Bai Xuning straightened his side, and lowered his right leg with the sole of his foot above his head.The longest free skating program of 40 minutes and [-] seconds ended after the male and female chorus echoing over the ice rink dissipated.

In the specially elongated voice of the announcer, the audience, who were shocked by Bai Xuning's wonderful performance, put aside their differences of opinion and stood up and applauded, cheering for the young boy in the center of the arena who was gasping for breath, with sweat running down his cheeks.

Six quadruple jumps.

Another six quads.

Before there was Japanese rookie Matsumoto Koichi, and after that there was Chinese rookie Wang Baixuning.Even after the end of the game, a group of outstanding veterans left the game and returned to life.The future of men's figure skating is still bright and broad.

"Xu Ning? Bai."

"From? China."

"Little fat~~~"

"You skate so well!!!"

Hush huh huh.

In the stands on all sides, enthusiastic ice fans shouted loudly.Bai Xuning heard his name again, calmed down and began to thank the audience.

Bowing, waving and smiling brightly,? Under the close-up of the camera in the front court,? Sliding to the northwest corner of the arena and being hugged by Xu Tianxi, accompanied by the same old coach who dared to think and dare to do, sat in the same seat, while watching the show he just said The slow-motion highlights, while wondering whether Matsumoto Koichi and Wang Yi are satisfied with their free skating performance.

he said.

It's just six quadruple jumps, and it will definitely not let the enemy focus on the front.He also wants to break the shackles of difficulty and step into a higher realm.

Today's Olympic final is just the beginning. After returning to China, he began to practice the remaining quadruple jumps.

He vowed to put Matsumoto Koichi firmly under his body within the next cycle.

"... Tsk,? I didn't even notice the rotation. Level [-] thought,? Level [-] might be dangerous."

Bai Xuning left the field in the frontcourt, and Derek Anderson entered the field to warm up and wait for the game to start.

Beside Wang Yi in the backcourt preparation area, Li Qin shook his head very dissatisfied while watching the slow motion on the real-time screen.

"This kid's six fours are indeed better than Matsumoto Koichi, but he will definitely lose a lot of points in the rotation performance. Add one plus minus one minus, I guess even if he can be ranked ahead of Matsumoto Koichi in the end, it is only because of the short program The advantage brought by more than two points. Otherwise, it is really hanging in the air if you want to win."

"Ah."

Hearing Li Qin's analysis, Wang Yi nodded in agreement.

Soon, the announcer’s score reminder came from the frontcourt. Bai Xuning scored 140.33 in free skating technique, 81.98 in program content, 222.31 in total in free skating, and 319.73 in total in the Olympic Games, thrillingly surpassing Koichi Matsumoto’s 319.66 points. Temporarily came to the first.

The applause and cheers of 1 people intensified after Bai Xuning's result was confirmed and the name and nationality of the next contestant appeared.

Wang Yi watched Derek Anderson appear on the screen, tasted the relaxed smile on his face, and watched him slide to the middle of the field to stop. In the free skating music, "Self-Speak" sung by British singer Ed Sheeran After the sound of "Self-talk", wandering in the river of love, dyed the arena into an intoxicating pink, watched him jump up and down, and fell out of the dance, admiring his performance compared with the previous two young people, it is really too much Stretching is too relaxing.

Difficulty configuration.

Restricted by his age and physical strength, the Canadian, who just passed his 27th birthday yesterday, did not try to fight six fours or seven fours, but chose to use the habitual five fours to achieve the ultimate.

The opening hook is 4Lz, the back-inside ice point is 4F, the back-inside ring is 4S to warm up, a group of rotations and romantic and gentle grading steps will advance the show to the second half, the back-inside point is 4F, the back-out point is 3T, the back-outside The free skating performance was pushed to a climax by performing a quadruple jump on the ice and then a triple axel on the outside.

In terms of visual effects, it is smooth and beautiful, and men's longing for love seems to have substance.Many old fans were drunk in his skating dance, refusing to accept the fact that such an outstanding man already belonged to someone else and was about to leave the ice rink under his feet.

Oh~

Derek.

Our favorite Derek.

Can you not go?

If we can keep you, we are willing to give everything.

"FREE? program? please."

Inside and outside the arena, countless ice fans sighed with emotion, and the free skating competition belonging to Derek Anderson ended.

The warm-haired brown-haired man waved goodbye and stepped into the waiting area to sit down. The on-site announcer who got his final score announced his ranking and score aloud without giving the audience more time to ponder his performance.

"Ivan!!"

"BERIA-san! Fuck daddy!!"

At 13:23, after watching a romantic love story, Ivan Beria, who was drawn the fifth lottery in the free skating, appeared.

Wearing a chiffon white loose long-sleeved T-shirt and black trousers, the Russian with half-length blond hair tied behind his head slid back to the center of the arena and stopped, and gave him two thumbs up in the equal division. The semi-retired veteran athlete with nothing to worry about smiled.After "Oceano" and "Ocean" played by the Italian pianist, Roberto Cacciapaglia, he stretched his limbs and stirred the sea surface, rolling up waves of thoughts, leading the whole world to watch him The audience of the game recalled his career over the past ten years.

Kai slide debut.

He had a shy smile on his face, as if he was back in his youth, when he first stood on the court.

The first group of foot-changing Yan-style rotations, he interspersed with the T-shaped standard posture and the Q-shaped donut difficult posture with six rounds of Yangyan style, looking up at the dome of the stadium with longing eyes, and matched with the background music. The sound of the waves, the changing situation, and the ups and downs of the waves are presented in an instant.

The first set of jumps comes.

Turn three times in a row, cross your legs, take off with force from the rear outer edge, 4Loop from the rear outer loop, jump up and down with the crisp sound of ice breaking, the golden hair tail draws phantom shadows, and the Russian with a calm expression spins quickly Four weeks later, the rear outer edge of the right foot landed on the ice, and the left leg stretched and slid out smoothly.

About ten seconds later, when the back body slides to the left side of the arena, the rear inner edge of the left foot supports the body, and the rear inner knot ring 4S with the legs in the shape of a figure-eight appears after a series of footwork. out, equally flawless.

The fourth to sixth technical moves were steadily advancing. Wang Yi, who was in the backcourt, stood up from his seat, took off the earphones and handed the mobile phone to Li Qin.

He turned his head and glanced at Ji Huan You Xin, with ups and downs, and told about the ups and downs of his career. He nodded to the three coaches who were waiting for him. Entered the athlete channel leading to the arena.

A voice echoed in my mind.

Sympathy, regret?

No.

Adversaries need no sympathy.

What they need is a well-matched opponent. As the rules of the game allow, you will fight for each other and do your best without leaving any regrets.

Smile, tear, upright, beat them all!

This is the greatest respect for any athlete, and it is a gift that is enough to reminisce for a lifetime after finishing his career.

"oh------!!"

Walking out of the athlete's aisle, Ivan Beria's joint jump, the first jump, the second jump, and the second jump jumped up. Wang Yi was sincerely happy for his old friend.

He successfully completed the most difficult five quadruple jumps, and there is no better result than this.

Ivan Beria, Derek Anderson, I wish you enjoy your life after leaving the game, live a wonderful life in the rest of your life, and be blessed by fate.

For your dreams, to stand on the top of the podium, the most precious ten years of human life, you have wasted on the training ground.

Next, it's time to rest and broaden your horizons.The first half of an athlete's life was really, really boring and monotonous.

"Last jump, Triple? Lutz!"

"Ivan Beria! Ivan Beria! Once the golden boy of Russia, after nearly ten years of dominating the Russian men's singles skating event, he is about to complete his grand finale."

No. 12 technical movements were successfully completed, and the last technical movement was a joint rotation of jumping and changing feet.

In the commentary area of ​​the broadcast, two commentators from Russia 1TV were reluctant to give up. They raised their palms and pressed their throats to calm down, and locked their eyes on the hero who was spinning at high speed in the center of the field.

"Minova, I think today is a good ending for Ivan, isn't it? With zero mistakes, he reviewed his career for more than ten years and made figure skating fans all over the world, see See his growth, success, failure, persistence and harvest."

"He's so outstanding! I'm not sure how many years it will take for Russian figure skating men's singles to have another athlete as talented as him. Compared to women's singles, men's singles has been like a backwater in recent seasons! I Not sure, I'm really not sure."

"Oh, Alexey, stop talking, please? I can't take it anymore."

The male commentator finished with emotion, and the female commentator continued with sobs.

"I know that there are many controversies about Ivan Beria, such as the story between him and the two coaches. But I want to say that no matter what the inside story is, those off-court factors still cannot change my love for Ivan Beria. , even if he failed many times after Chinese players appeared!"

"Russians, please open your eyes and see clearly, his love for this sport is so pure! His beginning, his end, just like this song "Ocean" and this program, the future is destined to be played in Russia Men's singles skating has a very important position!"

"Ivan Beria."

"From? Russia!"

"Yeahhhhhhhhhhh—"

"Ivan!"

"Don't forget us~~~"

"BERIA-san, I wish you all the best!!"

Hush huh huh.

The sound of the last wave subsided, and Ivan Beria closed his eyes and knelt on the ice and fell asleep.The announcer woke him up with enthusiastic cheers and blessings from the audience. The stern-faced blond man smiled, leaned down and kissed the white ice surface, stood up and waved, thanking the ice fans for their love for him over the years .

On the right side of the arena, Wang Yi watched this scene quietly, suddenly feeling a little envious.

The rookie took over, the veteran retired, and the two old friends made the most perfect farewell with their best performance, leaving countless good memories.

What about him?

Will he be able to do the same four years later?he does not know.

Four years is too long and too far away, he'd better cherish the present and not think about it.
