does not wait for the finale to be released, Hanyu Yuzuru has already walked out of the lounge that belongs to the top three. He had long known that the podium had no place, and the dream of three consecutive Olympics and challenging Axel's quadruple jump (4A) finally turned into endless loss and unwillingness, staying on the ice surface that he had just fought.
On both sides of the narrow passage, champion Chen Wei and his fans usher in a celebration moment. Hanyu hurried past without expression, and disappeared at the exit of the passage with his head raised. Just like in the past four years, he has been at the peak but has no intention of looking at the small mountains and insisting on looking up at the scenery outside the sky.
"This is an Olympic Games that are brave to challenge and full of pride. I spared no effort to play everything I have." Even though the ending was not perfect, Hanyu regards "imperfection" as part of his performance, and uses the song "Heaven and Earth" as his final chapter of the Olympics, like a tragic monologue of the lonely and brave "God of War".
has no regrets to choose, "4A is close to success"
's small accident of "having been hated by ice" during the short program competition, Yuzuru Hanyu withdraws from the championship ranks early. "I have nothing to be afraid of." On the defending champion's wish list, only the obsession with "a lifelong life" is left - completing the unprecedented Axel quadruple jump (4A) on the Olympic stage.
warmed up 6 minutes before the game, Yuzuru Hanyu tried to jump in a corner of the ice rink twice in a row, which was about to challenge the battlefield of 4A, but both times fell to the ground in the audience's exclamation. He carefully checked the ice surface and confirmed that the accident of "Kai Bing" would not happen again. He clenched his fists to encourage himself, and finally completed it successfully on the third jump.
When the passionate melody of "Heaven and Earth" sounded, Hanyu, who turned into the "God of War" Kenshi Uesugi, set off on the battle. The first "battle" is a battle that will control your destiny. Under the gaze of everyone, he jumped up and rotated quickly, but fell to the ground while falling ice. "I jumped out of the best and closest to success in my heart." But in the end, he failed to win this "battle".
, perhaps affected by the failure of Challenge 4A, Hanyu fell again in the subsequent quadruple jump, making this curtain call more tragic. The last note fell, and he pointed his hands at the sky, looking up with deep affection. "The ending posture is the same as "Love from Russia" I slid when I was 9 years old. I want to reunite with myself at that time in this way." I can't bear to put away my sword, don't want to say goodbye, and no longer young figure skating "God of War". I hope that time can go back to the past. "Of course I'm very unwilling to give up. I always feel that I have accumulated a lot, but I have done everything I can think of."
has not fulfilled my obsession, "Give me more time"
From the beginning of choosing the song "Heaven and Earth", Hanyu has longed to use the dance on the ice to interpret Kenshin Uesugi's fighting spirit - without the ambition to compete for power, but if he decides to join the war, he must do his best to win, and even if the ending is a win or a loss, he must enjoy the meaning of the battle.
"I interpreted all my moods and the whole story. Perhaps it is precisely because of the mistakes that the story of "Heaven and Earth" is complete." With the determination to "pursuit with life", Hanyu has integrated his almost cruel practice and complex mood into the performance. In the past few days, he would have been asking himself: "Why did he work so much but he didn't get any reward?" Walking off the ice rink, he only hoped, "If there was a moment when everyone thought that Yuzuru Hanyu's figure skating was really good, my efforts would be meaningful."
If he hadn't been holding a thick ice bag in his hand after the game, no one knew that Yuzuru Hanyu was fighting with a wounded leg. During the 4A training before the game, he accidentally sprained his right ankle and had to take painkillers to relieve the pain. When he challenged 4A, his right foot almost lost consciousness. "I wanted to say it out after I succeeded, but I did use a lot of methods to barely stand up." Hanyu, who was weak but strong, never wanted to present his weak side in front of others. Just like in the top three restrooms, he used funny actions to hide his long inner torment; in the post-match interviews, he choked up several times, but he always held back his tears and refused to break the dam.Until the former Japanese tennis player Matsuoka built , the mutual appreciation of both athletes made Hanyu rarely "break the defense" in front of the camera. And that is his truest emotion.
"I really thank you for your support. I don't know if my performance has carried this support well, but I have really tried my best." At this time, no one emphasized how difficult it is in 4A, but everyone wants to know whether Hanyu will continue to pursue unfinished obsessions. "I strongly feel that falling ice at a speed of 1.500 is a bit too dangerous, and humans may not be able to do it." Hanyu, who lives for the challenge, did not give a definite answer this time. "I don't know. I have given all of it this time. Please give me more time." He bowed deeply to all the reporters, and the "God of War" Hanyu turned around and left with everyone's expectations and respect.
