How about objectively analyzing the significance of figure skating? Do you know enough about flower slip?

I think flower skating is a difficult and high-intensity sport, which requires high accuracy. It is misunderstood because of its artistic appearance. Technically, the actual requirements for athletes are far greater than gymnastics and diving, and the actual flower skating is hundreds of times more difficult than what the audience sees.

It is not a sports event where artistry is greater than technology. As Yuzuru Hanyu said, artistry is based on perfect technology. We can feel the beauty of flower sliding, smooth sliding, jumping with difficult connection sliding, beautiful aerial posture and high-distance jumping with great visual impact, complicated choreography and gait, and high-speed hierarchical rotation with amazing human flexibility, all of which require athletes to have a strong and stable jumping and sliding foundation as support.

The essence of flower slip lies in the balance between strength and beauty, which is vividly displayed in Yusheng's program, and Fernandez has done a great job. But unfortunately, many men's singles and women's singles now pay more attention to the difficulty of jumping, such as Nathan Chen and Jin Boyang (but he can't recite this pot by himself, and I think China's flower skating team is really bad and the choreography is unreasonable). Take Nathan Chen as an example. He is the person who completed six jumps in Pyeongchang freestyle. He gave me the impression that he jumped a lot, but I don't know where he showed it-he just jumped.

Figure skating, in my opinion, is a difficult beauty. Jumping, rotating and sliding make up a complete story in the program. Figure skaters seem to bring the advantages of human limbs to the extreme-flexibility, endurance, speed, explosive force when taking off, sense of balance, temperament and expression when performing-not only technology or art, but also the two complement each other. Difficult technology helps to express emotions, and good appeal makes technology more difficult.

I suddenly remembered Mao Asada's words, "I don't want to beat anyone with 3A, I just want to bring a perfect performance that can make the audience hold their breath." She did it. On 14, Sochi's free sliding and pulling off, the interweaving of strength and beauty, the peak of movement difficulty and the mutual penetration of emotional expression, these factors * * * created brilliant performance. Flower slip is a visual feast, and it is a shocking and tearful beauty.

So skating is a very elegant sport.
