legend on ice

On the morning of July 2020, 7, the Japanese figure skating exchange group successfully arrived at the Shougang Winter Training Park.

After some visits to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment, at nearly one o'clock in the afternoon, I accepted the invitation from the Chinese side to participate in the dust-cleaning banquet.

In the restaurant of the Shougang Red House Guest House, Wang Yi, Julia, Bai Xuning and other athlete representatives greeted sixteen Japanese athletes successively, and showed the friendship of the landlord after the dishes were served.

An hour and a half later, the superiors disbanded after the entertainment. Wang Yi bid farewell to the enthusiastic fans. He handed over Matsumoto Koichi and others to Bai Xuning and Zhao Hongtian, who had volunteered, and went back to the upstairs room to rest and prepare. Fan, at 02:30 in the afternoon, came to the figure skating training hall, and started normal training.

Two days later,? That is, July 7th, the main athletes of China and Japan gathered together. Under the witness of the coaching staff and figure skating association leaders of both sides, as well as NHK and CCTV camera crews, a competition was held? It is a test match to enhance understanding, deepen friendship, learn from each other's strengths, and promote each other.

Except that the venue of the competition is the No. [-] figure skating hall where Wang Yi trains daily, the competition process completely follows the official competition system.Even the referees are fully equipped, and the two coaches with referee qualifications will act.

"Little Fatty, Xiaopang. I feel that today's test match is very formal. When I just came here, another CCTV broadcast truck came. As for such a big battle."

On the side of the ice rink, the Chinese athletes are on the left and the Japanese athletes are on the right. Several cameras are set up, and the superior leaders and referees sit in a row in the middle of the north side of the baffle wall.Zhao Hongtian, who couldn't be idle, tightened the straps of his skates, looked at the camera lens nearby, and moved to his side to untie and untie the skates. The buddy who didn't know what he was thinking was puzzled.

"Even Sister Xia Meng is here. I heard that there will be a webcast. NHK is even more exaggerated. The pre-match interviews and coaches' encouragement are all incomprehensible."

He glanced at the intellectual beauty who was chatting with Wang Yi not far away, observed the microphone on the other side of the ice rink, and continued for a while, the reporter who was interviewing the Japanese women's singles athlete.

"This is serious. If I didn't know that this season's Grand Prix, the Four Continents has been reimbursed, and the World Championships are also in danger, I would have thought that today's test match is not a decision."

"Eh? Wait! No. This situation, pair, ice dance, women's singles, men's singles, why is it a bit like a team competition system? I almost forgot that our country will be the host of the next year, but there is a team competition qualification , could it be related to this matter?"

While speaking, I had an idea, and I recalled it instantly.

Knowing his own strength, Zhao Hongtian, who had never thought about the men's singles Olympic podium before, was suddenly excited, and decided to fight for impression points, and strive to enter the team competition squad for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, and earn as much as possible for himself in the Olympics Games medals.

This is extremely possible.

In order to stabilize the men's singles gold medal, the national team will definitely not let the general Wang Yi waste his energy in the team competition.

So as long as he can beat Liu Ziqi and his likes to break into the men's singles roster, he will be able to skate the short program and the free skate with his buddies around him. Looking forward to the performance of the other three individual teammates, he will reap the greatest career honor.

He just said it!

How could an exchange test match be so valued? It turned out that the coaching staff and the Winter Sports Management Center had such an idea.

Think about it.

With the birth of Wang Yi, the popularity of figure skating in China has lasted for nearly ten years.After so many years of hard work, the ice dance and women's singles, which were the weakest in the past, can still hold back the couple and men's singles, but at least they can be considered to be able to move.

As time went by, Zhao Hongtian became more excited and serious as he thought about it.Over there, Wang Yi bid farewell to the senior fan girl Xia Meng, found Julia, Li Qin, Anna Klimova, and Liu Yan, and exchanged ideas for today's test match.

According to the original plan, he and Julia, as easter eggs outside the main game, just use the programs of previous seasons to deal with errands.

But seeing that China and Japan attached so much importance to this test match, Wang Yi suddenly felt that it was unreasonable for others to try their best to fish for fish, so he simply found Li Qin and planned to skate more seriously.

In addition, when chatting with Xia Meng just now, the staff in charge of the webcast said that millions of figure skating fans rushed into the live broadcast room to watch the competition.

As one of the most anticipated athletes, he felt that even if it was a dispensable test skate, he would not disappoint the ice fans who supported him.

People wasted time watching his games and supporting him, how could he not know how to praise him.

Favor is not lost like this, it's just skating two sets of shows, and I'm exhausted.

"so?"

After listening to Wang Yi's thoughts, Li Qin has nothing to do.After observing the expressions of the two apprentices, he was ready to hear the plan of the most important one.

"So I want to take out the highest difficulty and compare the test skating as an official competition. When Anna usually teaches skating, she has practiced so many pieces, such as the one that Julia recently practiced—"

"First Snow, Michael Gettel."

"Yes, "First Snow", Michael Zittle's song is good, it is more than enough for today's short program."

Wang Yi said.

"In terms of free skating, the "Romeo and Juliet" I skated before is good and I can continue to use it. Huh? Julia, you are also interested? "Anna Karenina"? Isn't this the program you prepared for the Olympics? Okay, okay , you don’t want to disappoint your friends who support you, so bless you and me to complete all the actions smoothly.”

"..."

After Wang Yi finished speaking, the brothers and sisters were of one heart, and their strengths broke gold.

Even if Li Qin understood Wang Yi's "seriousness", it must include trying to do Axel quadruples, but he didn't stop him.After waving his hands, he thought to himself after driving the two lovers away, whether it is 4A or 3A, even if it is currently unstable, what can it do if it is used in today's test match?

In a sense, this is even better.

Accumulate experience, improve confidence in completing corresponding technical movements under the scrutiny of everyone, and prepare for more important competitions in the future.

You know, today's test match was broadcast live on CCTV5, Japan's NHK live broadcast, and ITV network broadcast. Figure skating fans all over the world can watch it if they want to.

High attention, unique one.

No way, who let the audience who love this sport have been hungry for so long because of the new crown epidemic.

"... At 7:12 Beijing time on July 15th, and at 16:[-] Tokyo time, this Japan-China figure skating exchange test match, broadcast live by NHK, will begin soon."

When Li Qin was thinking, the hands of the clock in the training ground jumped to three o'clock in the afternoon.

The entrance to the ice rink was opened. During the two middle schools and two days, four pairs of ice dancers started to warm up for 4 minutes. They were on the south side of the baffle wall. The Japanese NHK sports reporters in the temporary broadcast commentary area and the coaches who played guest commentators Singing together, he began to introduce the situation to the audience in Japan who were watching the test match.

"Today's competition, we will send two pairs of ice dancers, two pairs of doubles, three women's singles, and three men's singles. The same is true for the Chinese national figure skating team, but these quotas do not include absolute kings. Yiyi, quadruple jump queen Julia Shuruoshikina-san. The two top kings will not participate in the main match and will perform at the end of the women's singles and men's singles competition."

"Yes, as Coach Hirai said."

After taking over the conversation with the temporary partner, the reporter from NHK continued.

"In addition to looking forward to the performances of Matsumoto Koichi-kun, Yamamoto Senryu-kun, and Uesugi Yuka-san, I am even more looking forward to the performances of Julia-san and Wang Yiyan. Axel triple axel, Axel quadruple Will it show up? I can't wait. Let's look forward to it together."

At 15:05, the ice dancers finished their warm-up, and the first Chinese partner started skating.

Nearly an hour passed for the ice dance and doubles. Eight pairs of athletes completed the prescribed dance and short program. It took 15 minutes for the ice truck to repair the ice surface. At 04:30, the women's single skating competition started.

In the northeast corner outside the field, Julia, a non-staff member, was jumping around in a black training suit, waiting for the last one to enter the field.

Not far away, Wang Yi was watching the live ITV webcast with earphones and a mobile phone. Hearing Xia Meng's comments along with the constantly refreshing messages in the comment section, he witnessed the growth of Chinese women's figure skating athletes.

In terms of difficulty, hook the hands for three weeks, then touch the ice outside for three weeks, and then touch the ice inside for three weeks before lifting your legs.

Axel had to perform a two-and-a-half two-week jump. The first two came out very steadily, and the third rookie jumped unexpectedly into a two-legged Axel three-and-a-half jump. week.

that moment.

Not to mention that Wang Yi was very happy, the millions of ice fans in the live broadcast room were like crazy, and all kinds of gifts flew up, which fully demonstrated how happy they were with the progress of the women's singles.

Even if countless people know it well, the current situation, women's single skaters mastering triple-A, can no longer guarantee that they will still be excited to stand on the podium.

The reason is simple, lay the foundation first, and don't worry about the results.

It can be the same as the men's singles at the beginning, taking it little by little.

"The next one, Julia Shurosikina, Russia."

"The?next?skater, Julia? Shurochkina."

"From? Russia."

It was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, when the first six women's singles athletes finished skating, Julia, accompanied by howling wolves from online fans, bid farewell to Li Qin and skated to the center of the ice rink with Anna Klimova to stop.

Dressed in black, she looked in Wang Yi's direction with a smile on her face. Before the short program of daily practice music, Schubert's "Serenade" was played, she adjusted her expression. The camera lens was locked, and after the violin played the first note, it slightly raised its swan neck, stretched its arms and danced on the spot, and started its own short program performance.

In the dark night, as if reflecting the quiet melody of the moonlight, under the watchful eyes of a group of chasers outside the baffle wall, she pressed her steps, accelerated her steps and twirled three times to the northwest corner of the ice rink.

After chasing the long and swaying violin ending, slide across the southwest, support the body with the rear outer edge of the left foot and draw an arc from top to bottom, and turn the front outer edge counterclockwise to draw another arc from bottom to top. At the same time as the skating speed was raised, the series of footwork was executed again with the swaying waist and the light and stretched arm movements. Immediately afterwards, the front outer edge of the left foot entered the preparation for take-off, and the right leg swung forward from the back to lean The angle of the left leg is slightly larger than 180 degrees, with the left leg bent and the two arms swinging to lift the body up, catch the sight of her body from inside and outside the ice rink, hold the wrist of the left hand with the right hand, raise both hands above the head, and start rotate.

Time slows down at this moment.

Wang Yi smiled, Li Qin nodded, Anna Klimova clasped her hands together and prayed silently, and Yuka Uesugi, a vigorous girl in the Japanese team, grabbed her friend's palm and forgot to breathe.

In mid-air, Julia turned.

One and a half laps, two and a half laps, three and a half laps, landed on the ice as light as nothing, the outer edge of the right foot slid out smoothly, circled the circle, looked at the sky with eyes and smiled wistfully, touched the nerves of many people.

The beauty of tranquility, classical beauty, and melancholic beauty complement each other at this moment.

The girl who used to have weaknesses, now uses her further strength to declare to the world——

I.

Julia Vladimilovna Shurushkina.

It is the king who rules the women's singles in figure skating!
