She once said that she would "magnify moves" in the finals. After experiencing the first two gliding mistakes today, she chose to use a more secure set of moves to end her entire journey in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
This is not the result expected by the outside world, and it also does not meet Liu Jiayu's expectations for himself.
In November last year, she completed the high-difficulty double crippler (double crippler) during training, becoming the first snowboarder in China and the third in the world to complete this action.
Just a few days before the start of the women's U-shaped pool, Liu Jiayu once again unlocked the reverse version of this action.
On February 9, the 2022 Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics women's snowboard U-shaped field skills qualifying competition was held at Zhangjiakou Yunding Ski Park. Chinese player Liu Jiayu ranked seventh and advanced to the final.

In the four years from the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics to the Beijing Winter Olympics, her breakthroughs abound.
On the final road leading to the Genting Ski Park, she kept moving forward, and there was no trace of erosion by years and injuries.
Showing super-difficult moves and the honor of standing on the podium again, especially after the qualifying round, Liu Jiayu's spirit of "not fighting at this time, waiting for a while" made all expectations for her for the first time today. Reached the peak when standing on the starting podium of the final.

However, under a lot of attention, Liu Jiayu fell to the pool wall when he landed in the first round of jumping, and lost his center of gravity when changing direction in the second round.
At the end of the two skating, the runner-up of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics only ranked 12th, ranking at the bottom of all competitors.
Will there be a "big move"?
Fight hard or finish the race?
Liu Jiayu, who stood on the starting platform for the third time, gave his answer.
There is no double crippler, no double cork 1080 (1080 degrees off-axis rotation), she chooses to enjoy skiing in half a minute, enjoy the feeling of doing well in the moment, and also strengthen her determination to fight for another four years.
After the game, she explained that no matter what the result was, she hoped that she could finish the game standing up, conveying the idea that as long as she believes in herself no matter what, she will definitely succeed.
In fact, if you disassemble the whole set of moves, it is not difficult to find that Liu Jiayu still made a front-end flip body that rarely appears in the men's arena at the end.
This seemingly "easter egg" arrangement is the explanation she left to this arena, and it is also an expression of never admit defeat.
Just like her in the last picture of the TV broadcast, she still had her iconic smile on her face.
In the process of waiting for Liu Jiayu, they walked through the mixed mining area with excited or depressed faces, but without exception, they were young and full of vigor.
Snowboarding, a sport that originated from young people, has been punctuated by competitions since the birth of the American "genius girl" Chloe King, and new stars are constantly emerging.

Twelve years ago, foreign media also called Liu Jiayu, who appeared in the Winter Olympics for the first time, as a "genius girl".
From Vancouver to Beijing, she overcame obstacles and lit a spark.
Liu Jiayu's growth story is the epitome of China's veneer from weak to strong, becoming a world-class level; her performance of challenging herself today and the struggle of her entire career are also a portrayal of China's veneer constantly surpassing its limits.
She enjoys every start and slide, every flight and flip, and she accepts falls and losses with ease.
She said that from Pyeongchang to Beijing, she has developed a lot of new moves, which is an improvement and a breakthrough. "I have not only broken through myself, but also broken through the sport of the women's veneer U-shaped pool."
Among the 12 finalists of the Beijing Winter Olympics, 7 are "post-00s".
For Liu Jiayu, who is about to turn 30 years old, the competition in the next four years will only be more intense and cruel, but she said, "I still have a dream to fulfill."
On February 9, Chinese players Liu Jiayu, Cai Xuetong and Qiu Leng successfully advanced to the final in the Women's U-shaped Field Skills Qualifying Tournament for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Liu Jiayu and Cai Xuetong, who are also veterans of the four dynasties of the Winter Olympics, are both the favorites to win the event.

"I found the best coach in the world, and he gave me more room for imagination; I have a very good therapist, my body has always been very healthy, and everything is developing in a good direction." Liu Jiayu excitedly said that she has Everything brings him closer to the end of his dream - "Gold Medal".
In a sound of "come on", Liu Jiayu left the Beijing Winter Olympics arena.
Behind her, the Chinese team staff silently put away the flag that had been prepared earlier.
Starting again, she will also work hard to fulfill the promise made today.
