Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

The great king of Sparta, he rejected the persuasion of the king of Persia without the slightest hesitation, and rejected the... rich reward from the enemy country.The proud and arrogant King of Persia uttered the most vicious curse in anger.

You shall die without honor!Sparta will be erased from history by me!

All Greek history books will be burned!All Greek historians and historians will have their eyes and tongues gouged out!

Anyone who worships Sparta will be executed!

No one in future generations will know of your past existence!

But the fear that shook even the soul did not descend to the heart of the Spartan warrior.

They went to war, for their land, for their families, and for their freedom.

They went out for honor, responsibility, and glory.

They set off, heading straight for the entrance to hell.

King, in the face of such a threat, you still smile, showing a triumphant smile.Facing the tens of thousands of Persian troops, you led the Spartan warriors who suffered heavy casualties but never lost their fighting spirit, and said softly...

The world will know that free men resisted tyrants, and fought more with less.The world will know that there were three hundred Spartans who gave their lives in defense of liberty and glory.

At this time, great king of Sparta!You make me go back alone, to our native Sparta!Deliver your last words to your people.You make me stand tall, neither humble nor overbearing.You sent us to tell them, to tell them how the three hundred Spartans held Thermopylae to the last moment.You made me let all of Greece know what's going on here!You made me tell a story for all who survive, a... story of victory.

From generation to generation, if a free man passes through there.Our voices will whisper to you from immortal rocks.

Passers-by, tell the Spartans.Here we rest, according to the laws of Sparta.

Stepping on the field with a knife blade and making deep scratches one after another on the ice, the young contestants used almost messy footwork to cooperate with the choreography about the intense intertwining of inner conflicts and longings, marking the end of the long program. Another tragic and dazzling color.

It seems that everyone watching his performance at this moment can feel his inner struggle, and can feel it from his fierce body language... He wants to stay, stay in Hot Spring Pass and die side by side with their king strong emotion.

However... the young Spartan who was chosen by the king of Sparta to convey his last order finally left the king of Sparta whom he revered before the final desperate fight, left the man who lived side by side with him, but never died. Companions who can die side by side...

When Qingyue jumped out of the last of the eight jumps in the long program, a triple axel on the rear inside touch and then a squatting spin, a new hope gradually rose before the magnificence and sadness of sacrifice came.

The last scene in the movie actually appeared in people's minds at this moment, intersecting with Qingyue's increasingly sophisticated high-speed rotation in the scene.

At the end of the story, among the [-] warriors, the only young man who returned to Sparta returned to Sparta a year ago, together with the Greek warriors who connected this world, to the millions of Persians. The soldiers launched a Jedi counterattack.

He raised the sword in his hand and said to the exhibitors from the entire Greek land behind him...

Just a year ago, my king died.

my brother died too

I thought for a long time what our king meant by "victory".

And now, time has finally proved his wisdom.

In every corner of this hot land, the stories of the three hundred warriors of Sparta are circulating everywhere...

"They are buried in a faraway land, not only for Sparta. For the whole of Greece and the hope of the future of this country. This place is called Protea. Now, in this corner of the earth, the army of Xerxes will face destruction.

The savage mob huddled together with lingering fear in their hearts.They have been mercilessly attacked by three hundred swords and halberds.And today, we will save the world from absurdity and tyranny, and usher in a future brighter than anyone could have imagined. "

With the gradual acceleration of the last series of spins, Qingyue waited with bated breath for this quadrennial... audience of the world ice competition in this Olympic Games. "Three Hundred Warriors of Bada" will finally come to an end.

No matter how sad the fans were for focusing on that young figure skater for those four minutes and 40 seconds, it will be over.With some small flaws, it does not prevent it from becoming the biggest surprise in this Olympic Games.

Sitting alone in the corner and silently watching Qing Yuehua complete the long program, Alek smiled... with a dejected smile, he muttered the words that appeared at the end of the film.In that one, he learned that his lover, Qing Yue, who was extremely dazzling on the field today, would show this program at the Olympics and watched it countless times.

At this moment, at the end of the film, the words spoken by the surviving warrior when he raised his long sword appeared so clearly in his mind.When he whispered these words softly, a sense of responsibility filled his whole body.

There are decadence, self-deprecating, gratification...

A bitter smile kept oozing out.He saw Qing Yue, who had struggled to skate through the entire program, knelt on one knee on the ice at the last moment, gasping for air, laughing in disbelief.He stood up and gave Qing Yue a final look with a smile, as if envious, but also from the bottom of his heart... Congratulations.Then, he finally turned and left.

The rest of the time...belongs to the person who wins this game.Not among the...losers.

Huge psychological pressure and mental burden finally defeated the former number one player in Jia country.That's right, Alek, who was the number one player in Jia country in the past, was still firmly occupying the number one figure skating men's singles event in Jia country until today's competition.

Without a doubt, today's race...was the worst, worst long program he had skated in his six years as a senior.Anyone can detect his abnormality from the trajectory of his skating into the center of the ice rink.Such an abnormality... What it brought to the Jia National Ice Association and Sauron standing outside the ice rink... was simply deep despair.

It seemed that Sauron had already predicted the end before Alek's long program started.And Naxiu...he had predicted that sad ending even before that.

Yes, compared to the famous Jia country player who showed his true level the day before, today's Alek...is like skating with prosthetic limbs. His arrogance and tension, and even...a deep sense of oppression that everyone who looked at him could feel.

Even... Alek, who is often able to show every program without error in the competition... made mistakes again and again in the long program competition of this Olympic Games.Not only did he fall badly in the quadruple jump, Axel made a major mistake in the three-and-a-half axel jump, his double jump was broken due to a mistake and was downgraded to continuous jumping, and even...even his proud fourth-level footwork was in the middle of the jump. After Freire's successful completion, he was downgraded due to some mistakes, and...

In this 40 minutes and [-] seconds long show, not only the Jia National Ice Association was horrified, but the referees hesitated, the audience...shocked, and even Alek himself...as if in a dream.

He doesn't even remember where he made the mistake, all he knows is...he's a total failure...

So, will his skating career be over?

he does not know……

do not know……

But after watching the long program that Qingyue slid out, he knew...the boy who appeared in front of him for the first time, who knew almost nothing except jumping very spiritually...From today, He will forge a brighter future than anyone can imagine.

And a brand-new era belonging to Qingyue has also appeared.

So what about his time?Is it not continued yet?Or... ended in this Olympic Games, which he participated in for the first time in his life?

"Alek? ​​Who saw Alek?"

When Alek's figure gradually disappeared at the end of the passage, Qing Yue, who was surrounded by bouquets of flowers and blessings, raised his head and looked around for his figure.However, before he could find the opponent, he was already urged by everyone to go to the waiting area, waiting for a final score worthy of his performance in this long program.

"Qingyue's long program score is out! 84 points! In this way, Qingyue's long program score has surpassed Kenes, who was ranked second before this! Wait a minute! Qingyue's long program score and short program score are added together The total score obtained is the same as that of Koness!

According to the usual practice, when two contestants have the same total score, the contestant with the higher score in the long program will get a higher ranking!

So... if nothing else.The runner-up of this Olympic Games will be... Qingyue athlete from Xishu! "

There was an exciting voice in the live broadcast room of the TV station.They verified the last player in the game within 5 minutes... and came back to win after trailing Scott's Koness by three points in the short program.He snatched his own position from the almost foregone championship position.

Xishu ice fans cheered in disbelief.Chu Xuan, who was also a Xishu player with Qingyue, was also jumping around happily, and even accidentally dropped a flower in his hand and hit Qingyue's head, causing a silence...
