Make a comeback! Recently, two-time Winter Olympics figure skating men's single skating champion Yuzuru Hanyu raised questions about the existing scoring rules of International Skating Union , and even said that he did not trust this scoring standard at all. There is no doubt that in the Sochi Winter Olympics and the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics cycle, Yuzuru Hanyu is the ceiling of figure skating men's singles, and no one can shake his dominant position. In 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics , Yuzuru Hanyu lost to the American Chinese player Chen Wei and finally only won fourth place. Perhaps it was this failure that made Yuzuru Hanyu completely convinced.
In July this year, he officially announced that he would no longer participate in the competition, but instead became a professional figure skating athlete. Although he left the arena, Yuzuru Hanyu is still doing well in the professional figure skating field. The outside world pays more attention to it than before. Recently, Japanese media released a picture of Yuzuru Hanyu's retirement interview. Judging from the video, Yuzuru Hanyu expressed strong dissatisfaction with the scoring rules of the figure skating event at the press conference. Some people speculate that the reason why Yuzuru Hanyu retired was because he was unwilling to accept the existing scoring standards.
In Yuzuru Hanyu's opinion, he is better at artistic expression than before, but the score given by the referee has not improved, which also confused the entire team. These remarks shocked the outside world. After all, as the well-deserved king of figure skating men's singles competitions in the past, Yuzuru Hanyu rarely makes dissatisfied remarks in front of the camera, and will not point his finger at the International Skating Union. After saying goodbye to the arena, Yuzuru Hanyu changed his normalcy and slammed the scoring rules formulated by the International Skating Union. After this interview was spread on the online platform, netizens expressed their opinions one after another.
Some people said that after retirement, Yuzuru Hanyu no longer needs to look at the face of the International Skating Union, nor does he need to rack his brains to cater to the referee's preferences. When I was interviewed, I was naturally full of confidence. Some netizens also joked, "Yuzuru Hanyu became the emperor of the mouth after retirement!" According to a Japanese figure skating professional, Yuuzuru Hanyu had repeatedly questioned the referee's score in his early years, and also called on the International Skating Union to change the relevant scoring rules. But because I am still a figure skater, I cannot do without the support of the International Skating Union. Even if I am angry, I can only choose to endure.
But after exiting the arena, Yuzuru Hanyu frequently expressed dissatisfaction with the International Skating Union's scoring system in an interview. As Asia's first men's singles skating champion for figure skating at the Winter Olympics, Yuzuru Hanyu achieved Grand Slam feats such as the Olympics, World Championships, and Finals. After defending his title at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Yuzuru Hanyu became the first person in history to win the men's singles figure skating championship at the Winter Olympics for 66 years. However, unlike Prusshenko , Yuzuru Hanyu dared to challenge the bottom line of the ISU after leaving the arena!
