caused a bad social impact. After an investigation, the Korean Speed Skating Association said it damaged the image of the association, but the evidence of "deliberately knocking down teammates during the game" was insufficient. Shen Xixi can still appeal, but whether he can participate in the Winter Olympics has become unknown.
As the saying goes: "Life is not satisfactory for ten times eight or nine times." The ice and snow celebrities of South Korea and Japan are likely to be absent from this sports stage before the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics for their own reasons. It can be said that it is a very big regret for the careers of Ji Ping Lihua and Shen Xixi. Of course, as long as the Japanese 3A girl Kihei Ewha heals her injuries, she can still show her dance posture in the future in the figure skating arena. And Shen Xixi, even if he returns after a two-month ban, may not be welcomed by too many people, and may even quickly withdraw from the short track speed skating field.
