Beijing News (Chief Reporter Sun Haiguang) In the figure skating men's singles free skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics held on February 10, Yuzuru Hanyu challenged himself and history. Like every challenge in the past three years, Yuzuru Hanyu still failed to complete the 4A he had been obsessed with for a long time today. Despite falling again and not getting the podium, for Yuzuru Hanyu, this is his mission to accomplish.

4A, "This is my mission."
After the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics , Yuzuru Hanyu always regarded 4A as his goal. This is Yuzuru Hanyu's last goal in the Beijing Winter Olympics. It can also be said that he has been thinking about challenging the 4A jump for 3 years. If everyone says that only I can do this action, it is my mission to complete it."
4A, officially named Axel Quad Jump. As one of the 36 jumping movements of figure skating html, also known as front-out point ice jump, it was first completed by Norwegian player Axel Paulson in 1882. It is also the most difficult of the 6 jumps for men's singles. Although it is also called quadrilateral jump, 4A should jump half a circle more. Compared with 3A, the highest point of 4A is 17 cm higher, and the freezing point is 1.1 meters away.
From the point of view, the basic score of 4A is 12.5 points, which is only about 3 points higher than the ice quadruple jump and Sahoff quadruple jump. If you fall or the movement is not completed very well, you will also be deducted for completion points. For Yuzuru Hanyu, who can easily control a variety of quadruple jumps, such an adventure seems a bit unworthy. In today's game, Yuzuru Hanyu fell 4A at the beginning and 5 points were deducted for GOE points.
At the All-Day Championship at the end of last year, Yuzuru Hanyu challenged 4A in the official competition for the first time, but failed. In the last practice before the game this morning, Yuzuru Hanyu was still trying to practice 4A. The first time his feet fell off ice, and the second time he fell. During the 6-minute warm-up session of the official game, Yuzuru Hanyu tried 4A again, but still failed. At the last moment, Yuzuru Hanyu was still obsessed with completing this action that had never been completed by humans.
In Yuzuru Hanyu's program list, 4A is ranked first, which is a historic moment for him and figure skating. But like every previous training, Yuzuru Hanyu challenged 4A again and fell down again. In the end, Yuzuru Hanyu's free skating score was 188.06 points, with a total score of 283.21 points, and missed the medal.
In the end, American player Chen Wei won the gold medal with extremely stable performance. Japanese players Kanyama Yuma and Uono Masama won silver and bronze medals, while Chinese players Kimboyang ranked 9th.

Although he fell down, "but I tried my best."
completed the movement and ended elegantly. When leaving the field, Yuzuru Hanyu grabbed a handful of broken ice from the sidelines and placed it on his forehead. For 27-year-old Yuzuru Hanyu, the Beijing Winter Olympics is likely to be his last Winter Olympics trip.
Yuzuru Hanyu wants to step onto the Winter Olympics podium for the third time, you can try quadruple jumping conservatively. In terms of grades, Yuzuru Hanyu and Masamo Uno who won the bronze medal were only less than 10 points away, which is the difference between the four-week jump score.
But Yuzuru Hanyu did not do this. He chose to challenge history, just like Asada Maho that challenged 3A at the Sochi Winter Olympics 8 years ago. On the road of human beings challenging themselves and their limits, more Asada Maho and Hanyu Yuzuru are needed. They all have the courage to go all out and make a desperate bet. For them, such a curtain call is not the most perfect, but it is the most moving.
When talking about Yuzuru Hanyu, Kim Boyang also said that he is a role model that is worth learning from. "He wants to break through 4 and a half weeks. This is a spirit that no one dares to break through. This is the spirit of sports and the spirit of Olympics." Kim Boyang said that everyone should break through a better self, and this is the charm of sports.

In a previous short program, Yuzuru Hanyu accidentally got stuck in the ice cave while completing the first jump. "I may be hated by Ice." Yuzuru Hanyu said with a smile.
Like the short program, Yuzuru Hanyu's free skating start today was still not smooth, and he fell down with two consecutive quadruple jumps. Although he failed to complete the 4A, Yuzuru Hanyu said after the game that he had already played out all of it. "This is my true mood. Despite the mistake, it is still much better than the 4A I jumped in the previous game." When an interview in the mixed-rack area after the game, Yuzuru Hanyu held an ice bag in his hand. He revealed that he was injured in training yesterday. When talking about the game, Yuzuru Hanyu said it was clear that once he made a mistake, there would be no chance, but mistakes were also part of the game. He was very happy to show this show and story to everyone.
Speaking of the persistence over the past four years, Yuzuru Hanyu said that he had been working hard, "I think I have not put in more effort than this, and it may be a hard work without reward, but I have worked hard."
"If everyone has nothing to do with the victory or defeat of the game, and for a moment, I feel that 'Yuzuru Hanyu's program is really good,' then my efforts today will be meaningful." He said.
