For 2 minutes and 3 minutes, during the process of entering the athlete's tunnel from the backcourt, none of the six people said a word. For dreams, for not leaving regrets, for proving themselves, for defending the championship, all kinds of thoughts are churning around them. A seemingly calm, but actually extremely violent cyclone formed.

The level of danger was frightening, and the several staff members who led them to the front field were so overwhelmed that they didn't dare to make a sound, and they obviously felt that the closer they were to the exit of the passage, the heavier the force in the air that was clenched to their bodies.

At the same time, the announcer also made a sound Introduce the names and nationalities of the six people, and the achievements they have made in the competition.

The first three are okay. Although they are better than the first four groups of athletes, it is not surprising that they are still in the normal range.

But for the last three, with the titles one after another, a series of brilliant game records were reported by the announcer, and the hundreds of millions of viewers who watched the game on and off the field were all shocked.

It was also at this moment that many of them truly understood the true meaning of the three bosses in men's figure skating.Understand why many senior ice fans and figure skating commentators classify the three of them together and distinguish them from other athletes.

'From the [-]/[-] season to the present, in any international competition he has participated in, he has won the gold medal in the men's single skating event! '

hiss----! ! !

'wow! ! ! '

One sentence, a short sentence, which is so light that it can be ignored, was uttered from the mouth of the on-site announcer, but it suppressed the cheers of 5000 people in the Paravina Stadium in an instant, making the game scene terribly quiet.

Everyone, not only the ordinary spectators on the four sides of the stands, but also the athletes and coaches on the perimeter of the protective wall and the backcourt preparation area, as well as the commentators and commentators on TV stations broadcasting the game from all over the world.

At this moment, through the lens of the on-site camera, all eyes are fixed on the black-haired man in a white and blue color scheme, with the word "China" printed in bright red on the back of his clothes, shaking his head in admiration, or opening his mouth silently, saying no Without saying anything, he watched him slide along the edge of the ice rink at a constant speed, confirming the condition of the ice surface.

To be honest, the degree of appreciation and the degree of concentration and dedication of the athletes are likely to be more concentrated and higher than the acquired free skating.

'Ladies and gentlemen, the last group of the short program, the first player to play is Joel Duroc, from the United States. '

'Go! Go! Go!Joel!we love you! ! '

The applause sounded, and the game began. With hundreds of millions of eyes watching, the first Texas cowboy to play began his performance.

At the same time, in the backcourt preparation area, where the Chinese delegation is located, An Yi, who has officially entered the game state after warming up, is sitting on a seat not far from the real-time screen with headphones on, listening to music and watching the game, letting his thoughts flow Fluttering and diverging, he sank his emotions into the feeling before the warm-up bit by bit.

Romance in E Minor.
