ice emperor

The free skating technical movements listed one by one, both in Canada and abroad, figure skating enthusiasts and ordinary spectators who were so shocked that they completely lost their voices.

At 6:[-], the ice pouring was over, and the live broadcast screen quickly switched. The last group of six athletes to compete stepped onto the ice rink, preparing for the final round of [-]-minute warm-up.At the same time, the on-site announcer began to introduce their names and nationalities according to the order of appearance. In the stands on the four sides of the southeast and northwest, [-] spectators screamed like a torrent of applause, and in an instant, the free skating in the Pacific Stadium began. The brewing arena atmosphere detonated.

'AN! '

'Johnny! '

'An Yi! '

'Ah ah ah ah ah! ! '

"Ladies and gentlemen, No. 20th Vancouver Winter Olympic Games, figure skating men's single free skating, the last group of athletes to participate in the competition."

wow wow wow.

"Roman Igrashevich, From Russia."

"Jason Liu, From Canada."

'Jason! ! '

"Anatole Ivanov, From Russia."

"Kosuke Shimada, From Japan."

Hush huh huh.

"Johnny Wassenberg, From Canada!"

'Johnny! ! '

"Louis Watts (YIAN), From China!"

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ! '

'AN! ! '

'Louis!Louis!Louis! ! '

'An Yi!Come on!Come on, come on, come on! ! ! '

'...'

wow wow wow.

The announcer's voice fell, thunderous applause and shouts descended, and finally waved to the audience in the stands. An Yi and Johnny, who caused the riot, put down their arms and looked at each other with a smile, nodded and then slipped away.

The 6-minute countdown begins, the camera lens of the stadium zooms out, commentators and narrators from dozens of countries and regions in the broadcast area on the south side of the stand, seize the last bit of time to popularize science to the audience who are watching the live broadcast of the game in their respective countries, and the last group of six athletes represented weight.

There are only two main protagonists introduced in the open and in the dark, the Chinese player An Yi and the Canadian player Johnny Wasenberg, and there is only one center of discussion. What will the two contribute in today's last game of their careers? Performance.

'CCTV, CCTV. '

'[-]:[-] pm on the [-]th local time in Vancouver, [-]:[-] am on the [-]th Beijing time, good afternoon, audience friends, the most interesting hour of this Winter Olympic Games has come before you. '

During the warm-up time, Hu Yue in the broadcast area overlooked the white ice rink where there were only six figures shuttling under the stage. A pair of beautiful eyes closely followed the figure who was skating along the edge of the ice rink at a constant speed. .

'The six athletes in this group are old, middle-aged and young. There are famous players who have been famous for a long time, and there are also rookies who have proved themselves soon.But the biggest suspense is only one, that is, whether Chinese player An Yi can successfully defend his title again, win the Winter Olympics in history, and achieve three consecutive gold medals in men's figure skating.Use the last game of your entire sports career to achieve your persistence and brilliance in the past 12 years. '

'Yes, what Hu Yue said is correct. At this point in the competition, I believe that the domestic audience must be worried about An Yi, but I still can't help but sing the opposite, thinking that An Yi's gold medal is a sure thing. '

After the short program, Chen Jiankai, who is still serving as the commentator of the free skating today, took the lead from Hu Yue, and pointed at the other party's obvious disapproval, implying that he should not talk too much, and it has never been so easy to unload the burden around him His wife, Wang Xinyue, looked at each other and smiled.

'Why would I say that?I don't know if the audience friends remember what I said about An Yi in the short program competition on the [-]th?Believe me, my friends, our figure skating men's singles figure skating brother, the king who ruled the ice rink from the very beginning of his sports career, no matter how tense the atmosphere on the arena, no matter how special the meaning of today's competition is, we will continue to follow the usual pattern. Treating them the same way will never let foreign objects affect you. '

'What do we need to do?Believe in him, bless him, and wait for the moment when he stands on the podium of the Winter Olympic Games champion for the third time.Finally, I bid farewell to the emperor who loved him all over the world with the greatest victory. '

'...'

"Gentlemen, the 6-minute warm-up time is over, please leave the ice rink except for the first player to compete. Russian players..."

At 4 minutes and 5 minutes, the shouts and applause on the field started again, and the 6-minute warm-up ended with the voices of commentators from various countries and regions in the broadcast area commenting on the field in real time.

At [-]:[-], An Yi returned to the backcourt preparation area and sat down in the national team sportswear jacket, and the frontcourt game officially started.

Previously evaluated by countless figure skating enthusiasts and industry insiders, the Mesozoic Russians who were lucky enough to get into the last group fought to prove themselves and tried their best to sacrifice the most difficult level of figure skating practice so far.

However, the god of fate obviously didn't favor him today. He made a serious mistake in the back-to-back quadruple jump at the beginning of the game.After the second key movement, the quadruple jump on the outside point is followed by the triple axel on the outside point. When the quadruple jump slides out, the center of gravity of the blade is shifted with one hand on the ice blade, even though it seems to be remedied and then connected to the planned three times. Zhou Tiao, because of his irrationality, the whole movement changed from [-]T+[-]T to [-]T+[-]T+SEQ with a [-]% discount on basic points.

As for the future performance...

Well, An Yi stopped paying attention, and turned his attention not far away, staring at his Kosuke Shimada.

How should I put it, the child gave him the feeling that the whole person was obviously holding back his energy from the inside out.

"..."

"Louis, what are you looking at?"

The four eyes met and communicated silently. After a few minutes, An Yi suddenly heard Joyce's voice, and finally gave Shimada Kosuke a cheering mouth to retract his gaze, and moved his gaze to deal with Johnny's affairs, and rushed over on James Joyce who directed him.

At this moment, with just one glance, An Yi's consciousness flickered slightly, and he went back in time, thinking of many things about the two of them in the past.

For example, I "attacked" him under the control of the system, and I successfully jumped out of the Axel triple axel jump, the back-to-outside quadruple jump, and the back-to-inner quadruple jump. The joy on his face.

And, the night he entrusted his unrealized dream to him, he was in the hospital after the Madrid Grand Prix performance, forcing him to abide by the strictness of the new "rules of the game" between master and apprentice, scene after scene, obviously so far away, feeling yet so close.

At this moment, sitting here, recalling everything that happened in the ten years since he came to this world.It can only be said... being able to get to know him again and get his teachings is completely as lucky as starting a new life, getting to know parents, relatives, friends and brothers again.He could no longer imagine what his new life would be like without his guidance.

Although it seems that I have thanked him many times before, the meaning is very different today.So, again.Mr. James Joyce, it is great to be in this world and to be your disciple.

"...Joyce, thank you."

boo.

"Oh?!! My good boy, what's wrong with you? Do you like your head coach so much?"

All the way from the small world of Canada to An Yi's side, the former Canadian figure skating men's singles legend James Joyce, who used to be tall and handsome, is now fat, harmonious and friendly His shoulders were heavy, his ears caught a thank you, and he felt a touch of warmth and softness on his right cheek.

next second.

His face hurt, and he swished a few arrows. Joyce reacted and made a joke casually. He further opened his arms and embraced An Yi in front of him in front of the CBC camera in the backfield.

At the same time, a certain middle-aged man who was glancing at a certain middle-aged man here from a distance secretly cast a stern eye, and expressed it with actions, look, as expected, little Louis still loves and trusts me the most. Occupy the natural advantage of blood.The angry An Zexian almost jumped up, and fought the villain who took away his son for [-] rounds. An Yi, who saw the two fighting openly and secretly, couldn't laugh or cry.

"Russian player, Roman Igrashevich, after the free skate, the result is..."

"Canadian player, Jason Liu, after the free skating, the result is..."

'The Russian skater, Anatoly Ivanov, after the free skating is...'

15 minutes, 10 minutes, time passed, the last group of top three skaters finished their respective free skating competitions.

At 35:[-], the fourth place came out. Encouraged by An Yi, Kosuke Shimada, who secretly vowed that he would never fail, stood on the field and burned himself.

Accompanied by the live audience, the Japanese NHK commentators in the broadcast area burst into exclamation. As soon as they appeared on the stage, they used the rear outer loop to jump around, the rear outer toe quadruple jump, and then the rear toe triple axel. Launch an impact on the first Winter Olympic medal in his career.

In the backcourt preparation area, the free skating program displayed on the real-time screen entered the second half. An Yigang gave applause for the front disciple on the ice after successfully completing the inner knot ring quadruple jump and then the outer point triple axel. Joyce, who was watching the game, stood up suddenly and walked towards Johnny who had already stepped out of the position of the Canadian delegation. Behind the two of them, they turned into the athlete's channel.

While exhaling and inhaling, the ear heard the sound of music becoming clearer and clearer, and the blood began to boil, and the desire to successfully complete the game and end the career perfectly surged violently.

In an instant, there was only one thought left in his mind.

Is it finally here, the decisive battle?

very good!

No matter today's opponent is Johnny or his former self, he will win!Beyond!Keep the distance!

'Kosuke Shimada. '

Hush huh huh.

The music fell and the applause sounded. Although there were mistakes in the whole set of free skating, the Japanese boy who did not conceal his flaws, stood in the middle of the ice rink panting, waved his hands and bowed to thank the audience for their support. Knowing that An Yi was behind him, Johnny, who had not spoken before, suddenly Looking back, he raised his palm and finished a high-five with An Yi, who was looking at him with a smile. After Shimada Kosuke quit the arena and sat in the equal division, he stepped on the ice, pulling the screams of the fans in the stands around him, circling The field skating waits for the race to start.

Outside the protective wall of the ice rink, An Yi looked at him full of vigor and confidence, smiling unabated and filled with emotion.

Just like lamenting how lucky I was to meet James Joyce in this life, I went back in time in a second and went back to my childhood.

Johnny, Johnny, Johnny.

You who were immature, hot-blooded and reckless, stubborn and brave, after more than ten years, you have long been unable to separate from your life.

Is it love?

I will give you an answer after this Winter Olympic Games is completely over. It's really hard for you to endure so much for so many years...

'A player from Japan, Kosuke Shimada, after the free skating was . '

'The results of the competition will appear soon. Can Xingsuke-kun defeat Russia's Anatoly and win this precious Olympic medal?he--'

The on-site announcer loudly announced the mark of the free skating results. Kosuke Shimada, whose eyes were glued to the big screen in the arena in the waiting area, had his heart beating faster. In the broadcast area, the two commentators of NHK, a man and a woman, had their hearts hanging in their throats.

'Technical score: [-], program content score: [-].Total free skating score: [-], Winter Olympic total score: [-], Rank: [-]. '

'Ah ah ah ah ah! ! !Xingsuke won the first place!Got first! ! '

In the broadcast area, the NHK commentator, who had received the biggest surprise of the game, roared without image.

'Although this is only temporary, it doesn't matter!Even if there are two almost invincible kings after Kosuke-kun, Kosuke-kun still created a miracle! '

Kosuke Shimada, the No.20 [-]st Winter Olympic Games, figure skating men's singles bronze medalist!Yes!Today, he has created the history of men's singles in Japanese figure skating! ! '

'...'

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

'Johnny! ! '

Boom boom boom.

When Kosuke Shimada finished skating and waited until he scored, he was suddenly immersed in the joy of winning his first Winter Olympic medal in his career. Johnny, who had stood on the ice rink two minutes ago and was preparing for the competition, felt that the time was almost up, so he shook his kiss vigorously. The hand of the head coach James Joyce like a father, a pair of big eyes shining brightly, lingered on An Yi for a moment, and he pushed his palm hard on the inside of the protective wall, leading the audience to shout, the announcer The voice that announced his nationality and name skated to the center of the ice rink to stand still, ready to start his last official 'performance' before retiring.

The 30-second countdown begins.

Tracey Milos, who was in the broadcast area, was hurrying up to announce the fact that Johnny's new free skating music was selected from the suite of the masterpiece "Planet" by British composer Gustav Holst.

A 20-second countdown proceeds.

An Yi, who had been followed by two cameras, walked to the southwest corner of the ice rink near another entrance and stopped, silently sending his blessings.

Ten seconds countdown.

nine seconds.

eight seconds.

seven seconds.

His heart language.

"Planet" suite Johnny.

Over the years, since you have been called the son of the sun by figure skating enthusiasts all over the world, I hope you shine like a star in today's free skating competition.

Do your best, this is your last chance to defeat me.

I.

An Yi!

Waiting to witness how you shine, heat up, light up this arena, light up the entire figure skating world.

dong dong dong-

The countdown in the last few seconds ended, the rumbling drums sounded, and the powerful symphony played.

The timpani plays a simple, direct and almost outrageous forte, which belongs to Johnny's free slide.

In 15 seconds, he simply and efficiently pedaled to accelerate, and there was no communication with the scoring referee in the north stand. He scraped to the east side of the ice rink, touched the ice with the teeth of his right foot without warning, and took off with force from the rear outer edge of his left foot, soaring into the sky Spin around to fall and slide out.He simply and neatly executed the first technical movement of the whole set of free skating, hooking quadruple jumps.

then.

Intense drums kept beating, and the progressive melody in the background music was getting faster and faster. He melted into the music with a cold face, effortlessly swaying his whole body with an aggressive, oppressive aura that made people breathless, No .40 seconds, jumping around the back inner knot ring followed by a triple axel jump on the back outer ice point, one minute and 15 seconds, jumping around the back outer knot ring, jumping and changing feet.

The live audience, Canada, and the audience who are watching this visual feast all over the world are not given any breathing time, and they are pulled together with the skates under their feet into an endless stream, one wave after another, linking the previous and the next, as if there is no end In the continuous steps, they sang majestic hymns at the same time, praised his bravery, and bowed down under his mighty momentum.

With an almost decisive strength and enthusiasm, it interprets spring thunder, strong wind, heavy rain, lightning, and turns into all things, praising the magnificence and greatness of life!

'QuadLutz, TripleToeLoop, the fourth quadruple jump!incredible!Still unbelievably simple and efficient! ! '

The free skating continued and entered the second half. The professional commentators in the broadcast area exclaimed one after another. They couldn't bear the excitement in their hearts. Once again, together with the athletes in the rest area, they realized what the gap was. .

Before the start of the game, all of them knew that the famous Canadian Johnny Wasenberg was very strong, but it was the first time they saw him so strong.

what happened to him?

Did he realize that this was the last game of his career, or was he inspired by the unprecedented Chinese Axel quadruple jump and wanted to challenge himself?

No matter what it is, the feeling he showed on the field is really amazing and fascinating. It can be said that he has been reborn and a different person!

'Quad Flip! '

'Quad Toe Loop! '

'Quad Toe Loop, Half Loop, Triple Flip! ! '

Hoarse, with eyes like copper bells, Tracy Milos in the CBCSPORTS broadcast area pulled her vocal cords and ignored the ridiculous expression of her partner Joe Baker who was shocked to the point of stupidity. The performance of Johnny's amazing world stimulated the consciousness almost out of the body.

'Seven sets of quadruple jumps!Not a single tiny mistake!Not once!There is less than one minute and 30 seconds left before the end of this free skating program that is destined to be included in the classic program database by the ISU International Skating Federation, and only the last set of Axel triple axel is left!Once it is completed, I don't know how high Johnny will push the technical score! [-] points? !God bears witness, this may not be a dream! ! '

The music continued to advance, and the free skating music that had set the grand tone from the beginning of the free skating was slightly weakened. The whole world was fortunate to see this program, and the hundreds of millions of viewers unconsciously clenched their fists and held their breath, finally on the ice. Look for opportunities to calm the nerves a bit as you begin your jump squat spins and combined spins.

But at the same time, they couldn't help wondering why the brown-blond man on the ice would follow the squat spin with the joint spin that is usually performed at the end of the program.

Is it because I have performed seven quadruple jumps crazily before, and I have no physical strength to complete the last Axel triple axel to take the opportunity to recover my strength?

Hmm... After much deliberation, it can only be the reason——

dong dong dong! !

Eh? !

In the thinking of countless professionals and non-professionals, Johnny in the center of the ice rink completed the last two sets of spins, slid his skates to the west side and stood facing the auditorium.

35 seconds to the end of the free skating.

34 seconds.

33 seconds.

Snapped!

He stretched out his right hand and pointed to the outside of the protective wall. His sweaty face, violently heaving chest, and eyes filled with strong emotions fell into An Yi's eyes half a meter away.

Inhaling and exhaling, An Yi was stunned for a moment in the live broadcast around the world, and then gave a bright smile to his brother and friend.Clap, clap, clapping vigorously in conjunction with the rumbling drums sounding again in the background music, for the friends who have decided to challenge themselves.Silently expressing the hope that he can finally get the blessing he wishes.

brush.

With the skates under his feet spinning and kicking, Johnny is in a hot state, his body muscles are obviously sore and tired, but his mental will is still not satisfied. He has decided to challenge himself in this most important international competition.

In the sound of heavy and powerful music, he didn't think about what would happen if he failed, just like a warrior who led the troops to charge on the battlefield, once he decided to do it, he would never look back.

In an extremely focused state of mind, only one thought flashed across the sky-look at Louis, Joyce, Dad, the people who love me in the world.

This is me.

Johnny Wassenberg.

Your Johnny the Great, the eternal sun of Canadian ice! !

rumbling.

The drums burst out, and the sequence of steps is arranged.

The free skating performance that is about to end, the career that is about to end, and the warm sun that is about to sink below the horizon, passion and emotion collide fiercely, sparks fly, Johnny on the ice steps on the seemingly simple footwork, swaying his body The light and heat of the 'last', enthusiastic dancing, cheerful laughter, vast and bright energy full of bright hope surrounded him, and the world full of vitality and enthusiasm under the sky spread all over his footprints.

The French horn sounded.

The timpani rises and falls, with sounds of different strengths and weaknesses, like the twinkling stars looming in the sky.

Frostflakes splashed, and he slid along the central axis of the ice rink from west to east after completing a series of successive steps that resembled dances rather than footwork. The outer edge supports the body and slides from the east side of the ice rink to the middle of the rink.

Following Joyce's teachings over the years, An Yi has performed countless body postures in the video. The front half of the ice blade on the left foot is raised and the second half of the heel is kept sliding on the outer edge. Sliding, the right leg swings from the back to the front by the inertia of the turn, the arms swing from bottom to top, the left leg bends, and the front outer edge is pushed outwards to take off, bringing the audience's uncontrollable screams, Jump into the sky and start spinning.

chapped.

Amid the extremely clear sound of ice breaking, he was wearing a pure black costume and flew counterclockwise.

First lap and a half.

Second and a half laps.

Third and a half laps.

Altitude drops.

Fourth and a half laps.

The rear outer edge of the right foot landed on the ice, shook for a while but did not fall, stretched the left leg and left foot back and slid out for three seconds, turned around and raised his arms and roared silently.

Exactly.

Together with the skating music that climbed to the peak in the Pacific Gymnasium and stopped abruptly in the blink of an eye, it stopped on the ice and ended the four-minute and 40-second free skating performance.

'...'

"Whoohoo-"

His chest was heaving rapidly and violently, and his whole body was numb. Johnny, who didn't know what expression he had now, hadn't realized what kind of feat he had accomplished, and stood motionless on the left third of the arena, breathing calmly. .

next moment.

He was awakened by the amazed and rising exclamations of the [-] spectators at the scene.

He blinked, and belatedly looked towards the northwest corner of the protective wall. Joyce, who jumped up on the spot and punched excitedly, then turned to An Yi, who was lying on the top of the protective wall and whistling wildly for him in the southwest corner.I finally realized that I had really accomplished that move, the Axel quadruple jump, which most figure skaters would not dare to imagine.

So, what does this mean?

Is he really the strongest on the surface, second only to the figure skating god?

Hahaha, this is really really good.

Thinking about it now, this action doesn't seem too difficult. I believe he will do better in the future.

As for now, let him enjoy the joy after the Clean program.

"Yes!"

"Yes!!"

"Yes!!!"

'Johnny Wasserburg—'

'Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh' ! ! ! '

'Oh, God!Oh, God!Johnny! ! !you did it!You really did it! ! ! '

The applause was like thunder, and Cindy Zelaya in the west stand burst into tears, crying without image, but she didn't care, and clapped desperately to praise her best friend who grew up with her.

Everyone.

She dared to say that Louis, who was also very happy beside the ice rink, didn't understand how hard the man on the field had put in to get to where he is today!

finally!Today, he finally succeeded and achieved what he had always wanted to do!

Regardless of whether he will win the championship of this Winter Olympic Games in the end, he is the undoubted winner!

nobody!No one in the world can use vicious words such as 'unpredictable runner-up', 'good luck to pick up an Olympic gold medal', 'only the Chinese can win the world championship gold medal when the Chinese are not around', etc. Rate him! !

'Oh, God! '

'Oh, God! ! '

'Oh, God! ! ! '

'QuadAxel Joe Baker!Did you see it!It is QuadAxel! !Johnny did an amazing eight quadruple jumps, including a QuadAxeal! ! ! '

Amidst the rumbling sound, Trish Milos in the broadcast area yelled to upgrade, completely forgot about her commentary work, like a crazy fan, incoherently praised the man's free skating performance on the ice rink just now.

On the other hand, Joe Baker's expression, which has always been indifferent to Johnny.

Numb and stupefied, with a few worries in disbelief, before the start of the competition, I thought that Kiss Louis led by [-] points in the short program, and the determination that he would not lose the gold medal even if he failed the eight quadruple jumps in the free skating challenge has long since dissipated. Who is to blame? ?Blame the Canadian hero who exited the ice rink on the big screen and hugged his idol tightly. His performance in free skating was too amazing, far beyond him... No, should it be said that it was the expectations of audiences all over the world?

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

'Johnny! ! '

'Son of the Sun! ! '

'...'

Hush huh huh.

"Good job man, from now on, enjoy the leisure life after retirement. I'll be with you in 10 minutes."

On the side of the ice rink, after handing over to Johnny the Great from Joyce's arms, An Yi didn't seem to see the faces of the staff members of the nearby national team who swallowed Coptis chinensis, and smiled and hugged his friend vigorously to express himself In congratulations, they slapped each other once, then bent over and took off the skate covers on the soles of their feet and stepped onto the field.

The applause and cheers intensified. He slid a distance between the gift bouquets on the ice rink to find his senses. He returned to the old man with a sober face and a piece of paper on his forehead that said, "The situation is very critical and something is not good". In front of his father An Zexian.

He held his broad and strong hand without any tension, nodded and smiled at him and James Joyce who was looking at him, and finally took a look at the partition a few meters away, and sat on the seat accompanied by officials of the Canadian delegation Johnny, who was waiting for his free skating score, closed his eyes to adjust his breathing rhythm, and recalled for the last time the thirteen technical movements planned to be completed in the free skating competition.

During the process, as a normal person, of course he couldn't avoid it. He would definitely think of his friend's wonderful performance just now, which was as stunning and perfect as a cosmic explosion.

but!If that guy thinks that he can beat him with such a set of programs, he is very wrong.

who is he.

Absolute emperor, peace of mind, all kinds of titles are not called for nothing.

Since that guy has performed the beauty of power to the extreme just now, then he will use his own way to tell the world what is meant by endless sighs and reluctance, dreams that do not want to wake up.

'...'

'Canada, Jonny Wassenberg, after the free skate. '

Thinking of opening his eyes here, An Yi's blue eyes were filled with melancholy. At the same time, the on-site announcer who got Johnny's free skating score announced his free skating score aloud.

'Technical score: [-]. '

'wow? ! '

'Program content points: [-]. '

! ! ? ?

'Total score in free skating: [-], total score in Winter Olympics: [-], Rank: [-]. A new world record! '

wow! ! ? ?
