Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

In November, Qing Yue and Chu Xuan were invited by the Planden Ice Association and the Turing Ice Association respectively to participate in the grand prix held in Planden and Turing respectively, and won the championships in Planden and Turing respectively. .After this battle, the status of these two young players from Xishu has risen rapidly in the world ice circle, and together with several other long-established favorites to win the championship, they have gained a lot of attention.

In January of the following year, Chu Xuan once again defeated Qingyue in this year's Xishu National Championships with a slight advantage, and once again won the national championship.This is the third time Chu Xuan has won the Xishu National Championship.And the situation between him and Qingyue in Xishu is almost the same as the confrontation between Freire and Alek in the world ice circle.

No matter how dissatisfied the Xishu Ice Association is with the world rankings of Qingyue and Chu Xuan, it cannot change the fact that they are the two most outstanding generals among the men's singles players of Xishu's generation.

In March, the World Championships arrived as scheduled.Even though it will make people feel very uncomfortable, Freire and Alec are indeed absent from this World Championships as previously stated by the Jia National Ice Association and the Planden Ice Association.

However, the media of all parties will not neglect the reports on the World Championships because of this. Instead, they will try their best to find new topics. Some authoritative media even listed the most promising players in this World Championships before the start of the season. 20 people, and made in-depth reports on them respectively.It can be said that without the two of them, the World Championships has more meaning of fighting for hegemony.

Under such circumstances, the Jia National Ice Association sent three promising newcomers, intending to tell the world that they are not just one Alek.However, Plandon, without Frere, was not so lucky.After the preliminary round, there was no sign of Planden on the stage of the World Championships.

After the short program at 2:50, the three newcomers sent by Jiaguo achieved good results with their excellent program arrangement and impressive on-the-spot performance.However, when Qing Yue and Chu Xuan, the two leaders of Xishu's new generation of men's singles players, finished their performances, those advantages seemed to disappear.

In addition, Nyolido, a player who appeared out of nowhere and seemed to have been born out of nowhere, was extolled by the outside world before the World Championships. The newcomer of Jia country completely lost his voice.

The World Championships can never lose color because of the absence of one or two players.It should be said that this is a world championship with a lot of wind and clouds. Without the two most eye-catching players, there will be more players with full of personality that will be noticed by everyone.

Nyolido has attracted the attention of many media because of his amazing spin, and has been compared with Freire many times.Regarding this, Nyolido was neither angry nor annoyed with a good temper.

Qingyue's wonderful quadruple jump also attracted media coverage from many countries.Although Qing Yue's status in the world ice circle is not high now, his influence on the ice circle cannot be underestimated.

In fact, since Qing Yue successfully performed a quadruple jump in the World Youth Championship two years ago, the world ice circle has set off a quadruple jump revolution again.Freire, the king of spin, boldly added a quadruple jump to the long program of the World Championships.Although that failure caused him to lose the title of world champion, he did not give up his attempt at quadruple jump in the next competition.

To this day, although Frere's quadruple jump is not stable, it is a signal that cannot be ignored.Since then, other players have started to practice the astonishingly difficult quadruple jump, hoping to become famous like Qing Yue in the World Championships.

A few days ago, some media secretly took pictures of Alek, who was nervously preparing for the Olympics, successfully completing the quadruple jump during training.

If it's just an unknown rookie who has repeatedly tried quadruple jumps in official competitions and succeeded, other players can turn a blind eye to him.But... what happens when more and more people start to focus on the technical difficulty of the quadruple jump?How many people can turn a deaf ear to this?

This year, Qing Yue won the World Championships with three perfect quadruple jumps.The young player stunned the audience with his perfect technique and artistic performance.His jump is breathtakingly beautiful, and his jump height and ice landing posture are far superior to other players.

The youthfulness and a little panic when participating in the World Championships last year have disappeared without a trace this year, and turned into a breath-stopping silence.When skating, he ignited the incomparable explosive power from his slightly thin body, which made people can only stare at his figure on the ice, but at the end of the music, he suddenly gathered that power.

The audience sitting at the scene, even the audience sitting in front of the TV watching the live broadcast, even after his show ended, it was difficult to let go of the entangled heart slowly, as if the boy had already left the stage he had constructed. However, all the people staring at his figure are trapped in it, so he can only watch him slowly leave the ice rink without being able to breathe, let alone shake that figure out of his mind...

What a strange feeling that was...it reminds me of Naxiu 20 years ago...

People can't help but sigh, and it's even more difficult to recover for a long time.

Last year, the media only reported on Qingyue in a small section after Alek and Freire won the medals, saying that he is a skater with rare talents. It will become a great tool.

Is Jinling a thing in a pond?Known as a jumping genius, the boy who set off a quadruple jump revolution in the ice world cannot always be left behind. His dazzling light was overshadowed by a group of strong players and he was unable to get on the podium.Everyone knows this.It's just... when this day really comes, everyone will still be unable to recover for a long time.

is it too fast?Or is it too slow?Regarding this point, no one can say for sure, it's just...it all happened so suddenly.At this time, everyone still regarded him as a future star in the world ice circle, so they did not expect that he would be in the middle of the podium in this World Championships.

Last year, when he just entered the senior group, he was squeezed into the group of strong players and couldn't resist. Even with all his strength, he still couldn't turn the tide. But now... he has entered the World Championships as a dark horse The pinnacle of the game.

It was the same dizziness and unconcealable excitement as when Freire won the bronze medal in the Olympics three years ago.However, the shock of this World Championship is far more than that.Like Qing Yue, Chu Xuan, who was not paid enough attention by the media due to the promotion of the Jia National Ice Association for the three newcomers before the game, followed Qing Yue and won the third place in the World Championships, making this year's World Championships Contrary to outside speculation, it has become a veritable "Year of Xishu".

As for the three newcomers who were entrusted with high hopes by the Jia Country, not only did they fail to meet the expectations of the Jia Country Ice Association, two of the three made it to the podium, and Qing Yue, Chu Xuan, and another player from another country The strong will team up to block them from the podium, and even be blocked from No.4 by Niolido, who came out of nowhere.This is a situation that the figure skating powerhouse, Jia Country, never imagined.

They thought that although Qingyue had potential and room for advancement that should not be underestimated, sooner or later he would grow into a figure who could threaten Alek, the number one general in the Jia Kingdom, but they underestimated Qingyue's growth rate.

As for Chu Xuan...he was not taken seriously by Jia Guo.Although he is the champion of the Xishu National Championships three times, the Jia National Ice Association only thinks that he is a figure skater who can only be ranked among the second-rate players in his life.

But they never thought that the new generation of men's singles players they were proud of would suffer such a setback. After this defeat, they would not even be able to keep the three players' places in the next year's Olympic Games.

This is the world of figure skating, where changes are changing rapidly, and no one can be the eternal king.Maybe you were on the throne at the top a moment ago, but you have been kicked out in the blink of an eye.It may be this year's Jia country.

They wanted to make the number one player Alek preserve his strength and step up his preparations on the eve of the Olympics, and show the new generation of players that they are proud of to the world, and use this to tell everyone how good the reserve strength of Jia is. amazing.However, they made a mistake in their wishful thinking and made wedding dresses for others in vain.

"Qingyue and I won against the three newcomers from Jia Kingdom? Oh, it is true, but I don't think there is anything to be proud of. I mean, a year ago, we lost to Jia Kingdom Alek, one year later, the newcomer from Jia Country lost to us again. The significance of these two results is essentially the same. However, next year, when we face Alek again, the loss It’s not necessarily us.”

In the interview after the game, Chu Xuan said such a paragraph without humility.Although the arrogance made the high-level officials of the Jiaguo Ice Association itch their teeth, it also made many people faintly feel a strange feeling—the two-year-old Freyr and Ahmad in the world ice arena The situation of Lek's double dragon struggle for hegemony...maybe about to change.

It's going to change...

It has become an indisputable fact that the era of the quadruple jump is about to be reopened.This era...is destined to make people eager to try, and it is destined to have more than one shining name.As a figure skater, it is both fortunate and unfortunate to be able to compete in the World Championships in this era.
