Why is the career of Russian female flower skaters so short?

In the short program competition of women's figure skating in Beijing Winter Olympics, Russian Olympic Committee athletes Valieva, Trousseau Eva and Cher Bakova appeared in the last group. In the end, Valieva ranked first with 82. 16 points, while Cher Bakova and terroso Eva, both members of the Russian Olympic Committee, ranked second and fourth with 80.20 points and 74.60 points respectively. Seeing the result of this competition, we have to admire the strength of Russian female skaters, which can be said to be super strong.

So why is the career of Russian female flower skaters so short?

There are a large number of female skaters in Russia, and the competition is very cruel.

Russian women's flower skating talents come forth in large numbers. It can be said that they have many excellent young athletes who can participate in various international flower skating competitions. It is said that the back wave of the Yangtze River is stronger than the front wave. Under such cruel competition, it is difficult for many old athletes to guarantee that they will not be surpassed by other athletes. The competition between them is particularly fierce. If some athletes don't play well, they are likely to be replaced by other athletes in a short time, so some athletes may not even have a chance to play. This also shows the cruelty of Russian figure skating talent selection. They don't look at how many honors you have won and how much contribution you have made to the national flower skating project. They only look at how you are now. If you can, you can continue to go up. Come down if you can't.

Russian women's flower skating skills are very high and need hard training, which is very harmful to athletes' health.

Russia has a great advantage in women's flower skating. For many years, they have been gods in this competition, which not only depends on the graceful posture of Russian female flower skaters, but also depends on their superb skills in crushing other flower skaters, which is amazing. We all know that only a little hard training can have the strength to crush others like this, which shows how hard these Russian flower skaters usually train. A few days ago, Xu won the championship, winning the first hardware of this Winter Olympics for China, and fulfilling the gold medal dream of China women's aerial skill team!

But you know what? This is the fourth time that Xu Mengyao has participated in the Olympic Games. During this period, she experienced many injuries and operations, and the medial meniscus of her left knee was removed by 70%. Flower skating will bring some irreparable injuries to knees and legs during training. Russian flower skaters will naturally suffer physical pain, because long-term training will definitely make their joints worse and worse, which is also the reason for their short career.
