chapped.

"The way to enter is wrong! The arc of the inner edge of the left foot should be as long as possible. Even if the right arm has landed on the ice with the right foot, before pressing the force to the outer edge and cooperating with the inner edge of the left foot to take off, it will not Must always be behind you."

"Pay attention to the action of tightening the arm! It is best to cooperate with the action of cutting the blade of the right foot into the ice surface obliquely. Very good! The inner edge of the left foot slides in to prepare for take-off, and the ice blade of the right foot falls on the ice. The knee joint bends to support the body , imagine that the blade of the left foot slides out a circular arc with the right foot as the center of the circle, the blade of the right foot is pressed to the right, the blade rubs against the ice surface, the left leg sinks, the center of gravity of the body is lowered, the left arm is backward, the right arm is forward, and the left foot is stretched Forced by the inertia generated by the sliding arm, while jumping up and spinning—"

"Great job Xingsuke! Although you still failed to fall this time, you have already turned around in the air for four weeks. Keep working hard, and I believe that you will be able to master this movement on the basis of the present."

"Yes!"

chap!

10:30, [-] o'clock, repeat the practice, repeat the practice, the youth group players who will have the free skating finals in the ice rink tomorrow afternoon leave one after another, according to the method taught by An Yi, Shimada Kosuke modified the way of entering the quadruple jump , The execution of this action becomes more and more experienced.

Thanks to An Yi's teaching and correction, for the first time, he felt that his progress was so obvious and so fast.As long as every attempt to jump is performed in front of An Yi, he will be informed of even the smallest mistakes in the first time.

This kind of efficiency is unimaginable for the previous coaches, because the two people's understanding of movements is not at the same level.

Of course, his thinking like this doesn't mean that coach Fukada Yako's coaching level is not enough, but that she feels that she is not suitable for entering the adult group.

Learning the basics under her hands, polishing the sliding skills is very good and in place, but the more difficult quadruple jump...Although it should not be said like this, but really, her understanding of this level of movement is still at the simplest back and outside Point the ice and jump around.

brush--

After finishing an attempt, he stopped on the ice and rested for 1 minute to start again. Kosuke Shimada suppressed the thoughts that came into his mind as the training progressed, glanced at An Yi who was leaning on the northern protective wall, and stepped on the ice for an unknown number of times. Turn three and slide backwards to prepare for take-off.

In this process, he has completely gotten used to the entry method taught by An Yi, strictly followed every key point pointed out by An Yi, and strived to be [-]% perfect before the start of the jump.

Then, after the inner edge of his left foot drew an arc centered on the right foot of the falling ice, he pressed his right ankle outwards, and the rear inner edge of his left foot behind him tilted close to the ice surface and jumped up forcefully. With the power generated by 'shoveling' into the ice layer with two ice skates, the two arms swung and hugged tightly in front of the chest, and flew into the air and rotated counterclockwise.

Whoosh, whoosh, the sound of breaking wind came, and he felt as if he caught the trajectory of the air current passing over his body while turning.

The first lap, the second lap, the third lap, and the fourth lap, he didn't even figure out the specific situation, and his body instinctively landed after turning for the required number of weeks, using the rear outer edge of his right foot to land on the ice smoothly Stepping out, the left leg and left foot are stretched open, which lengthens the visual effect of the entire jumping action.

What does this mean?

This action is complete?

This is how the quadruple jump that has blocked him for more than a year has been completed? !

is it hard?

No, it's not that hard!

But why before he ran to ask Ansama to teach him today, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't jump out?

"Wow~quadsalcow. Congratulations, Kosuke-kun, you made it."

"I, I succeeded? I... I really succeeded?"

Kosuke Shimada, who caught An Yi's congratulations at the end of the jump and slid out of the finish line, still couldn't believe it.

"Just learned it like this? No, no, it's probably just an accident! Please wait a moment, Ansama, I have to try again, I have to try again!"

Success brings joy, success brings confidence and motivation. Kosuke Shimada, who successfully jumped out of the first quadruple jump in his career, made persistent efforts, and searched for the answer for the second and third verifications.

Not far away, An Yi looked at the little guy with the mood of someone who had passed by, forgetting his tiredness and keeping trying.After watching him try ten times in a row, he succeeded in the inner knot ring quadruple jump three times, which proves that he has indeed basically mastered this jump.

The rest is to keep practicing and accumulating proficiency to further increase the success rate. If you want to formally apply this technical action in the game instead of simply betting on probability, the success rate when performing this jump must be at least 70.00%.

According to the current progress, it is impossible to achieve it the day after tomorrow, and it is very difficult for him to do it himself.

At that time, it will be up to the little guy to decide whether to fight or not, but the result... Ha, he can already predict it now.

"Ansama!"

Wow.

While meditating, he was so excited that some broken voices rang in his ears. A black shadow flashed in front of An Yi's eyes, his chest and shoulders were heavy, and Shimada Kosuke, who had verified the answer and confirmed that he had really crossed the [-]S barrier, hugged him.

Dazed for a moment, he moved his neck and let go of the black hair near the tip of his nose. After An Yi came back to his senses, he smiled in a low voice, hugged Shimada Kosuke's body and patted him on the back. The staff on the east side of the field, who was gesturing to this side to sweep the ice, reminded the overjoyed boy and stepped back outside the field with his arms around his shoulders.

Buzzing, the sound of the ice pouring truck started to turn from low to loud, looking closely, Kosuke Shimada, who finally realized what he had done in the past few minutes, smiled.

With the lowered head, flushed cheeks, and two ears that were almost transparent by the boiling blood, he looked at him lying on the side of the protective wall and shook his head helplessly, feeling that this child was a bit too shy.

It's not okay for a boy to react like that all the time.It would be great if he could show his aura on the court for three points, at least the two of them won't be embarrassed when they get along.

"...Xingsuke-kun, are you tired after training for so long? Choose one from mineral water, fruit juice, coffee, cake, snack, or midnight snack. I'll treat you."

"No, no, Ann sama, how can I let you entertain me? I should repay you. I'm sorry, it was my negligence. Please wait a moment, I will leave for a while. Then contact the hotel service staff and let them prepare Snacks and drinks."

A moment ago, he was deeply trapped in the vortex of self-loathing and couldn't extricate himself, because of a word An Yi said, Kosuke Shimada, who realized what he had overlooked, immediately sobered up.

Respectfully bowed and said sorry, he grabbed the skate cover and put it on indiscriminately, turned around and ran towards the exit of the training ground.

But I didn't expect a plop, this little guy who was flustered because of nervousness, fell on the ground under An Yi's dumbfounding gaze. Although he immediately got up from the ground, the red color that quickly spread to the back of his neck still betrayed him The mood at this time.

Look at An Yi again.

After experiencing this episode, after seeing Kosuke Shimada leave, he lay back on his seat and began to think about the free skating finals the day after tomorrow, this season and all the competitions before retirement.

I have been hesitant to practice for so long. Although I have never encountered a situation where I have to use it, shouldn't it be time to find an opportunity to show Axel's quadruple jump?

Calculating the time, there are really not a few years left. If you don't use it quickly, it will be useless if he doesn't dance enough when the Vancouver Winter Olympics is over.

He has never participated in commercial performances, performing in performance skating and ordinary practice feels completely different from performing in formal international competitions.

Besides, in order to promote the healthy and rapid development of this project again, the ISU and athletes from various countries who often make trouble for him also need new "surprises" and "motivation".How about just making the first jump at the World Championships in March?Hmm... It's a good idea, it's such a happy decision.

"An, An-sama, I, huh, huh, huh, I'm back."

In the midst of deep thought, footsteps came from far to near, and he ran out of the training ground without thinking, only to remember that Kosuke Shimada, who didn't bring his mobile phone or money, rushed to the front desk of the hotel stubbornly and ordered a bunch of food and drinks that he thought An Yi might like. After 10 minutes, he returned to the training ground with the hotel waiter pushing the dining car.

Following his voice, An Yi felt very helpless after seeing the pile of things on the dining car.

I started to complain irresistibly in my mind, knowing that you are a kid from a rich family, but do you need to be so exaggerated?Leaving aside the pile of various snacks, how much is the bunch of grapes alone?Kosuke Shimada, money is not spent like this, you prodigal son.

"An sama?"

"...It's okay, I'll let you spend the money."

Shaking his head and pressing the idea of ​​preaching, An Yi and Shimada Kosuke started chatting with some snacks after the hotel staff left. Nearly half an hour later, An Yi also considered Shimada Kosuke's career plan and officially entered adulthood I have a more accurate understanding of the first Olympic cycle goal I met after the group.

The detailed content is in Shimada Kosuke's own words, since he is lucky to catch up with the Olympic cycle, he will not limit his goal to domestic but international.

Grand Prix champion, World Championship champion, Olympic champion, he will not expect extravagantly, as long as he can enter the final group of free skating in the [-] Vancouver Winter Olympics, it will be a victory for him.

In order to achieve this goal, in recent years, he must improve his technical level as soon as possible, leaving behind Miyazaki Hayato and other domestic predecessors, and establishing his position in the men's figure skating circle.

Only in that way, after he obtains the right to represent Japan, will he be eligible to participate in the fierce Olympic competition and realize the unrealistic ideal in his heart.

It is impossible for An Yi to have a gold medal, but what about a silver medal?What about the bronze medal?

No matter which one you get, it means a breakthrough for him and the country he represents.To put it bluntly, by that time, he will definitely become a national hero, just like An Yi who once created glorious history.

"..."

Want to compete in the [-] Olympics, maybe even win a medal?

It seems that even if there are no system tasks, in order not to make the future matches too boring, I must spend some energy to help... no, it should be said to be training, training you, Shimada Kosuke-kun.

"Boy, are you tired? If not, how about showing me the program you plan to skate during the free skating in the finals?"

"An sama?"

Hearing An Yi's request, Shimada Kosuke, who had just picked up the glass to drink juice, looked at him in confusion.

"Don't know what I mean? Let's put it this way, in order to ensure that you can beat Anatoly Ivanov and Jason Liu, I am going to see what you need to improve in your free skating program. How, would you like to? If No, I won't force-"

"No! Ansama who is willing, of course! Such a precious opportunity came to me, how could I just lose it. Please, please help me!"
