There is no doubt that the famous Japanese star Yuzuru Hanyu is the most popular overseas athlete at this Winter Olympics. His every move has attracted the attention of the outside world, especially his decision to challenge 4A (Axel quadruple jump).
In the figure skating men's single free skating competition held on the 10th, the result of Hanyu Yuzuru's challenge was not satisfactory.
Talking about why he insisted on choosing 4A after the game, Yuzuru Hanyu said frankly, "If I don't do 4A, I can choose a better combination. But that (trying 4A) is my pride."
Do your best to challenge the unknown limit.
Who wouldn't applaud such a player?

29-year-old Maltese female athlete Janice Spitai impressed in the snowboard women's U-shaped track qualifying event on the 9th.
When she returned to the waiting area after the first round, she looked at the camera and took out half a bean bag...
"I love bean buns, they taste great." Janice Spitai made no secret of her love for bean buns in a post-match interview.
"I eat 6 bean buns a day, 2 for breakfast, 2 for dinner, and 2 for lunch. I was too nervous to eat this morning, so I packed the bean bag into the bag. I still have bean buns in my pocket, After the first round of movements, I can finally have a bite.”
A mistake in the first round made Janice Spitey "great frustration", but she quickly adjusted her mentality, so there was an interesting scene like eating bean buns.

When other commentators tried to distinguish who came first, Wang Meng said decisively: "Win! Win! Don't need to watch the replay! My eyes are rulers!"
The eyes of the Olympic champion are exactly the same.
