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

Destiny is like a roller coaster, going up and down, no one can guess what it will turn out to be, maybe you thought you were going to go up, but with a whimper, this broken car plunged down again.

This is the fate of the Chinese figure skating men's singles. Everyone thought it was about to rise, but they fell to the bottom in the next second. After the leader of the youth group retired due to injury, the leader of the adult group also fell up.

There is a saying in figure skating that it is difficult to increase the performance score, but it will not be easily lost. The Chinese men's singles have not been able to rise before, and the referees of international competitions do not like their performances.

After Shen Liu exploded in Vancouver, his performance score rose to the top in one fell swoop, and with his quadruple jump, as long as he skates well, his rise in the world ranking is a sure thing.

Unexpectedly, the only one in China who can do quadruple jumps fell on a triple axel and broke his Achilles tendon, so he had to retire.

Zhang Jue didn't know the specific injury of Shen Liu, but in his memory, Shen Liu could still fight in the international arena for two years as the first brother.

As for the accident that happened at the 2010 World Championships, it seemed to be true in his memory.

Figure skating competitions have always been in groups of six, and the six with the strongest strength will appear in the last group. In the last group of the men's singles at the 2010 World Championships in the previous life, it was during the 6-minute practice that Russia's brother Vasily and the United States One crashed on the ice.

People once thought that this was Vasily's dissatisfaction with the American brother's gold medal in the Olympics. In the end, Vasily was forced to retire by public opinion.

Since the rise of Shenliu in the Olympics, from the Olympics to the current World Championships, his short program has always been in the top five. It is normal to enter the last group in the free skating, but Zhang Jue did not think of the person who practiced in the last 6 minutes It turned into a sinking stream.

The Achilles tendon is the Achilles' heel of athletes. Without a good pair of Achilles tendons, no matter how well the muscles in other parts are trained, the athletes will not be able to exert themselves. Even if it is repaired through surgery, Shen Liu will not be able to do quadruple jumps again. up.

Maybe this is life.

Sun Qianchang sighed, and he sighed specially in the stairwell where no one was there, for fear that others would see it and say something nonsense to disturb Shen Liu's mood.

Even though he is the godfather of pair skating, as the head coach, which athlete who has supported the glory of Chinese figure skating in the international arena is not his favorite?

Shen Liu has supported this project by himself for so many years, and Sun Qian felt pain in his heart watching him go from being young to now.

Sun Qian thought to himself: "Shen Liu is really out of luck."

On the other hand, Shen Liu, who was worried by everyone, was very calm.

When Vasily walked into the ward, he saw this handsome Asian man reading a book. He subconsciously asked, "What book is this?"

Shen Liu raised his head and smiled friendlyly at the first Russian brother: "It's Spanish, I'm a graduate student of this major, and the professor asked me to start preparing my graduation thesis recently."

Families that practice figure skating are in good conditions. Since parents are willing to send their children to ice skating, they are naturally willing to send their children to various cram schools, so that their grades will not drop too much due to sports practice.

Shen Liu passed the college entrance examination and went to the University of Foreign Languages ​​himself, and he is a member of the student elite athlete group.

Vasily groaned and lowered his head.

"Sorry, you got hurt because of me."

The figure skating arena is not as clean as others think. This is not only because the referees prefer European and American athletes when scoring, but also some athletes are not a good thing.

Before the official start of the competition, the athletes will have 6 minutes of practice time for them to familiarize themselves with the field for the last time and adjust their pre-competition state. Vasily was about to try a quadruple jump and started to skating, and then he found his skating Other athletes appeared on the route, so he had to avoid it.

Then he encountered similar interference several times during the trial jump, until the last time, he avoided Shen Liu's take-off route.

This is the reason why Shen Liu was injured. In order to avoid Vasily, he used an incorrect way of exerting force when taking off, and staggered when landing on the ice, which caused a regrettable ending.

Vasili, as a figure skating fan, is currently recognized as the No. 1 men's singles man who has achieved high achievements in both jumping and art. Even if he misses the Olympic gold medal, his strength and popularity will not be damaged. After all, he is only 21 years old. Hold on, Participation in the next Olympics is possible.

And what about Shen Liu?He was abolished because of this accident, and even the Chinese men's singles team was also out of gear.

Vasili was extremely guilty, but Shen Liu said to him tolerantly: "It's okay, it's not your fault, you are also a victim."

Everyone was on the field at the time, and they were well aware of Vasily's plight, but when he said this, Vasily couldn't hold his head up even more.

This handsome young man with blond hair and blue eyes felt his breathing began to slow down. Shen Liu noticed that the eye circles of the other party were turning red, but he stubbornly refused to let go, and kept saying "sorry".

He felt helpless, thinking that this famous jumping genius was just a young man, so he comforted him a little more temperately, and then Vasili really cried.

There was only a row of "..." left in Shen Liu's heart, he silently pulled a few tissues and handed them over, Vasili took a few and wiped them, then pressed the tissue on Gao Gao's nose, making a loud sound.

Brother Yi judged from this that this Maozi should have rhinitis.

After Vasily recovered, he felt awkward, and sat on the side of the hospital bed and asked Shen Liu, "What are your plans for the future? Continue to study? Or do something else?"

After retiring, many figure skaters will participate in commercial performances, perform on the ice and make a living from it, but Shen Liu's feet are already like this, obviously it is impossible to return to the ice, and he seems to be studying well, wow Siri thought he might be an interpreter.

Shen Liu looked at his feet and thought for a moment.

"Vassily, I have always dreamed of being able to win more glory for my country in the international arena. Now that my career is over, it does not mean that my dream will stop there. hope."

"I'll be a coach and bet my dream on that hope!"

Thinking of the petite figure jumping up and down briskly on the ice with her hands raised, Shen Liu's eyes flashed with firmness.

"It doesn't take a few years before you see me on the dugout at international level."

After learning of Shen Liu's decision, no matter how surprised others were, Sun Qian resolutely gave Shen Liu the greatest support. With the support of the godfather of Chinese figure skating, the procedures were quickly implemented, and Shen Liu got the right to return to the H provincial team to teach appointment.

After recovering from his injuries, he boarded the plane home.

What athletes want to do most after retirement may be to open up to eat and drink, and then stay at home and be lazy for a while. After all, they have been self-disciplined for so many years, which is also the origin of the theory that athletes will gain weight after retirement.

Shen Liu is relatively self-disciplined, he rushed to the provincial team's training hall as soon as he got off the plane.

For many athletes, they trained from a young age, and then went up step by step from the city team and the provincial team until they entered the national team and began to fight for the country in the international arena.

So the provincial team of H province is Shen Liu's home. He has deep feelings for this place, but he actually has only one purpose for coming back.

After entering the provincial team, Song Cheng came over to greet him in person: "It's been a hard journey, you told you earlier that you were coming, and I will drive directly to pick you up."

Shen Liu dragged the suitcase, walked slowly with one hand on a cane, and said politely: "How can I ask the leader to pick me up? Where are Senior Brother Zhang and Xiaoyu?"

There was a hint of clarity in Song Cheng's eyes: "I'm practicing land jumping, it's still the same place, if you're in a hurry, go there first."

Seeing the young man walking towards the training hall in a hurry, his footsteps were a little unsteady, Song Cheng shook his head.

The young man was too anxious to run back without taking off his crutches, but as an old skater with a dream of rising, he could understand Shen Liu's mood.

They all want to change China's weakness in the international figure skating arena too much.

It was Saturday, and under the command of his head coach Zhang Junbao, Zhang Jue jumped onto a box jump at a height of 40 centimeters, then tapped his right foot lightly, and his body rotated to the ground.

This is a 3F land jump training.

Zhang Junbao reprimanded seriously: "I said later that the inside point ice jump is to take off with the inside blade. Why are your movements so awkward? When you get on the ice, your blade has to be pressed inward. When you take off now, your feet are flat. There is a flat blade on the ice, and it is not standardized, do you know that?"

Zhang Jue had a bitter face: "Uncle..." Under Zhang Junbao's stare, he quickly changed his words, "Coach, I can't press the inner blade on land. This posture looks like I turned my foot to the inside."

"How can you be able to press when you practice land 2F?"

Zhang Jue defended: "The effort required to jump for two weeks and three weeks is not at the same level at all, and the postures used cannot be the same. It's alright, alright, stop staring, I'll try again."

As he said so, he jumped on the jump box again and landed 3F.

Zhang Jue's skill configuration is very biased. Except for the simplest 3T with the left foot on the ice, the rest of the 3S and 3lo learned are all blade jumps, and the 3F and 3lz as ice jumps have not been practiced well so far.

It’s not right to say that Zhang Jue’s explosive power is insufficient. The triple axel jump requires a 1080-degree turn in the air. Zhang Jue is a person who can delay the turn and lift his hands up during the 3S jump, which shows that he can handle the 1080-degree turn with ease. Zhang Junbao secretly calculated his mid-air rotation limit, and it was almost 1200 degrees.

3A, which requires three-and-a-half turns in the air, is only 1260 degrees. According to the rules of international competitions, as long as the difference between the degrees and the full circle does not exceed 90 degrees, this jump is considered valid. That is to say, Zhang Jue's turning ability Enough for him to challenge 3A!

He looked at Zhang Jue's back with puzzlement.

"Why on earth can't jump out of 3F? With his ability, he shouldn't..."

Zhang Jue was also puzzled, and the uncle and nephew stood by the equipment to discuss this issue.

Zhang Junbao pointed out: "Xiaoyu, you have to know that it is already the end of May. This year's competitions start early, and the domestic test competition will start in three months. In mid-September, the first stop of the Youth Figure Skating Awards The competition will begin, and before that, you must practice all five kinds of triple jumps, and it is best to practice another jump."

Not only is it a matter of jumping, but Zhang Jue also needs to prepare the short program, free skating, and production of Costen (performance clothes) for the competition.

There are many things to do, they can't be stuck in a 3F all the time.

Zhang Jue was also distressed. He promised his uncle that he would start his career as an athlete and that he would participate in competitions in the future. He didn't want the problem to be caused by his lack of ability.

Having been stuck in 3F for so long, Zhang Jue was very puzzled. Isn't he very talented?Obviously the blade jump is so easy to practice, why can't the ice jump?After working hard for so long, his jumping height has also increased?

Is his high talent just an illusion, in fact, is 3F his ceiling?

"Let him try to get rid of the habit of using delayed twists every time he takes off."

A clear voice sounded from behind the two of them, Zhang's uncle and nephew turned their heads together, and saw Shen Liu leaning on a cane, panting and smiling at them.

"Zhang Jue is used to using delayed turns when doing any jumps. This is very good. The jump judges with superior skills and ease of use also like it. Seeing it will definitely give you a higher GOE, but the first element of doing a jump is to complete it first. The jump, not how good it looks when it's done."

Before Zhang Jue appeared, Shen Liu was the only jumping expert in China who could use delayed turns. He had much richer experience in this area than Zhang Junbao and Zhang Jue.

"Zhang Jue, try to tighten your body and turn with all your strength in the first week when jumping 3F. After you can handle this jump, it will not be too late to add delayed techniques."

On this day, Song Cheng announced that there was an additional assistant coach in the provincial team——Shen Liu. Currently, his main duty is to help the head coach train the students and teach him his superb jumping skills.

For Zhang Jue, after Zhang Junbao, his head coach, he has another Shen Yige who is dedicated to teaching him jumping.

The child looked at Shen Liu's feet with regret on his face: "You, are your feet really going to get better?"

Brother, I think it is more reliable for you to be an athlete than to be a coach, and you are not a top student, have you become a college teacher after you retire?Why is he now my coach?

You wake up!Engaging in sports is not as promising as academics and translators!

Shen Liu shook his head: "It's really not going to get better, as long as I can still slide down, I won't leave the stage. Now there is nothing I can do."

He half-kneeled in front of Zhang Jue: "I'll teach you quadrupeds in the future, okay?"

Zhang Jue glanced at Zhang Junbao, Zhang Junbao's face was full of "quickly agree to him", Zhang Jue turned his head, faced the expectation in Shen Liu's eyes, and finally nodded.

"it is good."

Anyway, the old uncle's dream has been taken over, and it seems nothing to add another Shenliu, but at this moment, Zhang Jue is indeed experiencing such a strong psychological pressure for the first time after his rebirth.

These people wanted to see him make a name for himself, but through the 3F incident, Zhang Jue really felt that he was not as good as they thought.

Shen Liu seemed to have noticed something, touched Zhang Jue's soft black hair, and spoke faster.

"Don't be pressured, I just think that if you want to skate to a higher level, you will definitely need my help. Don't forget, I am one of the best men's figure skaters in the world who are good at jumping. Just look at it In terms of ice jumping skills, I am no worse than Vasily."

Speaking of jumping, even with a cane in his hand, Shen Liu's aura still brightened with confidence visible to the naked eye.

Zhang Jue thought, of course I know your jumping skills are good, you must know that a year later the International Skating Federation will standardize the videos of quadruple jumps with clips of those men’s singles jumps, and you are the only person of yellow race selected in it.

No matter how bad the Asian men's singles are in the international arena, Shen Liu is indeed carrying the banner of the yellow-skinned men's singles.

Since he joined the provincial team, in less than a month, the skills of those children with bad jumping habits in the team have been improved by at least half, and Zhang Jue has made rapid progress. 3F, and tried the triple jump of 3F+2T+2T, and began to conquer 3lz.

At the same time, Zhang Jue's programming also began to be scheduled.

Generally speaking, the provincial team has a regular choreographer, who is usually a teacher from the dance academy in the province, and unless the level is very good, there are children who have hoped to participate in the official competition. If it is only a domestic competition, some children do not need to choreograph. It's your own show, you can play with the show of your brothers and sisters.

As athletes in the establishment, their Kosten was also allocated by the provincial team, and teachers from the School of Fashion Design were asked to help design it, and then sent to a professional Kosten production studio for processing.

Zhang Jue's treatment was particularly special, because of Shen Liu's request and Qin Xuejun's help, he successfully invited the best choreographer he could invite so far.

When Ms. Mia appeared on the training ground, several coaches who had been scolded and cried by her as athletes stood up subconsciously, their whole bodies tensed up.

Ms. Mia, who was full of gorgeous hair and elegant demeanor, glanced at the venue and asked Song Cheng in Mandarin with a Northeast accent.

"Where are Junbao and Xiaoyu?"
