A Japanese figure skating person said: "When Hanyu is a contestant, he is also a process of fighting against scoring. There have been several changes in the scoring rules, and the outside world also thinks that he is bullying Hanyu. In an interview with Tokyo TV , Hanyu questioned the scoring system, and some fans even speculated that this is the reason Hanyu became a professional contestant."
For figure skating score, Japanese media wrote: "The scoring of figure skating is composed of technology and performance components. Jump and pace belong to the former, and performance components belong to the latter, while performance components include 5 Part. In the 2015 Figure Skating Grand Prix Finals, Yuzuru Hanyu scored 49.14 points in the performance of a short program, which is a nearly full score, but this high score was also the beginning of Hanyu's pain. After all, there is a limit to the performance score. Hanyu, who almost got full scores in a short program, felt the bottleneck. "
Yuzuru Hanyu said in an interview: "My artistic expression is better than before, but his score has not improved, so he is confused." Theoretically, the higher the jump difficulty, the higher the score. After defending his title in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Hanyu announced that he would challenge the unprecedented four-week and half jump, but Japanese media said that at this time the scoring rules changed again, "Jumping four-week selection The hands are increasing, and after reducing the technical score of the jump, if the four-and-a-half jump is not successful, the score will decrease. "
Japanese media also stood up for Hanyu. "What is strange is that the change in the rules is when Hanyu announced the challenge of four-and-a-half jump, setting the basic score based on the difficulty of the technology, and adding the completion score. In terms of jumps, the referee judged the height, distance, takeoff and ice falling, and decided to complete the score. The completion score will be modified every season, which put Hanyu in a final dilemma. "
Regarding the changes in the rules, Yuzuru Hanyu expressed his dissatisfaction with the Tokyo TV station, "To be honest, when I worked harder, I became more Excellent, when I participated in the next game, my score did not improve at all. I just thought why should I do it? "

"After the Beijing Winter Olympics accepted, the whole world paid attention to Hanyu's trends, but decisive changes occurred. International Skating Union held a meeting resolution to reduce and merge the five scores in performance into three, and the reduction was exactly what Hanyu was best at, which caused controversy. One month after the rule was issued, Hanyu announced that he would become a professional player. "
International Skating Union deleted transitions /Connection and interpretation of the music /Music interpretation. In the eyes of the Japanese media, it was the IS Skating Union's new regulations that prompted Hanyu to make up his mind to leave. Yuzuru Hanyu also said in an interview: "Is someone forcing me to retire earlier? For a while, I was thinking, are you no longer needed? ”
Regarding Hanyu's situation at that time, Japanese media said: "Many figure skating experts believe that Hanyu's jump completion was too low, and Hanyu did not leave a good impression on the referee team, and he was awarded a low score. ”
