legend on ice

Although Wang Yi thought so in his heart, he didn't advise him to do so when he sent Bai Xuning away.After all, he is his opponent, not his coach.

He believed that Xu Tianxi would tell that kid.How to choose? It all depends on him.

Maybe Bai Xiaopang wants to seize the opportunity when other opponents make mistakes, and maybe make a good start for tomorrow's free skating competition.

The reason is.

If he doesn't fight today, if the three big guys who come out later skate too well, they will widen the gap all at once.No matter how good he skates tomorrow, he still has no chance of being on the podium, right?

"Bai Xuning! Come on!!"

"Little fat! You are the best~~~"

Hush huh huh.

At 14:27, the announcer reported the name and nationality of Bai Xuning, a Chinese genius who could not hold back the desire to compete, pushed his palm inside the fender wall, glanced at the camera lens in the southeast corner, and slid onto the ice Stop in the middle of the field.

Slightly adjusted his body posture and took a deep breath, the short program music from the movie "Rio Adventure" sounded over the arena.He danced in place at the beginning, with a smile on his face.

The body language is bouncing and energetic, and the ice skates under the feet are accelerating and feeling full of strength.Take the deer jump all the way to the right side of the ice rink and start to rotate. The inner edge of the left foot supports the body. Prologue.

The second and third technical movements are the Yan-style rotation where the foot is changed without changing the posture, followed closely by the grading step that connects the preceding and the following.

He is skating on the field, and Wang Yi and others in the backcourt preparation area are watching.

Not far away, Ivan Beria, who drew the No. [-] pick of the short program, stood up from his seat. Before stepping into the athlete's aisle, he nodded to the two opponents who were looking over, and first went to the front field to prepare for the competition .

Behind him, Derek Anderson and Wang Yi smiled at each other, one continued to chat with the coach, and the other turned his attention back to the younger generation.

On the surface, although they didn't care about Ivan Beria's departure, they actually had a thought in their hearts: coming, coming, it's the final contest between the three of them.

Short program today, free skating tomorrow.

Skating one game, one less game.

"Wow!!"

There were exclamations from the frontcourt, and Bai Xuning's game was halfway through, and the first set of jumps came.

Just watch him slide from the right side of the ice rink with his back to the left, turn his head to confirm the distance, the blade of his left foot slides an arc from the upper right corner of the figure 8 to the lower left corner on the ice, and the blade of his right foot hits the ice surface to jump rise.Arms overlap to lock the body axis, and start to rotate after the feet are completely off the ice.

There was a whizzing sound of breaking wind, and after turning around quickly, he opened his body before the skate on his right foot touched the ice, swung his left leg back, and slid out to end the jump.

The result is sudden mutation.

His stature paused, and the ice blade on his right foot was obviously stuck by the ice layer, causing him to stagger and turn over and make a mistake. Although he didn't support the ice or fell down, it still affected the jump execution score.

However, he didn't have time to be upset at all, he calmed down a little and set off again.There is only one thought in his mind, since he missed the joint jump in the first jump, he must make up for it in the second jump.

As for dancing...

The other skaters made mistakes, so why didn't he take advantage of the opportunity and make a more difficult jump, anyway, even if he made a mistake, he wouldn't fall out of the last group of the free skating.

The rear outer ice 4T retreats, the rear inner ice 4F adds the rear outer ice 3T, and he believes that he will be able to succeed!

It has happened so many times in training, there is no reason why it can't be done in competition.

chap!

There was a sound of breaking ice, and crystal clear ice particles splashed from Bai Xuning's feet.

In the preparation area, Wang Yi watched him through the real-time screen, and Matsumoto Koichi, who had just left the media area, also watched him through the screen.In the southeast corner of the arena, Ivan Beria, who was waiting for the match, sighed softly. His eyes were full of emotion and envy as he looked at Bai Xuning's air posture.

next second.

Bai Xuning, who tried his best, completed the spin, fell and slid out.The floating left foot ice blade decisively tapped to help the body rotate in the air for the second time, and the triple axel on the outside ice was successfully completed!

The only regret is that this group of joint jumps basically has no sliding speed. The second jump is completely dry pull. After landing on the ice, the floating leg quickly falls on the ice. While sure, Goe's performance score is best left out.

"Oh~~"

Bai Xuning jumped up and down, and finally made up the jump.

In the northwest corner of the ice rink, Xu Tianxi, who is over half a century old, jumped up with his fists clenched, no longer caring about the foolish apprentice's self-assessment, Wang Yi jumped up and slid out of Bai Xiaopang for the third time in the backcourt, and smoothly completed an Axel triple axel Then he raised his hands and applauded him along with the applause from the front court.

At 14:30, the dynamic and cheerful short program music came down, Bai Xuning stopped spinning together, stood in the center of the ice rink for half a second and jumped up on the spot, feeling quite satisfied with his performance in the short program.

As he said, in this Olympic Games, he has only one opponent to defeat, and that is Japan's old enemy Koichi Matsumoto!

Wang Yi's opinion of him, whether he can stand on the podium, are all gains other than this major event.

"Xu Ning? Bai."

"From? China."

"Bai Xuning~~"

"You skated well, Fatty! Let's work hard for tomorrow's free skating!!"

"no problem!!"

On-site Chinese audience: (⊙x⊙;)

"Hahahahaha."

"He's just so funny, I love him."

Wang Yi: There is really no one left for this bastard.

"..."

Thank the audience and at the same time, respond with a louder voice.Amidst the laughter that quickly spread to the audience, Wang Yi held his forehead and smiled wryly, wondering why this little treasure has such a big heart.

I hope his cheerful personality can attract a wave of fans for him, otherwise, after the end of the game, it is really not worthwhile to be punished by the coach for nothing.

Compete, showcase, expand influence.

I hope that from now on, the scoring judges will love him even more.

"Chinese player, Xu Ning? BAI, the score of the short program is."

"Technical score: 56.43, program content score: 40.99, short program total score: 97.42, Rank: 1."

wow wow wow.

"The?next?skater, Ivan?BERIA."

"Representing? Russia."

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The score appeared, and Bai Xuning, who was sitting on the equal score seat, nodded carefully.Just as he was about to communicate with the coach next to him, the announcer immediately reported the identity information of the next contestant.The volume of sound that was completely different from that of all previous athletes rushed into his ear canal, which shocked him a lot.

Standing up from the equal seats, he looked around the stands with surprise on his face, witnessing with his own eyes the true state of the 1 spectators after they were fully fired.

Inexplicably, because of the successful completion of the competition, the little pride that had just risen in his heart disappeared immediately, and he truly and fully realized the reality. It can be regarded as really making a name for himself.

"Ivan!!"

"BERIA-san, godfather~~~"

"Ivan!"

The announcer's voice echoed in the arena, and Bai Xuning had a new definition of success.Standing in the southeast corner of the ice rink, the blond man waits, shakes hands with the coach who has reached an agreement to endure each other, and sets off on the ice. He wears a flaxen loose long-sleeved T-shirt on his upper body, and a pair of pure black trousers on his lower body. He steps on skates of the same color and holds his arms high. Greetings, slide to a stop above the Olympic rings.

In the stands on all sides, 1 spectators clasped their hands and clasped their fingers, trying to breathe lightly, waiting for the upcoming performance of the Russians.

A thought quickly flashed in my mind, today, tomorrow, and after another show skate, this person will leave the arena, and I hope God will treat him favorably.All of them, my heartfelt prayers for him.

At 32:33 and [-]:[-], hundreds of millions of people were silently expecting, "Pray for Taylor" sounded.The man with his arms outstretched, his palms facing outwards, and his eyes slightly closed opened his eyes, quietly listening to the soothing melody of music above the ice rink. Three seconds later, he slowly raised his neck and looked at the dome. Little by little, it became soft and warm, and the corners of the lips that had always been straight were raised today.

The live camera lens closes up his facial expression, and through the live broadcast signal, this scene is transmitted to the hearts of the audience watching the game all over the world.

In the dark, all kinds of memories surfaced in my heart. The heartstrings of those who once loved Ivan Beria trembled and their nasal cavity was sore, and they bowed down to his relieved smile.

The skates moved under his feet, and the former Russian golden boy began to slide.

The melody as gentle as water flows around him. He jumps up from the Yan-style turn, uses the squatting turn, and narrates his heart with successive steps. , the arms cooperate with the body posture to present various iconic movements in the youthful, mature, and successful periods during sliding.

Countless old fans watched with their hands covering their chests and wept on the spot. Derek Anderson, who was about to rush to the frontcourt to prepare for the game, stopped, and a series of images flashed back in his mind, turning back time at this moment.

More than ten years, how damn fast!

Recalling when they first met, who was not a young boy who was full of confidence and had infinite expectations for figure skating.

"Ivan!"

"woo woo woo woo."

"Oh...Ogna, the feeling in my heart at this moment can't be described in words. Ivan's smile is so relaxed when he performs the swallow step in the continuous step, which reminds me of his time in the youth group."

On the ice rink, Ivan Beria summed up his past with various iconic moves.In the broadcast comment section, a male commentator from Russia 1TV rubbed his nose and eyes with memories, and said emotionally to his female partner.

"At that time, he was a newcomer, and I was also a newcomer. I watched him grow up little by little, commented on his games time and time again, and witnessed him winning medals and being loved by countless people."

"I can't remember exactly when it changed, but I am very sure of one thing! In Russia, the women's figure skating singles rose, and the men's singles fell into the quagmire, and the future is invisible! This man, at this moment, is on the ice in Gangneung, South Korea. Ivan Beria, who fights on the sports field! Undoubtedly, he will definitely become the most outstanding and accomplished hero and representative in the field of men's single figure skating in Russia in recent decades!"
