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

In such an important event as the grand prix finals, any camera will focus on the competition, and all eyes will be on the athletes who are competing.

Anyway, they are all strong players who have reached the finals. In recent years, athletes, whether they are veterans or newly emerging teenagers, have a good balance between technology and art, so their programs are not bad for viewing .

According to the convention, the competition of the youth group will be held in the afternoon, and the competition of the adult group will be concentrated in the evening. Arthur Cohen won No.2 in the short program in the afternoon, and Halhasa, the No.1, is only 1.3 higher than him Points, winning quite thrilling.

After all, Halhasha's 3a was not stable yet. Although he could complete it, he staggered a bit, and the quality of his jump was not high, while Arthur's jump happened to be done well, so the difference between them was not that big.

But Zhang Jue's progress in the competition was obviously not as smooth as he was in the youth group.

In the youth group, Zhang Jue played casually, no matter how he waved, he still won the championship. In the adult group, he was obviously calm and conservative. The 3t with a lower score is extremely difficult to see. It usually appears when the short program overturns, and the free skating dare not continue.

But Zhang Jue’s short program is well known to everyone, and it’s hard to beat it even if it’s a wave. It’s like a super buff. It’s like a bug in the figure skating event where the world champions fall from time to time.

Only in this finals, anyone with a discerning eye knows that Zhang Jue's condition is probably not good.

The Chinese women's singles who was sitting not far from him also showed concern, and turned to talk to the coach.

Xu Chuo: "Coach, Zhang Jue..."

Coach Zhao shook his head: "It's a developmental level. He has grown too fast. Figure skating is a very precise sport. Any slight changes will affect the athletes. It's normal for Zhang Jue to be unable to adapt to his new height in a short period of time. .”

She looked regretful: "If our talent reserve is deeper, we should let Zhang Jue take a break, or let other players hold his current position first, let him have less pressure and pass the developmental test with peace of mind, but the problem If there is no one, no matter how he develops, when he is the only men's singles player in China, he will definitely not be able to retreat from this kind of competition."

"Now it depends on whether he can control his growth. It's really overgrown. If it's good, the seedling will be useless."

Coach Zhao’s tone was not lacking in regret. After all, everyone knows how talented Brother Yi is. He can even challenge McQueen in his prime. When selecting materials, choose those that may grow taller.

Although Zhang Jue developed before, no one expected that he could develop so fast.

Arthur couldn't understand their conversation, he was reluctant to watch McQueen performing on the field, finally gritted his teeth, gave up the wonderful game, got up and went to look for Zhang Jue in the player tunnel.

Then in a place where there were no people, he saw Zhang Jue sitting on a bench, stretching out his feet and asking the team doctor to apply cold compresses to his ankles.

There is a faint red scar on his ankle, which is the mark caused by long-term friction between the skates and the skin common to figure skaters, and the ankle is also slightly deformed.

Even though theoretically it has only been less than three years since he resumed training, the frantic practice of quadruple jumps has gradually made Zhang Jue's feet look like other figure skaters.

At that moment, Arthur subconsciously asked himself, would he be afraid to see such feet?

His feet have not yet become like Zhang Jue. If he quits the game now, he can still have a relaxed and dazzling life with a wealthy family and a handsome appearance. He doesn't have to fall and fall on the ice, and he doesn't have to endure a lot of physical damage from training.

But the strange thing is that it was this moment that strengthened his desire to continue skating.

Zhang Jue sat there quietly. His profile has the magic power to make people lose their words. Like the tall angel in mythology, it gives people a strong sense of distance. The tail of black hair hangs on his thigh, which awakens Arthur's awareness of beauty. Know.

This boy is beautiful, unapproachable, untouchable, and far away like a child of God while dancing on the ice.

It was this kind of person, the way he indulged in the performance on the ice and fought hard for victory made Arthur want to get close to him.

After a while, Zhang Jue got up, was supported by the coach and slowly walked back to the arena.

The competition outside was almost over. Zhang Jue only won the fourth place in the short program this time. McQueen, Vasily and Martin, who joined the program, went to receive small medals together. Zhang Jue continued to watch the competition accompanied by the coaching staff.

He is very concerned about his teammates who came to Sochi with him, that is, Huang Ying and Guan Lin who are about to compete in the pair skating short program.

The oriole has now grown to 1.5 meters. Coach Ma also did not let the girl excessively restrain her diet. She should control it, but she did not feed her a high-protein, high-calcium nutritious meal. The field performance of the two young players has become more and more stable.

The most important thing is that Huang Ying has no injuries at this dangerous stage, and the technical decline is not serious. This is the biggest victory.

They are adapting to new shapes and techniques, and their performances are much more mature than before.

Shen Liu touched his chin with great interest: "The setbacks and difficulties of this season have made their tacit understanding even better."

He clearly saw that when the two children were about to perform a single jump together, they jumped in such a tacit understanding without even looking at each other's figure.

A beautiful 2a, as a single jump, this difficulty room is absolutely impossible in the finals of the adult group, because except for them, everyone else's single jump is 3t or even 3s, but as long as the single jump is successful, the next Technical movements such as throwing twists, throwing jumps, spirals, and lifts are opportunities for them to recover points!

Zhang Junbao was full of admiration: "Old Ma is still good at taking care of children. Like me, he is a person who pays special attention to the long-term development of athletes. Huang Ying is lucky to meet him."

Yang Zhiyuan sighed: "It's a pity that these two children are also very talented, so before the body has not yet grown up, they were eager to face difficulties, and they insisted on practicing throwing four. I was afraid that they would suffer more injuries in the future. The old horse told me on the plane. However, he is particularly worried about the health of the two children, and he also regrets that Doctor Qin has retired and is far away from them, so he cannot take the children to Doctor Qin for physical therapy."

"It's okay. Next year, these two children will definitely enter the national team. The athletes participating in the Winter Olympics must have the identity of the national team. Zhang Jue will also be the same at that time. There must be good doctors there."

Zhang Jue was puzzled: "Then should I go too? But I will take the college entrance examination next year."

The kid is a sophomore in high school this year, and he happened to be a senior in high school during the Olympic season, so he just happened to meet.

The two coaches and the first team doctor subconsciously wanted to refute him saying that it must be more important than the Olympics. Then they thought of Ms. Zhang Qingyan's face and couldn't help shivering.

Oh, it's over, next year there will be a difficulty comparable to Zhang Jue's development.

Zhang Junbao felt bitter, he thought how he brought an apprentice, he was like Tang Monk learning Buddhist scriptures, one difficulty is not resolved, the next difficulty has already started beckoning, there is no end to pay back!

Unlike Zhang Jue who almost fell in the short program, Huang Ying and Guan Lin scored their highest score of the season in the short program, and forced themselves into the top three of the short program as rookies, happily winning small medals.

Although Yang Zhiyuan found that Zhang Jue's injured right ankle was loose through manual physical examination, and his ligaments definitely had problems when he kicked it, but no one mentioned the matter of retiring from the game.

It wasn't that Zhang Junbao didn't call the country, but Song Cheng's response was the sound of pills spilling out of the bottle and falling all over the floor, followed by a weak voice, "Okay, the child will retire if he can't handle it, his feet are important."

But Sun Qian's response was that, as long as Zhang Jue is not too far from skating, then try to finish the skating, it doesn't matter what the result is.

Seeing that tonight's game was over, the child slowly got up while supporting the back of the chair, and left the arena with Zhang Junbao carrying him on his back.

His body fat has decreased, but his weight has steadily increased a lot. When Zhang Junbao carried him on his back, he said: "When you finish growing, uncle should not be able to carry you."

Leaning on Zhang Junbao's thick and warm shoulders, Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes: "Then I will carry you on my back."

Zhang Junbao snorted and laughed: "Why do I want you to carry it? I'm not so injured that I can't walk."

Zhang Jue thought that you were not injured enough to walk, but I really carried you on my back. When you were suffering from liver cancer, I carried you out to bask in the sun, coaxed you to drink red bean water, and patted you The chest guarantees that the family's money is enough for another round of chemotherapy.

I am willing to do everything my son did to my father for you, and I have no complaints after suffering too much.

He whispered: "Uncle, you said before that you wanted to see the Chinese men's singles on the podium, and I can do it soon."

Zhang Junbao replied: "Well, you do what you can. For me, your health is always more important."

Shen Liu stroked the child's hair: "Yes, without you before, the men's singles in China did not collapse. The experience of those who have come here is that if you want to skate happily, don't put too much pressure on yourself, and don't put yourself It’s too serious, the Grand Prix is ​​still wonderful without you.”

They all know that as a coach, they should properly keep their children on their toes, but people's hearts are full of flesh. After getting along for a long time, Zhang Xiaoyu's health has long been more important to them than the podium and honor.

Zhang Junbao: "Xiaoyu, uncle still said the same thing. Let's observe for a day first. If your condition is still not good the day after tomorrow, then we will retire. If you want to be scolded, I will be scolded. I am not afraid to tell you. I think the old uncle was in the army. My son, I wrote three times as many reviews as you!"

Zhang Jue is under the supervision of Zhang Qingyan. Although he sometimes gets violent because of his violent temper, he never dares to smoke or drink, otherwise his mother can smash his head with a casserole. Zhang Junbao was rebellious compared to Zhang Jue back then, not only Smoking and drinking, and because of worshiping Bu Jingyun, he burnt instant noodle rolls, and kept writing reviews, which made his coach's hairline recede a full 10 centimeters.

Well, it’s Coach Song, so Coach Song would occasionally say that the Zhang family’s uncle and nephew were sent by heaven to torture him. This is really true. The two generations of Zhang’s men’s singles combined made Coach Song’s hairline recede by 18. Centimeters, it's completely Mediterranean at the moment.

Then they heard Zhang Jue, who was always mischievous, let out a long sigh: "But my mother said that I may be as tall as my father. If I don't work hard now, I might not have the chance to work hard in the future. What if I grow to 1.9 meters?"

1.9 m.

The two coaches and the team doctor felt a throbbing pain in their hearts.

Zhang Junbao took a deep breath and replied: "You have to believe in your mother's genes, she will work hard to neutralize 1.9 meters into 1.7 meters."

If it doesn’t work, he can accept 1.7 meters five, but Zhang Jue’s speed flow will definitely be abolished, and it’s hard to say whether he can slide at the current level in the future.

Alas, if Zhang Jue sinks into the lake after he grows up, he will probably hurt Zhongyong and the like. The sense of loss from being a top athlete to the second-tier is too heavy for a teenager.

This was too unexpected for them, because Zhang Jue studied with Coach Lu when he was a child, and had his bone age measured when he entered the provincial team. The main reason was to prevent some athletes from faking their age and continuing to participate in youth competitions as older athletes. Group games bully other children.

At that time, the doctor asked about the height of Zhang Jue's parents, and then used that method to measure the height. The final result was that the doctor very euphemistically said that the child would not be too tall in the future, which made Coach Song, Zhang Junbao and others happy for so many years .

It wasn't until recently that Zhang Junbao learned about the height of Zhang Jue's father's line that Zhang Junbao learned from Lan Kun that in fact, the two brothers were not allowed to participate in the bone age test.

Because Fa’s data samples come from children in China, but their growth rate is similar to that of blacks living in America. The doctor said that they can grow two meters. In the end, they were only in their early 1.9 meters, and only their arm span miraculously reached two meters. Anyway, after this result came out, the Lan brothers were once complained about as black people with yellow skin.

Not only the body proportions and jumping ability are similar, but even the musical talent and sense of rhythm are also very black.

For various reasons, Zhang Jue's final height was not predicted accurately anyway.

Zhang Jue: "..."

I'm really sorry, even though he didn't sleep for 8 hours a day during the puberty period in his previous life, and he didn't take good nutrition and exercise regularly, but Ms. Zhang's genes didn't neutralize his height to 1.7 meters.

For Zhang Jue, the puberty period is probably also the time when his father has the strongest sense of presence in his life. Before that, his father's greatest sense of presence was when someone sent him a copy of the copy shortly after Ms. Zhang passed away. The obituary said that his own father got drunk after learning of Ms. Zhang's death, and finally died of drunk driving. The bar he lived in was sold to compensate others. Zhang Jue didn't have any inheritance.

It’s better for the old uncle, the old uncle is his treasure, even for the sake of the old uncle, Zhang Jue, who is getting better at figure skating, plans to do his best before the end of this season.
