December 7th is the birthday of Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu. If one word can describe this athlete, I think he should be the creator of miracles.
He is the first Asian to win the Olympic gold medal in figure skating men's singles. At the age of 19, he achieved the Grand Slam of the Olympic Games, World Championships and Grand Prix finals, and was the first in history to win four consecutive Grand Prix finals. What's even more powerful is that he broke the world record 12 times and is the world record holder for all men's singles in figure skating. Yuzuru Hanyu is known for his super jumping ability, excellent flexibility and varied performances, coupled with his gentle brows and clear eyes, he has become the "Prince on Ice" that explodes the world.
At the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, there was such a male figure skating athlete. With a beautiful "Onmyoji", he showed skill and strong artistic appeal, becoming the first in 66 years. The figure skater who won the men's singles championship at the Winter Olympics.
The soundtrack for the Pyeongchang Olympic figure skating performance "Onmyoji" was compiled by Hanyu 3 years ago. It is really rare for the players to arrange the music themselves. Hanyu selected music from the film score of the same name, and then combined them into a complete program. At the beginning of the song, he also recorded breathing for about one second, so that he could adjust his breathing and calm down during the game. In his opinion, if jumping, spinning, and footwork can't match the music, it is meaningless, so it must be able to match the music. This is also an extreme requirement for his performance. In order to improve the expressiveness of this program, Yuzuru Hanyu also went to learn from the protagonist of the movie and Japanese Kyogen master Nomura Mansai. But even a genius, without any real energy, can hardly become a leader. At the Winter Olympics, his quotes were repeatedly said: efforts will lie, but efforts will not be wasted.
in the 2014 Shanghai "China Cup", Yuzuru Hanyu's bravery was remembered by more people. At that time, the players were preparing for the final pre-match practice, the staff opened the door of the ice rink and Hanyu slipped in. As usual, after he successfully performed a few basic moves, he was ready to do big jump exercises. However, just as he was about to turn around, unsuspectingly, he violently collided with Chinese player Yan Han, and he flew out instantly. After
was assisted and checked, he was injured in 7 places, his abdomen was injured, his thigh muscle was torn, and his right ankle was sprained. While doing hemostasis and bandaging, he kept asking about Yan Han's situation, and after confirming that Yan Han was safe, he returned to the court with a bandage on his head. Perceiving a rapid decline in physical strength, he who insisted on playing suddenly cried, but hurriedly wiped away tears before turning around. He took a sip of water, his eyes grew more determined, and when he returned to the ice, he let out a low growl: "Jump!"
He clearly felt his leg hurts so much that he couldn't stand still. He knew that he would fall if he jumped on the surrounding ice. . In just four and a half minutes and 8 jumps, he fell 5 times. Falling down again and again, climbing up again and again. With the tune of "Blood Phantom", Hanyu completed the performance while falling and jumping, firm and tragic.
for the last time, he has been very difficult to get up, at the end he was helped off the field, almost unconsciously leaning on the coach. Even so, he still won a silver medal by strength. Because of the abdominal injury caused by the impact, Hanyu was later diagnosed with a remnant urachus. People who have suffered from this disease describe: "The pain is so fast that it faints, like a sharp blade pierced into the abdomen." Hanyu wrapped several layers of gauze to prevent pus and blood from leaking out of his clothes, and insisted on setting foot on the ice rink. It is hard to imagine how much willpower he used and how much pain he endured playing the game.
CCTV commentary Chen Ying said: "Every action and every game he makes is to compare with all-out mentality. Before the end, his look reminds me of cherry blossoms. Before the cherry blossoms bloom, I have to hold them. Withered determination. "Z1z
None of us know how many unforgettable performances and surprises he can bring us. For an athlete, four years are never short. Perhaps Yuzuru Hanyu retired after the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, but none of us can forget this 19-time world record, the first figure skating grand slam king on ice. In the fast-changing sports world, there will always be more young people emerging, and an era will always pass, but so what? He is now 26 years old and still loves his figure skating and is working hard for it.
