At 2 noon local time in Salt Lake City on February 13th, An Yi was exhausted after a good night's sleep and ushered in a new day.

After more than ten hours, the storm brought by the men's singles short program has already taken shape. Whether it is the 11th, 12th, or 13th in the world, as long as it is a country that has broadcast the men's singles live, online and offline, print, and video, there will always be I can find some news related to figure skating, or Chinese player An Yi.

The most typical examples are Canada and China.

If the former Canada is favored by Johnny, a true Canadian, the latter China is definitely An Yi's world.

Because of the time difference, after the short program, he first appeared on the news broadcast that night, and then from eight o'clock, he occupied the cctv5 Olympic special report until nine o'clock. There is a line of footnotes left in the book.

In addition, there are old figure skating powerhouses such as Europe and North America. Although they are not happy to report news about Anyi from their heart, they have no choice but to mention some things in this area due to some pressure.

As a direct result, in the ten hours, anyone who has followed the Winter Olympics, whether they like figure skating or not, has definitely heard of An Yi's Chinese or English name.

The flawless, extremely exciting short program competition video is widely circulated, and I will pick it up after your home broadcast.

"Oh~~~wonderful! Three weeks around the back outer knot, Steve, I think..."

"Dad, can you turn off the TV? How many times have you watched it? I still want to show some face to your son."

In the public activity room on the first floor of the dormitory building where the Chinese national team stayed in the Olympic Village, An Yi lay on a yoga ball and tried to let go of his thoughts. When the sports station broadcasts news about his son, the first action is to stop, and the second action is to turn up the volume to pay attention.

An Yi, who was the person involved, was helpless. He really wanted to yell at his father, is there someone as unlimited as you?

Didn't you always worry that your son couldn't bear the pressure in this area?Why is she not afraid at all now.

"That's not enough? I didn't expect your kid's face to turn out--don't stare, I won't say anything. Then what, if the activity is over, let's go if it is over. Julian has been waiting impatiently in the salon gone."

Hearing An Yi's complaint, An Zexian twitched his lips and smiled, and glanced across, only to see An Yi's undisguised white eyes.

He looked at him, and he was also very impressed while being funny.Once again, I muttered in my heart, who exactly does my kid's character look like?Sure enough, he is still the old man of their family who is busy somewhere, right?

After exercising and waiting, another half an hour passed. At 11:35 noon, An Yi, An Zexian and his son left the dormitory building, walked and chatted, and came to the hairdressing salon in the Olympic Village. ' of the Frenchman Julian Pat.

That is, how should I put it.The moment he saw him, An Yi instinctively felt that something was wrong!

And what happened next also confirmed his premonition. From the moment he was pushed onto the chair in the salon by Julian Pater, the 'torture' that a real man could never bear began.

It starts with washing your hair, over and over again.Then there is hair cutting and fine-tuning of the hairstyle, and then there is oil maintenance, which is tossing people.

For three and a half hours, if An Yi hadn't seen the draw time for tomorrow's free skating, An Yi would have absolutely believed that this man would be able to drag his hair until tomorrow morning.

What about split ends, uneven hair color, too much stress recently, and dull hair luster, Luis, how do you usually take care of your hair? What are these things?

He is a big man who takes care of his hair. He always washes his hair twice with shampoo and then rinses with a towel.

"...Now, according to the groups, draw the order of tomorrow's free skating competition. First place, Louis Woz (yian) China."

Click, click, click! !

In the meeting room where tomorrow's men's singles free skating draw ceremony will be held in the Olympic Village, as the officials behind the long table on the rostrum read An Yi's name, the group of reporters sitting behind the 24 athletes began to work.

The sound of the shutter of the camera, the follow-up shooting of the camera, and the attention of the other 23 athletes in the room, as well as the staff of various national delegations, An Yi, who heard his name, stood up and walked forward. He took out the small cloth bag in the order of appearance, looked down at the numbers on the round card in his hand and smiled.

Is it the 23rd?

The penultimate player came on the stage, just right.

With this result, worrying that he will draw the last person to play again, such as his father, he can finally feel at ease.

"Chinese player Louis Watts (yian), twentythree."

"Canada's Jonny Wassenberg, twentyfour."

"Ukrainian Vik Donaghisa, twentytwo."

"American player Joel Duroc", twentyone.

"Russian players..."

Draw lots, group photos, interviews, the ceremony ended at 45:[-] pm, and the athletes left.

Looking at the time, An Yi went directly to the restaurant to get something to eat to finish the dinner. Unexpectedly, in the process of choosing food, he ran into someone who came later.

As for who that guy is.Hmm... There was no one else except Johnny Wassenberg who deliberately kept a distance from him after the short program. His method of creating a deep valley between the two before the final and improving his fighting spirit in a disguised form was no longer two at a time. time.

Judging from previous experience, the effect is still good, but the disadvantage is that the side effects are also very strong.

Look at the mountain of food on the dinner plate in his hand, this method seems destined to be impossible for others to learn.

"Emm~iing. Steak, sausage, and French fries. This is the first time I know that my brother likes to eat these foods."

Standing in front of the self-selected salad table, An Yi glanced at the opposite side and heard his voice. Johnny stopped involuntarily, raised his hand to pick up some chicken salad and put it on the plate, and looked at him a meter away with a half-smile The man blinked, and said, his eyes fell on the big and thick Tomahawk steak, which definitely weighed more than four catties.

"You know, people usually eat food to vent their emotions when they are nervous and uneasy. Because I won the number 24 in the lottery, I will be the last one in tomorrow's free skating... oh! Listen to what I said? How can our strong little bull, Mr. Johnny Wasenberg, be nervous, bye."

After flirting with Johnny, he turned his head and left. An Yi found a seat by the window and sat down, looking very happy.

Three to 40 seconds, absolutely no more than one minute, as he thought.

He heard two bangs, bangs, bangs, from the position opposite him, and he was eating dinner in a slow manner, and he didn't even need to look to be sure that it was definitely that idiot Johnny.

It's just... I don't know if the guy in front of me has changed, or he is too sensitive, and he feels a strange sense of oppression from this best friend.

That feeling was completely different from the aura he had when he made up his mind to go all out.More aggressive and more deterrent.

"Nervous, restless? Louis, you are right and wrong."

Sit down and stay silent for 1 minute and 2 minutes. When the air around the two of them was almost condensed, Johnny spoke up. At the same time, An Yi put down the fork in his hand and looked up.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time, and I'm more excited than nervous!"

"Brother, you know, although it's a lot of pressure to be the last player in the last group, it also gives me more chances to beat you. My artistic performance can't beat you, so I'll beat you with the difficulty of movement." .If two quadruple jumps are not enough, I will increase to three or even four!"

"..."

Listening and watching, An Yi didn't speak, and stared straight at Johnny with a serious expression in front of him.

What is this guy doing?Tell him in advance that he will increase the number of quadruple jumps, so that he can prepare for it?I didn't expect this kid to be quite a gentleman, but I don't know if Joyce agrees with his decision.

"Johnny, Joe—"

"I know what you want to say. Believe me, I have convinced... no, to be precise, it should be the accompanying Canadian officials who have convinced Joyce after the short program. Remember? His original request was full Eighteen years old, I'm only four months away. So, be careful my brother, this time, I will definitely do my best to defeat you!"

After finishing speaking, he stood up, picked up the plate and walked away. Johnny, who was dressed in the costume of the Canadian delegation, left An Yi with a bright red maple leaf back and disappeared around the corner of the restaurant.

Sitting on the seat, An Yi watched and thought, and after a while, he lowered his head and picked up the fork, and pounded the food on the plate. Although his face didn't show it, he was quite disturbed in his heart.

First and second, gold medals and silver medals, for the sake of national honor, did the officials of the Canadian delegation finally intervene?It should be said that it really deserves to be another battlefield to demonstrate national power.

In past and present lives, although everyone said that the Olympic Games are a symbol of peace, in fact, they are no different from cruel battlefields except that there is no flames of war.

And An Yi, as an athlete representing the country, as a "warrior" who affects the hearts of millions of people in the country, shouldn't he also let go of some insistence, break free from shackles and use all means to defeat other opponents? What is the top priority?
