Belonging to his ice arena [competitive

When Yu Youge stood still in the center of the arena, everyone brushed the floor and fell silent. The entire venue could almost hear a pin drop, and they all focused their eyes on him.The audience sitting at the scene and those watching in front of the TV and the live broadcast room all held their breath, looking forward to Yu Youge's "Swan Lake". Cheers for a historic moment.

Yu Youge didn't want to cheer at all at this time.

At the moment when everyone was silent for a moment, white sweat broke out all over his body, and his body became a little stiff.He really felt that he was the only one on the ice rink, and he began to feel a little helpless.He also really felt everyone's expectations of him, and their eyes were all fixed on him, watching his every move, catching every step and every jump of him.Yu Youge knew that they wanted to see him get this spot, and then appear in Pittsburgh, and it would be best if he could win a medal in the Winter Olympics.

It was only at this time that Yu Youge felt how powerful the magic power of the Winter Olympics was. Everyone was crazy about it, and everyone was eager for it.

I must get this spot, this spot must be mine!

The footwork at the beginning of the short program was well done, and the next step will be his jumping moves.

Moment before take-off, he pressed his center of gravity to the outer edge of his left foot, and raised his right foot to touch the ice.

It was only then that Yu Youge remembered that his precious right foot was not in the best condition at the moment, and his sprain hadn't healed yet.So he concentrated all his energy on his right foot, trying to control the strength of his jump.The second the knife teeth of his right foot hit the ice, Yu Youge's pain nerves twitched, sending a wrong signal to his brain.The left foot, which should have taken off at the same time as touching the ice, hesitated for a moment and missed the best time.The hook jumps around and becomes a week.

The coach outside the field frowned: "What's going on? Has his foot deteriorated? It's impossible. It was still fine during the pre-match training."

Cheng Yufei, who was standing next to him, watched his speed obviously slow down after falling off the ice, and guessed: "It shouldn't be a problem with his feet. Although the pain still exists, it shouldn't affect his program. Both the short program and free skating can last. .”

"It seems that he put too much pressure on himself, and the huge pressure magnified his pain."

"And he was actually really worried about his injury. He didn't say anything, none of us knew."

Yu Youge, who continued the short program, felt like a dying insect, stuck tightly by a spider's web.After that jump, the atmosphere of the whole venue suddenly fell into dead silence. Everyone's expectations for him turned into unbelievable disappointment. This kind of mood was completely received by Yu Youge, and they turned into tangible spider threads. They entangled him root by root, dragged his body, and sucked away the air he needed to survive.

Yu Youge's footsteps froze, and his breathing became difficult.

what do I do?I skipped my continuous jump, and the one that was empty was my most confident hook jump.Why does my right foot hurt so much, it won't last forever, can it?Which jump should I do next to make up for that combo?

When doing the prescribed rotation, questions popped up one after another, and then they were all thrown away by the centrifugal force.After Yu Youge escaped from the spinning, he was in a daze, his brain was about to be turned out.

In the second half of the show, he made a three-step turn as a link to the Axel jump, then swung his right leg forward and took off with his left foot. This 4A did not seem to be strenuous.Just when everyone was about to breathe a sigh of relief, his right foot swayed visibly.The audience held back their breath before they could breathe fully.

Yu Youge swayed a few times, and relied on his excellent control to stabilize his center of gravity at the last moment, without falling.

This Axel quadruple jump was successfully completed without any risk.

The breath of the audience finally came out.

But they still couldn't relax, after a short series of footwork, Yu Youge was about to enter his last jump.

This jump is crucial, it determines whether the teenager can get a ticket to the Winter Olympics.Although it is only a short program game now, some ice fans have made statistics so far this season.Different from other contestants, the only way for Yu Youge to win is not the free skating, but the short program, which is the sharp weapon for Yu Youge to widen the gap with others.The length of the short program is just right for this young player who is facing physical difficulties. The technical difficulty he is proud of can be perfectly displayed in two and a half minutes, and the detailed regulations on the movements of the short program It also guarantees his dominant position to a certain extent, because he has always completed the most difficult and highest points in the prescribed movements.

But now, in the situation where he has already lost a single jump point, whether he can make up for the double jump point determines his fate.

Yu Youge had already thought about what he would use to make up for this jump, and he decided to try his best.

Skate with your left foot and raise your right foot.

The center of gravity of the left foot has not changed, and the teeth of the right foot are icy.

Yu Youge gritted his teeth, resisting the pain from his right foot when he tapped the ice.He folded his arms tightly and spun around in the air.

The right foot landed perfectly on the ice, no wobbling, no problems with the number of weeks.

Yu Youge's tears filled his eyes, he knew he still failed.

The last thread of the spider's web was wrapped around his right foot, and his foot was glued to the ground.The moment he landed on the ice, what he wanted to catch was the loop jump, but unfortunately his body couldn't control him, and he couldn't jump up. With his right foot as the axis, he twisted and fell to the ice. on.

The disappointing sighs of the audience filled the brain, and the right foot that suddenly lost its temper was still hurting.Yu Youge braced himself on the ice, got up from the ice to do the last step.That footwork made him skate like he was competing with himself.

While skating at a not-so-slow speed, Yu Youge even clearly saw tears falling on the ice.

Why is this so?

At the end of the song, he was completely confused.

He was smooth sailing and unstoppable in the international arena, why did he lose so badly in the national competition, and even made mistakes that he didn't make in normal training.

Yu Youge couldn't understand.

He didn't even want to listen carefully to his own score, he knew clearly that even if the free skating was really clean, he would not be able to stand on the highest podium.

Although Sackert is not ranked among the first-line players, although he does not have 4A or 44 consecutive jumps, although Canada only got one spot because of his abnormal performance in the World Championships last season, he lost the short program. The two jumping Yu Youge are still easy for him.

On the day of the free skating, Yu Youge obeyed the coach's arrangement and did not use those two loops that were more burdensome.His low-profile version of "The Hobbit" was clean as he wished. Maybe the referees wanted to give him a chance, or maybe the referees just wanted to encourage him. This version of the Hobbit in the playoffs was stamped by most fans A chapter with inflated ratings.

But even a falsely high score cannot save the huge difference left by the short program.In the end, Yu Youge lost to Sackert, who was on the threshold of retirement, by less than two points in total points, and won the silver medal.

It was another new Monday, and Yu Youge was wearing training clothes and sitting on a small bench next to the ice rink in the club, silently watching the little students practicing their jumps with all their might. The little sister hesitated before taking off, and put Lutz Jumping into Flutz, this little brother swings his arms too much before take-off, shifts his center of gravity, falls on the ice and falls, and when he gets up, half of his body is covered with white ice foam.

"Click." The sound of the can opening the lid startled him.

Yu Youge looked back, Cheng Yufei was holding a can of Coke and was about to hand it to him.

"Before, you kept arguing about why I didn't give you a Coke. Today, Dr. Cheng is in a good mood, and I'll give you a special order."

"Tomorrow the Ice Association will announce the quota, right?"

"Yeah, don't worry, we still think that the spot is probably still yours."

"Don't coax me. I'm a fledgling, I'm not stable anywhere, it's a little difficult, and I always don't perform well. A little pressure can overwhelm me. Uncle Sa has been skating for so long on the court, and the difficulty Although he is not high, he really rarely makes mistakes. I admire him so much. You see, just a national competition before the Olympics can scare me like this."

"It's okay, tomorrow will definitely give a convincing result. And you still..."

"I know I'm still young, but I can't always use age as an excuse for failure." Yu Youge interrupted him.

"Have you ever thought about why you have been on the court for so long?"

"I want to slide out of the story..."

"Sliding out of the story itself is not wrong, it is a very good reason. But you are on the field now, not in a commercial performance, and just skating the story cannot support you to reach the highest podium."

Yu Youge looked down at the bubbling Coke can in his hand and said nothing.

"The most important point is that only when you climb to the top and the story that emerges from your feet can it really be called a success story. You have the ability to tell a story and the strength to support a story, but you have not yet Figure out how you will take your story to the top of the mountain to see the most beautiful scenery. You have to believe in yourself."

After finishing speaking, Cheng Yufei took out Yu Youge's cell phone that had been turned off for two days, and handed it to him: "Don't you really want to see what those cuties on the Internet say about you?"

He hesitated for a while, then took it up and said, "I'd better wait until the results come out tomorrow."

At [-]:[-] p.m. the next day, the Canadian Ice Association announced their decision on the allocation of places for the next few major competitions.The results of the National Championships are used as the main criterion, and the players' points and previous performances are used as reference.Veteran Ryan Sackert won the Pittsburgh Winter Olympics quota, while Yu Youge's quota for the Four Continents Championships to be held in Shanghai, China and the World Championships in Berlin after the Olympics fell to Yu Youge.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Youge returned home from the scene where the decision was announced, holding his mobile phone in his hands for a long time, and finally pressed the power button.

He opened his Instagram, and under a recent photo, there were all messages from fans, mostly in English and Chinese, with some words from other countries that he could not understand.

"Yu Youge, you have to work hard! It doesn't matter if you slipped and collapsed once, we will always support you!"

"Brother Yu, you are really good! Look, isn't the spot for the World Championships still yours!"

"I knew they would definitely give you a place in the World Championships. The Maple Leaf Ice Association did not disappoint me! Waiting for you in Berlin!"

"Xiaoyu, don't be sad! What! What if we don't go to the Olympics, we are still so young and strong after four years back!"

"Cheer up and prepare for the World Championships! Then take back both gold medals and slap them in the face!"

"I love you, I love you, I love you, have you seen it!"

At this moment, Sackert's text message popped up.

"Hey bro, have fun. I'm going to Pittsburgh with your share! Are you ready to take my share and win us back next season?"

The author has something to say:

I don't know if you have noticed before that we fish are actually not that confident.He was very prone to collapse under heavy pressure, and his feet didn't hurt that much, but he magnified it countless times at the time.The audience was not very disappointed with him, but he took it for granted that everyone must not like him.Brother Yu is just about to become an adult, and he still has a lot to grow.

Neither the Four Continents nor the Pittsburgh Winter Olympics will be written in detail. It is estimated that the Olympic season will be over in a few chapters, and everyone will enter the next stage.

Promise me, don't send me blades... T^T
