In recent years, Japanese and Russian loli were fighting fiercely in the women's singles field in figure skating , which made it difficult for players from other countries to break through the siege and stand on the podium. But the young player Lin Eun-soo from South Korea brought surprises to everyone. When you open the report card of the Grand Prix last season, you will find that is one of the few non-Japanese and Russian players who can get on the podium.

What kind of chance did it bring this innocent and romantic 17-year-old girl who likes to eat ice cream under the ice rink to the world of figure skating? How did she complete a 180-degree transformation on the ice rink and succeed in the face of cruel competition?
Just because I looked at you more in the crowd
Whenever I mentioned Korean figure skating, I had to mention a person - Kim Yoon-ah . Lynn Enssue's figure skating career is destined to be inseparable from this name.

Because when I was a child, I saw Kim Yeona’s match video at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, I thought the Queen’s match costumes were very good. When I accidentally passed by an ice skating rink, 6-year-old Kobayashi happily decided that she wanted to start practicing figure skating.
I have to say that "just because I looked at the queen more in the crowd", I was instantly killed, and thus embarked on the professional figure sliding path. Lin Enxiu is a girl who dares to think and do it.
Most of netizens’ understanding of Lin Enxiu comes from her sweet smile and slender figure. Because he is a post-00s generation, Chinese ice fans like to call her Lin Daimei. After taking the lead in the domestic selection competition, Lin Daimei, who instantly showed her presence, proved her strength to everyone with her rapid growth.
2018-19 season is Lynn's first adult group season. As a "newcomer", she won the bronze medal at the Russian Grand Prix and stood on the podium. is worth mentioning that this is the first Grand Prix medal in South Korea after Kim Yoona. She is also the first player to score more than 200 in the Korean women's singles since Kim Yoona.
Because of her body shape, sliding style and performance style are similar to Kim Yoona, she is called Yunakids by the Korean media (Yuna is Kim Yoona's English name). Kim Yoona once said on the show: "Lin Eun-soo's characteristic is that she is fast sliding speed and slender limbs. I hope she will become a contestant with her own style."
In normal times, Kim Yoona, as a senior, has been paying attention to Lin Meimei's situation and never stingy with sharing her former training methods. When he was struggling with the selection of songs, Lin Eun-soo would also take the initiative to seek advice from Kim Yoon-ah. The set of "Seventy Years of Time" that has flooded the circle of friends of Ice Fans is the song selection advice provided by Kim Yoon-ah.
For Lin Enxiu, her birth year was not very good, and she could not participate in the Winter Olympics held at her doorstep due to her age. He also made a late score, and he actually looked a bit like a "Cinderella" character in South Korea. But she always had a belief in her heart - to become a skater like Kim Yoon-ah.
Enjoy showing yourself in front of everyone
For women singles players, there may be a very contradictory period in their career, that is, when they have just been promoted but have not yet developed. During this period, they may reach their peak in technical difficulty because they don’t have to worry about the jumping problems caused by weight and height growth. But because of my youth and too little experience in life, I will lack artistic expression.
Compared with figure skaters of the same age, Lynn's "acting skills" beyond her age, like a Korean pop star, he controls performances of different styles. The two sets of programs presented in 's first adult group season felt her expression to everyone. She did not pretend to be mature, and her eyes were full of stories.
And all this is attributed to her mother's education method: When she was a child, Lin's mother observed that her daughter would focus on her eyes and expressions during training. After learning about her daughter's characteristics, Lin's mother taught Little Lin Enxiu to strive to become a person who enjoys the stage.
Mother Lin hopes that her daughter will be the one who enjoys every moment. It was precisely this state of mind that she took her daughter to participate in various competitions and small competitions since childhood.
Lin Enxiu's growth environment is relatively relaxed. Unlike other parents, her mother will not blame her for not winning the award. Instead, she would encourage her: "Even if only one person feels happy after seeing your performance, it makes sense."
This educational model that has been received since childhood has developed Lin Enxiu's current courageous competition attitude and also plays a role in participating in international competitions. She used maturity and calmness that was not consistent with her age to adjust her tension, bringing surprises to the audience again and again.
When asked if she was nervous, she would still calmly answer: "Whether it was the past or the present, I was trying to enjoy and overcome the tension."
Foreign fans also called her "Jennie Turtle" because she created her own history with her rapid growth. Although in this season, Lynn's performance failed to continue the "stunning" of last season, and even cried before leaving the ice rink in a game because she was not satisfied with her performance.
What kind of history can she write in the figure skating era where she exists? It is actually hard to say, after all, the status of Japanese and Russian loli are really hard to shake easily.
However, I wish her to become an infinitely growing player like Johnny Turtle. I also hope that she can enjoy her career, continue to show herself on the ice rink confidently and happily, and leave some regretless programs for everyone during the competition.
Maybe one day, when we see a figure skate newcomer appearing on the field, we will call her - "Next Lynn Show".
