ice emperor

Half-seriously and half-jokingly chatted with Johnny for a while, said good night and hung up the phone, An Yi followed An Zexian and turned to the hotel in the scenic area to take a rest, and then devoted himself to playing for three days.

The selection of specific items, from rafting barbecue to fishing bungee jumping, covers all aspects of entertainment facilities in the scenic spot, and almost visited the surrounding area.If it wasn't for the nearly half of the long vacation, more and more citizens came here to relax, and Hu Zhenbang called to urge them to go back, An Zexian, who rarely played crazy with An Yi, would definitely hang out until the end of the vacation.

As for the consequences.

Ok……

It can only be said that in order to help them calm down as soon as possible, get back to the state, wind up the clockwork, and meet the grand prix competition, Hu Zhenbang and a group of brains have sacrificed one after another, studying seminars, team test skating, demonstrating for young athletes, etc. The big move was to force An Zexian and An Yi to be busy in their respective 'posts' from the beginning of October to the middle of October.

Finally, when the poor father and son came back to their senses again, the time had come to October NO.20, the first round of the ISU International Skating Union Grand Prix, the competition day of the four individual short programs.

After a busy day of training, the family of three who had planned to go to the concert had not had time to set off, but they were called to the multimedia room by the leader and officials of the Chinese figure skating team who were rushing to get to know their opponents and know themselves and their enemies in order to be invincible. Athletes and coaches of the event will watch this event together. It will be held at [-]:[-] p.m. Beijing time and [-]:[-] p.m. local time in Moscow.

'...'

'Evgenia Viktorona, Vladimir Markov, after the short program. '

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

Hush huh huh.

'...'

"Okay, the pair skating competition is over, and it's 10 minutes of ice pouring time. Jiankai, Xinyue, He Xu, Nian Xin, Wang Liang, Jin Yi, all talk about their feelings."

clap clap.

From [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], after the ice dance, the five pair skating pairs were divided into two groups to complete the short program competition. Sitting in the front row of the multimedia room, Ji Mingliang, who was in charge of teaching and training the pairs in the team, got up from his seat and looked to the back row The athletes, especially the three pairs of senior doubles clapped their hands and continued.

"Here I would like to remind you. You have also studied the ISU Announcement No. [-] this year. You should know that the height and distance of the toss jump that we had the greatest advantage in the past is no longer the standard for the referees to judge the quality of the movement."

"So I hope you cheer up and have a sense of urgency in your heart. Don't be like ordinary ice fans, thinking that foreign athletes will throw low jumps too close, and the completion score will be low. You have also seen the situation of the Russian No. [-] pair just now. , [-] points, the best short program score in his career."

While speaking, his voice became louder. Ji Mingliang looked at the pair skaters represented by Chen Jiankai and Wang Xinyue with a serious expression. He seized the 10-[-] minutes of pouring ice on the field and listened to their opinions on the performance of the main opponents in the future international competition.

On the other side, on the left seat in the multimedia room, An Yi closed his eyes after watching the pair short program competition.Listening to the speeches of the teammates of the figure skating team, he consciously connected to the Internet through the system to refresh the news related to this competition, and soon found that the sports section of the main portal websites in Europe and the United States had been updated. Analysis and perception of athlete performance.

After browsing all the way, he found that among the many commentary articles, no one mentioned the rule modification that seemed to be aimed at the advantages of Chinese pair skating. The United Grand Prix race seems to be comparable to the Winter Olympics that ended last season.

Looking at An Yi, seeing those words of hard work, pride, persistence, and progress, although he knew he was a little angry, he still couldn't suppress the sneer that emerged from the bottom of his heart.

I deeply feel that after so many years of efforts of generations of athletes and coaches, China has already become a new big figure skating country.

In fact, compared with those established forces, both the number of basic athletes and the number of top-level ISU referees, officials, and directors are far behind.

'Ladies and gentlemen, the women's figure skating short program is about to start, please...'

'Ladies and gentlemen, the second group of men's figure skating men's short program is about to start a 6-minute warm-up.They are: Rahim Bazarevich, Ivan Belov, Vitaly Harmon, Dmitry Belov, Yugenev Yeveshchenko—'

Hush huh huh.

' Anatoly Ivanov. '

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! '

'...'

Local time in Moscow, Russia, at 21:[-] pm on October [-], [-], Beijing time at [-]:[-] pm, the women's singles short program competition ended, the first group of men's singles short program competitors finished the competition, and the last group Six athletes stood on the ice rink.

The on-site announcer announced the names of the contestants aloud, and the projection cloth at the front of the multimedia room switched to the live broadcast from the Russian National TV Sports Channel.Two men with the same platinum hair color, one big and one small, appeared in the sideshow of the video at the same time, successfully arousing the screams of the audience.

Leaning on the seat and watching intently, An Yi watched the young and immature boy go around the field to warm up, and then slid to the sidelines to chat with his old opponent who was wearing a black formal suit and had half-length blond hair meticulously groomed.Patiently waiting for each player to go on and off the field, dedicating a wonderful or so-so short program performance.

It wasn't until Yuginev Yeveshchenko, who was the penultimate player in the game, started the game, the first four-week jump fell off the ice and slid out of the ice with one hand, and the second Axel three-week jump fell off the ice and fell. He straightened his back and retracted his scattered thoughts, and focused on watching the game.

He was sure that in the face of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Anatoly, who had worked hard [-]%, would definitely drain the full potential of his body.

'Yuginev Yeveshchenko, the score in the short program was .Technical score: [-].Program content points: [-].The total score of the short program: [-]. Rank: [-]. '

When the score appeared, the applause sounded. Yugenev, who was sitting on the waiting table in the live broadcast, changed his expression the moment he saw his score, and frowned. It hit his right leg.

The live camera switched to Anatoly and Ilya Ivanov who were separated by a wall inside and outside the arena.An Yi, who didn't blink his eyes, watched the master and apprentice with similar appearance and temperament talk in Russian and finally shook hands and separated. The younger one slid to the center of the ice rink following the announcer's voice.

brush.

The ice skates turn to a stop, with the left foot in front and the right foot behind, the teeth of the blade rest on the ice and the center of gravity of the body moves backward.Anatoly, who has a delicate appearance, fairer skin than snow, and obviously more flexible body than Ilya, leaned back with his back, stretched his arms left and right, bent his ten fingers naturally, took a deep breath and closed his eyes.

next second.

An Yi's familiar "Swan Lake" was played, and at first glance it felt similar to Ilya Ivanov's "Death of the Swan", but after careful identification, it was found that a short program with a completely different story development was staged.

On the ice rink, although the boy with the same surname Ivanov still lacks technical difficulty, his artistic expression and the appeal shown through body language after he starts skating can be said to be far beyond his age group. s level.

'quad toe loop... amazing!It looked like this quadruple jump was a breeze for the Russian Son. '

'Speaking of which, I would like to remind all friends who just turned on the TV to watch the live broadcast of the game, please pay attention to the words and numbers displayed in the upper left corner of the video screen.Real-time technology score (TechScore), Leader (leading): [-], representing Yugenev Yeveshchenko who completed the short program competition not long ago. Current (current): [-], representing a technical score of Anatoly Ivanov's backside quadruple jump performed with a fairly high quality execution. '

At home and abroad, while An Yi was sitting in the multimedia room watching the game, the TV media represented by Canada's CBC SPORTS, America's NBC, and Japan's NHK were also explaining the short program games that were happening on the ice rink.

All over the world, figure skaters and coaches, including An Yi, watched the blond boy jump up and down and soar in the live broadcast.Sometimes the right leg is bent and the neck is hidden under the wings for a nap, and sometimes the feet are stretched out to take a big one-word step and slide to balance, and the foot is changed to the left foot and then the outer edge is slid in. The knife tooth points on the ice to assist the left foot to fly high into the sky.

chap!

There was a crisp sound, and the ice particles splashed and spun freely.

The boy who was dubbed the Holy Son by the European media was radiant. With a three-week hook and then an outside ice triple axel, he scored an astonishing [-] points in one fell swoop. Use his own strength to tell the world that although his age is young, his competitive level cannot be underestimated. Axel performed triple axel jumps, grading and step-by-step, and completed joint rotations that absolutely reached the fourth level.

One minute, two and a half minutes, two minutes and 1 seconds, the game is over.When he stopped, he was breathless, but his name was remembered by the worldwide audience who watched his short performance.

Remember this boy with the same surname as Ilya Ivanov, a legendary Russian athlete of the previous generation.

'Anatole Ivanov! '

'Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa—'

Applause cheered, the music dissipated, and the boy who finished his game was different from his coach. He smiled brightly after hearing the support rolling down from the stands around him, and his dark green eyes were full of excitement.

At the entrance and exit of the arena, Ilya Ivanov, who was dressed in a formal suit, looked as cold as ever.Looking calmly at the center of the arena, the disciples thanked the enthusiastic audience, and waited for a full 2 ​​minutes to welcome back the "Holy Son" who had successfully completed his debut in the adult group, and took him to the equal division a few meters away to sit down.

then.

Considering the important status of the head coach, he hesitated whether he should give some encouragement to his disciples?After all, he really played well just now.

But, how to say.

Thinking that this was just a race, he felt that it would be better not to say those words too early, and it would be better to wait for the kid to make it to the finals and face difficulties.

Chinese Louis Watts!

Ah...Even if he was sure that his disciple could not defeat an opponent of that level, he still wanted his young successor to have a try.

' Anatoly Ivanov, the short program was scored. '

Thoughts flashed, eyes intertwined, Ilya patted Anatoly's immature shoulders thoughtfully in his eyes, and helped him put on the sportswear jacket hanging on his arm, and the announcer who got the referee's score spoke out. The sound of more than 1 spectators in the stadium quickly weakened.

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

'wow! ? '
