Lagerstroemia speciosa in Yuzuru Hanyu

With the relay of the Olympic flame, the countdown to 100 day oath is all about the approach of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.

The skating rink competition is no less than the summer games, and the injuries of its players are much higher than those of the summer games. But despite this, the world of ice and snow still makes countless people yearn for it.

Like the Summer Olympics, there are many kinds of events in the Winter Olympics, such as short track speed skating, curling, skiing and ice hockey.

Among them, figure skating is nicknamed "the ceiling of sports value", such as China's "Flame" Chen Hongyi and Russian "Huangpu" plushenko.

Figure skating, referred to as flower skating, can also be understood as ice dancing. Athletes need to wear special clothes and skates, perform a complete dance on the ice, combine the selected songs and technical movements, and then the referee will make a comprehensive score through the quality and artistic performance of the movements, and the highest score will win.

In the history of flower skating, two athletes have to mention it. One is the Japanese player Yuzuru Hanyu, who is called the "absolute king", and the other is the Korean player Jin Yaner, who is called the "Queen of Figure Skating".

Both of them are post-90s, and they are both extremely talented and hardworking players. Although it belongs to a school, it staged a story that the king did not see the king, and there was basically no communication in public.

People admire them because they broke the monopoly position of Hua Slip in Europe (Hua Slip originated in Europe, especially Russia has always had an exclusive advantage, so before them, Asian players basically had no advantage in Hua Slip).

What's more, one of them experienced a natural disaster, defeated his asthma and made a legend, while the other made a brilliant achievement in a country with wet desert and bad public opinion. Moreover, their excellent artistic expression and excellent jumping quality have left them countless classic stages.

They are kings, they are not treated as kings, but they challenge themselves and win the glory that belongs to the king.

1.

Count the honors they have won first, and then understand their history.

Some ice fans describe Jin Yaner like this: Before she appeared, all the women's singles players who won the world championships could be called the Queen of Flower Slipping, but after Jin Yaner appeared, no one was called the Queen of Flower Slipping anymore, because she was the real Queen of Flower Slipping.

Jin Yaner is a famous Korean female single skater. The correct English spelling of her name should be: Kim Yeon-A, because of an official's mistake in passport processing, fans also called her Yu Na.

Although she has retired, she is the first woman's singles Grand Slam winner to win the Winter Olympics, World Championships, Grand Prix, Finals, Four Continents and World Youth Championships in the history of Korean flower skating, and the first woman's singles player who has never left the podium in all competitions in her career.

At the same time, as a rare all-around player who can successfully control different music types, she constantly refreshed the history of figure skating on the ice rink with first-class technical difficulty and artistic expression, and created an era of figure skating belonging to her.

Her free skate piece Gershwin's piano concerto in F major at Vancouver Winter Olympics even surpassed the original world record 18 with a high score of 228.56, and was recorded in Guinness World Records.

At the 20 13 World Flower Skating Championships, the total score of her free skating Les Miserables was 2 18.3 1, which was 20 points higher than the second place, creating the biggest difference record in the World Championships since the implementation of the new scoring rules.

She once gave fans two new programs, a long one (Arirang for the Motherland) and a short one (Ballet Giselle). The wonderful arrangement and interpretation of long programs was once praised by ice fans as a classic program named after Jin Yaner.

Yuzuru Hanyu, because of his pronunciation, everyone loves to call him grapefruit, Niuniu and Haniu, and he is also affectionately praised by fans as "the prince flying out of the comic book world". He is the favorite to win the men's singles skating, because you never know what kind of surprise he will bring every time he appears.

In the words of CCTV commentator Chen Ying, his flower-sliding performance is: "The face is as jade, the shape is as loose, and it is as shocking as Youlong." "Fortunately, you know the peach blossom face, and it is as warm as spring."

He is a Japanese figure skater, the first Asian men's singles champion in the Winter Olympics, the first figure skater to win the men's singles champion in the Winter Olympics in 66 years, and the first person in the history of figure skating to win the gold medal in the men's singles event in the Olympic Games, the World Championships, the Grand Prix Finals, the Four Continents Championships, the World Youth Championship and the Youth Group Finals.

He also holds the world record of short program 1 12.72, free skating 223.20 and total score of 330.43. *** 19 times broke the world record, and most of them were broken by himself. He is also the first person to jump around the outer ring after completing the international competition recognized by the International Skating Federation.

There is also the legendary half. At the 20 17 World Championships, the grapefruit short program lost, but it miraculously counterattacked the free skating, setting a world record of sealed free skating in the GOE 3 era with 223.20 points. CBC explains it this way: What happens when you complete a program without errors is called "that great moment".

At the same time, he also set a world record for the youngest and oldest.

Seeing this, someone raised a question: How did Korea and Japan train them so well? Hey! Don't worry, it's not too late to draw a conclusion after watching their flower slip experience.

Jin Yaner was born in Fuchuan, South Korea on September 5, 1990, and moved to Pu Jun. Her father went bankrupt when she was very young, and the family's economic conditions have been very poor. At the age of seven, she and her sister went to an ice rink not far from home, and then began to contact skating. Later, because of her idol, China athlete Michelle Kwan, she learned figure skating.

/kloc-at the age of 0/2, You Na was unbeatable in Korea (all five kinds of triple jump had been completed at that time). 13-year-old You Na won the Trigraf Grand Prix in international competitions for the first time, 14-year-old became the youngest member of the national team, and then won the Hungarian Youth Grand Prix, creating the best result in Korean flower skating history.

But before her, it is no exaggeration to say that Korea is a barren land in the world of flower skating.

Because there were no outstanding figure skaters in Korea before, there was no skating rink for professional figure skaters. Korean Ice Association only cares about short track speed skating, and figure skating needs training, so they can only use their venues after short track speed skating training.

Therefore, before 2008, Yu Na must go out to find clubs for training, because clubs are purely commercial skating rinks open to the public. And in many cases, you can only choose early morning training, because at this time there are fewer people on the ice rink and the training venue is relatively open. But in winter, the club has no heating facilities and it is very cold.

Until later, even though she became a world-class athlete, her condition didn't improve much. She still has to train with people in this public skating rink and be photographed by various flashlights.

As we all know, ordinary people learning dance is an investment that burns money, especially in ice dancing.

The queen had been training at her own expense until she was sponsored. She went abroad to find her own coach, choreographer, skater and costume.

You Na actually signed a contract with an economic company. I think this is a good start. After all, finding a sponsor can temporarily alleviate the economic pressure, but the queen was squeezed by the company.

At that time, the Queen had won the Grand Prix Finals and the third place in the World Championships. Supposedly, getting sponsorship is not a problem, but IMG has driven away many advertisers at a high price. In desperation, Yu Na had to leave contact information on her personal blog, only to know that the National Bank wanted to be her guarantor, but it was rejected by the company.

The angry queen left the company, but IMG sued and threatened her.

In addition, in 20 17, IMG Hyundai Camoy performed on ice in South Korea, and IMG threatened Yu Na to cancel the lawsuit against her if she participated in the performance. As a result, the performance was forced to be cancelled due to a sudden fire.

The audience from abroad protested with the contestants, but IMG forced Yu Na of 16 to apologize on the grounds of litigation.

As a result, Yu Na, who was only 16 years old, appeared at the press conference and apologized. An American ice fan saw this scene and said angrily that a group of adults imposed their mistakes on a little girl. In the end, it went away.

Until Yu Na wins the lawsuit and leaves IMG completely, she will still be suppressed and rejected by IMG.

The early Queen's skates basically didn't fit, and because of the high intensity of practice, they would be seriously damaged in a short time. Later, it will be replaced in less than a week, but the price of a pair of skates at that time was $65,438+0,200. During this period, she also encountered the economic crisis in South Korea and the continuous devaluation of the currency, which made the situation in Yu Na even worse.

Her mother tried to repair it, but there was no place to repair skates in Korea, even though she later went to a Japanese professional flower skating shop frequented by many excellent flower skaters.

Because the family really can't afford the flower skating career of the two sisters, the sister who loves flower skating has no choice but to give up her music dream and become a doctor. My mother also gave up her job to take care of the queen and urged her to train when the coach was away.

Under multiple pressures, Yu Na and his mother wanted to give up flower skating, but at this time, the skates were repaired and everything seemed to start all over again.

The queen is very self-disciplined and hard on herself. Her personality is very shy and introverted, and many things are hidden in her heart and digested by herself. Even the mother who is with her every day can't really understand her thoughts.

Originally, her parents' expectation was that she could make a name for herself at home and didn't want to bear too much pressure, but the Queen herself raised her goal a little bit in her mind and looked around the world.

Moreover, as a figure skater, Yu Na was born with a good figure, and there was no developmental problem in adolescence. She has a nearly perfect ratio in women's single skating: height 1.64 m, weight 47 kg, bust 84cm, waist 64cm and hip 94cm. It is no exaggeration to say that she was born for flowers.

However, the long-term training, high intensity and high difficulty, Yu Na has been scarred, especially the waist injury, which has seriously affected the competition. Coupled with the economic conditions at home, in fact, she wanted to retire several times, but her love for China still made her work hard.

In the end, she won the title of "Flower Slippery Queen".

Yuzuru Hanyu,199465438+February 7th, was born in Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, with an ordinary family and not very rich. His father is a teacher of the local public school in Sendai and serves as the vice principal. His name is "Xie Xian", which corresponds to the constellation of grapefruit (Sagittarius = Sagittarius). He hopes that the life of grapefruit will be as relaxed as a bowstring, and he can also have an awe-inspiring attitude towards life when he is nervous.

Grapefruit had asthma when he was a child, and it was difficult to breathe when he was sick, so he basically didn't go to kindergarten. In order to keep fit, he has been learning to skate with his sister since he was four years old. At first, he was impatient with skating, but after seeing her practicing figure skating hard, his interest became stronger. Since then, he has been working hard with her as his goal, and regards Russian player "Huangpu" plushenko as his idol.

Later, due to economic pressure, my sister was helpless and gave up skating at the age of 18. Since then, my mother has been supporting and accompanying grapefruit training and competitions. Later, for better training effect, she accompanied him to settle in Toronto, Canada.

In 2004, 10-year-old grapefruit won the gold medal in Group B of Japan Youth Figure Skating Championship for the first time in the national competition.

In 2009, he won the junior group championship of the FIG Grand Prix. 20 10 He became the fourth World Youth Championship champion in Japan. In 20 1 1 year, he participated in the Russian Figure Skating Grand Prix and won his first adult championship.

Although my father was the guide of grapefruit flower skating, later, because the price of the skating rink in Sendai was too high for some families to afford, my father once wanted grapefruit to give up flower skating, but my mother strongly opposed it.

In order to make grapefruit blossom smoothly, my mother made money in her spare time, and even personally sent grapefruit to Yokohama for teacher training on weekends. Later, affected by the earthquake, Sendai skating rink was forced to close, and she went around looking for a new training venue for her son.

Grapefruit is at a disadvantage in physical strength and endurance because of asthma, because when asthma attacks, his breathing is less than a quarter of that of normal people.

Therefore, he often takes medicine, acupuncture, tracheal dilation surgery, wears a mask in his daily life and practice, and even spends twice as much time training as others, just to improve his heart and lung function and make it easier to slip.

Sliding flowers and jumping around is to make the player spin once in a few seconds. Because of the high rotation of the body, the impact on the ground is actually five times the weight.

Grapefruit jumps 60 times a day, and the pressure is greater than that of ordinary players, so the injury is more serious, but grapefruit does not complain: "As long as it is done in the future, it will do."

In grapefruit's experience, we have to mention the "3 1 1" Great East Japan Earthquake in 2065438.

At that time, Sendai City, where he was located, suffered the most. He was training at the skating rink when the earthquake happened, 16 years old. Because of the sudden incident, he fled in panic wearing skates. His house was also damaged in the earthquake, so he and his family lived in a shelter for some time.

About the terrible memory of the earthquake, I have always felt guilty in my heart. He frankly thought about giving up China.

But when he thought that there were still many people to support him, he chose to stick to it, but because the Sendai skating rink was damaged and closed, he had to leave his hometown and go to Canada for training.

After returning from school, he began to participate in ice performances all over the country, on the one hand, raising funds for disaster relief, on the other hand, training. It is worth mentioning that the program of Yusheng's new season was also arranged and polished during this time.

He pays special attention to post-disaster recovery and often provides economic assistance to the affected areas, especially Sendai City. All royalties from his autobiography Cangyan 1 2 were donated to the skating rink in his hometown, expressing the hope to help the reconstruction of the Great East Japan Earthquake.

After the earthquake, there were elements about grapefruit in the program. Including the disaster relief program "Flowers Bloom", as well as the requiem of Heaven and Earth, "Flowers Turn into Flowers" and later "Spring Comes", all written for the 3 1 1 earthquake.

As an athlete, grapefruit's academic performance is actually very good He is the top student in his high school. He likes math and science best. Later, I was admitted to Waseda University in Japan as an ordinary candidate by my own efforts.

In the university, his major is the humanities communication course. On the one hand, he is interested. On the other hand, he is also trying to learn flower skating better from the perspective of human body and physics, making his warm-up and training more scientific and accurate, and making his flower skating performance better.

Before and after each competition, he will carefully take notes on his performance. Every place he should strengthen and what he did wrong will be clearly marked, and he will strive to do better in the next performance.

He has enviable talent and extraordinary efforts. This is Yuzuru Hanyu. -CCTV commentary.

As Yu Na has been training at her own expense, the coach she can get is actually not famous. The only one who is famous is Uncle, who had no disciples before teaching the Queen. Uncle Bo is famous for coaching the Queen.

It is worth mentioning that this fame only refers to his memory before being known by more people, or being awakened.

Uncle Bo, whose original name is Brian Orser, is a retired Canadian flower skater and is now a famous coach. Although he is a proper fat uncle now, you should know that when he was young, his face value and strength were not bad at all.

In Sarajevo 1984, Calgary 1988 won the silver medal in figure skating men's singles. Among them, the powerful 3A is his characteristic, so he is called "Mr. 3A".

After retiring for 20 years, he participated in the highest-level ice performance in North America, "Star on the Ice", and lived a colorful life as a professional player. It was a complete coincidence that he became a coach.

In the summer of 2006, Yu Na, then 15 years old, came to Toronto to arrange this project, while Holcer was attending a special summer technical training class. You Na took a fancy to his guidance and said, "I hope you can be my full-time coach and aim at the Vancouver Olympic Games together, so that I can jump out of 3A like Mao Asada."

Jin Yaner's desire was so strong that Holcer, who refused at first, quit ice performance in 2007 and changed his job to become a coach. In a later book, I recalled that the first consideration for becoming a coach is not "how to guide players" but "how to form a guidance team".

So there is a cricket club, which means cricket, so Chinese is called cricket club. The full name is Toronto Cricket Skating and Curling Club.

Uncle Bo has always stressed that "the gold medal is not his own", so the club has a "Brian team" system.

"Brian Team" is characterized by a unified system, and many coaches cooperate with each other. Not only based on Orser's judgment, but also respect the coach's guidance method, and professional quality is born from this. To this end, in addition to holding a joint meeting once a month, we should also hold consultations every day to ensure that everyone's goals are the same.

"By giving each coach the corresponding responsibilities, they will study hard the guiding methods with their own characteristics and study the latest trend of figure skating, so everyone is very enthusiastic."

Moreover, the team system not only has advantages on the technical level, but also is said to have greatly improved on the spiritual level. Because each coach's personality, observation and sensitivity are different, he pays attention to the players in many ways.

So grapefruit went to the Canadian cricket club for training, partly because he saw the queen's achievements. When he was a child, he said that he liked Yu Na's jumping very much. Now, the director who directed Yu Sheng and Yan Er before also said in an interview: "He idolized her! (He worships her) "

Coupled with such a training environment and team, as well as the impact of the earthquake, he strengthened his reason for wanting to come to the club for training.

"Multi-person coaches provide their own special guidance. This system is amazing. There should be a more substantial training environment different from Japan. Although I really want to stay in Sendai, I am now a bronze medal winner in the World Championships. If I want to make greater progress, I must put down my thoughts about my hometown and go to Toronto to participate in the competition. "

So, grapefruit met Oresr for the first time in the spring of 20 12, and they talked in English.

"Why did you choose me?" Orser asked him, grapefruit replied in unfamiliar English: "Because I want to train with Brian." Uncle Bo thought this answer was enough!

Then grapefruit commented on Uncle Bo: "Brian will fully and comprehensively consider the player's situation. I will not impose the way I want to take on me, but I will fully consider' what kind of player I am' and then propose a consistent guidance method. "

It is the "team Brian" system that Orser is considering, as we often say, so this is the winning point for them to eventually become the cradle of Olympic champions.

It is a pity that a country does not have crape myrtle, but it is sad that a country has crape myrtle but does not know how to cherish it!

Grapefruit and Queen are two athletes who should be regarded as national treasures, but the country behind them really oppresses them the most.

"My sister loves her country deeply, but it's a pity that Bangzi country is not worthy of her love."

In the 2006-2007 season, as the only world-class skater in Korea at that time, Yu Na suffered many waist injuries, which made him unable to participate in the domestic selection before the World Championships.

However, members of the Korean national team expressed dissatisfaction with her permission to participate in the World Championships and thought that she should also participate in the selection. Does this sound incredible? But it just happened.

Therefore, Jin Yaner, who was seriously injured, was forced to take part in the national competition that year and won the championship. After the competition, South Korea sent her a request that she must win more than two places in the World Championships.

Under the pressure and injury, Yu Na set a new world record for the first time in the short program of the 2007 World Championships. However, due to lack of physical strength, she fell in the subsequent free skating and finally ranked third, but still won two places for South Korea to participate in next season's competition.

But even so, as mentioned above, due to the oppression of the company, Yu Na still needs to continue to pay for himself. However, after retiring and being reborn in the cricket club, she still stood on the ice rink with a smile, just for her dream: winning the gold medal in Vancouver, because she only needs this gold medal in the Winter Olympics.

"If I fail, the whole country will betray me."

The Queen of Vancouver Winter Olympics is competing under the pressure of the whole country. Because South Korea has never slipped a gold medal in the Winter Olympics, both the government and the people are extremely eager for her to win the gold medal back.

At that time, there was a saying that if Jin Yaner lost Vancouver, all the sponsors would abandon her. On the day of her game, the Korean stock market stagnated for half an hour.

Besides, there are not only her desire for gold medals, but also challenges from her biggest competitor, Mao Asada, so you can't imagine how much pressure Yu Na is under, let alone what will happen if she doesn't win the championship.

As we all know, Yu Na broke the record of the highest score in women's singles of the International Skating Federation held by her at that time with 228.56 points, won the gold medal and beat Mao Asada.

Her gold medal is Korea's first figure skating gold medal in the history of the Winter Olympics and the first women's singles champion in the history of the centennial Olympic Games. Jin Yaner filled the gap in figure skating in South Korea at that time.

"In the world of ice and snow casting, she has a pious expression and went to a lonely war. In the cheers of everyone and the crowded crowd, she is the firmest and softest flower on the ice. "

Later, Arirang, a tribute to South Korea, was when her waist was seriously injured, and her spine was 3.8mm sideways. It's a pity that she tried. Although she left a deep impression on countless audiences, the gold medal was still won by Japanese player Miki Ando, who only won the silver medal.

However, she was not spared in South Korea. Without congratulations, it was a cold "hard work" at most.

According to Yu Na's autobiography, this game gives her the feeling of "grasping the gap between the second and the first, and treating it like the first and the last".

That is, the queen, who has always been strong, cried on the podium. My patriotic blood is nothing in front of the gold medal.

Just like when Liu Xiang lost the race because of a foot injury and kissed the track reluctantly after the race, he was still lashed out at by the Internet for many years. Although he said he didn't regret it, he still wanted to go back to the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, even though we apologized to him this year.

After that game, Yu Na donated every penny of the runner-up prize to the Great East Japan Earthquake.

Later, the gold medal of the Queen of Sochi Winter Olympics was hacked. At that time, she had a serious waist injury and a right ankle injury, so she had to have an operation and an injection to relieve the pain. But her performance was perfect, but it was the home of Russia, and the champion was given to their own poor player Stonikova.

Even if the gold medal came from the water, she was not embarrassed at all. She even posted a photo with the gold medal on the social platform to show off and said some bad things to Tina. This kind of behavior, Hashimoto Daihui, who won the championship with one foot this year, is afraid she didn't learn it from her? !

The smoothness of grapefruit has never been smooth.

Because Japanese flower skating is divided into factions, Yusheng has been training in Canada and does not belong to any faction. Japanese athletes basically have their own brokerage companies.

Yu Shengsheng didn't join any brokerage company after playing the Youth League, just to avoid the fighting between these factions and concentrate on improving his flower skating skills.

It is certain to be suppressed and excluded. Moreover, Hashimoto Tōru, president of the Japanese Slippery Federation and now president of the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee, has been trying to win over their local tyrant Shoma Uno. In fact, this is a fight that cannot be helped. No one can stand on the podium except the men's singles and women's singles at the World Championships in Yuzuru Hanyu.

Daisuke Takahashi has always been the biggest rival of grapefruit in the same period. Grapefruit won an award ceremony in Gao Qiao, and even was forced to suspend the live TV broadcast because of the abusive voice of Gao Qiao powder. Gao Qiao even threw a white towel on her head. Grapefruit felt for the first time at that time, as if everyone didn't want me to win the championship.

Because throwing a white towel in Japan means surrendering, if you throw it on your head, it means cursing, because white towels are usually covered on the heads of the dead. The reason why this happens is that fans think that grapefruit "the younger generation should look like the younger generation" is actually a distorted concept of the previous generation and the later generation, and South Korea also has it.

Therefore, after the senior generation, Yu is very gentle with the younger generation of the club and encourages them every time. As long as you ask, he is a little expert in heart-to-heart communication. Shoma Uno used to be his inspiration.

After the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics in Sochi in 20 14, Hashimoto Tōru's son was photographed kissing Daisuke Takahashi in public at the celebration dinner. Now you can still find that photo by searching online.

The origin of kissing is only because Hashimoto's son is a "kisser". Whatever she likes, both men and women, as long as she likes, the staff around her can start.

So grapefruit can only be the one who is hated and suppressed.

Therefore, the FISA colluded with the Japanese FISA to modify the rules only to weaken Yuzuru Hanyu's advantage, either severely scoring or significantly increasing the score, forcing grapefruit to recover from the difficult 4lz and challenge 4F, which is undoubtedly a fatal blow to his foot injury!

But if it is so easy to be hit, there will be no later glory. As the saying goes, you don't need to do anything else, you just need to trust Yuzuru Hanyu.

These two men, a king and a queen, just like an up master said: It has nothing to do with nationality, just don't want to disappoint those who work hard.

6.

Now, the queen has been committed to the promotion and construction of Korean flower skating, improving the education level and cultivating talents for the Korean sports community. She is also an international goodwill ambassador of UNICEF. She is keen on charity activities and has long supported young figure skaters. She was invited to lead a charity figure skating tour of Harvard University.

You Na is also a talented person with many amateur skills, such as singing, piano, dancing, violin and design. 20 15 12 17, and won the Korean national brand award.

Her life is getting better and better, and Korean nationals still respect her, which can be regarded as living the life they want.

As for grapefruit, the Japanese government awarded him the National Honor Award and the Purple Ribbon Medal of "Medal of Spring" successively, which was rated as one of the top ten international athletes in 20 18 by the Sports Department of Xinhua News Agency, and later the most valuable athlete in the 20 19-2020 season by the International Skating Federation.

He is about to take part in the Beijing Winter Olympics. Let's hope and wish him good grades, constantly break through himself, but at the same time, we should take care of ourselves.

7.

There is still a long way to go for the development of Huashi, and Youzi is only the person who strives for it on this road, because competitive sports itself is a process of constantly defeating themselves, overcoming injuries and then gaining new life.

In this process, there are many difficulties, and the career of athletes has always been cruel.

When plushenko started skipping, it caused a lot of controversy, but he insisted: "The next four weeks are slippery, and the movement should go forward and never go backwards."

So now, Yu Sheng has inherited and started the era around men's singles, while Russian player Anna Cher Bakova (Sasha) hopes to break the technical bottleneck, enter the era around, and even challenge for five weeks under the pressure of new rules.

This is the charm of competitive sports. Whether it is flower skating or other sports, there will always be people who will break through and bring a brand-new era, which will continue to circulate and present wonderful performances for themselves and the audience every time.
