Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

A month later, the World Championships, held every year in March, arrived as scheduled.As agreed before, Qing Yue and Chu Xuan did not attend this year's World Championships.As for Koness, he officially retired after that Olympic Games.Therefore, among the top five in that Olympic Games, only champion Freire and No.5 Hamill continued to participate in the next World Championships.

However, the final result of that World Championships surprised everyone.

The silver medalist of the last World Championships, Niolido, who gave up participating in this Olympic Games, hit hard at this World Championships, Freire, who is also known for spinning, and because of Freire's three He fell twice in the quadruple jump, made four jumping mistakes in a long program and took away the gold medal of the World Championships that should have no suspense, which shocked the figure skating world...

When he heard the news, Qing Yue invited Chu Xuan to play in the snow mountain where he lived.A few friends sat together and watched the live broadcast of the World Championships on TV.Everyone was dumbfounded when they saw Nyolido walk up to the highest position on the podium with a smile so bright that people wanted to give him two slaps...

Yes, as Nyolido said before the start of the Games.In case the Olympic champion accidentally loses to him, he will win Dafa.

This time, he did win Dafa.

A commercial performer who has left figure skating men's singles for nearly ten years, Niolido has accomplished the greatest achievement in his sports career.And made himself "the man who won the Olympic champion".

After the end of the World Championships, the 24-year-old Niolido also announced his retirement, and returned to the COI commercial performance organization that accompanied him to spend too much time on the ice. Ice fans said that retiring does not mean leaving the people who love him, he will continue to skate at COI until he can no longer skate.

Since then, the world's top men's singles players who have been active in the ice arena in recent years are only Planden's Freire, Xishu's Qingyue, Chu Xuan, and... who lost in this Olympic Games, and there are many rumors Said he would bid farewell to Alek at the ice rink.

As for the No.5 Jia country star Hamel in this Olympic Games, although he is only one year younger than Qing Yue, in front of Qing Yue, Chu Xuan, Alek and Freyr, no matter his experience, The difference in strength and world ranking is too far. It can be said that he has not yet grown up and is a rookie who has been trained by Jia Country.

Since then, Qing Yue and Chu Xuan broke the shell of the world ice circle, creating a new pattern of the three kingdoms of Xishu, Plandeng and Jia.Just as Naxiu expected.

However, in such a new pattern of the three kingdoms, almost every year, there will be players who make people shine, or have high talents, or have very distinctive personal characteristics.

Quadruple jumps seem to be a sign of the times.Because before Qingyue's birth, the high-difficulty jump that no one had tried in official competitions for many years had never been absent from the last group of competitions in the World Championships since the Olympic Games this year.

In the second year, Jia country newcomer Han Mier replaced Alek as the number one player.For the first time in the World Championships, the referee team scored more than Alek's program content points.However, Hammill, who has received more political support from the Ice Association, still has not won against Alek, who has just recovered from his injury shortly after surgery.

This ice warrior with an extremely tenacious will, which moved many ice fans to tears, returned to the podium again, and once again watched the flag of Jia country rise slowly in front of him.However, this time, he could never regain the... world number one ranking that he had occupied for two years.

The throne that originally belonged to him has been occupied by Freire, who has stabilized his performance in the game.Qingyue, who has entered the golden age, has gradually shown the strength to compete with Freire.

Qingyue's outstanding appearance and classic melancholy temperament, which is rare in modern times, made him favored by many advertisers after he won this series of world-class titles.Invitations to various events, endorsements, and commercial shootings flooded in.

There is no doubt that Qing Yue, Chu Xuan, and Le Sheng, the son of Xue, have become the most commercially valuable athletes in Xishu.Moreover, Qingyue's legendary experience has promoted the popularity of figure skating in Xishu to a certain extent.

Because of him, many teenagers who have passed the best age for learning to skate began to enter the ice rink to learn to skate on weekends, and even wore skates to skate on the icy road when winter came, looking forward to that Miracles can happen to you too.

However, even under such circumstances, the ice associations of the two powerful figure skating countries, Jiaguo and Xishu, are fighting openly and secretly.The ice associations of the two countries have spared no effort to use the power of the media to attack the opponent's players. They even submitted proposals to the International Ice Association to adjust the rules of the game according to the skating style and strengths of their respective top players.

Such a... too tense competitive relationship made Qingyue and Alek, who are the number one players of the two countries, feel more pressure than in the past few years.In order to cope with this kind of pressure from the outside world, the two people who once trained together, one gave unreserved guidance to the other, and the other completely trusted the other... unknowingly became a fierce competition. opponent.

At least, in front of the media cameras.

"Next, let us invite Qing Yue, the world champion and Olympic silver medalist! As we all know, Qing Yue started very late in learning to skate, but rose rapidly in the world ice circle. He became the world champion that year. He won the Olympic silver medal at the age of 19! Now, he has become the hottest super popular player in the world ice circle!"

In April of this year, Qingyue became the No. 1 voted male athlete I most want to date initiated by a magazine with a large circulation, and thus became the cover character of the new issue of the magazine.The winner of No.2 is Le Sheng, who is very handsome in appearance, has an excellent figure, feels very calm, and has always been very low-key.And Chu Xuan, who has been called a popular lover since he was a teenager, was pushed to the No.3 position, which made him shout impossible!This is absolutely impossible!

However, no matter how resentfully Chu Xuan shouted, it could not change this established fact.When he knew that Freire was always overwhelmed by the world's top football players in the same voting in Plandon, he finally regained his mental balance, chuckled silently, and then called Freire to express his gratitude I feel sorry for this fact.

Soon after that, Qu Shen, Qingyue's manager, found a number of sponsors for him to sponsor him to hold another ice fan meeting, which can be regarded as a warm-up for this summer's joint business.And because once Qing Yue got off the ice, he couldn't mobilize the atmosphere of the scene like Chu Xuan.Therefore, the location of the thank you meeting was still chosen in a skating gym.Ice skating first, and the rest will be handed over to the on-site host.This also gave ice fans another chance to watch Qingyue skating up close.

When Qing Yue was skating towards the ice rink and followed his figure all the way to the center of the ice rink, the host's voice was almost inaudible and screamed, drowning the audience.Chu Xuan, who was invited as a guest, leaned against the backstage wall with his skates on, watching Qingyue's performance in the ice rink with Qu Shen.

"These girls... are really enthusiastic..."

"Look clearly, there are not only female ice fans present. Qingyue's ice fan composition is not as simple as yours."

As a former popular lover men's singles player, Chu Xuan said under great pressure, and when he got Qu Shen's unflattering answer, he immediately turned his head and grinned hoarsely at this Qingyue trump card manager.

However, Qu Shen, who already knew Chu Xuan's child's heart, didn't care at all, and continued to ask: "Have you all booked this summer's schedule? Now Nyolido, Carlos, Freire, and even Coco Ness has already responded that they will come to a joint commercial this summer."

"Of course it came out. Do you think my Wild Rose can't even do this well? But Qing Yue, didn't he take over a public service advertisement for protecting the snow mountain with Le Sheng's partner? I remember the shooting time It should be on the way to this summer joint commercial performance?"

"You don't have to worry about this. I will adjust the schedule and try to let Qing Yue finish filming the advertisement in the gap between the two special sessions."

Hearing this answer, Chu Xuan nodded reassuringly, but then suddenly thought of something, turned to look at Qu Shen and asked, "How expensive are you going to set the tickets for this year? I think... just about the same? It doesn't have to be more expensive than COI tickets...?"

Unexpectedly, this question of his made Qu Shen laugh, and then gave the answer in an...unfathomable tone that almost made Chu Xuan feel panic: "You just need to know that we will definitely give all the tickets to you." Just sell it."

After saying this, Qu Shen added: "Perhaps you can use your strengths and help think about how to make those ice fans who bought tickets feel more worthwhile. For example, print Serial number, draw one after everyone's performance, but hug the lucky ones from the stands and give them a kiss?"

"Then what if I draw a fat middle-aged man!!"

"You can also give him a kiss if he wants to."

"I kicked his ass! I warn you, absolutely... you can't operate in secret! Absolutely not!"

"Actually, I really planned to operate in secret, so that each of you can draw a good-looking female ice fan."
