"This is!? Sakhov quadruped?!"

"The kid is just—"

They looked at each other in dismay, unbelievable.

This was the scene. Apart from the relevant personnel of the Meteor Ice Rink, other bystanders witnessed An Yi's real reaction after performing a perfect quadruple jump.

Focusing on the team of the Chinese national team, the most conspicuous one is An Zexian who clapped his hands excitedly and jumped up on the spot.Followed by Joanna Watts, the mother who is proud of her son, and then the other members of the national team who are stunned. They are still immersed in the shock of the quadruple jump.

This is not to say that they have never seen quadruple jumps, or that domestic men's singles players cannot do quadruple jumps.Rather, at this moment, suddenly seeing such a small child who has reached such a technical difficulty, I feel a little at a loss in my heart.

Especially coupled with the fact that this kid's artistic expression is so outstanding, looking at the younger generation of reserve athletes in China, none of them can compare with him.No, no, it's still polite to say that, even if you count the active adult men's singles players, who can reach this level of technical difficulty, there are only two or three of them.Sorry, really, none of them can reach this level of artistic expression.

With bitterness in their hearts, they looked at each other and shook their heads and smiled wryly. The men and women of the national team couldn't tell what they were feeling at this time.

Is there such a big gap between their training methods and foreign countries?

The 14-year-old Canadian boy who skated the long and short programs in the afternoon has given them a lot of insight.Before going to bed at night, they unexpectedly let them see such a monster again.

Sighing helplessly, the thoughts in his mind turned back and forth, and he looked straight ahead again. An Yi on the ice rink continued his skating.

After performing an impeccable back-inside quadruple, he kept sliding out to change footwork, and he jumped up with a spin followed by a swallow spin.

The center of gravity of the body falls on the blade of the front half of the left foot, and the straightened right leg forms a ninety-degree angle with the supporting left leg.The body posture of the whole person is infinitely close to the uppercase English letter 'T'. With the left foot of the ice falling as the center, it rotates on the ice for eight full circles.

Immediately afterwards, he took off vigorously to complete the foot change.Lean your upper body back, and bend your left leg joint inward toward the top of your head.The right hand hooks the back of the ice skate from bottom to top and stretches the left arm. The five fingers of the palm are either closed or stretched. While the body keeps rotating, the movements of the fingertips are constantly changing.

Looking down on the ice from the air, one can see that his upper body posture has changed from the horizontal line above the English letter 'T' to an approximately circular circle.The shape and action are very similar to the appearance of a swan hiding its head in its wings when it is taking a nap. This action itself also has a scientific name, doughnut spin - donut spinning. (doughnut)

The music advances and the taxiing continues.

After jumping and turning, the music gradually entered the tranquility before the storm from soothing and melodious.

A little drum sounded, and An Yi stepped on the drum, stepping into preparation for jumping.Lifting the right foot lightly, the rear outer edge of the left foot slipped in backwards, and a moment before take-off, completed a series of technical movements such as turning around and changing the edge, swinging the leg to take off.After soaring into the air, he spun three and a half weeks in the air and landed on the ice with his right foot, completing a set of jumps that must be completed in a short program, Axel jumped three weeks.

The drumbeat continued to speed up, the sound of the xylophone ding-dong, and the sound of the water blended in. An Yi's pedaling and skating suddenly accelerated, but he tried his best to control his body posture, maintaining the calmness and elegance that a swan should have.

Until another guqin sounded, the sound of the piano was chaotic, destroying the last trace of peace in the music.

He landed on the ice with his right foot and slid in with his back. The knife teeth of his left foot hit the ice surface suddenly, and he turned and jumped. Accompanied by the crystal ice particles, he began to rotate his body in the air.

Week one, week two, week three, week four!

After landing on the ice steadily, the knife teeth of the left foot touch the ice again, and the legs use force to complete the take-off.Accompanied by the increasingly rumbling drumbeats in the background music, he dedicated the last jumping movement in this short program, [-]T plus [-]T, quadruple jump on the backside and then triple axel on the backside.

"Oh my god, my god, I knew it was going to happen!"

The ominous premonition in his heart became a reality at this moment, and James Joyce not only did not lament the technical difficulty of his disciple's skating short program.On the contrary, he was a little bored and angry, and secretly told himself to be patient, not to scold a disciple who performed so "excellently" when there were so many outsiders at the scene.

It was different from the group of Chinese people not far away who were amazed, amazed, and surprised by the technical difficulty of the programs performed by the disciples.What he cares most about is his disciple's health, health, health!It's not that he opposes his disciples' pursuit of difficulty, but he always hopes that they will do what they can, not to be overconfident at a young age, taking advantage of their youth and good health, to challenge difficult movements without restraint, and finally end up with injuries, and the glory shines for a moment , After that, everyone retired sadly.

Yes, yes, he admitted.His disciple Louis Woz is indeed an out-and-out genius.But isn't genius not tired, isn't genius not injured?

It's just a set of short programs. As for raising the difficulty to this level, it's simply unimaginable.

Looking at the figure skaters all over the world, unless they are desperate when participating in a competition, which skating short program is not enough to make seven points and three points to ensure that they enter the free skating stage without injury or disaster?

After that, after successfully entering the free skating stage, they will fully fire up and compete for the ranking with all their strength in the seven jumps.

In the short program, it is a small waste of physical strength to perform difficult movements continuously. If you get injured while doing those movements, it will be really a small loss.

One side is dissatisfied, the other side is shocked, two waves of people outside the field, plus the boy skating in the field, three different thoughts are intertwined.

After successfully completing three jumps, An Yi's short program also came to an end.

Accompanied by the sound of "thunder and rain" in the music, he began to complete his successive steps. The footwork of his feet could not be changed dazzlingly, but the body movements of the upper body rarely changed. Only when dancing, will occasionally make corresponding changes.

Look at his facial expression again, calm, forbearing, eager, depressed...

As if something was brewing, he exercised utmost restraint in the first half of the whole series of straight-line steps.He waited until there was a rumbling thunder, and then he fully released his passion and danced his limbs!Dance life!While waving his arms and fluttering his wings, he flew high, and in the ice flowers splashing like water droplets under his feet, he fought against this violent storm.

"This child! This child!! Director Hu, even if there are no two quadruple jumps just now, we must bring this child back to China!"

"Yes, yes! It's just this expressiveness and appeal. If you search all the athletes in China, I'm afraid..."

He shook his head and did not continue, but everyone present understood the unfinished meaning of the person who spoke.

Seeing this set of short programs now, it really echoes the old saying that there is no harm without comparison.

After appreciating such a set of amazingly expressive artistic figure skating, let them turn around and judge the artistic expression of domestic athletes and skating programs.Cough, cough, saying it's okay is against conscience, the gap is really too big.

This is not an exaggeration, nor is it admiration of foreigners, but a strong contrast that a discerning eye can distinguish between good and bad.

In the sport of figure skating, they never fear anyone in terms of technology, but they are really stumped in terms of art.If there is really no way to improve, they let the male players of the national team participating in the World Championships skate called "Chinese Kung Fu", which is really a short program and a long program free skate of simple martial arts routines?

It’s also not enough to slide a set of programs for one season, and it will continue to be used this year.The audience watching the game and the referee don't know whether they are tired or not, so they just talk about themselves. When watching this program, no matter how much they tell themselves in their hearts, it is useless to concentrate, concentrate, and concentrate!

"Don't worry, I understand what everyone means, I think everyone here is thinking about the same thing at the moment."

Since the start of An Yi's short program, An Zexian mainly introduced a middle-aged man surnamed Hu, and this is the first time he has expressed his opinion.

"In addition, I also ask everyone not to be discouraged in the face of the gap. Our country has been paying attention to ice and snow events since this year. Figure skating is the competition with the greatest potential, the largest potential audience, and the easiest to watch. The cooperation of various departments It will soon enter a period of rapid development.”

Having said that, his voice paused.Turning his eyes, he looked at the tired man who was guarding the camera, but now he turned his head and looked over with a smile, and continued.

"...I also guarantee that under my leadership, the entire national team will not have the same chaos as before. There will be no tolerance for gang formation and fighting in the nest. Any good seedlings that meet the requirements I will not let go of the conditions. Therefore, I hope that everyone can let go of the grievances in their hearts and give me, and you, the national team that has been fighting and dedicating for more than ten years, a chance!"

The tone was serious with sincerity, and there was no official evasion. The man surnamed Hu's speech, which was not a guarantee of better victory, completely reassured the hearts of the national team.

With no worries, they focused again and turned their attention to the ice rink, just in time to see the last technical move in An Yi's short program, the joint rotation of changing feet.

Integrating with the background music, I saw An Yi's right foot landed on the ice and his left foot lifted slightly, his body remained in a standing posture and his muscles were tense. After turning eight times, he changed his left foot to land on the ice, his right foot floated, and his body leaned back.At the same time, the right hand hooked the back of the ice blade of the right foot, and helped the right foot to be raised above the head from behind during the rotation, completing the Bellman rotation that required extremely high body flexibility.

That is, the movement that An Yi is doing at this time obviously requires more flexibility and control of the body.

Because he completes the action, the arm that helps to lift the knife and lift the leg is not two but one!Although this will not directly affect the basic score of this action, it is undoubtedly more beautiful in terms of visual effects.

After seeing this movement, all the men beside the ice rink widened their pupils and did not blink.The remaining five women, whether young or mature, covered their faces and gasped, and the fire in their eyes was successfully ignited in an instant.

It's really because the body posture presented on the ice is really beautiful and refreshing after the Bellman spin of the single-handed knife is made.Not only does it look more elegant and nimble, but it is also a little more light, confident, beautiful and calm than the previous two-handed knife.

……

The author has something to say:

The difficulty of An Yi's gliding short program is according to the adult level, so unlike Johnny, there is a rule for hook jumping.

In the short program, an Axel jump must be completed, and it can be done in two or three weeks. In this chapter, An Yi did it for three weeks.

The free skating is now eight jumps, but it was not before. Most of the men's singles are seven jumps, and mistakes can be made up.

Thank you for your support, there were so many comments in the last chapter, Uncle Meng felt very relieved.Can't help but start to think, in the future, do you want to be a broken chapter do... (System: What to do? What to do? What did you say you were going to do? pia~pia~pia~~)
