Now, I open the figure skating area of major social platforms. Among the various predictions and analysis posts about the women's single skating for the Beijing Winter Olympics, the majority of ice fans have quite consistent views - the Russian team is likely to be the top three. In several important tours before the Winter Olympics, the "Russian" (Russia and Kazakhstan and other countries) almost "monopolized" the podium. The Asian young actress who was able to fight with them before did not perform well. After the famous players such as Kim Yoona , Asada Maro and Miyahara Chiko retired, who can show the new power of Asian figure skating women's singles in Beijing?

Opportunity for "No. 2 Player"
Originally, Kihei Rihara , known as the "female version of Hanyu Yuzuru ", was regarded as the strongest opponent of the Russian Legion. Unfortunately, due to injuries, the new Japanese "No. 1 Sister" failed to participate in the All-Day Championship and failed to compete in Beijing. In this way, the opportunity fell into the hands of the original second female lead Sakamoto Hanori .
At the end of last year, in the All-day Championship that concerns the quota of Winter Olympics, Hanaori Sakamoto beat his teammates and went straight to the Winter Olympics with his first place. During the several tours before the Winter Olympics, Hanaori Sakamoto seemed to be still looking for the rhythm and feeling of the competition. Although he had performed surprising performances in the short program, the Japanese girl who was highly anticipated in the free skating that decided the winner and loser made mistakes in the continuous jumps several times, making people worried about the upcoming Winter Olympics journey.

Fortunately, Sakamoto Hanori has always maintained an optimistic attitude. In the recent post-training follow-up, she generously talked about her previous mistakes and revealed that she was conducting targeted reinforcement practices. "I went to the Winter Olympics for the first time four years ago, and I was so excited that I didn't have much sense of the competition. This Winter Olympics, my mentality was different, and I also felt more responsibilities, hoping to get higher scores." From Miyahara Torihiro Rihara, Sakamoto Hanori, who has followed the team's two generations of "leaders" for many years, eager to usher in the blooming moment in China.

champion mother's wish
In early 2010, when Kim Yoona danced on the ice of Vancouver to win the Olympic championship, in a Korean family in Singapore , the mother who watched the whole live broadcast smiled and said to her daughter who was under 6 years old: "You must be like her in the future, do you know?" The little girl nodded in confusion and formed an indissoluble bond with figure skating from then on. Ten years later, the child of that year stood on the highest podium for the figure skating women's singles in the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland, and also made the whole world remember her name - Liu Yong .

dancing on the ice rink, the pain of falling is inevitable. This rising star who is rare in South Korea revealed that when he was trained in Singapore, the United States and Japan, he was the one with the most falls. "It hurts really, but if you choose this path, you can't give up. If you feel depressed, just listen to some Korean wave music and occasionally talk to your mother, you will get a lot of encouragement. The next day, cheer up again and return to the training ground."
In more than 10 days, Liu Yong will be able to realize the wish that his mother made at that time and stand on the Winter Olympics like his predecessor Kim Yeon-ah. Although in terms of strength, it is unlikely that a Korean girl who is under 18 years old will win a medal, she is still full of expectations. "When the four continents competitions in 2020, all the audience cheered me up. In the end, Kim Yoona came to present the award. That feeling was so wonderful. In this Beijing competition, the opponent was very strong, but I will do my best to strive for good results and make my mother proud of me.”

Reshaping the starting point for glory
Compared with neighbors, the only female singles candidate in the Chinese team is the only one in the hands of the Chinese team, who will be the number of figure skating women's singles in Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating women's singles? There is no official announcement yet. Judging from the current situation, Zhu Yi is more likely.
This 19-year-old girl, born in California, USA, joined Chinese nationality in 2019 and began preparing for the Winter Olympics. She has won the All-American Championship As the champion of the newcomer group, she is regarded as the hope of reshaping the glory of Chinese figure skating women's singles. In the previous tours, the little girl incorporated more oriental culture into her actions, hoping to see the style of Chinese figure skaters in Beijing. Zhu Yi's father also expressed that she hoped that her daughter could stand on the podium of the World Championship like the Chen Lu of that year. Now, this budding little flower is constantly moving towards this goal.

Last September, Zhu Yi celebrated his 19th birthday in the national training team, which was also the first birthday that the little girl had in the team after returning to her motherland. On that special day, Zhu Yi made the wish of "the Chinese Legion achieved good results at the Beijing Winter Olympics", and the Chinese figure skating women's singles that had been silent for a long time may also take the first step to reshape their glory in Beijing.

Reporter Notes丨 Looking forward to the new idol
In the world of competitive sports, the meaning and possible impact behind the word "idol" seems to be richer than other fields.
Korean player Jin Yilin, who won the women's singles rights for figure skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics together with Liu Yong, revealed in a program that as soon as she received a congratulatory text message from her idol Kim Yeon-ah, and her senior asked her to "do it well", which gave herself more motivation. According to the Korean media, children who watched the Vancouver Winter Olympics can now stand alone, and this is the power of idols.

In fact, for China to achieve zero breakthrough in Winter Olympics medals, Ye Qiaobo , Yang Yang , and Chen Lu, who won the bronze medal of Winter Olympics figure skating, are all worthy of "idol" standards. Unfortunately, their influence cannot be compared with those popular events.
Strictly speaking, Ye Qiaobo Bluetooth, who achieved zero breakthrough in Winter Olympics medals, Yang Yang Bluetooth, who achieved zero breakthrough in Winter Olympics medals, Shenxue / Zhao Hongbo , and Chen Lu, who won the bronze medal of Winter Olympics figure skating, are all worthy of "idol" standards. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, they failed to fully take on this banner.
Now, China has ushered in the best opportunity to give birth to ice and snow sports idols. The high attention of the Beijing Winter Olympics and the goal of "300 million people participating in ice and snow sports" are all good boosters. Gu Ailing , Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, Su Yiming and others' performances inside and outside the arena make people look forward to the birth of high-quality ice and snow idols.
Olympics require competition and results, and more people need to participate. The emergence of sports idols is an important condition for the sustained and healthy development of the project. More than 10 days later, at the Beijing Winter Olympics, we look forward to a new group of sports idols "debuting in groups" to drive the sustained and healthy development of the ice and snow boom, so that more Gu Ailing and Su Yiming will come out among the children who are having fun in the ice rink and snow.
