ice emperor

"I said why are you crazy, kid?!"

"Isn't it enough that you have mastered two quadruple jumps at the age of 14!? You went to practice the third one out of your mind? Do you know how I felt when I saw you fall on the ice? The coaches present saw you How do you look at me when you jump around the outside ring?"

At 05:30 in the afternoon, at the home of Zizhuyuan Community, it was obviously the time for the family to enjoy dinner, but An Zexian's voice was a bit annoyed.

"Don't stare! I'm telling you, because of you brat, your father's reasonable and humane personal image has collapsed. Now, among the coaches in the national team, who doesn't know that your father is a devil who eats children? My son has mastered two kinds of four weeks. He participated in the World Series for the first time and won the championship triumphantly. It was not enough. The season just ended not only did not allow the child to have a full rest, but also made the child difficult and forced him to continue to improve. Tsk tsk tsk, I There is no place to talk about this grievance, you say, how can you compensate me?!"

"Ouch! Dad, Dad~ You can rub it as you like, but can you be gentler?"

Listening to An Zexian's dissatisfaction, he silently endured the torture.Suddenly feeling a sudden pain in the muscles on the ankle and the instep of his right foot, An Yi, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room at home, put his foot in An Zexian's hands, and asked him to apply the medicine for massage, complained subconsciously.

The results of it?

Terrible!

The sulking An Zexian seized the opportunity to teach his son a lesson!

He deliberately avoided the slight injury on An Yi's foot, and taught him a lesson from other parts.Scratching the soles of the feet, pinching the numb tendons, and using several methods, An Yi was made to cry and laugh, and finally resigned to his fate and begged for mercy. He promised several times before he was let go.

When An Zexian let go of his right foot, An Yi's eyes were lost and empty, and he leaned on the sofa and asked himself, why should he do this?Why should we consider whether it is normal or not? Put the sprain on the foot without systematic drug treatment.All right now!As soon as he got home, after being checked by An Zexian, he was not only lectured, but also physically punished.Really, really looking for trouble for nothing, my head is purely twitching.

Leaning on the sofa without moving his body, his neck tilted and his eyes drooped, An Yi glanced at his right ankle, which was covered with safflower oil and exuded a pungent smell, and felt that he hadn't been able to relax in the past few days.

But it doesn't matter, he believes that his dad can't watch him 24 hours a day, and it shouldn't affect his daily tasks.

And ah, he really needs to take a good rest to let his body relax.Recalling that he returned to China from Canada more than half a year ago, it seems that he has always been like a taut bowstring, hovering at the limit of his physical load every day.

For the sake of physical considerations, I still need to cultivate and replenish my body recently. I can just imagine the two programs of the new season and think about the choice of sliding music.Now calm down and think about it carefully, it is indeed like what his father said, he is only 14 years old this year, it is okay to train new difficult movements in advance, but there is no need to push yourself too fast, so that you accidentally get injured the point.He, he can't be unscrupulous just because he bought 'insurance' and has the recovery potion provided by the system as a base.

Sitting on the sofa by himself, analyzing and making a decision, An Yi quickly devoted himself to his life during the offseason.

Every day, he either hides from An Zexian and secretly completes the daily tasks issued by the system, or runs around with tickets for various concerts that his father got for him.

Constantly undergoing the baptism of music, cultivating sentiment, enriching myself too boring, traveling to and from home, training hall, cafeteria, training hall, home, and training hall.

During the period, in addition to these things, he also dealt with some other things of course.For example, an interview with a cctv5 sports reporter appeared in the noon sports news for 2 minutes.Received commendations from the Ice Association, the national team, and the leaders of Beijing.

All the harvest, the bits and pieces are added together, and there will be about 24 left after tax.If you don't count the [-] US dollars that the national team gave him after deducting the training fee, which doesn't need to pay taxes, the money is just enough, and his grandfather's one-year membership fee for the ice rink.Once again, he lamented that figure skating really costs money, and one must have a lot of money to play it.

I couldn't help but sighed in my heart and shifted my attention.

Now that he had already thought about the membership fee for the ice rink, he had to mention the photos of the new ice rink that Johnny and Cindy had sent him via email during this period.

That style is simply the word "simple but not simple" to the extreme.

According to Johnny's email, after the renovation was completed, the threshold for membership became higher, and more and more members applied to join.He really couldn't figure it out, he couldn't understand the thoughts of these members who paid the money and couldn't come a few times a year.

Of course, he wasn't complaining, he certainly hoped that the more such members the better.It not only ensures the operation of the club, but also facilitates his ice training.It doesn't feel good for him and Cindy to have the entire ice rink to themselves.After a long time of experience, it is really, really addictive.

Thinking of this, he smiled and recalled the complaints, puzzles, and emotions in the two friends' emails in his mind. An Yi really wanted to tell them, don't guess what rich people think, they have the right to be willful.

People who have no money mostly think about benefits when they spend money, and people who have money only think about style when they spend money.

To put it bluntly, the effect of the reconstruction of his grandfather's ice rink is only a matter of minutes if he wants to shock the turkey who has never seen much in the world in this era.He had heard from his mother, Joanna, that his grandfather really put in a lot of effort in order to hold the ice rink as the top ice rink in Canada this time.

In this way, day after day, today's event, tomorrow's event, more than half a month flew by, and it was mid-April in a blink of an eye.

The senior athletes of the national team who went to the World Championships have already returned, but the atmosphere is not very good.Because except for the pair skating that entered the top twelve, the rest of the ice dance, men's singles, and women's singles all failed.

With such a cruel reality in front of our eyes, it is obviously impossible to prevent people from the national team from discussing in private.

Even unavoidable occurrences such as, the men's singles so-and-so has a famous brother, but he only lives in the nest, and it doesn't count as a fart when he goes out.In terms of difficulty, even An Yi from the youth group couldn't compare to his remarks.

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Anyway, when this word reached An Yi's ears, everyone in the national team knew about it, and the attitude of the senior men's singles players towards him had also changed.Fortunately, An Yi has a wealth of experience, so her mentality will not be inflated or unbalanced.Otherwise, maybe because of their youthful vigor, some people would be allowed to watch a good show for free.

"You sing, I will appear on the stage", the miscellaneous trivial matters seem to be endless.

An Yi didn't care what others thought of him, and continued to complete his training goals at his own pace.

At first, because of the new ankle injury, he had to sneak around and avoid An Zexian when training and completing daily tasks.

After a week of 'recuperation' and having his dad check and confirm the recovery of the injury, he could finally let go of the practice.Not only did he once again improve the quality of quadruple jumps with two success rates to a new level, he also jumped more and more with the 4 loop at the back and outer knot.

Now, as he persists in practicing and jumping ten times, it is best to succeed three or four times, and at worst he can succeed once or twice.In terms of movement details, although there are still many flaws and many places that need to be adjusted and refined, at least he has seen the hope of mastering this movement.So even if the success rate of this jumping action cannot be stabilized for a long time, and it is destined to be useless next season, it still makes him feel very happy and satisfied.

April, May, all goes well.On June 11th, An Yi completed training and returned home according to the old time. Unexpectedly, the last offseason before the arrival of the 1999-2 season was announced to end in advance because of the release of an announcement document.

The full title of this document is "Key Points for Revising Figure Skating Rules Adopted by the 1999 International Skating Union Congress" with a very long title and a lot of content.

It not only clarifies many previously controversial rules, but also announces the matters that players in major competitions need to pay attention to next season.

Taking An Yi as an example, he found out from the documents that starting from July 50st of this year, the duration of short programs in the next season shall not exceed two minutes and [-] seconds at most.The seven prescribed movements have also become: a jumping squat spin; a swallow spin with only one foot change; a combined spin with only one foot change; a set of sequential footwork that makes full use of the ice; Three weeks of Axel single jumps; a combination of two weeks plus three weeks or three plus three weeks; and a two-week or three-week ice point immediately after a continuous footwork or difficult movement Philip jumped.

In terms of free skating, the document clearly stipulates that in the 4-minute free skating for the youth group, a maximum of eight jumps are allowed, of which there must be a two-week or three-week Axel jump.

In addition, a maximum of three joint jumps or continuous jumps are allowed in the jump, and a continuous jump consists of a maximum of three jumps; a maximum of three rotations are allowed; a maximum of one set of consecutive footwork is allowed.The word "most" was used many times, which pointed out the programming requirements of the entire program.

In addition to these, the document also provides for the repeated jumps that occur in the program.

Clearly tell all athletes, except for women, young men, and in short program joint jumps, they can repeat jumping movements that have not appeared in single jumps and have the same number of cycles.At any other time, the jumping action of the same type and the same number of cycles is only allowed to appear twice in a program, and it must be counted as a single jump, a combined jump or a continuous jump.

If this rule is violated, it will be reflected in the scoring link in the form of deduction.In another way, the figure skater is required to master the type of jumps.

Urging the athletes not only to practice the movements they like to be good at, but to ensure the diversity and comprehensiveness of their jumping skills, so as to improve the appreciation of the whole program.This will further help the International Skating Federation to promote the sport of figure skating.

Lying on the bed in his own bedroom, he repeatedly read the documents An Zexian handed over to him several times.

After confirming that there was nothing missing, An Yi couldn't help thinking about the past and present, and the differences between the two world ISUs.

In the previous life, the ISU was not only poor, but also became less and less influential as time went on.Not only has it gradually lost enthusiastic audiences in many regions, but it has also been slow and difficult in sports promotion, which has made many players who have devoted themselves to this sport sigh, even if they win the World Championships or even the Grand Prix champion.In terms of actual money gain, it is not as good as an ordinary player who participated in the Open Tennis Championship and was eliminated in the third round.

What about this world?

The strength and determination of the isu International Skating Federation to promote the sport are obviously different.

Excluding the shortcoming that medals are still small, the material rewards that encourage athletes to devote themselves to this sport are particularly prominent.

At the very least, it also guarantees that as long as the athlete participates in the competition and enters the 24-man roster of free skating, even if he wins the last place, he will still be able to earn money.

More money and less money is not the main issue. The key is to let the athletes see the meaning of persistence.After all, to live in this world, people have to eat and see the possibility of success and fame.Otherwise, ending your career early and switching to other sports will only happen sooner or later.
