On March 2, Beijing time, the official website of the International Skating Federation announced the list of participants in the 2022 Figure Skating World Championships, and there was no Russian athlete in this list, and the athletes from Russia and Belarus were completely banned before. In addition, the Chinese team also collectively missed the World Championships, and the men's singles popularity Wang Yusheng was also absent due to injury. Netizens complained, no one watched!
In the previously concluded Winter Olympics, Russia once again proved itself to be the king of figure skating, we saw the perfect performance of Valieva in the team competition, saw the fairy fight between Sherbakova and Trusova in the women's singles competition, and also saw the threat of Russian athletes to Han Cong/Sui Wenjing in the pair skating competition.
However, because of the ban, Russia and Belarus could not participate in the World Championships. To be fair, there are no Russian athletes at this World Championship, and the viewing of women's singles is difficult to say, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the championship has no gold content. Because everyone knows that the Russian women's singles figure skating is a broken existence, it can be understood that this is a table tennis tournament without national table tennis participation. The gold content of the pair skating has also declined, because the strength of the Russian pair skating is also very strong. In fact, the men's singles also have less to watch because there is no feather knot string.
Russia was completely banned, the Chinese team was also completely absent, Han Cong/Sui Wenjing, Peng Cheng/Jin Yang, Jin Boyang, Zhu Yi and others were absent, and players outside the Winter Olympics did not play, so the Chinese team completely abandoned the World Championships.
In the men's singles, Winter Olympic champion Chen Wei is on the list, and he is very likely to win the Olympic and World Championships back-to-back.
