Silver Plate of Rebirth Frostblade

"Hu-hu-"

After finishing the long crazy ice step, Xu Lingjun slowly adjusted his breathing and slid to the edge of the baffle to replenish water.

This off-season, his training methods and training content have undergone many changes. In terms of physical strength, he still retains the daily long-distance running as land training, but under the guidance of Ge Tianxing and his physical coach, he has increased the proportion of special physical strength training on ice. , especially the long-distance quick press steps, come once a day.

However, the improvement is also obvious.In the free skating that added a footwork and countless connections, Xu Lingjun was so tired after skating the complete set that he was so tired that he couldn't hold down the blade when he was doing the final spin.However, after several months of physical training, he has now reached the point where he is only a little out of breath and his legs are sore after the whole set of free skating.

In addition to the short program and free skating, Xu Lingjun has also started to practice a new level of difficulty—the four weeks of Sakhov.

Since the Sakhov jump can increase the speed of rotation by swinging the right leg upwards when taking off, theoretically the Sakhov quadruple jump is the second easiest jump after the 4t. However, due to Xu Lingjun's talent for hook jumps In fact, his 4lz came out even earlier than 4s.He is quite proficient at doing the four-hand hook now, but because being able to jump out and being able to join the show are two different things, Ge Tianxing still arranges for his disciples to start fishing on the fishing rod this off-season and try to do the four-hand hook.

"The left shoulder turned too early, and the center of gravity is wrong!" Ge Tianxing took his small notebook and yelled at Xu Lingjun who had just emptied Sakhov.Xu Lingjun climbed up and imitated the movements of tightening his arms a few times, carefully recalling the subtle muscle memory when he succeeded in 4s, and continued to practice after some adjustments.

Although addicted to love and unable to extricate himself, Ge Tianxing did not relax his requirements for Xu Lingjun at all when he was working.In two weeks, Xu Lingjun will make his debut in the adult group of the new season, and he really has to be nervous.

As the champion of the World Youth Championship this season, Xu Lingjun was assigned to two GPs.Like all Chinese men's singles players who have been promoted in the past, the first stop is CoC.Another station is assigned to TEB.This sub-station is not bad. The Cup of China and France are not back-to-back stations. There is still a week between the two games for NHK, which is enough for him to adjust and rest.

As soon as the CoC entry list came out, Ge Tianxing took it for research.According to the principle of the first three different stations of the World Championships, the boss player of this station is Lu Sledgehammer Rubenheimer, other familiar players include Italy's Rossi, Adrian's senior Zhong Feiyang, this World Youth Championship No.4, Mashenko from Ukraine, and Lianhai from China.Among all the players, Haimo's level is the best. If there is no accident, the championship is already in his pocket.

But despite this, there is no shortage of bright spots in this game-the legendary battle for the first brother in China.

In fact, as of now, Lian Hai's status as the first brother is still unshakable. Last season's National Championships, Xu Lingjun also lost to Lian Hai and won a silver medal.However, the scores of domestic competitions are too numerous to reflect the degree of reception by referees in international competitions.

Unfortunately, the 22-year-old Lian Hai belongs to the kind of athlete who is not particularly popular with international referees.His basic jumping skills are relatively solid, he has two kinds of four-way and 3a, and he has two good blades, but his gliding skills are a bit shabby. He was labeled a jumper when he was promoted to the group, and he has not been able to take it off until now.However, his psychological quality is good, and his performance is also very stable. In international competitions, he is also in a state where he can enter the top ten if he is lucky and collapses more before.

In short, it is incomparable with Xu Lingjun's wide recognition from referees in the youth group.

However, Xu Lingjun has just been promoted to the group this season, and how the referees will determine his program content points has not yet been determined.

Beijing China.

"How do you feel?" Ge Tianxing, who was standing by the side of the baffle, looked at his proud disciple with concern, and handed over the kettle with one hand and a large pack of napkins with the other.

Xu Lingjun took a few sips from the water bottle—he was standing on the public training ground of the first body for some reason, his mouth was dry, and his heart was beating much faster than before.

The intensity of competition in the adult group is much worse than that of the youth group.

Xu Lingjun set foot on the senior international arena for the first time in two lifetimes, and this is the most profound insight.

Ge Tianxing and Zhu Rui, who had competed in the international arena before coming here, had given him vaccinations, but he didn't expect that the first experience still made him a little maladjusted.

In the youth group, whether it was the backstage of the preparation or the OP six practice, the atmosphere was relatively relaxed.They can still say hello and joke with the familiar Adrian Takei.But now after being promoted to a group, it's just a public practice. The athletes are all like loaded guns. You fight for each other, and no one will let anyone else. A tense atmosphere permeates the athletes on the field.

Only Giuseppe Rossi, the big brother with the radiance of honey father's love, greeted him warmly.Lian Hai was as cool as the rumors said, nodded and walked away.As for other first-line men's singles, such as Rubenheimer... Hehehe Xu Lingjun felt that he would not pay attention to a small shrimp like himself.

But no matter how tense the atmosphere is, you have to bite the bullet.

Xu Lingjun was very cautious about the debut of the senior group, and did not dare to make too much of a big deal. When they had fun together, they honestly put together the entire short program, not only jumping, but also footwork and rotation.

Xu Lingjun, who was concentrating on the music, naturally would not have noticed that when he was doing the jumping in the second half of the program, the whispering voices among the coaches on the sidelines suddenly became a little louder, and Carol, who was standing in the center of the crowd, was even louder. It was a meaningful expression of scrutiny.

On the way back to the hotel after the party, Xu Lingjun ran into his eldest brother Rossi, and because he was an acquaintance, he chatted casually after Rossi's initiative to say hello.Rossi is a very devout believer, possessing all the qualities of kindness and friendliness. He first congratulated Xu Lingjun for winning the World Youth Championship at the end of last season, and then expressed his admiration for him.

"I saw today that you have two kinds of four weeks, and one of them is 4lz, which is really amazing." Rossi said with a shy face that did not conform to the image: "God bless, I hope you can get good grades in the future!"

"I will definitely, thank you, and wish you well." Xu Lingjun answered bluntly.

Rossi showed another bewildered and loving smile. He patted Xu Lingjun on the shoulder, said goodbye to Xu Lingjun and Ge Tianxing politely, and walked out of the elevator.

"The kid is really nice." Ge Tianxing said appreciatively.

Xu Lingjun looked at Ge Tianxing's expression of looking at other people's children, and thought about Rossi's mature face that looked exactly the same age as Ge Tianxing, and couldn't help rubbing the goose bumps on his arms.

Not only Xu Lingjun, Ge Tianxing, Zhu Rui and his team paid special attention to this competition, but the ice fans in the figure skating bar also started discussing it early.The live post was posted on the homepage three or four days in advance, and more than 500 floors had already been posted before the game even started.

[Looking forward to this site:

Sledgehammer (Hammer):

There is no suspense in lying on the crown, whether there will be a new girlfriend watching the battle?

Lian Hai:

The benefits of the water station, there is a high probability of being on the stage, will the first brother's throne be taken away by the younger brother who has just been promoted?

Pepe (Rossi):

PCS recovers, ISU finally sees the European market where rice cannot be supported by itself, calmly fights for copper, godlessu

Brother Feiyang:

Justin Zhong on the shore of Daming Lake is beautiful in jumping, spinning, and skating. However, every major competition will flop into the Arctic Ocean. His performance in the Canadian and World Championships last season seems to have recovered. I wonder if the coach has changed this season. Can save it?

00:

In the first stop of the promotion group, it is said that there will be four hooks, and the difficulty reserve of the audience is the highest.Quietly look forward to keeping five against four, referees, please start your performance.

Mashenko:

The rubber man Ukrainian brother has also been promoted. Last season, he competed consecutively in the Olympic and World Youth Championships. Wherever there is need, he can move there. However, the highest difficulty of the goose is only three and a half weeks. A new generation of soy sauce king was born. 】

The host of the live broadcast post wrote the preview of the site on the first floor of the post as usual, and attached the live broadcast link, list of selected songs, program plan composition table, link to score points and other necessary information.However, the building below was immediately turned completely in another direction.

[The group list is out, see you on skate debt, friends, let's set fire together and walk away]

【What's the situation, who will give me extra lessons】

[Did you see, the first group of 00 is playing... Damn, it can be solved with a few B-level matches]

[No, are you so brain-dead?Didn't the Ice Association have sufficient funds in the past few years, and didn't even approve a B-level competition? 】

[Maybe it's not that there is no money, or that some leaders are not good at mathematics]

【Everything is possible, think of SH, huh~】

[Fuck, please don't mention it, a certain association is really black all its life, no matter how many good seedlings it has, it can be finished]

The main dissatisfaction of ice fans lies in the order of appearance of Xu Lingjun's short program.In the Grand Prix series, the order of the short program is in reverse order according to the world rankings. Xu Lingjun's points all come from A-level events such as the Youth Group Grand Prix series and the World Youth Championship. Since his debut, he has not scored a single B-level event. , the points in that column were three zeros, and they were just squeezed out of the top six points in this station, so they could only play in the first group.The problem is that there are only two groups of players participating in the sub-station, and there is an invisible watershed in the PCS between the two groups of players.

But this trivial matter will not affect Xu Lingjun's preparations.It's not that he doesn't care about his order of appearance, but now it's a done deal, anyway, the points are unlikely to increase, so it's better to calm down a little, and a good performance will be more important than anything else.

Except for Mashenko, the players he is more familiar with will basically play in the second group. Although Rossi's performance in the youth group is not as good as Xu Lingjun, he is also Italy's men's singles number one. As a model worker, the points are naturally very considerable, enough to squeeze into the top six in a sub-station.

The next day, the sun was shining brightly, and the colorful flags fluttered at the entrance of the first body.

The third round of the Grand Prix of the new season, the China Cup, officially begins!

The author has something to say:

---------The dividing line of small science popularization has appeared-------

Physical training on ice:

According to professionals, special physical fitness on ice and physical fitness training on land should be carried out at the same time.It doesn't mean that [-] meters per day on land can guarantee sufficient physical strength after going on the ice.Long-distance fast press step is one of the basic ways to improve physical fitness on ice.

Grand Prix Series:

The Figure Skating Grand Prix series includes COR (Russia), SC (Canada), CoC (China Cup), NHK (Japan), TEB (France), and SA (USA).Arranged in chronological order, there is one race every weekend, and the earliest race usually starts at the end of October.Competitors qualify for the competition through the invitation of the event organizing committee or wild cards.Each player can participate in a maximum of two races, and the top six players in the final total points will enter the Grand Prix Finals at the end of the year and the beginning of December.If the contestant rotates continuously at two stations, it is called back-to-back station, which requires high physical strength and is a relatively bad choice of station.

In order to balance the level of each sub-station, the order of selection is based on the ranking of the previous year's World Championships.In principle, the first, second and third places will not choose the same sub-station, and the fourth, fifth and sixth places will not appear in the same sub-station.But there are exceptions, such as NHK in 2012, Daisuke Takahashi’s silver medal in the World Championships in 12, and Yuzuru Hanyu’s bronze medal, but they both participated in the NHK station at the end of the year. Consider some special arrangements.Star players generally guarantee a home stop, which is usually one of the measures taken by the national ice association in consideration of attendance.

The Cup of China is basically held in Shanghai or Beijing in turn.Generally, the first stop of China's hopeful star promotion group is the China Cup.

Class B:

Our national team doesn't know what's going on, maybe it's a lack of money?He is especially stingy about letting his own players go out to train for the B-level competition. He has suffered many losses in the rankings and does not have a long memory... In recent years, there has been a little improvement. At least some people have gone out to compete. In the early years, they didn't get a single one. brush.

Miscalculated points:

The complaint here is that SH, the seeded pair skating player of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, appeared in the penultimate group of the short program due to a miscalculation of the points by the coaching staff.This matter is too speechless, a group of professionals are not as accurate as amateur ice fans.

----------------Here is the dividing line of nagging----------------

Continuing from the previous article, today is the story of Oda Nobushiro who made the term "monkey brain" flourish.

Another Three Musketeers with some sadness is Oda Shincheng.Oda Nobunari, nicknamed Monkey, is a descendant of Oda Nobunaga.He is best known for his legendary super soft knees.The magic of the monkey's knee is that every time it falls off the ice, the supporting foot is like a spring, and it slides out very beautifully.Monkey was hailed as the star of hope in Japan when he was promoted to the senior group, and he won the NHK and 4cc championships as soon as he transferred to the adult group.Although the technical level is very good, and the battery life is obviously better than that of buttons, but Monkey has obvious shortcomings. One is the Oda (monkey brain) problem named after him. This problem first became famous in the 05-06 season. He won the championship all day and won the only ticket to the Turin Winter Olympics, but the awards have already been awarded, and his all-day championship was requested by JSF (Japan Ice Federation) to take it back—because There was a problem with the electronic system scoring. He repeated three types of three weeks, 3t, 3lo and 3lz. Although the number of times that 3lo fell as the last jump of the triple jump was more controversial, it was finally determined to be 3lo and will be repeated later. The last 3lz points are deducted.In order to show fairness and appeasement, JSF let Master Qiao go to the Olympics, and a ticket for the World Championships was given to Monkey.This matter has a long history, but it belongs to a relatively deadly history of JSF, so after a few years, it will be discussed in the figure skating post bar.

If it is said that monkey brains are not afraid, as long as they play well and make no mistakes, they will not be monkey brains, but the problem is that Brother Hou is often confused.His big game consistency is not very good, and he always loses the chain when everyone thinks he can win.First, there was the famous 10-year Winter Olympics incident where shoelaces were broken, and then he staged a full-length sleepwalking at the World Championships, which was favored by many parties. The short program danced for three weeks and had a wonderful history, and finally decisively failed to enter the free skating.Monkey also had a dark history of being caught and banned for drunk driving. All kinds of wonderful experiences were mixed together, and the best years of monkey's competitive ability were abruptly wasted.

In the Sochi season, Brother Hou's state actually recovered, and his performance was also very stable. He did not step down in the two Grand Prix of the season at that time, and finally GPF won a bronze medal.In the end, he was selected for the fourth place all day, but probably because of his history of convulsions, he has lost the trust of the Japan Ice Association. In the end, he didn't even get a place in the World Championships.He then chose to retire.Now he is active in the figure skating circle as a commentator, because of his cute personality and funny appearance, he has been loved by many people.

Monkey is a very complicated character. He is definitely a first-class talent and beautiful jade with wheel talent. He is good at jumping, sliding and spinning.However, his competitive career has been very difficult. The shoelace suspension gold medal was confiscated for a season and there was no place for him. But thinking about it carefully, it seems that he did it by himself many times... This also illustrates a problem, and occasionally there is a flash Athletes with a flash are destined to not get as many opportunities as athletes with long-term stable and reliable performance.Brother Hou is so talented, but in the end he didn't even have a brand in the Olympic World Championships, and it must have something to do with wasting his talent.

——To be continued, the little Kopri in the next chapter is Hanyu’s younger brother. Since he is so famous, I will briefly gossip about it.
