Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

Time passed quickly, and the Olympic...a war without gunpowder was rekindled again.Many newspapers and the media are paying attention to it as they did when the Olympic Games was warming up four years ago, counting in detail the dark horses that may suddenly rise in this Olympic Games like Koness four years ago. Talented figure skaters who have been active in the public eye in recent years.

However, this time, everyone understood... If nothing else happened, the champion, runner-up and third runner-up of this Olympic Games must be selected from among the three world's top men's singles players from Xishu, Plandeng, and Jia Country.Only these three players can truly be called the first-tier players in the eyes of the referee team.

Among them, although Qingyue's world ranking is only No.2, he defeated Freire in last year's World Championships, and once again ascended the throne of World Championships.

Since then, facing Qingyue in his heyday, whether the world's No. 0000 Frere can win his Olympic champion in this Olympic Games seems to have become more and more unpredictable.However, Freire has a very relaxed attitude towards this.While athletes from other countries are facing the expectations and pressure of the whole country, Freire said these words in the press conference before going to the Olympic battlefield: [-]

"I don't promise you that I will win anything in the Olympics, and please don't have too high expectations for me, ice fans who like me, don't ask me what I want to get in this Olympics, a gold medal, Silver or bronze. That puts pressure on me to compete. I just want to know that whether I finish well or not, you will love me, support me and welcome me back as always."

When the figure skater who was born in a weak figure skating country, but has created miracles for his motherland again and again, won an Olympic gold medal, an Olympic bronze medal, and many world-class competition medals, said this At the time of the sentence, the atmosphere at the press conference exploded.The media reporters who came to interview stood up from their seats one after another, and applauded Freire to see off the hero's expedition.

Compared with Freire's easy battle, Qingyue and Alek did not seem so relaxed in this last game before his retirement.

Two months before the start of the Olympics, Xishu had just lost his country's strong No. [-] player.Therefore, all the heavy responsibility of winning the medals fell on Qing Yue alone.Before the plane to Scott took off, Chu Xuan, who was in the recovery stage, had a phone call with Qing Yue, who was nervously preparing for the battle, telling him not to worry or be nervous, just sliding out of his normal state, everything was enough up.

In this regard, Qing Yue also smiled and said to Chu Xuan that Freire and Alek are both players who will retire after participating in this game, so he does not need to worry or be nervous.

However... when the phone was hung up, that happy smile suddenly disappeared from Qing Yue's face.Qing Yue couldn't tell what kind of mood it was.

Today's Qing Yue is no longer the rookie who was questioned by the whole world.Now he can even say... without Alek and Freyr, he can easily win the Olympic champion.

However, even though he always knew that Freire and Alec were his strongest competitors on the way to the medal.

But when he saw Freire and Alek say before the game... no matter what the outcome, they will officially retire after the Olympics, he still felt unspeakably uncomfortable.

He once looked up to these two people, and together with these enemies on the ice rink and friends off the ice rink, he created a miracle and created an era.But now, they are going away one by one.Koness and Nyolido retired four years ago, and Chu Xuan was forced to retire two months ago due to injury.They will no longer appear on the world ice arena.

That made Qing feel a sense of sadness for no reason...

Such a departure always made him feel... his friends left one by one, and it seemed that soon, he would also leave the ice and snow kingdom he loved so much.

As for Alek, he can be regarded as the one who is under the heaviest pressure among the three.If it is said that what Qingyue endured was the pressure from domestic ice fans and ice associations.So... Alek was under pressure from himself.

He was once a recognized emperor in the world ice circle, and he defeated the extremely talented Freyr many times, and even dominated the world ice circle for nearly three years.However, this year he is 25 years old.Even, the sports injuries and pain on his body remind him almost all the time that he has passed the heyday of his career.

However, Freire, who rose to fame a year before Alek, was already an Olympic gold and bronze medalist.He watched as Qingyue also won an Olympic silver medal along the way.But what about him?On the battlefield of the Olympics, he was almost a complete loser with nothing.

This time, it was his last chance.

Since last year, Hamill has been able to win his championship position in the national championships in Jiaguo.But fortunately, his good performance in world-class competitions made it impossible for the senior management of the Jia National Ice Hockey Association to define Hammel, who has won two consecutive championships in the Jia National Championships, as the country's new number one player.

Because of this, Alec is likely to win the most powerful political support from the country of Jia in the long program after winning the short program.

Alek once said to Qingyue that a gold medal is glory, but glory is not just a gold medal.But... the world will only know we've been honored because we've won the gold medal.

When stepping into this world of ice and snow, he used to simply want to pursue the purest glory.However, he is contradictory.While wanting to continue to yearn for that purity, at the same time... hoping that the political support of his country can help him, so that he can return to the program impression points he would have obtained when he was at his peak.

But under such a tense situation, a piece of news from the headlines of a gossip magazine brought almost devastating effects to Qingyue and Alek, two gold medal favorites who were under heavy pressure. Impact……

"A rival in the eyes of the media, an intimate lover behind the eyes of the public - please read the big news in the sports world given by an insider who does not want to be named! "It was a very definite breaking news report.An insider who did not want to be named pointed out that in this Olympic Games, there are two gold medalists who always appear to be on the same side in front of the outside world and the media, but they are lovers who have been dating for many years in private.

Not only that, there are more revelations in this report that can arouse public interest.However, although the public's attitude towards homosexuality has been much more tolerant in recent years than it was years ago, there is still a hint of discrimination and ridicule towards homosexuals in this report.

With the continuous follow-up of this group of reports, many online news stations rushed to report this gossip news in order to grab the public's attention.Its scope of influence is also constantly expanding, causing people whose attention is completely attracted by this Olympic game to start to speculate about who the whistleblower is talking about.

For a while, many male athletes who participated in the Olympic Games felt insecure.

Among them... As a very influential and highly ornamental figure skating event, it is difficult to escape from the public's sight.Qingyue and Alek were even more targeted for observation because they were strikingly similar to what was said in the report.

The event they were in happened to be the men's single event mentioned in the report.

They happen to be fierce enemies in the eyes of the public and the media, they don't like each other, and they almost never appear in front of the media at the same time.If someone mentions the other party in front of them, what they get in exchange must be a frown.

They happen to be the gold favorites in men's figure skating.

Their previous generation happened to have a nostalgic and entangled brother from the same school.

One of them happened to be the former overlord who had been disappointed in the last Olympic Games.

Everything seems to be in line with Alek and Qingyue.Although there are good people who have found pairs of candidates in other competitions, those people still have one or two of them.Only Alek and Qingyue, every item in that report always makes people feel... They are talking about Alek and Qingyue.

That similarity drew more attention to these two men's figure skaters who were already under tremendous pressure.Finally, the magazine's third report, which has whetted people's appetites, said that they will publish photos of the two in the next report.

This made it clearer than anyone else that Qingyue and Alek, the protagonists of the time mentioned in the group of reports, were their own, and were gradually attacked by a strong sense of fear and disobedience.In the Olympic Village, the eyes of athletes from all over the world will make them feel more pressure...

However, the most serious is not just these...
