“I will not play a game that I will regret.”
(Beijing = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Kyung-yun = Korean figure skating women’s single signboard Yoo Young (Surigo) seemed to have erased the triple Axel downgrade decision from the short program of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
Yoo Young met with reporters following completing official training at the Capital Indoor Stadium in Beijing, China on the 16th, and said, “It’s not something I can do,” he said, “I accept the judge’s decision. We will do our best to be recognized.”
Yooyoung tried the triple axel as her first acting assignment in the figure skating short program held on the 15th.
It was a jump that rotated three and a half laps, but he landed well and smiled brightly.
However, the referee decided to downgrade (when the number of rotations of the jump is insufficient by more than 180 degrees).
It was judged that the number of revolutions was insufficient by almost one lap.
As a result of this judgment, the basic point of the jump fell from 8.00 to 3.30, the basic point of the double accelerator, and the performance score (GOE) was also reduced by 0.99 points.
Judging that the number of revolutions was insufficient, Yooyoung tried a triple axel and received only 2.31 points.
Alexandra Trusova (3.20 points), who fell while trying the triple axel, and Camilla Balieva (5.26 points), who landed on two feet, received fewer points.
In the short program, Yooyoung got a score of 70.34 and placed 6th overall.
If Yooyoung was judged clean in the triple axel, the total score would increase by regarding 8 points, and she might aim for 4th place.
However, Yoo Young was not disappointed.
He was also immersed in the triple axel check in training that day.
Yooyoung said, “I succeeded a few times and fell a few times.
He laughed, saying, “I talked to my mom following finishing the game last night, and in free skating, she told me to spin a little more when doing triple axel jumps.”
There was another ‘Mom’s Order’.
Yoo-Young’s mother asked her coach, Mie Hamada (Japan), the coach, to slap her on the cheek if she trembled too much before the game.
Coach Mie actually slapped Yoo Young on the cheek before the short program and became a hot topic.
Yooyoung said, “I was embarrassed at first, but it was funny and I was relieved,” said Yooyoung.
Yoo Young will have a free skating match at the same place on the 17th.
“I don’t want to regret it when I look back later,” he said confidently, “I will show you everything I have prepared.”
