Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

The annual Figure Skating World Youth Championships is an opportunity for young athletes from all over the world to show their talents, let the World Federation of Federations recognize them, and step into the world of figure skating.It should be said that the significance of discovering new people is far greater than the significance of honoring skaters.Of course, in order to keep a good ranking in the World Youth Championships, some countries will send some domestic second-tier players who can go to the World Championships long ago to compete for medals with these young children.

In recent years, the World Youth Championship has been silent since Xishu's Chu Xuan jumped out of the youth group, and few outstanding newcomers appeared.This year, a brand new name changes all that.He is also from Xishu. He is 16 years old this year and is the bronze medalist of this year's Xishu National Championships. He could have gone to the World Championships, but he was sent to the World Youth Championships like an abandoned child because he was too young and lacked competition experience.

Of course, the reason why he became famous before meeting him was not because of these.It's because... according to rumors, his coach appeared and disappeared like a shooting star 20 years ago...a legendary figure skater.The youngest Olympic gold medalist in figure skating in history, Nashu.

Rather than saying that the person they are following is Qing Yue, it is better to say that the person they are following is actually Naxiu.After leaving the ice world for [-] years, how is that boy who created countless miracles now?Is his blond hair not as dazzling as it was back then, and his childish face that left endless memories for the public can no longer find the beauty of the past?Has the once slender figure already gained weight?

Because of such anticipation, Qing Yue, who was unknown in the world and participated in the world competition for the first time, was blocked heavily when he entered the arena.However, most of the cameras just panned the lens to the unusually thin boy who walked down the aisle wearing a big hat and bowing his head.They put almost all their attention on the blond man with unknown age who was following Qing Yue.

The blond man had a warm smile on his face.He is handsome, charming, and gentle, with an aristocratic demeanor that makes women unable to take their eyes off him.His figure was not as deformed as the outside world guessed, and he was even slender and straight.It's just... the passage of time has built up a shelf for him that seems to make people feel more secure.

"Na Xiu! Are you Na Xiu?"

A reporter couldn't restrain his excitement and asked in a trembling voice.But Naxiu just responded with a shallow smile, which was enough to make countless people waiting in front of the TV as excited as the reporter who asked the question...

"Friends of the audience, please pay attention! This is the scene of the men's figure skating competition at the World Youth Championship. Today, all contestants will show a short program of 2:50. Even though this is a competition for the youth group, the World Youth Championship The game requirements also include jumping, spinning and footwork, which have a certain degree of difficulty.

In today's competition, it was the 16-year-old Xishu player, Qing Yue, who received a lot of attention.According to the data, he was only discovered and trained by his current coach, Naxiu, three years ago.It can be said that it took him three years to reach the heights that many players take ten years to reach. "

"Oh, that's not necessarily the case. For many players, it might be a height that they can't reach in ten years."

After a commentator with a relatively calm voice finished speaking, a more humorous voice came from the broadcasting system in the commentary room. Viewers of the show had no doubt that someone with a calm voice would give the humorous narrator a contemptuous glance at this moment, but the more amusing voice didn't seem to care at all.

"Ah, viewers, look, the boy on camera is the Qingyue we're talking about. He doesn't look like a 16-year-old boy should have a physique. I'm sure he must be underweight..."

While the two commentators, one serious and the other humorously teased, a few more gazes quietly appeared in the stands.Those are Alek, Le Sheng and Chu Xuan...

The three national champions of their respective events were watching Qingyue, who was making his first appearance on the world stage.He looked... extraordinarily different today.He dyed his hair a lighter, softer color to better present his competition to the world.

At this moment, it was time for him to prepare for his appearance. He was standing in the ice rink, stepping on the ice lightly with his hands on the edge of the wall, jumping on tiptoe, listening to the blond man, his coach talking to him before the game. exhorted, and nodded from time to time.He seemed nervous because he didn't even smile at all, and the profile captured by the camera spoke of silence.

And then...he turned around and skating towards the center of the rink.Facing the auditorium, he slowly raised his hands in greeting.At that moment, there was an uproar in the audience.

It was a boy...beautiful beyond their imagination, as if he had walked out of a picture scroll of ancient Greek mythology that once existed.He has a melancholy temperament that exists alone outside the world, as if just looking into his eyes, your soul will be sucked away into a strange space.

His hair is beautiful, blowing up in the wind while gliding, forming a beautiful picture.When he was timing at the central station of the ice rink, the music sounded slowly.It was a piano chord that spoke of soft sadness, and it continued softly as the violin rose gradually, and it never faded out, becoming the soul interspersed in the whole piece of music.

However, just as the audience was silent in the softness that was created, the teenager slid backwards for a certain distance and accelerated, then took a step forward and took off with a very shocking Axel three-week A half-hop started him.Clean and beautiful, it's just flawless.When he landed on the ice in an unusually beautiful posture and slid out a charming trajectory in line with the melody of the music, applause erupted belatedly due to the shock.

However, when the applause broke out, the young man who stood on the world stage for the first time, his expression did not change at all, it seemed that... he was not moved at all.The teenager who slid out after falling on the ice with one foot raised his hands slowly as the music crescendoed. When the melodies played by several different instruments were poured into this piece of music together, the music full of classical artistic beauty Dance transitions and dazzling displays of footwork build together...

"Beautiful! Really beautiful 3A! Qingyue's opening jump has a high degree of difficulty, but he did it very well! The ice landing is very stable, and the posture of staying in the air is also very beautiful! The most rare thing is his ice landing The timing fits well with the midrange of the music! It can be seen that his jump was done with ease!

After this stunning opening, beautiful dance moves.This set of choreography incorporates many classical elements, including ballet and modern dance.It can be seen that this contestant is well-trained in dance and body, and this set of choreography also matches his own temperament very well.

ah!Immediately afterwards, there was a double jump of triple axel and rear toe jump!That is what we often call 3F-3T!beautiful!This series of jumps is very well connected, and it doesn't give people the feeling of powerlessness!The loss of speed is also quite small! "

Such a commentary came from the commentary room of an authoritative TV station.And Chu Xuan... looked at Qing Yue who was present and became silent.Qing Yue at this moment... made him feel terrified.It was only two months later... He was able to intuitively feel Qingyue's progress again.The last time he was in the National Championships...his combo jump was not perfected to this level...

But now, just everything contained in that combo is enough to make him feel suffocated by being pressed every step of the way.As far as jumping is concerned, Chu Xuan at this time has been surpassed by Qing Yue.After discovering this, Chu Xuan looked at the audience with a solemn expression.

Suddenly, he was brought back to his mind by the discussion of the audience in the area next to him.I saw that there were several young men wearing Xishu sports jackets, among them a young man who looked to be in his twenties was quite charismatic.He has a tall nose, a handsome face, and a darker complexion, but this adds to his attractiveness between youthfulness and maturity.

He didn't start to speak, but looked at the slender figure in the field seriously, with a trace of complicated emotions in his eyes.

Chu Xuan can be sure that this person looks familiar to him, he... must have seen him somewhere.And the comments from the audience in the next row made Chu Xuan confirm the identity of that person.

That's exactly... Le Sheng, who has pinned his hopes on Xishu's snowboarding.But their ski team... won't they start their competition in ten days?How could you have the leisure to come here?

Chu Xuan's gaze caught Le Sheng's attention, causing him to turn his head to look in the direction the gaze came from, only to see a boy he had never seen before, wearing a Xishu representative team coat, nodded to him and then went back He turned his attention back to Qing Yue who was performing a short program in the field.

When they were distracted, Qingyue had already finished the last of the three required jumps in the short program, 3Lutz, a triple hook jump.

2: The 50-second short program soon ended with a lot of rotation and footwork displayed in the course of the music, but... when the boy knelt on the ice with one knee, supported the ice with one hand, and raised the other hand, with the slender When the whole program ended with a charming curve of his body leaning back as much as possible... the people in the auditorium watching the game couldn't get their minds back for a long time.

As if... that was not a sports event, nor was it simply a performance showing off ice skills.Even... It's not so much a process of him showing himself to the referees, but a process of conquering the hearts of all spectators.He on the ice... makes people sink into it, unable to extricate themselves...

The author has something to say: When I first said that I wanted to write about figure skating, a friend of mine said to me: "My dear, you actually want to write about figure skating!!? Then how do you write about the competition? Are you going to say 'Ah! He jumps so high! Ah! He jumps so well! Ah! That's why he won the championship!'?"

Well, now I finally write about the game.I hope... at least it can make everyone not disappointed.In addition, the men's singles competition in figure skating is divided into short program and long program.So there will be more exciting long programs after a episode is inserted~!
