legend on ice

In the commentary section, Xia Meng sent her best wishes. On the 30-meter-wide and 60-meter-long ice surface, half of the 6-minute warm-up time has passed. Wang Yi is used to skating around the sidelines at a constant speed. By the way, he observed the pre-match status of the five opponents.

The first impression, newcomers, veterans,? Feelings, practices, very different.

Matsumoto Koichi and Bai Xuning kept jumping up and down, familiar with the rhythm of falling ice.Derek Anderson and Ivan Beria took it easy, practicing their footwork and adjusting their breathing, and accumulating strength for the last official match.

Soon,? Last 3 minutes to zero.

The on-site announcer issued a notice, and the 1 spectators in the stands on all sides applauded and cheered again, actively opening the curtain of the Olympic decisive battle.The Japanese veteran Kazuhiro Machida, who played first, was on the court. After 30 seconds, he was about to start skating. The next one, Matsumoto Koichi, was at the southeast corner of the fender wall. His eyes were on the old man, and he was thinking about his own free skating. Choreography,? Strive to find a balance between excitement and calm.

Competition,? Performance,? Six quadruple jumps.

If you don't try it,? He will never know if he can do it.

Looking back, that person did his best to stand on the podium when he participated in the first Olympic Games.

The time has come to today, and I never thought that I would experience these things.

"The?next?skater, kazuhiro? MACHIDA."

"Representing? Japan."

At 12:55, the announcer announces the name and nationality of the first competitor in the last group of figure skating men's single free skating to participate in this Winter Olympic Games.

Machida and Yumatsu let go of the palm of coach Kazumi Takeuchi and set off on the ice. The free skating music from the Russian composer Rachmaninoff's "Second Piano Concerto" was played. The veteran player who was getting more and more sluggish and ignored by ice fans began to slide, and the enthusiasm and sense of strength emerged again.

On the outside of the front fender wall, Matsumoto Koichi watched quietly.In the backcourt waiting area, Wang Yi also hoped that his old opponents on the ice rink could draw a good end to his career through this free skating program.

A pair of bright black eyes stared at the real-time screen not far away without blinking, watched Machida Kazuyu jump up, and applauded him once when he completed a jump. In just four minutes and 40 seconds, the applause was enough The feet sounded eight times.

At thirteen o'clock, the former king of Japanese men's singles performed the last technical move, and when the joint rotation of changing feet stopped, many audience members recalled his glorious years again, spontaneously stood up from their seats and agitated their hands Shout out his name and thank him for his hard work over the years.

Although competitive sports are cruel, although hard work does not guarantee rewards, those who persevere to the end are definitely worthy of respect.

Even if his or their international competition results are very unsatisfactory.

"Kazuhiro? MACHIDA."

"From? Japan."

Hush huh huh.

"Machida-kun!!"

"Thank you!!!"

"I wish you all the best in the future!!! Please enjoy life~~~"

Applause and shouts flew up and down, like the sound of rustling rain from small to large.

On the ice rink, Machida and Yu were stunned for a moment. Looking at the kind-hearted audience, their eyes quickly turned red. With tears in the corners of their eyes, they waved and bowed to thank them for their support. After a few tens of seconds, they raised their hands to signal, and turned their backs to the northwest corner of the ice rink. Go, hand over the field in front of you to Koichi Matsumoto.

Two people, the veteran raised his right index finger to make a gesture, and he tapped his heart with his fist and pointed at the newcomer.The rookie nodded, understanding what the veteran meant, and the expression on his face, which was closely watched by the cameras in the front field, became more determined.

Silently, bravely and fearlessly took over the responsibility entrusted to him by the forerunner.

Silently, he took on the burden that should not be borne at this age.

"...Ah, the scene that appeared on the scene was really touching. Machida and Yukun completed the last competition, and handed over the future of Japanese figure skating men's singles to Matsumoto Koichi who just came on the stage. Matsumoto Koichi Jun's calm and resolute expression seems to say: Senior, please rest, I have grown up."

The two athletes left the field and entered the stage one by one, but many old ice fans watched the tidbit-like episode with mixed feelings.The most typical example is the two commentators from NHK in the rebroadcast comment area.

On the commentary stand, the emotional female commentator choked with sobs and a thick nasal voice.The male commentator who witnessed the rise of Wang Yi and the fall of Machida Kazuyu all the way sighed, and quickly reviewed Machida Kazuyu's past, injuries, present, and finally looked forward to his future. He sincerely hoped that he would be able to enjoy life.

In his words it is.

Kazuhiro Machida worked very hard as an athlete, please take a good rest after skating this competition.

In the future, even if you are no longer active in the sports world as an athlete, you will still be able to shine for this beautiful sport after you become a professional figure skating commentator, right?

"Japanese skater, Kazuhiro Machida, scored in the free skating."

Hush huh huh.

"Technical score: 98.62 points, program content score: 90.70 points, total free skating score: 189.32 points, total score for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea: 282.05 points, Rank: 1."

"The? next? skater."

"Aaaaaaaaa!!!"

"Mr. Guangyi!!"

"Daddy!"

"Light……"

uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

The score of senior Machida Kazuhiro appeared, and the moment his own name appeared.Matsumoto Koichi, who was listening to the coach's instructions, suddenly had a buzzing and tremor in his head.

He gritted his teeth subconsciously and nodded, his eyes and ears clearly saw and heard everything around him, but he was indifferent.

Skating to the center of the arena as if entering no one’s land and stopping, eyes aimed at the middle of the referee’s seat in the north stand, in the free skating music, Spanish musician Roger Subirena’s "Between? Worlds" and "Between Worlds" "After making the first sound, he began to perform his own performance.

As soon as the show opened, he was wearing a performance suit similar to formal attire, moving the skates under his feet, moving forward step by step, two steps and three steps, stepping on the monotone of the background melody piano.

Immediately afterwards, an accent sounded, and the music of the free skating was lengthened, leisurely and mysterious, and a vast image appeared. Hikari Matsumoto slid sideways to the left side of the ice rink. I think of Machida Kazuhiro's failure and mediocrity, and I think of the success and brilliance of idol Wang Yi.

Free skating starts No. 30 seconds.

In the past two days, he hated himself countless times. He slid on the front inner edge of his right foot, turned the rear outer edge to change direction, crossed his left foot in front of his right foot, and slid half a meter on the rear outer edge. Rise and fall, lower the knee of the left leg and exert force, cooperate with the two feet, and jump up with a brush.

Accompanied by a deep and long sound, he went up to the sky, spun around, fell and slid out, and took off for the second time with the saber teeth of his floating left foot. Pretty good quads followed by triples.

But it's not over yet.

The first jump has just ended, and the second jump is coming soon.

With the applause of the audience, Matsumoto Koichi slid from the west side of the arena to the middle of the arena.Enter the jump preparation in the same way, change the foot to touch the ice in the same way, and after jumping up, put your hands on your chest and lock your body to start spinning.

The difference is that this time for the hook jump, he raised his hands above his head, turned around enough to fall and slide out, then pressed down three times, turned his left foot three times in a row, and left a long series of 3-shaped jumps on the ice. After the trajectory, the expressionless and extremely focused legs were prepared in a figure-of-eight shape, the left foot slid on the inner edge, the right foot grazed the ice, and the third quadruple jump came.

4Lz plus 3T, 4Lz single jump, 4S in the back knot, determined to do everything, and he, who is in line with the idol in his heart, is like a godsend today.

Machida and Yu, who were waiting for the seats, and the audience in the arena were stunned, and Bai Xuning, who was preparing to go to the front court, was also stunned.

chap——

"..."

There was the sound of ice skates breaking through the ice.

Take off for the fourth time, cross your legs, and jump around the rear outer knot ring to complete.

The story of one bang, one failure and three failures did not happen. The audience at the Jiangling Ice Stadium and the audience watching the game through the live broadcast signal from all over the world witnessed how much the young generation of athletes dared to think and fight.

At the athlete's passageway from the backcourt to the frontcourt, Bai Xuning took a last look at the figure on the real-time screen, his cheeks tightened, his eyes closed and his eyes were pursed, and he stepped on the road to the battlefield.

A few meters away, Wang Yi, who was listening to music with headphones on, pressed the pause button on the player, hoping that Matsumoto Koichi would bring him more surprises.

The result appeared quickly, after performing a set of Yan-style spins with foot changes, and a set of grading steps with too obvious rest marks.As soon as Matsumoto entered the second half of the free skating, Matsumoto sent two combos, a quadruple jump on the back outside, a triple axel on the back outside, and a quadruple jump on the back outside loop, which once again caused a lot of exclamations at the scene.

How many quadruples did you do?

How many quadruples did he jump?

Four or five, or six? !

God testifies, this scene unfolding in front of me is too crazy!

Who would have thought that the men's figure skaters of this generation would be so powerful at the age of seventeen that they would be so inhuman!

"Ooh!"

Free skating No. 11 technical movements, after jumping and changing feet without changing positions, after the squatting rotation, Axel triple axel, followed by an outer ring axel, followed by an inner ice triple axel, and stabbed the stands on all sides The audience is the happiest.

On the field, Matsumoto Hikaru was sweating profusely and panting. He had long forgotten about performances and music. He relied on instinct and muscle memory. He raised his head and looked at the sky, took a breath and rested, and seized the time to recover his strength.

With the whole set of free skating up to the current point, there is only one thing on his mind, one Axel triple axel, a set of foot-changing joint rotations, and thirteen technical movements can be successfully completed.

other……

Forgive him for really having no time to pay attention, he is really really tired, his heartbeat is so fast that he can almost jump out of his chest, but if he is asked to choose again, he will still do it! !

Whoosh!

"Yeah!! It's done! Triple-slalom Axel!! Matsumoto Koichi poured all his strength, broke the limit, and dedicated a unique free skating performance!!"

At 13:07, the black-haired boy on the white ice stepped on the five Olympic rings and entered the joint rotation.

In the commentary area of ​​the broadcast, the two commentators who witnessed how their own athletes burned themselves stood up and shouted, and couldn't wait to sing praises for the heroes on the field.

"All the people of Japan! See it?! This is Koichi-kun's competitive spirit! This is Koichi-kun's persistence! This is Koichi-kun's efforts to achieve his dream!"

"Today, although the veterans represented by Machida and Yukun have retired, but with an outstanding newcomer like Matsumoto Koichi taking over the baton, I am not only not worried about the future of men's figure skating in Japan, but full of hope! Believe me, please give him more time to grow! He will definitely be able to create miracles!!"

"Koichi MATSUMOTO."

"From? Japan."

"Wow————————!!!!"
