How to evaluate the performance of Japanese figure skater Yuzuru Hanyu in Beijing Winter Olympics?

In my opinion, although Yuzuru Hanyu failed to win three consecutive championships in the 2022 Winter Olympics. But in the hearts of fans, Yuzuru Hanyu has successfully stood on the slippery ground. As the first figure skater in the world, Yuzuru Hanyu has achieved enough. In fact, for Yuzuru Hanyu, after successfully defending his title in PyeongChang Winter Olympics, his goal is only "4A". Yuzuru Hanyu's persistence in "4A" is the only goal that motivates him to stick to it.

Yuzuru Hanyu, as a dark horse, broke through 100 short programs in the Winter Olympics in Sochi, and won the championship with absolute strength, defeating Chen Weiqun and Gao Qiao, the two favorites at that time. Thus opening the era of Yuzuru Hanyu. The PyeongChang Winter Olympics defeated many masters such as Nathan Chen and Jin Boyang, and the short program broke 1 10. Although there are some flaws in free skating, it does not affect the final defending. Although he didn't win three consecutive championships in Beijing Winter Olympics, he became the first player to challenge "4A" in the Olympic Games.

In fact, Yuzuru Hanyu didn't have no chance to win the championship, but as Yuzuru Hanyu accidentally stepped into an ice pit in the short program, the results of the short program were not ideal. If Yuzuru Hanyu doesn't insist on "4A" in the final freestyle, it will be difficult to win the championship, but it is no problem to stand on the podium. But how can Yuzuru Hanyu make such a compromise?

As the only defending champion of men's single skating in 66 years, Yuzuru Hanyu has become a legend. In fact, the flower slip is not as beautiful as we remember. Behind the aestheticism of figure skating is countless injuries. When figure skaters jump around and land, the impact on their bodies is equivalent to ten times their own weight. In the long run, high-intensity training has caused irreversible damage to athletes' hip joints, knee joints and other joints to varying degrees. In the history of the world, the peak of men's singles is generally around 2 1-23 years old. So we are very lucky to see Yuzuru Hanyu three times in the Winter Olympics. I hope Yuzuru Hanyu will have better development in the future and open a new chapter in life.
