ice emperor

In the eyes of everyone, An Yi's group of six began to practice together, the short program and free skating, and two days passed.

At 25:[-] p.m. on December [-]th, after the ice dance, pair, and women's singles short programs, it was men's singles turn.

Successfully breaking into this season, the top six athletes in the standings of the ISU International Skating Union Grand Prix, after a 6-minute warm-up for the last round as usual, officially kicked off the competition.

At [-]:[-], in the draw of the short program the day before, the first German player to play in the game was drawn. Leo Bodman stepped on the voice of the on-site announcer and started his own skating.The luck of the lottery was neither bad nor bad. An Yi, who was drawn fourth to play, sat in the backcourt preparation area and watched his performance through the real-time screen.

At the same time, due to the follow-up impact of the "Russian Ice Association" phone scandal incident last year, he also allocated part of his energy to the second and third Russians in the short program, Yugenev Yeveshchenko and Ilya A. On Ivanov.

The reason is that although the two are figure skaters from the same country, they had a rather unpleasant quarrel because of what happened last year.At this moment, the seat distance is not far away, not only is there no communication during the whole process, but the aura radiating from the whole body is still squeezing each other, and every time the eyes meet, there will be a violent collision.

"..."

"Oh, I was so scared to death. Did my son see it? Yugenev's glance was sharper than a knife just now. Could it be that these two people really fell out?"

While waiting for the match, An Zexian, who had just returned from helping Johnny's shoulder massage in Canada's Xiaotiandi, noticed the strangeness between the two Russians in the area where the Chinese national team was located. Side Road.

"Speaking of it, boy, do you feel that Ilya Ivanov has been particularly troubled since his comeback? The results of the competition are so-so, and the relationship with domestic athletes and even the media is not very good."

"I think the reason why he encountered all this is due to the malicious targeting of outsiders and his own reasons. There are [-] helplessness in the final analysis: blame him for choosing the wrong time to come back, and his own strength. Not strong enough."

chap!

Quadtoeloopjump (jump around the back and outside point ice).

Listening to An Zexian's opinion and thinking about it, Leo Bodman on the field slid into the action with the rear outer edge of his right foot, and took off with the knife tooth of his left foot on the ice. The first single in the three jumps in the short program jump appears.

Then, he entered the swallow with a butterfly jump, and Axel finished with a triple axel and a big step.

Squatting rotation with changing feet without changing posture, adding the last set of jumps, jumping around the back inner knot ring and then jumping outside the ice triple axel. Unexpectedly, the body lowered, and the outer edge of the right foot slipped out of the ice. , Theoretically, for all first-line men’s singles athletes, there is a mistake in the triple axel jump with the back and outside point that is sure enough. At the beginning of the jump, the right ice blade swayed and turned over with one hand to support the ice. sat on the ice.

Taking a closer look at the game screen sent back from the frontcourt, the expression on his face was obviously painful, and he gritted his teeth to endure it. Although he got up from the ice and continued to complete the game in the next second after the fall, that kind of technical action The sluggishness in the movement, the disappointment with himself and the unpleasant emotions still affected his last two sets of technical movements.

The number of combined rotations for changing feet is insufficient, and the successive steps not only look slippery and weak, but also give people a very vague and shallow feeling between the blade footwork transitions under the feet.

To be a little more professional, the traces of taking a break are particularly obvious, making one wonder whether the fall just now caused him to be seriously injured.

'Leo Boardman! '

Hush huh huh.

The music ended, and at two minutes and 45 seconds, the German short program came to an end.

The field announcer once again announced his name. In view of his final state and performance, the applause from the [-] spectators in the surrounding stands was generally quite enthusiastic.

After simply thanking the audience for their support, he exited the ice rink and entered the division. Leo Bodman seemed to have given up any hope for his short program score. He pointed to his right foot after sitting in the division , talking to the coach next to him until the score appeared.

Sure enough, [-] points.

The moment the score of this short program appeared on the big screen, even the unprofessional audience realized that his trip to the Grand Prix finals might have come to an early end.

Unless the next five athletes make mistakes, he will have a slight chance of winning tomorrow's free skating competition.

'...'

'The second player to play was Yugenev Eveshchenko, from Russia. '

One game ended, another game started, no matter what the reason for the German skating like just now, another player who challenged for the gold medal in the ISU Grand Prix Finals started his own charge.

At the beginning, the four-way jump of the rear inner knot ring was followed by the triple axel jump of the rear outer ice point, which was perfectly completed.

After that, the quality of the jump-and-swallow turn was also good, and the gliding trajectory was an 'S'-shaped serpentine step, which was wonderful, and cleverly connected to the first movement after entering the second half of the short program. Axel triple axel.

The music continued for one and a half minutes, two minutes, and the last set of single jumps came.

Just look at Yugenev Yeveshchenko on the ice rink, skating with his left skate on his back and jumping with his right skate on the ice.

However, at the moment of take-off, the blade of the ice blade on the left foot, which is responsible for exerting force, was a little blurred, between hitting the ice in the back or jumping with a hook.

As a result, although he jumped into the air, he turned around enough to land on the ice and slide out, completing this quadruple jump of acceptable quality.But the stern technical referee still couldn't tolerate sand in his eyes, and marked the letter 'e' on the whole movement, indicating that this movement originally planned to be a hook jump took off on the wrong edge.

It directly led to Yugenev Yeveshchenko. This set of short programs, which was originally quite good, was finally discounted in terms of technical points.

Let this set of background music be selected from "Les Miserables", and the slide show is above the standard in all aspects. There is a question mark on the question of how many points will be scored in the end.

'Russian player, Yugenev Eveshchenko, scored in the short program. '

'Technical score: [-].Program content points: [-].The total score of the short program: [-]. rank: [-]. '

'wow! ! ! '

A score of over [-] appeared, and the man who jumped up from the equal score seat, amidst the applause and exclamation of the audience, pointed a cold face at the hand in front of the equal score seat on the side of the camera.

As soon as this situation came out, the smell of gunpowder spread immediately. An Yi knew that Yugenev was referring to the former figure skating men's singles legend in Russia, Ilya Vladimirevich Ivanov.

That is, this feeling...

Not only has the conflict between this person and the domestic circle not subsided, but has it escalated further?

Maybe his father was right, but his fault was that he was not strong enough and his competitive state was not stable enough.If everything was the opposite, I believe he would never have encountered the scene in front of him today.

"...Dad, do you think I will fall into this situation if I have a sudden whim and refuse to accept my old age?"

"To be honest, Ilya's technical strength is not bad. It can be said that the existence of men's singles today is second only to me and Johnny. But how should I put it, after he came back with a sick body in the past two years, it seems that he doesn't care what he does. Whatever and how you do it is wrong and will offend people. It was once so brilliant, but now, hey..."

On the real-time screen in the backcourt, the cameraman in the frontcourt intentionally or unintentionally captured the details of the infighting between the old and the new generations in Russia. An Yi heard the familiar "Star of Baghdad" playing with mixed feelings and was upset. Holding his An Zexian's hand.

Thinking of himself in light of the world situation, after he sighed, he felt for the first time that the lack of domestic men's singles reserve players is also beneficial.

If not, figure skating talents are as abundant as Russia's. Even if he has the current achievements, it is impossible for him to rest as soon as he said he would rest after the Olympics last year.

Thinking about it carefully, there is only one reason why his willfulness did not erupt into conflicts and did not attract criticism, and that is his existence, which is irreplaceable for the current domestic figure skating career that desperately needs results.

Otherwise, he took an irresponsible rest for the whole season, disrupted the plans of the top and bottom minds, and thought that Xiao would earn a breakaway quota for the next year, which is too good to think.

Do you think you are important?In fact, with you or without you, wanting to take the redistributed cake off someone else's plate?

Hehehe, wait to be targeted.

"..."

Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

There was a gust of wind howling, and Ilya Ivanov began to slide in the video from the frontcourt. An Zexian let An Yi hold his wrist and sighed and did not answer.

At 15 seconds and 30 seconds, the Russians on the ice were ready to jump.

suddenly!

'No, mum. '

'Please don't—'

Several voices sounded like deja vu. On the ice rink, he saw the rear outer edge of his right foot turning the front inner edge. Crossed over the extremely numb face, turned the skates under the feet and then slid the outer edge, and at the same time, suddenly chiseled the raised right foot blade on the ice, leaned the center of gravity of the body to the left, turned the left ankle, and the rear outer edge Jump up into the air with force, and spin your body quickly.

Looking at him like this through the screen, An Yi in the backcourt preparation area counted circles silently in a complicated mood.

One week, two weeks, three weeks, four weeks, the body lowered, the right skate fell on the ice, and the skating posture was not perfect, but the whole movement was completed without a doubt.

Listen to the cheers spreading from the frontcourt to the backcourt, and then look at the technical points scored by the referees in the upper left corner of the real-time screen.

a jump.

[-]!

On the premise that the skating action just now was not perfect, and the GOE execution score could not be very high, it can still get such a high technical score. There is no other possibility than the quadruple hook, a technical move that Nove will never be able to make.

"...This person really refuses to admit defeat. If his physical condition can't last, I'm afraid it's not in his consideration at all."

After a moment of silence and whispering to himself, An Yi took one last look at the Russian man who was struggling against fate on the field and smiled.

"Legendary? I think fighters are the right ones. It may be a pity that he didn't meet his peak state, but this is competitive sports. Today's him may not be tomorrow's me. As long as you stand on this field, don't place your hopes on miracles and opponents." mercy."

brush.

Let go of the hand holding An Zexian's wrist and stood up from the seat, and moved his shoulder muscles not far away. Johnny, who noticed his movement and looked over, waved his hand, and brought James Joy who trotted over Si walked into the athlete's aisle, and An Yi was about to start his own short program competition.

From the backcourt to the frontcourt, the moment he stepped out of the tunnel, the platinum-blonde man happened to fly over the ice rink directly in front of him with a handful of ice crystals.The back-and-out quadruple jump, and the back-and-out triple axel jump were both high and floating, almost reaching the ultimate quality of completion, which aroused bursts of exclamations from the audience.

bang bang.

bang bang-

Amidst the heartbeat, the line of sight elongated, the time slowed down, and the eyes intertwined, old and new, victory and defeat, two generations of legends saw each other, expressing all their emotions and thoughts at a glance.

pity?

He does not need it!

mocking?

It just makes me stronger!

My opponents, this is who I am now.Do everything, burn yourself, don't just fight for the present tomorrow!

future?

This word is too far away for me like this.
