Why is Yuzuru Hanyu so fairy? Half of his clothes are feathers

The men's singles figure skating competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics has ended. American athlete Chen Wei won the championship, Japanese athlete Hanyu Yuzuru won fourth place, and Chinese athlete Jin Boyang ranked ninth.

As the favorite to win the championship, Yuzuru Hanyu challenged the most difficult move in this Winter Olympics figure skating event, 4A (quadruple and a half Axel).

The 4A is the only quadruple jump among the six basic figure skating jumps that has not been conquered by any athlete in competition. In Hanyu's own words, the difficulty is "like a long jumper, who jumps 6 meters and turns 4 and a half times in the process". This is also the first time that the 4A has appeared in the Winter Olympics.

When Yuzuru Hanyu was jumping the 4A, the opening 4A rotation was insufficient and he fell when landing, so he did not complete the first complete 4A jump in history in an official competition.

As the "elf on ice", Yuzuru Hanyu has presented us with many delicate and shocking performances.

Since he often wears blue competition uniforms, fans often say that he is the player who is most suitable to wear blue.

Feathers and tassels also enhance his performance.

But if we go back to the time when figure skating was born, the athletes at that time did not wear the close-fitting and gorgeous competition uniforms like today, but wore tuxedos and thick long skirts...
