At the PyeongChang Winter Olympics four years ago, Liu Jiayu, who was in good shape, won the runner-up in the women's U-shaped field, which was also the first medal for the Chinese team in this event.
Cai Xuetong, who won the World Cup and many other titles in the international arena, finally ranked fifth.
After four years of preparation, the veneer "Shuangshu", which represents the highest level of Chinese women's U-shaped field, will also aim at the podium.
In the qualifying match the day before, Cai Xuetong successfully secured the final qualification with his outstanding performance in the first round of skating.
Liu Jiayu, on the other hand, withstood the pressure in the second round and ranked seventh to advance to the final after experiencing a mistake in the first round.
Looking forward to the final, the two have expressed that they will "go up the difficulty".
In today's final, Liu Jiayu got off to a bad start. He made mistakes in the first two slides and failed to complete the complete set of moves.
In the final round, she showed a relatively stable set of moves, and finally scored 73.5 points, ranking eighth.
After the game, she explained that no matter what the result is, she hopes that she can stand up to finish the game, "I want to convey that no matter what position you are in, as long as you keep believing in yourself, you will definitely stand down and enjoy the sport (the idea)."
On February 10th, Chinese player Liu Jiayu ranked eighth in the women's U-shaped field skills final of snowboarding at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics at the Yunding Ski Park in Zhangjiakou.

From practicing snowboarding in 2003, to participating in the Winter Olympics four times and winning a silver medal, Liu Jiayu said that she loves every day she is engaged in this sport, and she also said that she will continue to prepare for the next Winter Olympics, " The reason I persevere is because I believe that I can make better breakthroughs." When a reporter asked her what her next dream was, she answered firmly: "Gold medal!"
Cai Xuetong, who is also a veteran of the four dynasties of the Winter Olympics, played steadily in the first round of the final, scoring 81.25 points and once ranked in the top three.
But in the next two slides, she made different degrees of mistakes and failed to achieve new breakthroughs, and finally ranked fourth.
From the 23rd to the 4th place in the four Winter Olympics, she was only one step away from the podium. This result made her cry after the game.
"Actually, my skating state and feeling were pretty good, but my luck was a little bit worse. The last move was unsuccessful. If it succeeded, the result might be different. This made me feel a little uncomfortable," Cai Xuetong said. I wanted to do a 900-degree swivel, but unfortunately I couldn't.

When asked if she would stick to the next Winter Olympics, she said that she has not considered it yet, and she needs to digest today's competition first, "I hope everyone will pay more attention to this project, if I still have the ability to continue to challenge myself. Limit or discover my potential, I will continue."
The snowboard women's U-shaped track championship was won by the American talented girl Chloe King.
She scored 94 points in the first-round final and finally defended her title successfully.
