On the 8th, Chinese player Jin Boyang took the fifth place in the men's single skating short program competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
In a very traditional Chinese-style soundtrack, he slides, spins, and jumps in a water-blue competition suit.
People were immersed in his performance until the music stopped and the action stopped, the camera freezes on him, and the audience cheered.
Jin Boyang couldn't hold back any longer, he bent down, covered his face with his hands and wept, but he didn't recover for a long time.
Jin Boyang, who once set the best record in the history of China's men's single skating Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, returned with his iconic moves.

In this game, he perfectly reproduced the "three consecutive jumps on the ice after hooking all around the corner".
This action, which belongs to the highest level of difficulty in men's single skating in the world today, was both pioneered by him and his "touchstone".
Jin Boyang, who was in poor condition during the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle, has rarely completed this "signature move" with high quality in competitions.
A few days ago, in the men's singles short program competition in the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating team competition, it was also on this ice rink that Jin Boyang fell during the jump.
But today, he feels that doing this action is easier than ever before. "It's like someone is holding you and spinning in the air, which is less force than I need when I'm at my best."
Not only the action, Jin Boyang also brought back to Beijing the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" that was performed in Pyeongchang four years ago.
The two selections of this short program are also from this well-known martial arts movie at home and abroad, but the styles are very different.
However, whether it is to show his skills in the fast-paced "Night Fight", or to convey his feelings in the melodious "Eternal Oath", the "young warrior" Jin Boyang has already been integrated with the story.

Because for him, this is not just a short program, but himself.
There are not only family and country feelings here, but also condensed bits and pieces of his past.
He slid across the ice rink, and every frame of the past slid through his heart.
Jin Boyang, who has always only shown people with a happy smile, is so embarrassed.
Wiping away his tears, he confided.
"I am a person who leaves happiness to others and sadness to myself." He said that he was careless in front of the camera, and his personality was somewhat submissive in reality.
Usually alone in the room, it is also more EMO (Internet term, referring to negative emotions such as "depression" and "decadence").
Jin Boyang confesses himself so frankly as he accepts failure frankly.
As the only player on the Chinese figure skating team to participate in the men's singles event, the pressure on Jin Boyang can be imagined when he has to "full attendance" for 4 games in the team and individual competitions, and he has to "take the lead" for his teammates.
In preparation for the Winter Olympics held on his doorstep, he trained twice as much as the previous cycle.
I still eat a lot, but my weight is 10 pounds lighter.
For the first time at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the "first show" was not satisfactory.
However, Jin Boyang can quickly adjust after a fall, or successfully complete other technical actions, or temporarily "save the field" to make up for the loss of points, and his performance in each game is remarkable.
Supporting all of this, as Jin Boyang said, "learned to accept his own failures".
In the past, he "just wanted to do it, no matter what, whether it was diagonal or horizontal".
Faced with failure now, what he thinks is the "next action", "doing each step step by step".
Treat success or failure, be more lenient than oneself and more lenient than others.
The poor performance of the female players on the same team almost prevented the entire team from advancing to the second stage of the team competition. Jin Boyang’s idea was very simple, “I’ll be ready, if I enter the free skating, I will participate; if I don’t make it, I will participate in the afternoon. training".
He also kept comforting and encouraging his teammates.
As for the "referee pressing the score", Jin Boyang said that it was actually because he still had some minor mistakes, which not only affected a single action, but also affected the effect of the whole set of actions.
You can only get all the extra points if you slide clean yourself.
After the short program competition ended on the 8th, Jin Boyang temporarily ranked 11th.
The free skating competition will be held on the 10th, and his competitors include two-time Winter Olympic champions and three-time World Championship champions.
Whether it is age, technology or experience, Jin Boyang is not dominant.
Jin Boyang, who has never shy about taking the Winter Olympics medals as his goal, is no longer the teenager who was so nervous that he had "tears in his eyes" when he was preparing for the preparations four years ago.
He said that he just wanted to enjoy the Winter Olympics held on his doorstep, and then leave his best performance on the field.
Outside of the competition, when faced with questions such as "Where's the 'bing dung dun' you held in your hand before?", "what 'label' would you put on yourself", etc., Jin Boyang is also always ready to answer any questions, and his witty words are frequent, often Attracted laughter from the interview area.
Some questions can't be answered at the moment, "I'll think about it again, the day after tomorrow," he laughed.
He didn't just come back.
Standing in front of people is a better Jin Boyang.
