(Beijing Winter Olympics) Russia's figure skating "Matryoshka" performed well, China's "Xiaohua" missed the cut
China News Agency, Beijing, February 15 (Reporter Zhang Su) The women's single skating short program competition in the Beijing Winter Olympics was held on the evening of the 15th.
Unsurprisingly, the Russian Olympic team's Kamila Valieva led the short program with 82.16 points.
The "genius girl" who has recently been caught in a doping scandal and is under the age of 16 has a gap between her performance and her perfect performance in the team competition, with a score difference of as much as 8.02 points.
However, she is still slightly ahead of her teammates Ana Shcherbakova (80.20) and Alexandra Trusova (74.60).

Japanese player Sakamoto Hanori was the last to play that night.
In the soundtrack of the movie "Gladiator", she jumped powerfully and slid steadily. Not only did she set a personal best score in the short program with a score of 79.84, but also broke the monopoly of the Russian Olympic team's "Matryoshka" on the top three.
She is currently ranked 3rd.
The figure skating women's single free skating competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics will be held on the 17th.
At that time, the top 25 players in the short program will compete on the ice rink.
Chinese player Zhu Yi scored 53.44 points in the short program, ranking 27th among all 30 players, and stopped there.
Compared with the short program of the team competition, major mistakes such as falling and jumping occurred one after another. Although today's Zhu Yi said that the triple jump on the back of the ice at the opening failed to make consecutive jumps, she made the third jump again. Jumping to make up, being praised is a kind of progress.
Zhu Yi revealed that her performance in the past two days was average, and she knew that the first jump was most likely to have problems.
But after completing this action, she kept thinking of "letting go" and "enjoy the game", and smiled and said to herself "just slide down".

Zhu Yi admitted that she was very dissatisfied with herself after the team competition, "very sad and a little ashamed".
The support and encouragement from teammates, coaches, parents, and countless others helped her get back on track.
Zhu Yi, who was born and raised in the United States, tried his best to give interviews in inauthentic Chinese.
Talking about how to reduce stress on this day, she said, "Drawing to relax yourself."
When the reporter asked what to paint, Zhu Yi answered seriously, "I especially like to paint 'sky and sky' things."
After figuring out that the correct expression was "sky", she covered her face shyly and kept smiling.
Zhu Yi also said that at present, there is still a certain gap between China's women's singles skating and the world's top level, but including her, many players want to perform better on the field, and they all want to win glory for the motherland again.
