ice emperor

"We can see that Louis, the last player in the fourth group and ranked No.1 after skating the short program, stepped onto the ice rink."

After the on-site announcer reported An Yi's nationality and name after Johnny Wassenberg's score, amidst warm applause, the audience at the scene and in front of the TV, including Joe Baker, who hosted the commentary program in the live broadcast room, all temporarily Pulling away the emotions from Johnny's wonderful performance just now, he began to pay attention to the men's singles free skating competition, the last skater to enter the field.

"But, God, please forgive me, I don't know how to express it. Before little Louis, Johnny's performance was so perfect, almost flawless, both in terms of difficulty and performance, far beyond his age, absolutely top level I am very worried about how Louis, who played last, will surpass him."

In the camera, the expression on Joe Baker's face is the same as his voice, with a hint of loss and sadness, like a typical fan boy, worried about his favorite idol.

"I think Louis may also go all out in this free skate? I believe that his good friend, Johnny Wassenberg, will definitely inspire him. Please pay attention to the expression in the close-up of his face , eyes. There is no doubt that we will enjoy a wonderful free skating program next."

At the same time when Joe Baker was analyzing the game in the live broadcast room, he slid to the middle of the ice rink, his body relaxed, his eyes were empty, he looked directly at the referee's seat, and he did not look at the nine referees. An Yi smiled and looked forward , the corners of his mouth moved and his smile deepened.

Just at this time, the soothing and melodious piano sound, like the sound of gurgling water, trickled into the hearts of the audience as An Yi turned around on the ice rink and looked back. , the tender eyes that are tired of the dead, so strong that people feel drunk and dreamy, unwilling to wake up, laughing with him, willingly let him take his heart away, and let him hold his hand.

With an indulgent and intoxicating smile, like the morning sun, An Yi skated on the ice, gradually increasing his speed, with the corners of his mouth raised and winking playfully as he passed the referee's seat.When turning around and speeding up to leave, his eyes swept over the audience in the stands, his right arm was stretched, palm facing upwards, and his right hand was spread out.

It was like an invitation, like a wait. A few seconds later, with the background music and the crisp knocking of the keys, the eyes lit up and the smile widened, revealing a few white teeth.

As if he got what he wanted, he exerted all his strength to use the blade, and the ice blade under his feet slid out exquisite and complicated patterns. Xiaotiao jumped in his heart, fell down and turned around, and the blade under his feet slid out two '3'-shaped arcs continuously on the ice surface, accompanied by Hearing the first stress note in the music, he slid into the movement head-on, the skate on his left foot landed on the ice, and he swung his right leg into the air.

With both arms raised, the body rotated for three and a half weeks in the air. When it fell, the arms swung downward, the rear outer edge of the right foot slid out, and the left leg took advantage of the trend.The skates landed on the ice naturally, and he clasped his arms around his chest and tightened them.When hugging the person in his heart into his arms, he took a big step smoothly.

The overall movement and the intoxication expressed in the first jump, that kind of love, that kind of passion, complement each other, making people feel immersive.The performance and movements were so vivid and exciting that he stunned all the people who were paying attention to him, and even made them forget to breathe and applaud.

The skating continued, An Yi changed the blade of the skates under his feet, stepped on the ice to speed up his slide, and danced with the people in front of him, around him, and in his heart.

Holding his hand, we strolled along the path by the lake where the willow trees are leaning, the piano is like ripples, and the sound is like waves.

Turn around, bend down, stretch your arms and pick up a handful of lake water.With a slight smile, the fingertips brushed against his lips, accompanied by the music notes that poured out his heart, his legs were crossed and he took off with the blade, and the triple axel in the rear outer knot was extremely light and agile, and it was so wonderful that he blended into his skating .

The music repeats this section of music repeatedly, and he tilts his neck slightly, leaving a smile and turning into a Yan-style rotation.

One circle, two circles, with the face up and eyes far away, looking at the 'blue sky and white clouds' above the head.I didn't even realize the expression on my face, with a little trance, satisfaction, unbelievable...

After eight laps, change feet and continue for eight laps. After the first rotation, the slide music style gradually changes.

As if realizing something, An Yi struggled faintly. Amid the faster and faster piano sounds, the inner edge of his left foot slid in, and the blade of his right foot hit the ice.

Accompanied by a series of cathartic melodies, with obvious sadness in his eyes, he flew into the air and spun three times.The outer edge of the right foot slid out of the ice, completing the key existence of the whole program. After the inside point of the ice 3f, Philip triple axel.

That is to say, from this jump, his free skating program lasted for four minutes and a few seconds. The style of performance and the atmosphere of the music changed from the gentle and sweet in the first half to the struggle, hesitation, helplessness and grief.

There are bursts of percussion in the sliding music, and the notes climb to peaks one after another.An Yi opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and clenched his fingers. With a self-deprecating smile, he made his last effort and jumped forward while struggling.

Axel three weeks!

Sliding out of the falling ice, the skate on the left foot fell, and then connected to the outer ring for a circle.The blades of both feet fell to the ice, and the legs were in a figure-eight shape, exerting force under the feet, tightening inward, and twisting the waist vigorously.

With his arms crossed and tightly clutching the upper arm of the other arm, his emotions exploded and he flew up, spinning around for three times in pain!The body fell down with the right foot and 'dragged' the body. When the body slid a large arc on the ice, the neck tilted slightly downward, and the corner of the mouth, which was filled with a sweet smile not long ago, pulled out an arc of frustration and helplessness.

The music beat suddenly slowed down, and the separation came suddenly.

An Yi slid, resigned to his fate, his eyes were watery, his nose was sore, and his throat was dry.

Taking off as if venting, I was still thinking when I connected to the second set of squatting rotations, what if I don’t accept or accept my fate?Some things are unavoidable and cannot be transferred by personal power.

Squat turn, switch feet, cross-legged, speed up.

He "cries" and "sorrows" in the rotation, he is lost and indulged in the rotation.

His eyes were dazed and confused, filled with regret and grief. In the end, he closed his eyelids exhaustedly, and bid farewell to all the past consciously.

Stubbornly, she turned her head to the side, gritted her teeth fiercely, and forced herself to forget, to let go.Following the sudden explosion, continuous piano accents, stepping on the ice to speed up the catharsis, the right foot landed on the ice and rotated two times on one foot, and the left leg landed on the ice with a strong sound to take off forcefully.

For the first time, the body ecstatically rotated around in mid-air and then fell down. It took less than half a second for the right foot to land on the ice, and the blade of the left foot hit the ice again to take off.Three weeks, three full weeks!Three weeks with a kind of determination!The connection appeared in front of the world for the first time after the quadruple jump of the rear inner knot he completed a second or two ago.

There was silence in the arena. No matter how wonderful his skating was and how good his performance was, all he could hear was the sound of background music and the crisp sound of his skates gliding across the ice.

An Yi devoted herself to showing everything about herself, dancing to the music, and conquering the audience with her performance charm.It seemed difficult to achieve, but he just did it, with 1 minute left in this free skating program.

The performance continued without paying attention, or in other words, did not notice the strangeness of the audience at all.After An Yi completed the 4s plus 3t jump, he obviously hadn't fully vented his emotions.

The rushing piano sound is still there, why not indulge yourself and climb to the peak once? !

fly, fly!

Forget the past, let go of the past, focus on the present, and look to the future!

Since you can’t change it, don’t worry about it. If you can’t forget it, neither you nor that other person will be free!

Taking off for the sixth time, the outer edge of the ice skate on his right foot slid in with his back. An Yi pursed his lips tightly, raised his arms, raised his head high, and at the same time stretched his left leg, stretching his body posture to the limit. on the ice.

A handful of crystal clear ice crystals splashed, and as he flew into the air, they were driven to spin by the strength of his body.One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps, when it fell, it hit his right leg, reflecting the crystal clear colored light.

The next moment, after doing this back and forth jump, An Yi seemed to finally feel that enough was enough. All the anger in his chest, and now, had been vented.

With a relieved expression, he turned to the footwork stage, walked back to the lakeside path that had brought him infinite beauty, walked, danced, spun and slid again, but found in a forced laugh that things have changed, even if he revisited the old place, he would only sigh , things are different.

The last jump, the hook for three circles, came suddenly at this moment.

It's like his mood, like he's reminiscing about the past through this similar action.

But the 'abruptness', which is completely different from the previous six jumps, is so obvious and strong that it wakes up all the audience immersed in his performance.

At that moment, they looked at each other, unable to figure out what happened to them just now, they covered their mouths and held their breath like a fool, watching An Yi on the ice slipping off the ice, and being brought into the last group of upright spins by the ending music.

Watching him change his posture, cruelly struggling with one foot landing on the ice, hooking the back of the ice skate with his right hand, looking back with sadness in his eyes, and pressing his left hand weakly on his heart, his face showed a cold, lonely, heart-like understanding .

Witnessing this scene with their own eyes, countless spectators and those who watched the live broadcast in front of the TV had their hearts blocked, their eyes flushed, and they couldn't control their emotions and shed tears.

At this moment, looking at the young man spinning silently on the ice, although they couldn't express the sourness in their hearts.But there is no doubt that they are regardless of gender, regardless of age, regardless of whether they appreciate the game to watch the excitement or know how to know the way.

They were all successful, and they were moved by the young man on the ice rink who skating with such a profound artistic conception, heart-pounding, technical performance, and artistic performance, which definitely far surpassed his peers and reached another height!Conquered!

"Jesus!"

"Unbelievable!!"

"I think, I think! Only God knows what we just went through!"

As the music fell, An Yi's figure stopped in the middle of the ice rink again.

Joe Baker, who was more awake than the audience at the scene, sat in the seat of the live broadcast room and waved his arms excitedly. He sighed three times in a second. Fifteen thousand spectators stopped in the stormy cheers and applause. I didn't realize that I was out of control and gave up the neutral position that should have been maintained. I laughed silently, and my eyes were locked on the ground. In the middle of the ice rink, after finishing his free skating program, An Yi was enjoying the audience and sending him various compliments.

In the live broadcast, An Yi's movements were kept similar to those of Kai Sliding, but the palm of his left hand was pressed against his heart with a lonely expression.

It wasn't until the scene was quiet for a few seconds that the enthusiasm of the audience broke out completely, and when they praised him with applause, shouting, whistle, and screaming, he regained consciousness from his free skating mood.

His eyes blinked, the corners of his mouth moved, and he showed a shy smile. He raised his left hand and waved to the audience, thanking them for their praise and support.

“This is my, oh, our Louis Watts. What he did in the free skate just now, it’s just amazing.

The scene cut, An Yi bowed and thanked the audience, interspersed with Joe Baker's passionate commentary, and led all the audience watching the cbcsports live program to review and analyze the free skating program that An Yi just performed.

"Friends who are familiar with music should be able to recognize that the music of Little Louis's free skating is adapted from Chopin's Etude No. [-] in E major. The content mainly describes a young first love, but it is obvious that our little Louis The free skating program not only changed, arranged, and recreated the music, but also added its own story and understanding in the interpretation of the music."

Once or twice, in the live broadcast, An Yi continued to thank the audience with applause after the performance, and Joe Baker's comments continued to deepen.

"Okay, the scene cuts to the slow motion of Louis' free skating. We can analyze his wonderful performance in the competition one by one."

"Oh! The first thing that appeared on the screen was his first jump, an Axel triple jump in and out of difficult footwork. Facing the slow-motion playback, what can I say about this wonderful movement ? It is so beautiful that it is suffocating, and the whole body is trembling, and there is no reason to deduct points."

The live broadcast screen advances, and the logo of this World Youth Championship flashes.The video signal sent back from the game site was transferred to the lens playback link.

There is no doubt that when everyone who sees this 3a and this jump through this video, no matter what they think in their hearts, they must admit that the evaluation of the host in charge of the live commentary is very pertinent.

Whether it is entering, taking off, landing on the ice, or gliding out of the connection, this movement is beautiful, complete and exquisite to the point of heinousness, and no one can fault it.

The second set of slow motion, the on-site director broadcasted to a group, integrated into the video of the triple jump in the gliding footwork.All the audience watching were mesmerized, immersed in An Yi's wonderful skating performance in every frame.

Whether it is the footwork under his feet or the gliding stage of his footwork, the expression on his face is intoxicated and enjoys, which arouses strong sympathy from the audience.Even that 'not important' triple jump included in this fluid footwork.Which part is the height that other athletes strive to achieve, but they can't understand or explain it.

In the third set of shots, Axel performed three rounds, followed by a round of outer rings, followed by three rounds of inner rings.

It is rare to be able to relive this wonderful shot again, what more could they ask for?

The fourth set of shots, the amazing quadruple jump in the back and inner knot, followed by the triple axel jump with the back and outer ice point.The fifth set of shots, jumping around the ice on the back and outside.Watching them lose their voices one by one, their hearts rose and fell with the jumping and falling of the boy in the picture.

Uncontrollable in my heart, a thought came to me at the same time - how could this be the World Youth Championship, the World Championship of the adult group, the last group of players, the difficulty may not be as high as the two children who played just now.

Although it is wrong to think so, they still have to say that comparing them with their peers is unfair to them and those peers at their level.

"This is the last technical move. Little Louis is sad and heartbroken, which makes people feel hopeless, and at the same time, it is so beautiful that it makes people forget the feeling of heartbreak."

"Referring to the body structure of men, let us calm down and appreciate this section carefully. It is so exciting that it can be directly printed in textbooks. As little Louis grows up a little bit, his body develops and his muscles grow. After a few years of this movement, I am afraid that it can only be recalled again through video playback."

Regrettably or intoxicated, Joe Baker sighed obsessively. An Yi, who was on the ice to thank the supporters, finally calmed down the enthusiastic audience. Joyce and An Zexian, who were excited, took the skates from the latter's hand and put them on. They opened their arms and gave them hugs one after another.

Afterwards, accompanied by the two of them, he sat on the equal score bench, gasped slightly to adjust his breathing, and waited for the nine referees to score.Thinking about how to evaluate myself as a referee when faced with a player slipping out of such a program during the game.

At this moment, on the large screen directly above the ice rink facing the auditorium on all sides, the screen suddenly switched to the backstage preparation area, and the figure of good friend Johnny Wasenberg appeared in the camera lens.

It was what he was doing that An Yi really didn't expect.

Originally, he thought that after his friend made such a suggestion, he would definitely refuse to accept it.But he didn't expect that someone would slap him in the face and tell him directly what it meant to keep his word.

"Haha, there was a small episode in the game. Our little Louis just sat in the first place and waited to score in the free skating. The scene suddenly switched to the backcourt. He finished skating in front of him and was temporarily ranked No.1. Johnny Wassenberg actually got down on his knees in front of the live camera lens, paying homage to his best friend for his amazing performance just now."

The reaction was quite quick. Just as the screen changed, An Yi was stunned, and the second after Johnny completed the bet, Joe Baker in the live broadcast room immediately made a comment and analyzed the reactions of the two boys in the screen.

"Oh, we can see that Little Louis was obviously very surprised. Before his friend made this move, he never thought of it. Conversely, as the lucky ones who witnessed the previous two free skates, we can also understand Johnny's respect for his friend. Sincere admiration."

There was a pause at this point, Joe Baker seemed to feel that such a comment was not enough, and added further after a few seconds of consideration.

"Compared to the performance of the free skating couple, in terms of difficulty, although Johnny also did two quadruple jumps in the free skating, they were all quadruples on the back and outside of the ice."

"In terms of artistic expression, Johnny tends to be serious and heavy. The performance is full of power, just like the late night where only faint stars can be seen. Louis tends to be delicate and vivid. Every movement, expression, and pause are like a painting. The details of the performance must be admitted to be richer, more fascinating and engaging, just like the morning light and dawn piercing the night."

As neutral and impartial as possible, Joe Baker tried his best to suppress the urge to sing praises for An Yi, reviewed and commented on it relatively objectively, and continued after the performance of Johnny and An Yi in the free skate.

"However, no matter what the final result of the competition is, the last two players in the free skating, Johnny Wassenberg and Louis Watts, believe that in the free skating just now, they both slid out the highest difficulty and most exciting performances. programme."

"Referring to the performance of the previous 22 players, we must say that the two of them are not suitable to participate in the World Youth Championship. I think the officials of the ISU International Skating Federation should let them enter the senior group in advance. Based on the two of them currently With his strength and his current age, it is definitely a nightmare for his other youth players."

I finally came to this conclusion with a smile. Another relatively slow scoring process by the on-site scoring referees was once again in exchange for urging applause from the [-] spectators.

Ten seconds later, just as An Yi was sitting on the waiting seat, admiring his father's anxious and tangled expression maliciously, the announcer's voice suddenly sounded.An Zexian, who was fidgeting, stared at the blue veins on his neck, and successfully stopped the spontaneous applause from the audience.

Sitting quietly and waiting, An Yi was not worried at all, and was the calmest of the three sitting.The only thing he wasn't sure about now was whether he would be able to maintain such a state of being unmoved and unaffected by foreign objects when he stood on the podium.Or, he will also because of...

'The player from China, Louis Watts (yian), scored after the free skating——'

"Wow……"

The score is played and the dust settles.

This is the exclamation from Joe Baker in the live broadcast room.

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!"

"Louis! Louis! Louis!"

The cheers erupted like huge waves.

This is the real-time reaction of [-] spectators after seeing An Yi score in the free skating.

"Son! Champion! Champion! You won the men's singles championship! Damn it! It's considered that the free skating referees are knowledgeable, and there is no such farce as the short program! If so, I will definitely, I will-"

This is An Zexian.

And of course Joyce.

And the reaction of all those who support him and pay attention to his performance...

When his score in the free skating was determined, the waves of cheers and applause surged to envelop him.

He sat on the waiting table, opened his eyes wide, watched his free skating score on the big screen, clenched his fists, as if in a dream, his heartbeat was accelerated, aggravated, and almost stalled due to the influence of the surrounding environment.

When the vision in my mind was realized, I sighed. It turned out that I was just a mortal, far less calm and calm than I thought.

The thoughts in my mind were chaotic and unfocused, and the mental state of the whole person was in a trance.

The corners of his mouth were grinning, revealing a bright smile. Unbeknownst to An Yi, this scene had been successfully captured by the on-site camera.

In the next second, his shoulders and back suddenly sank, and he was hugged by An Zexian, Joyce, and two middle-aged men.

The moment his whole face 'passively' crashed into his father's arms, he finally woke up.Hearing the cheers, applause, and screams in the arena, feeling the strength of An Zexian's palms hugging his shoulders tightly, Joyce's congratulatory slapping behind him, he let out a long breath quietly, and closed his dry and astringent mouth. eyes.

It was also at this moment that he finally, or rather he really confirmed, the result of his free skating competition.

It seemed calm and rational, but in fact, even I couldn't believe it. I accepted the fact that I became the men's individual champion of this year's Canadian World Junior Championships.

Sure enough, at the age of 14, he won his first championship in his career.

World Youth Figure Skating Championships, men's singles champion!
