Blade of Glory [Figure Skating]

"Sounds like you're right. Nobody likes someone who's always lying to the public. What you've done before is nothing more than hiding from the public. But when that report comes out, what you have to do It’s about denying the real you to the public.”

"Yes, that's what happened."

At that moment, Qing Yue, who had expressed all his worries and thoughts to Le Sheng, seemed to have figured out something.Then, he stood up suddenly, and a relaxed smile that hadn't appeared on his face for many days appeared again.Seeing Le Sheng next to him who seemed to be waiting for his decision, Qing Yue felt that he had finally stepped out of the lingering haze that framed him... the fixed thinking imposed on him by the outside world.

"Thank you, Le Sheng! I think, I may have figured it out! Maybe, I will need to run around the Olympic Village to maintain my physical strength before the competition!"

Seeing that Qingyue seems to have returned to the good state before this report came out, although Le Sheng had a premonition that the road he chose to take would be full of thorns and bumpy, but felt... he was relieved down.Because it made him seem to see Qingyue's courage and persistence when he chose to part ways with himself at the age of 13, gave up skiing, and finally chose figure skating.

When Le Sheng saw the completely new Qingyue during the World Youth Championship, he thought... the one with such courage and perseverance is the real Qingyue.Only such courage and persistence can bring him to the ultimate success...

In the short program competition two days later, Qingyue won the No.1 short program competition with the best peak state since entering the adult group, just like Freire four years ago.His strong performance even overshadowed Frere's extremely difficult and artistically expressive short program.

The quadruple jump in the short program was performed extremely well.No, perhaps we should say that he does all the jumps in the short program pretty well, and even his spins have gone from looking like Freire four years ago to being astonishing as they are now.His rotation is not as dazzling as Freire's, but it is equally beautiful, so beautiful that it is suffocating...

On the other hand, Alek's performance this year is also quite good.Even after his golden age, his performance in this Olympic Games is very impressive.It is not as expected by the outside world that due to the increase in age and the injuries accumulated from years of high-intensity training, they cannot catch up with Qingyue and Freire.He even won a higher program than the short program at the last Olympics.

Although the outstanding performance of Qingyue and Freire still squeezed him to the third place in the short program, he still did not let those newcomers who were eyeing him break the pattern of the top three of him, Qingyue and Freire.Such a situation made the ice fans who followed them all the way couldn't stand the emotion.

This could be their last four years.

That's what was speculated in many of the figure skating reports ahead of the Games.Suddenly looking back, the immature young players have now dominated this ice and snow world for many years.

Among the ice fans, there may still be many people who remember how wonderful it was that Freire, who was only 17 years old, won the third place in the Olympic Games eight years ago, broke the stalemate in the world ice world, and became the most dazzling fresh blood in the men's singles event. Shocked to the point of being moved to tears.

A year later, a new star from the figure skating powerhouse Jiaguo, almost comparable to Freire, was born.Alek has captured the attention of many old ice fans with his skating style that is almost identical to that of the ice legend Soren 20 years ago.Moreover, Alec made many old ice fans who were crazy about that era, but gradually stopped caring about figure skating after the ice world entered a period of decline, to return to the spectator seats of figure skating competitions.

Another year later, the amazing jumping genius who was called a miracle by many people in the ice world, Qing Yue was born, reopening the quadruple jump era in the world ice world.

Those were three years of special significance to the entire ice world.Due to the successive emergence of these three leading figures in the ice world, the world ice world has made rapid progress in the past few years.

However, these three men's singles players not only made great achievements in the competition, but also made great contributions to the commercial performance market of figure skating.

But now, they are no longer the frivolous teenagers they used to be.Eight years have passed, Freire is 25 years old, Freire is 26 years old, and Qingyue is 23 years old.Except for Qingyue, the other two have already determined that no matter what the outcome is, they will retire after the end of this Olympic Games.

Even Qing Yue, the youngest of the three of them, will slowly end his golden age, which is unusually short for a men's singles figure skater.It can be said that even if he skates until the next Olympics, his peak period will no longer exist.

These three world top men's figure skaters who have dominated the world ice for many years are about to quit the ice and snow world they have fought for for more than ten years.Therefore, this Olympic Games can be regarded as their swan song year.

This fact is both unacceptable and regrettable.However... but no one can stop the pace of time.Therefore, ice fans who like them have to try their best to come to the spectator stands of their Winter Olympics, or watch their games in front of the TV or on the live broadcast website.

A few days before the start of the game, gossip about Qingyue and Alek was overwhelming.Even Freire's declaration of "marriage proposal" to Qingyue in TV interviews in the early years was dug up by more than one media.

Therefore, many ice fans are worried that these will affect their competitive status.Fortunately for them, whether it was Xin Qingyue who was in the whirlpool, Alek, or even Freire who was shot while lying down.The performances of the three of them in the short program competition can be said to be worthy of their status in today's world ice world, and they are brilliant.

But just when everyone thought... that the Olympic Games could go on to the end without any accidents, Qing Yue was concerned about the media from various countries in a separate interview after the short program... he and Ariel The authenticity of the Grace scandal gave an astonishingly positive answer.

"Yes, Alek and I are indeed lovers. But what I have achieved in the past few years may be enough to prove to everyone that ... liking men is not hindering my skating career. If that is not enough, Maybe I can go and win an Olympic title to prove it to the world."

Qing Yue who said these words didn't seem to hesitate at all.From the beginning to the end, he has a charming and confident smile on his face, without the slightest inferiority complex or hesitation.He didn't seem to be dazed and slipped because reporters from all over the world asked him this question after the short program, but...he was waiting at the beginning of the whole interview, waiting like this A time to reveal who you really are.

Such an affirmative positive answer even surprised the interviewing reporter, who didn't know how to catch up with the words for a while.

However, Qing Yue voluntarily ended this short private interview after saying this sentence, as if he didn't want to say even a word of gossip between him and Alek.

The Xishu Ice Association and the Jiaguo Ice Association couldn't believe it when they saw this interview.For the Xishu Ice Association, this should have been the best time for Qingyue to completely deny the report, and it would allow him to revive his morale two days before the long program game, and correct the referee team that may have a negative impact on him. With prejudice, he won the Olympic champion in one go.

No one expected...Qing Yue actually made a big joke on them before the long program started, making him try his best to suppress the situation for him in the past few days, and trying to find a way to restore his public image The Xishu Ice Association felt as if it was being teased.

Yes, in the eyes of Xishu Ice Association, Qingyue's behavior was like being slapped in the face in front of everyone, making them lose face.

"He's too arrogant! It's a disgrace to the Xishu Ice World!"' The high-level people of the Ice Association kept making such voices.They were all outraged by Qing Yue's response during the interview.At the same time, the eyes of the media also gathered on another protagonist of this sensational event, Alek.

Alek is different from Qingyue.His style of skating on the ice has always been tough, full of classic masculinity.It can be said that he is the men's singles player with the most rigorous and positive image in the ice world.

Before he could walk very well, Alek was already on the ice under the guidance of his father Sauron, and after more than ten years of hard work, he finally slowly entered the public's sight.Moreover, he maintains the longest daily training time among the world's top players all year round. It can be said that he is a figure skater who works so hard that many people are moved.

He doesn't often speak in front of the camera, but the information he reveals inadvertently always makes people feel a lot of emotion.

“I knew I wasn’t talented even before the other players of my age started on the ice. I practiced a hundred, a thousand, or even ten thousand times for any move that I showed on the rink. Now, I have finally mastered them completely, and I am proud of it. I have always believed that if you are willing to work hard, nothing is impossible. In the past, my father proved this to the whole world. Now, it is my turn It's my turn."

It is such a figure skater who works hard, does not talk much, is not as good at showing himself in front of the camera as other skaters, is rigorous and in many ways very conservative, and now is caught in such an incident.The contrast is almost unacceptable to his ice fans.

Many Jia people seem to have forgotten that Alek is 26 years old this year, just past his golden age and peak, and is about to go downhill. After undergoing surgery, he returned to the world ice arena after gradually recovering.

After this interview, the people of Jia country attributed his lover relationship with Qingyue to the reason for his poor grades in recent years.They believed that the reason why Alek couldn't maintain the world's No. [-] ranking before the start of the last Olympic Games was precisely because he was influenced by Qingyue, and he was brought to him by this person who was known as a genius but didn't work hard.
