ice emperor

All kinds of thoughts, desires, or extravagances, but An Yi didn't say anything to his family or friends.

On November 1999, 11, after watching another friend, Cindy Celaya, the grand prix Canadian race that determined his future and fate, he had a happy gathering with two friends who had made their dreams come true.

Not so excited, I went back to China to continue training, waiting for the arrival of the ISU Figure Skating Grand Prix Finals, the adult group/youth group competition date held in Madrid, Spain on December 12th.

Different from the previous two races, which made him feel very disappointed and boring, although there are only six players in the men's singles skating finals, including him, each of them has finished the competition. After that, the top six in the points ranking exist.

Referring to the information collected by his father, he can be sure that for these athletes, it is only standard to have all six triple jumps, and they have basically mastered one quadruple jump.

Even if the success rate cannot be guaranteed, and he is not sure whether it will be used in the free skating, such a situation is enough to ignite his fighting spirit and eager to try.For men, it is natural to be competitive, and it has taken root in the body since the beginning of coming to this world.

Five days, ten days, 20 days.After tireless training and skating again and again, An Yi finally ushered in the day of departure for the finals.

Unlike the last journey that was silent and unnoticed, this time the battle has more than doubled in size.

Even after seven competitions for the youth group and six competitions for the adult group, the figure skating national team has only one person, An Yi, who has entered the final stage.

CCTV Sports Channel still sent an interview team to accompany them.Newspapers, books, and midday news also reported many times during this period that the national team has finally broken the monopoly of foreign powers in ice and snow events, and has cultivated a new generation of players worth looking forward to.

And it was from this moment that An Yi, a Chinese-Canadian mixed-race blue-eyed big boy, officially entered thousands of households, and began to be liked and loved by the people, and the people who loved figure skating noticed.

One of the main reasons is that during this period of time cctv5 finally released the full version of the video of his participation in the World Youth Championship last year.The second is his excellent looks and wonderful skating, which are really eye-catching and fans.

It is an exaggeration to say that even if it is not enough to make people unforgettable, at least it can make people remember his name after watching it and leave a deep impression in their minds.

"...It turned out to be like this? This answer is really unexpected. Then, um, it is the last question of this interview."

On December 12, in Madrid, the capital of Spain, the organizing committee of the Figure Skating Grand Prix organized a hotel room for athletes to rest.

The female reporter who followed the national team to interview and report the progress of the Grand Prix looked at the boy in front of her with a smile in her eyes and let herself 'torture' the boy for more than half an hour.

Seeing him hear his amnesty, he let out a long breath of surprise, moved his gaze to the camera lens in front of the side and looked at it, and then asked that question with good intentions and a cautious tone, interviewing all athletes A question that can never be avoided.

"Okay, An Yi, through the previous links, I think the audience friends in front of the TV have already known and familiarized you. All of us already know that you made history last year and won the first prize in the Chinese figure skating men's singles event. World Youth Championship gold medals. In the two sub-stations of this youth group grand prix, you also won the championship and successfully advanced to the finals. So, what expectations do you have for this finals? Will it be as good as last year? Just like in the World Youth Championships, harvest a medal for yourself and the country?"

Ask a question, shut up and wait.

The female reporter who obviously had a good impression of An Yi secretly changed the concept, replaced the 'gold medal' requested by the leader before the interview with a medal, and waited patiently for the boy's answer.

As for An Yi, he obviously understood what the other party meant, and nodded gratefully to the female reporter with a smile.

Then he pondered for a while, thought for a while, turned his gaze to the back of the camera, and looked at An Zexian who was standing with the cameraman.The corners of his mouth suddenly turned up, and he spoke amidst the sudden change in his father's face, and before he had time to stop himself, he made a declaration of the game.

"Um... Sister Hu Yue, are you sure that this interview video will be played when I finish skating the short program competition and my results are not bad?"

"Haha, yes, yes, I'm sure."

Hearing the boy call out his name, and feeling full of caution and temptation from his tone, the young female reporter Hu Yue, who was already full of affection for him, couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Why do you ask this, do you want to say something bold?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if it's recorded now, if you didn't do it during the competition, we can not broadcast it or cut it off. Don't think my sister is very young, but she has a very good relationship with her colleagues in the post-production team. What do you want to say? If you want to, you might as well say it boldly. Neither you nor I saw the picture of Coach An standing behind the camera and glaring at you. You see, it will be your 15th birthday in a few days. As a rebellious youth Boy, being too obedient is not normal, right?"

While talking, he made a few jokes with An Yi, making the atmosphere of the interview more relaxed.

Hu Yue, who was young and seemed to be in her early 20s, smiled silently at An Yi, who was very surprised by her interview attitude, and released a look that she didn't need to worry about.An Yi and An Zexian were a little bit surprised in curiosity, not sure what the background of this girl who seemed to be a reporter was.

However, none of this matters.

The important thing is that under such circumstances, An Yi suppressed his hesitation, organized his words, and began to answer the previous question directly.

It's still the same old saying, which man has no ambition, let alone an athlete?

If you don't even have the guts to speak out what you think in your heart when you have the strength, you will be submissive and not enterprising.Whether you have emotional intelligence or not, whether you have high emotional intelligence or not, don't think about it for now.That kind of irresponsible and unmanly image will not be pleasing in the first place.

"...What expectations do I have for this finals? To be honest, this question is quite difficult to answer."

With a gentle voice and a calm tone, An Yi looked directly at the camera lens that recorded the entire interview, his eyes seemed to penetrate time and space, and communicated with the audience who didn't know when they would see this video.

"Let's put it this way, according to the habits of the people in our country, if I answer that I will try my best to slide out of my best level, and I will accept no matter what ranking I get in the end. See this interview The audience, although it is inevitable to be disappointed in their hearts, they will definitely be quite safe. At least after I fail, I will not worry about being turned over the old score, saying that I have high vision and low ability, and I have no self-knowledge, and I will brag about it."

Different from others, the maverick An Yi opened his mouth and said such words. He turned his eyes and smiled in surprise. He didn't expect his character to be such a female reporter. Standing behind the camera, he heard him After "gritting his teeth" for the answer, he finally didn't bother to care about him. He closed his eyes and put his hands on his shoulders. After An Zexian leaned against the wall, he looked at the camera lens again and continued.

"Don't look at my young age. According to my family and friends, I have a very precocious personality. I understand all the reasons I should understand. I also know that what I say next may make some people who abide by the 'virtue of humility' feel uncomfortable. Comfortable."

"But, I still want to say it! I think my strength is really good! Under normal performance, no one of my age can beat me. Medals? No! My goal is only gold medals! I don't like to lose! So - I will only win!"

'If you don't make a song, you'll be a blockbuster', An Yi's bold words obviously caught everyone by surprise.

This is a good time, the embarrassment has become the interview team.Originally, the leader of the interview team was still a little angry when he saw his newcomer asking that unambitious question, but he didn't expect that the next second the screen changed, and the brash brat, An Yi, who was outspoken, would say such brazen words.

Yes.

It's just brazen!

At this moment, except for An Yi himself, everyone who saw, heard, and this interview, including An Zexian, didn't take it seriously.He agreed in his heart that this was just An Yi's willful madness, a concrete manifestation of rebellious agitation in adolescence.

They all thought in their hearts that after this child participated in a few more international competitions, he would understand the cruelty of the arena.

Don't like to lose, only win?Sorry, but throughout the history of competitive sports, no athlete has ever done it.

On December 26th, cloudy, light rain, although the breeze passing through the rain curtain and blowing over people's faces was gentle, it also carried a penetrating coolness.

After being officially interviewed by the cctv5 reporter, An Yi didn't seem to realize how much trouble he had made.As if nothing had happened without any mental burden, under the arrangement of the staff of the organizer of the Grand Prix finals, after four public practice sessions and getting used to the ice rink, the short program competition day ushered in.

According to the schedule released by the competition organizing committee, the short program of the Youth Group Grand Prix Finals was scheduled to be held from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.

At that time, the top six players in all individual sub-stations will be divided into four groups in order of ice dance, doubles, women's singles, and men's singles.

For An Yi, although the men's singles was placed in the last group, he did not get the last place in the draw.Not very lucky, he lost to his good friend Johnny, which made this guy proud for a while, and even said that he would definitely make him look good in the game.Really, I don't know where he got his confidence, or he has already...

"Hey Luis, do you know where Johnny is? He got our mp3's wrong, it's really troublesome. Shouldn't have bought the exact same couple. Oh, I'm sorry. But...Louis, why are you Do you want to look at me like this?"

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, more than two hours earlier, An Yi arrived at the Xuefeng Stadium where the grand prix final was held during the pair skating short program competition.

Just spread out a yoga mat in the preparation area where athletes come and go and warm up for running, and prepare to stretch the muscles and joints.Accidentally being shown a wave of affection again, he recklessly stuffed his mouth full of dog food.

What can he do about this?

Having a boyfriend and a girlfriend is great! ?

No matter in the previous life or in this life, what he hates the most are bastards like this who show off naturally invisibly!He sincerely wished them a happy marriage for a hundred years, having a son early, losing their freedom, and being tied to each other for a lifetime, life after life!

Only in this way can they understand what a rare happiness it is to be single!

Confused in his heart, after listening to the girl's question in front of him, An Yi gave the silly girl a glance, raised his chin angrily and walked to the right passage, a certain bastard who couldn't calm down, motioned in the direction of running away one time.

Afterwards, no further attention was paid to the incident, nor to the nearby cameras filming it.He crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and began to recharge his batteries, quietly waiting for the game to start.

Just like what he had thought in his heart at the beginning, he was looking forward to the Grand Prix finals.It can be said that I can't wait to see how much my good friends and other athletes have improved in the new season.

Of course, they're making progress, and he hasn't stopped himself.The speed of progress will only be faster than them.

Every time he thinks of the difficulties and tortures he suffered during the preparations for this season, he becomes more and more unable to restrain the rising desire to win in his chest. Win or lose.

Although the process of arranging the two sets of programs did make him a little unbearable, after finishing, it also greatly enhanced his confidence in his own ability.

Let him be convinced that his talent in this sport is not limited to jumping.It also includes skating, connection, and artistic expression that limit countless talented athletes.
