On February 10, the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating men's single skating competition ushered in the climax of the fairy fight, but the Japanese figure skater Yu Sheng, who has become accustomed to winning the championship, has failed to achieve the great cause of the 3 consecutive winter Olympics championships, even the 4A has made mistakes, but as CCTV commentator Chen Ying said: Providence is difficult to participate in after all, and success or failure should be laughed at.
From my sister's heel to "Little Proshenko"
Born on December 7, 1994, in a family of four in Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, Yusei's father, Hidetoshi Hano, was a teacher at a local public school in Sendai, served as a vice principal, and was a very strict person who loved baseball. His father, Yusei Hidetoshi, named him "Knot String", firstly because he was Sagittarius, and hoped that he would "be as relaxed, calm and full of fighting spirit as the bowstrings on the bow".
Her mother, Yumi Habu, was a housewife. In addition to his parents, he also has an older sister, Yusei Aya. His sister is 4 years older than him. He was diagnosed with asthma at the age of 2. In their childhood, the hometown of Sendai rose to wake up the ice skating fever, the sister went to learn to skate at the age of 8, skating is an indoor competition, inhaled very little dust, in order to treat his asthma, at the age of 4, his father let him and his sister learn to skate together. Until now, Yu Sheng's asthma still has attacks from time to time, and he can hardly take deep breaths.
The younger brother has been the sister's heel since he was a child, and when the sister goes to skating class, the little feather string will be in the classroom, and he will soon have an interest in learning to skate.
Since childhood, Yusei has learned to skate with his sister. At first, his father, Hidetoshi Habu, only hoped that his son would strengthen his body and stay away from diseases by skating. For a child, training is very hard, Yu Yusei did not like figure skating at first, he would like to play baseball, once dreamed of becoming a professional baseball player.
However, Yusei Yusuke was born with a character that did not accept defeat, and he did not give up skating, but regarded the Russian "ice emperor" Pushshenko as his idol, and he even left a mushroom head like an idol.
In an interview at the age of 11, Yu yu said that "Proshenko is the god of figure skating", and his goal is: "Get the Olympic gold medal!"
In the 4th grade of elementary school, Yusei Yusei won the gold medal in his first participation in the All Japan Junior Championships, becoming the famous "Sendai Genius Mushroom".
At the age of 12, Kohasei competed in the All Japan Championship with "Fire Phoenix", and raised his hand to throw a lot of the appearance of little Pushhenko.
The whole family lived in a public rental house of 3,000 yuan, and my sister gave up the company of his figure skating mother for him to practice figure skating
In Japan, figure skating is a very expensive sport, in addition to the course fee, there are skating rink rental fees, skates and clothing fees, equipment maintenance fees, etc., each person has to pay at least 1 million yen a year, which is not easy for a working class who only has his father to work (his father was just a regular teacher at the time).
In order to support him to realize his dream, the Yusei family could not afford to buy a house, and rented a public rental house in Miyagi Prefecture for 50,000 yen a month (about 3,000 yuan, Andha's father's monthly salary was 200,000 yen, equivalent to 1/4, which is very cheap). In order to support her brother's dream, her sister Yusei Aya voluntarily gave up continuing to participate in figure skating.
In order to save family expenses, yumi, the mother, always sews competition clothes for her son by herself, and the mother, who has never learned to be a tailor, starts from paper samples to learn to make clothes and supports her son to go to competition after competition.
In 2011, when the Great East Japan Earthquake struck Japan, Yusei yum escaped from the ice rink with his skates and took refuge in the gymnasium of Sendai Junior High School with his parents and sister. Many houses collapsed in Sendai City, the ice rink was severely damaged, and training was interrupted, which made him think of "just give up", but his parents went around helping him contact the new skating rink. In the end, with 60 disaster relief performances, he "rubbed" to the training ground.
When Yusei Yusuke later went to Canada for professional training, Yumi's mother worried that he was not accustomed to the local diet, so she moved to Canada with him, and every day her mother cooked delicious hometown meals for him to ensure his nutrition and health. In almost every game, his mother would accompany him around and take care of his food and living, even the Beijing Winter Olympics, which was close at hand.
The environment for growing up may have been difficult, but the family's unreserved and silent efforts have enabled Yusei to pursue his dream of figure skating without distraction.
Sochi Night beyond idol Pushchenko
At the age of 17, Yu Yusuke successfully advanced to the adult group, and since then, he has been practicing four-week jumping non-stop, averaging one four-week jump every minute, and at the beginning he tried 50 times to succeed once. If you fall, you will get up and jump again, and even if you are injured, you will still be persistent.
It is like this day and night effort intertwined, ice and fire torment test, so that yu yu string has achieved rapid growth.
On the night of Sochi in 2014, the old and new kings completed the alternation of history. Russian figure skating emperor Pushshenko, who returned from injury, was accidentally injured before the short show, but witnessed the moment when the little prince of figure skating became the king.
On the territory of Russia, the ice and snow overlord, the 19-year-old Yusheng Yushin ignited the audience with a song "Romeo and Juliet" and finally won the gold medal in the men's single skating, which was also the first men's singles skating championship in Asia.
At that moment, Pushchenko said: "Maybe I used to be his idol, but now, Yusheng Yushin is my idol." He's a genius!"
In the same year, Yu Yu won the World Figure Skating Championships and achieved a Grand Slam in the Olympic Games, World Championships and Grand Prix Finals.
People on the ice are like jade, and the prince is unparalleled in the world
In November 2017, when there were less than four months left at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, Yusei accidentally injured the lateral joint ligament of his right foot during training, and there were rumors that he could not catch up with the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. In the end, he made a "timely" comeback from injury and made the PyeongChang Winter Olympics his comeback debut.
In the first men's singles short program competition, Yu Yu made a perfect comeback, his four-way jumping action and performance power were almost perfect, and he performed Chopin's "First Narrative Song" with almost zero mistakes, and the short program finally scored 111.68 points to rank first, and the outside world described his performance as "perfect" and "god-level".
At the Sochi Winter Olympics, although Yusei won the first figure skating men's singles championship, his mistakes in free skating were also ridiculed by some as "the Olympic champion of wrestling". Yusei said: "I am still a former Olympic champion, and I want to 'take revenge'. The mistakes that occurred at the Sochi free skating competition 4 years ago are also one of the reasons why I have continued to work hard and become stronger in the past 4 years, so this time, I think the determination to shame the snow is very strong. ”
In the free skating competition that followed, Yu Sheng performed the perfect "Yin and Yang Division", and when the familiar music sounded, his breath and foot were transformed into a mortician, and the last magic obstacle of Qingming was dusted for the immortals.
Yusheng Yushin only had a small flaw when he jumped off the ice twice, fully demonstrating his light, flowing posture and infectious performance talent, and finally Yusheng Yushin once again lifted the gold medal of this competition with a total score of 317.85 points, successfully defending his title.
CCTV commentator Chen Ying praised in poetic language: "The face is like jade, the posture is like a pine, the wings are like a surprise, the dragon is like a dragon, the Sochi Winter Olympic champion faces the challenges of the young players around him in the Pyeongchang cycle, which reminds me of a sentence - fate, whispering to the warriors: you can't withstand the storm." The warrior whispered: I am the storm. ”
It is well known that Yusei's favorite is Winnie the Pooh, so every time when his game is over, fans will throw Winnie the Pooh doll to the field to express their love and support for him. During the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, fans twice rained "Winnie the Pooh Rain", and children couldn't pick it up.
When Habu successfully defended his title, the idol Pushshenko sent him a blessing for the first time: "I am proud of Habu! He's amazing. When asked by the reporter if he had surpassed Proshenko, Yusheng modestly replied, "I am far from surpassing." ”
Beijing's success or failure of the 4A should be seen with a smile
After a lapse of 66 years, Yusei became the second participant in the history of the Winter Olympics to win the men's figure skating championship in a row, but he was only 23 years old. Yusei decided to charge towards a higher goal: the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics to achieve three consecutive championships and complete the 4A four-and-a-half jump. Among them, 4A is regarded as a bigger goal by Yusei Yushin, "Conquering 4A is my only motivation for the next step." ”
4A, is the only one in the figure skating sport 6 kinds of jumping action "around the jump" has never been conquered by the player in the international competition, this action does not bring high scores to the players, once it fails, it may be greatly reduced points, since the Norwegian player Axel Paulson invented this jump in 144 years, countless players are trying, but none of them have succeeded, if they can successfully challenge, they will be famous in history.
This action has exceeded the limits of human beings. Some figure skating masters asserted that with the current human physical fitness, the difficulty of 4A is even no less than that of marathon "breaking 2".
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, 27-year-old Yusuke has been accompanied by injuries, and in November 2021, he was injured and forced to retire from the NHK Skating Championships in Tokyo, and he made a successful comeback at the All Japan Figure Skating Championships in December, completing the 4A during pre-tournament open practice. Because of the epidemic, Yu Yu's foreign coach could not come to Japan, and he could only insist on training alone in the ice rink.
It wasn't until 2 days before the start of the tournament that he came from Tokyo to Beijing to compete. In the figure skating men's singles short program on February 8, Yusei Yusuke selected the song "Introduction and Whirling Caprice" by French musician Saint-Saëns, in order to commemorate his two years of hard work and perseverance in training alone in Japan.
On February 10, in the men's free skating competition, Yu Yusuke failed to successfully challenge the 4A, and he fell down when he fell on the ice. In the end, Yusei yushin ended the Winter Olympics tour with the 4th place and no chance to receive the podium. At the end of the curtain, with tears in his eyes, he bowed deeply to the audience and bent down to touch the ice to pay his respects.
CCTV commentator Chen Ying once again wrote a poem for Yusheng's knot: Providence is difficult to participate in after all, if it is a pity to climb to the top, and Jun has added several legends of Qing history, success or failure should also be laughed at.
