Figure skating is more suitable for me to participate in the Olympics

On the way to Beijing, the old uncle kept a dark face, and Song Cheng threw a bag of sunshine seaweed into his arms.

"What expression do you have? Zhang Jue is an athlete in the system. He usually trains for free and receives a stipend. When he was injured, Commander Sun rushed to the hospital to reimburse him for medical expenses. At critical moments, everyone needs him to compete. Then he will go to the hospital." It’s okay once you go, besides, it’s still not decided whether to let him go or let Xiaolong go.”

As the so-called raising soldiers for a thousand days, you only need this moment. Zhang Jue didn’t spend a penny when skating. Training, venues, medical expenses, choreography, Costen, etc. were all reimbursed by his superiors. The best resource for ice and snow projects in China, debuted less than three years ago, two years in the youth group, and half a year in the adult group. The money he earned was enough to buy a house in a good location in the capital, and he paid [-]% of the down payment in one go. The allowance is enough for him to pay the rent and also enough for him to change clothes twice after the growth starts.

Is it now that you can’t say it but you can’t?

Of course Zhang Junbao knew that Song Cheng was telling the truth. He was also a member of the national team, and he used to play closed games. Even when he did it himself, he didn't have any complaints in his heart, but was eager to try. Think? My chance has finally arrived.

But when it was Zhang Jue's turn, Zhang Junbao felt very uncomfortable.

He turned his head away: "Zhang Jue has already had the problem of meniscus wear and tear. I'm even thinking of letting him rest for a while. He falls on the ice now because of that knee-bending trick. The more he uses it, the more damage it will do to his knees." Big, this state is not suitable for competition at all."

It is completely different for Zhang Junbao to endure hardship by himself and let his children suffer.

Isn't Jin Zixuan quite good in the comparison of the four continents?Didn't everyone say that Zhang Jue should heal his injuries and pass the developmental test?He was ready to let Zhang Jue change his skills, but now he did it again.

For figure skating, some techniques are very hard to change once you get used to them. For example, in Russia in the past two years, there was a 15-year-old girl who jumped 3lz and 3F with a flat edge. unclear.

But because women's singles has a short career life and the Winter Olympics is approaching, her coach didn't change her blade at all. Instead, she allowed the little women's singles to use both blades. She scored three 3lz in the short program and free skating in domestic competitions. Mixed points.

After all, excluding the 8.5A with a score of 3, the 6lz with a score of 3 is already the most difficult and highest-scoring single jump in women's singles. The makeup of Shirahazuka who can jump 3A has disappeared, and everyone else is currently jumping at 3lz Work hard, and if you are more powerful, just think about it? Do 3lo in a continuous jump.

It can be said that changing technology is a very risky thing? If it is not improved, but the more it changes, the worse it will be, it is better to maintain the status quo, but anyone who changes technology must first be prepared to spend a season on the street , The pre-Olympic modification technology is equivalent to walking a tightrope.

Zhang Junbao also thought about it for a long time before deciding to improve Zhang Jue's skills during the period when his skills collapsed due to development, such as using the blade unclearly when gliding, always shifting the axis of rotation, and skewing the axis when jumping. Problems such as bending the knees to stabilize and so on must be corrected before the start of the next season.

Then the leaders called out, now there is no need to change the technique, let's go to Beijing to compete with Dong Xiaolong, Fan Zhaoying and other men's singles.

Who told Jin Zixuan to fall during quadruple jump training? Did he dislocate his left arm and strain his ligament?

There was helplessness and confusion in Shen Liu's eyes: "Speaking of which, I don't know what's going on this year? It seems that the men's singles who skipped the quadruple jump in the international arena are all injured due to various reasons."

Both McQueen and Vasily? are old friends with knee injuries. Sergei’s ankle was twisted on the eve of the Russian Championships. Martin’s back injury was so serious that he didn’t even participate in the domestic competition. Max won the French championship for the first time.

Among the younger generation, Ilya had to give up even the chance to participate in the finals due to injury, Hayato Teraoka was injured and did not recover until before the start of the All-day Championships, and Zhang Jue sat out for almost two months this season. wheelchair.

David Kasulai was the most unlucky one. He was not injured by figure skating, but a group of children in Thailand didn’t know what happened. They got lost in a cave, and that cave was a cave, and several sections of the road were covered by Covered by groundwater, professional cave divers are required for rescue.

The heroic David went, and then he almost chose to rise rapidly because of lack of oxygen when saving people.

Floating quickly during diving will cause the pressure in the body to change, and in the worst case, it will cause lung explosion. If it weren’t for David’s extra time before departure? He brought an oxygen cylinder, and his teammates threw the oxygen cylinder to him in time, so that he could If you calmly inhale oxygen at the original depth and slowly rise up, this person may be gone.

Of course, although he saved his life, he still lay down in an ambulance after rescuing those children, and he has not been discharged from the hospital until now. It is estimated that he will not be able to catch up with the World Championships.

He concluded that Zhang Jue is not the worst one. His ligament strain has healed. As long as the bursitis is well maintained, it may not recur. Fasciitis, meniscus wear and trauma are very important for athletes. Very common and can be cured with physical therapy.

Besides, apart from the Four Continents Championship, Zhang Jue has compared all the other competitions that should be compared, and the results are pretty good.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Junbao covered his face and moaned.

He looked at Zhang Jue and found that the man was sleeping soundly under a blanket.

Tsk, this kid can sleep, and he has grown taller than him without knowing it. The baby fat on his face has faded, and he looks more and more like an adult.

Thinking of this, the old uncle still felt a little sore in his heart. He stretched out his hand to tuck Zhang Jue in the blanket. Zhang Jue opened his eyes and gave him a soft smile.

He looked sideways out of the window and murmured, "The weather is so nice today. If we were in the city, the stars wouldn't be so bright."

Under the staggered star trails is a layered sea of ​​clouds, and the starlight is reflected in the dark eyes of the young man. Even after thousands of years, the brilliance of the stars is still so magnificent.

"Uncle, I still think it's meaningless to change my technique. After all, I'm still growing, and I can't hold back my weight recently. Even if you spend a lot of time improving my technique, I won't be able to dance by then." Moved."

The atmosphere fell silent, and after a while, Zhang Junbao stroked his head with a loving voice.

"How do you know if you don't try? If you still can't jump after changing your technique, it's not too late to think about other things, right?"

Zhang Jue looked up and saw the encouragement in his uncle's eyes.

"It's not time to give up yet."

Uncle probably thought that he was discouraged by the wheelchair for two months, but looking at those eyes, Zhang Jue couldn't say anything else.

He barely raised the corner of his mouth: "Yes."

Zhang Jue’s growth still hasn’t stopped. In his memory, after breaking through the 1.7-meter mark, he still has a period of weight gain. At that time, no matter how much he diets, his weight will increase to more than 65 kg. This is not even something he can control, but his body? It has to be so long. It is impossible for a big man who is close to 1.8 meters to maintain a weight of 45 to 50 kg.

At that time, he probably couldn't even keep 4T.

They went to Beijing overnight, and went to the Shougang Stadium the next afternoon.

Sun Qian was sitting next to the ice rink in a thick down jacket, looking haggard: "I didn't intend to call you over, but now the situation is special. The World Championships is about the Winter Olympics quota. To win at the National Championships? Someone must have a good result in the World Championships this year."

The Olympic Games held every four years is the most watched competitive arena in the world. Olympic gold medals are the most gold-rich medals in figure skating. Even for the single skating in Tucun, whose talent is dying, even just an Olympic bronze medal is enough. They eat for a lifetime.

For example, Chen Zhu, a retired women's singles senior, won a gold medal in the World Championships and a bronze medal in the Winter Olympics. She is now one of the coaches with the highest fees in China.

Fan Zhaoying glanced at Zhang Jue indiscriminately, feeling complicated.

If it weren't for this development and injury, no one would worry about the fact that no one can play in the World Championships. But if Zhang Jue is not in good condition to play, like him, Shi Mosheng, and Dong Xiaolong, just give them a chance , They will also do their best in the World Championships.

Because figure skating, especially single skating, is for youth. If they miss this session, they don't know if there will be a next session.

Sun Qian looked at the warm-up postures of the teenagers on the sidelines, and said in a deep voice: "Everyone skates once in the free skating, and we will decide who will get the next World Championships based on your performance, but no matter who goes, I only have one ask."

"At least two places for the Chinese men's single skating!"

The atmosphere became? Depressed.

Zhang Jue stood up, showing a crocodile smile.

"Commander Sun, how do you calculate the order of appearance? Do you follow the procedure to draw lots, or should I be the first one?"

Sun Qianhei said: "Let's draw lots first!"

Zhang Jue went up first.

On the morning of March 3, Jin Ziqi sat on the hospital bed and looked out the window, sighing.

"Winter in Beijing is always foggy."

"The skies in many cities are smoggy, and the control of smog will take a few more years to see results."

He turned around in astonishment, and saw a young man in a short white down jacket leaning against the door frame. He was wearing fingerless gloves on both hands, and was carrying a fruit basket.

Zhang Jue knocked on the door panel meaningfully: "Is your foot feeling better?"

Jin Zixuan smiled wryly: "I won't be able to move around for at least a month now, sit down."

Zhang Jue lifted a stool and sat down, his slender legs stretched out to the sides, and his hands resting on the back of the chair.

"You can do it, boy. I thought I could take the off-season and concentrate on studying for the Mizuki test. When you fell like this, Commander Sun called me to Beijing again."

Jin Zixuan immediately lowered his head in shame when he heard the words, "I'm sorry."

He said this as if he really had something to feel sorry for Zhang Jue. Zhang Jue said with dead fish eyes: "Why are you saying sorry to me? You are injured and can't compete. You are the one who let you down. You said it was at the World Championships." Didn’t you take good care of your body before? What’s the reason for extra training and an injury?”

"As long as I can break into the top ten, my country's men's singles will have two Winter Olympics places. In this way, next year, maybe we can go to the Winter Olympics together."

Zhang Jue tilted his head and saw Jin Zixuan touching an orange and peeling it. With his head lowered, his voice became lower and lower.

"If there is only one place, then you must be the only one, but I don't want to wait for four years, and I don't know if I have another four years, and others don't know if there will be another four years."

"Including you, Zhang Jue, you may not have the next four years, because the game is so unpredictable, who knows when we will be injured? So when someone stands in the position of fighting for opportunities, he must Do your best to help others pave the way to higher places."

The peak period of an athlete is limited. If you miss this Sochi Winter Olympics, no one can guarantee that you will still be able to participate in the Winter Olympics after four years.

One more quota is to give others more opportunities.

Zhang Jue didn't expect Jin Zixuan to have such a sense of responsibility, and then Jin Zixuan handed him the orange again.

"Eat."

Zhang Jue replied subconsciously: "Father doesn't eat oranges given by others."

Jin Zixuan: "Huh?"

Before Zhang Jue came to the Shougang Gymnasium, he went to Beijing Third Hospital to visit Jin Ziqi. After two lessons, Zhang Jue, who asked him to play well and not to convulse, was taught a lesson by Jin Zixuan instead.

No matter what other people do? Think, do you think that as long as you skate well, others will skate well? How about it, whether you have the opportunity to participate in the Winter Olympics has nothing to do with you, but the fact is that as long as you stand in the position of the first brother, you must take responsibility Brother's responsibility.

Their results will determine whether their country can win a new medal in the figure skating event that others think is unpopular, determine whether their country can have more athletes stand on the Olympic arena, and determine whether China will go to the Winter Olympics. Can I have more? Two people.

When a large number of Olympic delegations enter the venue following the hostesses of the opening ceremony, it actually represents the efforts of countless athletes.

There is an electronic scale under Zhang Jue's desk. Every morning, he has to stand on it and record his weight today and hand it to the coach.

Looking at the soaring numbers recently, he realized that the top arena is getting farther and farther away from him, and the silver medal in the Grand Prix finals turned out to be his last glory in figure skating for him.

He probably won’t have a next season, and there’s a high probability that he won’t be able to go to the Olympic Games. I didn’t expect him to end up not because of the increase in height, but because of excessive weight gain. Not with figure skating say goodbye.

So Zhang Jue himself was also hesitating, whether to secretly shift more energy to study, and try to get into the top1.

He is good at figure skating, but he suffered without a diploma in his previous life when he entered the society. When he couldn't continue to be a top figure skater, he had to go to a good university and get a good diploma in the popular sense For a more secure path, Zhang Jue has to consider reality, because he needs to live.

Even if you are not reconciled, you still have to live on.

But this season's World Championships is still meaningful to Zhang Jue.

He has not completely retired from the position of the first brother, and he still has the ability to send the other two to Sochi through this World Championship.

Then let him fulfill the responsibility of the first brother again.

Zhang Jue secretly made up his mind to discuss retirement with his uncle after this competition.

After the game, Zhang Junbao, Song Cheng and Sun Qian went to a meeting together. Zhang Jue found a window to lean against and made a call.

"Hey, I'm the one going to Canada."

The World Championships will open on March 3. Before that, Zhang Jue is going to do high-intensity training of quadruple jumps desperately, and then burn himself for the last time in the Death Championships!

A few days later, on March 3, at the airport, Yin Meijing was wearing a backpack, sitting on the suitcase and fanning the wind with her collar.

The heater in the airport was turned on too much, and she was wearing too much clothes.

Yin Meijing was about to take off a sweater, and then a magnetic male voice reminded her.

"Ontario faces the Great Lakes. It will be very cold outside. You'd better not take off your clothes."

Yin Meijing turned her head and was taken aback for a moment, with disbelief in her eyes: "You are..."

Ms. Ayala next to her turned her head, was also taken aback for a moment, and asked in a surprised tone: "Excuse me?"

Then the women's single from Kazakhstan, Emina, asked shyly, "What's the matter with you?"

Zhang Jue: "...it's me, Zhang Jue!"

Seeing their still blank expressions, Zhang Jue couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and grumble, his face full of sadness.

"Don't you recognize me?"

Yin Meijing, Ayala, and Emina gasped.

"You're a little crocodile!"

The author has something to say: Zhang Jue’s new hairstyle refers to the father of the male lead in "Holy Biography", King Ashura (he is really the male god of my elementary school days)

About the quota for the Winter Olympics.

Yagudin, the 02 Winter Olympic men's singles champion, was seriously injured at the 01 World Championships. At that time, he had five injections (key points) and was blocked from playing, defending Russia's second year Winter Olympic quota.

Another example is the well-known Yuzuru Hanyu, who was also in poor condition at the World Championships in 13. Before the World Championships, he had a high fever, injured his left knee, and had an old injury to his right ankle. He performed abnormally in the short program and fell directly on the first jump Hit the block, but for the sake of Japan's Olympic quota, he insisted on not withdrawing from the competition. During the formal training of the free skating, he sprained his right ankle again.

They didn't retire because they all had the responsibility of the first brother, Mushroom thought, it is because they are such strong and responsible people that they can become top athletes and make such wonderful figure skating performances.

……

Zhang Jue felt bitter during this period. He knew that he might be getting closer and closer to retirement, but he didn't dare to tell his uncle that I might be retiring soon. He could only say something depressing occasionally, which was to prepare his old uncle in advance. Prepare.

The old uncle is also suffering. He changed Zhang Jue’s skills, just like he did not let the girls go on a diet. It is a practice that the public has not yet accepted. He needs to withstand a lot of pressure, but he still dare not show the pressure. , put on an uplifting expression on his face to encourage Zhang Jue not to be discouraged in his development, and finally worry about the wear and tear of Zhang Jue's meniscus.

(Actually, many people have meniscus wear and tear. Mushrooms also wear out after running too much. The doctor asked me to stop running for a while, and then prescribed chondroitin, not to mention Zhang Jue who needs to do quadruple jumps. trained athletes).

Coach Lu made his debut after the World Championships, and Zhang Jue's road to championship began after his debut. After all, which hot-blooded hero has not been specially trained by his grandfather and then upgraded in a flash? Cough cough.
