Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"Next, Qingyue will jump a 3F triple axel jump! And, after a series of footwork and spins after that, he will jump another triple axel! The score of ice triple axel is 5.5, second only to Axel's triple axel with 8.2 points and hook triple axel with 6 points.

What's interesting is that for many players, Qingyue can easily complete Axel's triple axel, which is a technical difficulty for many players, and almost never makes a mistake in the game.Even among all jumps, the difficulty ranks second. Qingyue can also perform the hook jump with great changes in the center of gravity between take-off and landing.However, the back outer knot jump and the back inner knot jump, which are what we often call the Lubu jump and the Shakhov jump, are difficult to complete in the competition.Even he has a high turnover rate on both jumps.

That's because these two kinds of jumps have almost no transition before take-off, and they all rely on the strength of the ankle to take off.For Qingyue, it was almost impossible to accomplish.So he gave up these two jumps in this Olympic Games. "

The male commentator looked at Qingyue's score sheet and said such a commentary.Yes, although Qing Yue has the title of jumping genius, but he can't master all the six jumps that exist in the current rules.Or in other words... It cannot be completed without mistakes in the game.

What is funny is that what baffles him is not the two jumps that are recognized as the most difficult among the six jumps, but the rear inner knot loop jump and the rear outer knot loop jump that rank second in difficulty.

Qingyue's strengths lie in his innate judgment at the jumping point and his amazing balance.

As a result, he can pull off almost any kind of jump as long as he's given the chance to touch the ice.He even completed the Axel triple axel before he learned how to ice.However, even now that he has won the title of world champion, he is still unable to accurately jump a triple axel jump or a triple axel jump in the competition.

Even a jumping genius may not necessarily be able to master all six kinds of jumps completely and proficiently, this is not a big deal.In other words, maybe we should feel lucky for Qingyue, because the two jumps he couldn't perform in the competition were not jumps with high points.Even the triple axel, which is not too difficult for him, can make up for the restrictions on the types of jumps in the rules.

"Yes. According to the rules of the competition, any kind of triple or quadruple jump cannot appear more than twice in the competition. However, in the long program of the men's singles event, players can have at most eight jumps, of which there are at most There can be three consecutive jumps.

Excluding the two quadruple jumps where the ice is tapped on the back and outside, Qingyue still has six chances to jump.That means he has to do two jumps other than the axel jump and the hook jump.Therefore, Qingyue chose the triple axel, which is what we often call the Philips jump! "

Then, the commentator's speech speed became faster and faster, and everyone couldn't help opening their eyes wide to see Qingyue who was about to slide into the jump with a big step after squatting and spinning.However, it is obviously too difficult for Qingyue to move from the inner edge to the outer edge.As a result, he made a mistake that was enough to turn into a penalty point.

This mistake caused him to miss the grasp of the perfect take-off node, and made his landing on the ice unstable. He even supported the ice surface with his hands to maintain his body balance after landing on the ice.

Many people held their breath because of Qingyue's mistake, and some even prayed for the young figure skater on the court.The narrator even made an annoyed sound, feeling sorry for Qingyue.It was a misstep in the second half of the show.As we all know, the mistakes made in the second half of the program will leave a deeper impression on the referees, thereby affecting the impression points they give, and directly reflected in the content points of the program.

This made Qing Yue, who had devoted himself to this special "battle" before that, panic.The vindictiveness and fighting spirit he had generated since he entered the competition state actually weakened at this moment.But the music didn't stop.

'I have one more chance.The subsequent 3Lz-2T jumps and 4T. '

When he was almost in a panic, an exceptionally calm voice sounded in his head.At that moment, his mind seemed to be clearer than anyone else's. If he still wanted to get on the Olympic podium, where was his...only chance left?Just how many points will be deducted for the mistake just now.

According to the rules of the figure skating event, all jumps after the start of the program will have 2% extra points.However, because many players cannot ensure whether they still have the physical strength to take off after 10 minutes of the long program, more players still focus on jumping in the first half of the game.

However, Qing Yue did not do that in this Olympic Games.Due to the programming of the show, he needs to show the tragic self-sacrifice of the Spartan warriors for freedom and glory in the second half of the show.So... this time, he put a quadruple jump and a double jump in the second half of the competition...

Yet the music goes on.When the music became more and more intense, the pictures in the movie appeared one after another, and he seemed to see the magnificent picture of the king of Sparta leading a mere 300 people to guard the hot spring pass in the movie.

When most of the Greek city-states surrendered without a fight because they were intimidated by the powerful force of the powerful enemy Persia, the brave Spartans held the first line of defense in Greece.

Now that I have come here, I never thought about going back.

Even in the face of a hundred times, or even a thousand times the enemy, he is not afraid and fights desperately.

Even when the Greek traitors led the way and made them face the enemy, they never thought of retreating.

Because... Sparta cannot be weak!Don't be tied down by emotions!Only those who are strong and fearless are qualified to call themselves... Spartans.

If there was one thing they regretted, it was that... so few Spartans enjoyed the honor of sacrifice.

ah!Zeus, the god of heaven, hammers the sky with thunder and lightning!Sweep the bloody invaders with a hurricane!And your descendants, the descendants of Hercules, will use their flesh and blood to defend you a line of defense that even a million warriors cannot crush!Testify the blood flowing on them with their fearless courage and generous determination to die!

I saw that the movements of the people in the field gradually accelerated with the crescendo of the music, and the rich and infectious body movements made people almost forget that he was about to take off later.However, at this moment, he had already started to slide backwards, and his whole body exuded the courage to never flinch.

If you zoom in on the camera lens facing Qingyue, you will find that the previous gliding, jumping and joint rotation have consumed too much of his physical strength.He couldn't even stop the violent heaving of his chest before another shocking jump.

Or... At this moment, his mental concentration and excitement full of fighting spirit could no longer stop him from panting.After the audience held their breath for a long time...he finally took off again with the left blade after the three-character step of the right front inside blade.

When he took off, it seemed that even time stopped.Everyone looked at him, at this young skater who was shining brightly on the ice, at this...the immortal legend in the world of ice, Naxiu, the only heir to the world, performed with absolute awe in the heart-pounding music. The power takeoff, the height he jumped... even reached the height of the fence of the ice rink, even Naxiu never thought... When such a long program enters the second half, he can still jump with such a high quality quadruple jump .

After spinning around in the air for four weeks, he landed perfectly on the ice with the sound of a drumbeat. Such a perfect coordination made the hearts of the audience constrict, and then... beat faster.A jump with such boldness... It was like a heavy counterattack given by the Spartans to the heavy Persian army.

However, Qingyue's leap did not end there.

Whether it's the audience at the scene, the commentator in the live broadcast room, or all the audience watching him with bated breath in front of the TV.At the moment when all the people looking at Qingyue haven't recovered from the shock brought about by the...the heart-shocking quadruple twitch just now, Qingyue jumped out three more times. The last one in the jump: 3Lz-2T-2T.

In other words, it should have been a 3Lz-2T jump.However... Qing Yue jumped out of the third jump in a row without thinking much at this time.It's as if... the courage of the Spartans.

Yes, the courage of the Spartans was admired even by the king of Persia.He didn't want this valiant army to perish, even though... there were only 300 of them.

I will make you infinitely rich.I will make you the Lord of Greece!

In my name, you will be the god of war on Europa!

And your enemy Athens!She will surrender at your feet!

As long as...you submit to my feet.

The sweet temptation came from the wind, as if... among the blood and corpses, the Spartan warriors after the fierce battle were given hope.However... how could the crazy and proud Sparta become anyone's slave?They refused to submit, and they even refused to be enslaved, even if... they paid the price of death for it.

The cries of the warriors sounded again.Even if too many partners who lived side by side with them have fallen down coldly.

Our king, facing the Persian king who is as powerful as a god, you smiled contemptuously and rejected his bewitching, fearless, without the slightest hesitation... Your courage prevents even the devil from approaching us.Even if we die soon, our spirits will forever guard the holy Greece at Thermopylae.

When the war song was sung again, pious yearning appeared on Qing Yue's face, as if he was looking at the Spartan king on the altar.

O our king, even if no one can make you a god, you are still in the glory of the gods of Mount Olympus, and you are with Mars, the god of war!

"That's Qing Yue's footwork display near the end of the long program! Serpentine step sequence! Although all step sequences are considered to have the same difficulty at the same top level. But in recent years, there have been few players in the field. There are complicated choices in the game, and there is no advantage in the snake-like sequence in terms of scoring coefficient.

But obviously, Qing Yue used the serpentine step here, which fits the feeling of disorder and uneasiness in the music!Announced that the end that the Spartans saw on the day they set out was about to happen!The whole long program has come to this point, and the physical exertion on the contestants has been enormous, and Qing Yue may have reached his physical limit!But after that, he also had a Phillips triple axel and then a jump squat spin! "

As the music enters the last wave of climax before the end, the narrator watched nervously as a series of choreographed footwork demonstrations were performed on the field. The physical exertion was already considerable, but the high-pitched emotion consistent with the music was still maintained. Qing Yue almost shouted out of excitement.

That's right... This magnificent long program that is enough to overthrow Qingyue's "Lucia" name is coming to an end, with a tragic ending related to the three hundred warriors of Sparta... that has sunk into the long river of history.
