'Laniesandgentlemen, please welcome below, No. 20 Turin Winter Olympic Games, figure skating men's single bronze medalist, Russian player Ilya Ivanov. '

'Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! ! '

'Ilya! '

'Ilya! '

'...'

Applause burst into applause amidst the sigh, An Yi watched the switching images on the real-time screen and shook his head, concealing his complicated emotions by picking up the mineral water bottle to drink water.

Injuries, struggles, effort, acceptance.Wang Xinyue, Chen Jiankai, Johnny, and Ilya Ivanov are so similar.

Don't look at the smile on the corner of the mouth in the center of the ice rink at this moment, the Russian veteran who will retire after the performance, his whole body exudes a kind of calmness.

In fact, he still has some regrets in his heart, otherwise he would not have used provocative and joking ways to playfully want to compete with Johnny again.

hum-

Ten seconds, 20 seconds, the on-site announcer's voice fell, and after the simple opening gesture, the cello pulled out the familiar theme, and the "Ave Maria" slid by Ilya Ivanov NO.16 was staged again, bringing the audience Feelings are quite different.

On the field that day, he talked about his gratitude and happiness after the release through the skates under his feet.Today, when the parting really came before him, the emotions he conveyed inevitably showed a little more reluctance.

Especially when he let go of the love in the music and interpreted hope and prayer more focusedly, this free skating program obviously combined the essence of himself and An Yi's "Ave Maria", and became more delicate and moving in emotional expression.

Look at his facial expression when skating, and look at the scene of the live audience brought to the scene by the camera lens of the live broadcast.

In an instant, hundreds of millions of spectators around the world who were watching this performance skating had an idea in their minds, maybe this is the most perfect and moving "Ave Maria"?

The reason is that simple love or blessings are not enough to fully and accurately interpret the 'power' and emotion contained in this dance, this piece of music, and the deeper level as it is now.

'... Quadlutz, Tripletoeloop.Ilya Ivanov's joint jump was done with ease. '

'This show, this show, Oh, all I can say is I'm really sorry.After absorbing the essence of Louis's free skating, although he pushed the completion of the program to another peak in one fell swoop.But I have to say that the official match day is over, it's too late, everything is too late. '

In the CBCSPORTS live broadcast room, Joe Baker expressed the above-mentioned exclamation with half rejoicing and half regretting. Sitting next to him, Tracy Milos nodded in sympathy. The two commented that this is not a game but a game. performance.

On the ice rink, Ilya Ivanov, who was extremely focused and immersed in skating, continued to interpret his own story. The upper body movements combined with precise and clear footwork further sublimated the program, which was even better than the final day His competitive state gave this free skating program named after the Virgin Mary a layer of holy light.

One minute, two and a half minutes, time passed and he pushed the performance to the end. No one would doubt that the International Skating Federation's classic program database will have another set of amazing programs. After this performance, he was about to retire.

In the future, if they miss him, they can only recall his demeanor through video data, and they will never see him on the scene again, and they will not see his possible breakthrough in this sport.

Regret, reluctance, and complicated emotions are really hard to describe in words. Thousands of words piled up in my heart, and when they rushed out of my throat, they turned into simple cheers and blessings.

'Ilya! '

'Come on! '

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly ! ! '

'...'

At 40 minutes and [-] seconds, the free skating performance ended. The platinum-haired man stood facing the north stand with open arms, surrounded by the sound waves sweeping down from the highest part of the auditorium.

Extremely rare, this man who seldom responds to the audience with a smiling face, this time he not only smiled but also smiled very brightly. He was shrouded in light under the lamp post, his golden hair was so dazzling, and his dark green eyes rolled His gratitude and joy are so touching, it seems like a different person.

Now, in the future, he thought.The past has passed, and although the future is unknown, he will no longer be confused.

He loves this place and everything in front of him. Although he decides to leave, he doesn't want to burn the souls of all fans who support him and love him with sad tears.

and so……

Darlings, don't cry, please let me leave with a smile, please?

Thank you for the strength you have given me over the years.

'Ilya Ivanov! '

'Ah ah ah ah ah! ! '

"Son, this man..."

"Cut! Old man, don't think that you will win because you skated well this time. Get rid of you! Get rid of you! I will definitely kill you! No matter how good your skating is, Johnny the Great will still beat you !"

The frontcourt performance was completed, and An Zexian, who had been guarding An Yi in the backcourt preparation area, was about to express his feelings when a series of bold words suddenly popped up from the Canadian delegation not far from the Chinese figure skating national team. Johnny in a black shirt and black trousers jumped into the corridor, turned around and waved at An Yi. Accompanied by Joyce, who was crying and laughing behind him, he walked to the athlete's aisle not far away.

Seeing his reaction, An Yi, who was leaning on the chair, was surprised for half a second and quickly realized, guessing that Johnny's reaction might be related to the challenge Ilya Ivanov initiated after the rehearsal?

Although he didn't know the details, he had to admit that Ilya Ivanov had indeed confirmed Johnny's unyielding character.He succeeded and took the initiative to push the relationship between the two of them, which was not good in the first place, into a worse direction.

Thinking of all these things in his mind, An Yi watched Johnny walk into the athlete's tunnel, glanced at the ice dance silver medalist German team that had begun to perform in the real-time screen, and rushed to Chen Jiankai and Wang Xinyue who had just returned to the preparation area after being interviewed by reporters Nodding his head, he said whatever came to his mind, aimlessly chatting with the equally boring An Zexian.

As time went by, the performances on the ice continued in the order of ice dance, women's singles, doubles, and men's singles. After 10 minutes, at nearly 08:30 in the evening, it was finally the turn of Johnny, the silver medalist for men's singles, to perform. Thousands of spectators gave him the warmest applause since the opening of the performance skating.

In the backcourt preparation area, An Yi, who knew what Johnny was planning to do, quickly cheered up and waited to witness the miracle. At the same time, an inexplicable idea came to his mind, thinking that what this bastard wanted to do was probably more than quadruple jumps.

Specific reasons?

Ok……

Thinking about his aura when he left, and thinking that this is his last major performance before retiring, it is almost impossible to guess what will happen. I only hope that the audience and Joyce who accompanied him in the frontcourt can hold on.

'Johnny! '

'Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! '

'Johnny! '

After applause and cheers, after the on-site announcer reported his name and nationality, Johnny, who wanted to seize the last chance and let his mortal enemy swallow the bitter fruit of failure, stepped onto the ice rink with a calm face.

Brush brush.

Pedaling accelerated, he, dressed in black, slid to the place where Ilya Ivanov had once stood.

The next moment, he bent his left leg, tilted his body, raised the corners of his eyes, tilted his neck, and glared at the live camera that was filming him. After successfully arousing the commotion and screams of the audience, he still felt that it was not enough. Outside the protective wall in the northwest corner of the arena, James Joyce, who was worried about him, watched in horror, raised his arms, grabbed and pulled, and pulled out the hem of the shirt that was tucked into the waistband of his trousers. He unbuttoned and opened his chest crazily, revealing his muscular, well-defined chest muscles and abdominal muscles with a little brown-blond hair on such an important occasion as the Winter Olympics.

coax--

As soon as this situation came out, the audience in the Paravina Stadium exploded.

What are you doing Johnny? !

James Joyce, who was lucky enough to witness all this with his own eyes, almost swears.

but!

The person who did all this, the maverick Mr. Johnny Wassenberg didn't care about it. After showing off his good figure to the audience all over the world, he raised his right hand, raised his index finger, pointed to the air, and croaked. Smile, cooperate with the skating music sounding over the ice rink, and sing loudly: oh Let'tgo!

Straight to the audience watching his performance skating around the world, tied layer after layer of explosives and ignited immediately, the skates under the feet stomped on the background Queen's classic song, "anotheronebitesthedust" every accent, started his own A show that frightened the world.

'Wowwowwow!The Jonny Wassenberg of today is unbelievable! '

'Come on, everyone in front of the TV.Feel his passion, embrace his enthusiasm, embrace his energy!Finally kiss him, touch him, own him, he is everything in everyone's eyes! '

'Sexy, wild, this is the man!This kind of him is obviously more likable than some people! '

In the CBC live broadcast room, Trish Milos was emotional, singing praises for the country's pride for its amazing performance on the ice rink, and her voice and tone became more and more intense.

On the other side, Johnny, who has successfully attracted the attention of audiences all over the world, is dancing on the ice rink and constantly increasing his skating speed to prepare for the upcoming technical moves. The east side of the field slides to the west side, scrolling the ups and downs of countless spectators inside and outside the field, brewing a storm that is destined to shock the world.

At the same time, background music sang.

The machine gun is ready.

are you ready?

Hey!are you ready?Are you really ready?I'm going to kill all of you!

Gunshots sounded!

One down, another down, how do you think I'll keep fighting?

Kill him!

Send him to heaven!

Send him back home!

boom!

chap——

The joking lyrics were accompanied by a gunshot that shook the soul. Johnny came to the center of the ice rink from the west side of the ice rink, supported his body with the outer edge of his right foot, prepared for the first skating in his career, and waited for a long time with his floating feet. The tooth of the left foot finally touched the ice, the right leg bent and the center of gravity of the body sank, and was blasted by the sound of gunshots, and jumped into the air and began to spin.

One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps, tens of millions of spectators, watching him twirling counterclockwise with his arms folded around his chest and falling, dedicating a high and far, but ordinary difficulty for him , An unremarkable back and outside point ice quadruple jump.

Immediately afterwards, even though his eyes noticed that he fell off the ice and slid out, he did not feel any surprise when the knife tooth of his left foot touched the ice to take off again. He subconsciously believed that the second jump could only be a triple axel.

but!

As Johnny's second jump lifted into the air, stayed in the air, and began to spin, after pulling out a trajectory in the air with a height and distance that was not inferior to the first jump, everyone who saw this scene was stunned.

They start counting laps...

The first lap, the second lap, the third lap, the fourth lap! ?Ahhh, what is this? !

It's not a triple axel, it's a quad!

It is not a quadruple back toe, but a second quadruple toe back, followed by the first quadruple back toe and executed consecutively!

So what kind of technical move is this, what kind of technical move is this! ?

Quadruple quadruple joint jumps? Does Quadtoeloop connect to Quadtoeloop? !

Rumbling--
