2/8、Beijing OlympicsFigure skating men’s short program held in.Aim to win 3 consecutive Olympic gamesYuzuru HanyuI was stuck in a hole that was made on the ice and might not jump the 4 rotation Sarcoe, and it became a no way 8th place launch.
Hanyu, who finished the performance, said with a wry smile, “I was hated by ice.”To the free who will be waiting on the 10th, he said, “I am very confident in acting.Only God knows the rest.We still have time, so we want to make the best use of the time following the short is over, while receiving everyone’s thoughts, and making it a finished product.”
Currently, 18.82 points difference with Nathan Chen, who became the leader in SP.Although free remains, there is no doubt that it is quite a painful development, but the road to the Olympic 3 consecutive wins is not completely closed.
“At the 2017 World Championships in Helsinki, Hanyu was behind in the 5th place in the short race, but he reversed the 10.66 points gap with the leader in the free race and won the championship.
The possibility of a ”miracle reversal” remains this time, and the key to that is the quad accelerator (4-and-a-half-turn jump, 4A).It is the highest difficulty jump that no one has ever succeeded in the official race yet, but Hanyu has publicly stated that he will challenge.
When it was shown for the first time in Japan in 2021, it was downgraded by icing with both feet, but the quad accelerator has the highest foundation point, and if it succeeds in free, it will be a big source of scoring.We still have the potential to surpass Nathan Chen.” (Sports writer)
