Li Qin, director of the Figure Skating Department of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China, Winter Sports Management Center, said in an interview with reporters that the four individual events of figure skating have entered a harvest period after years of accumulation.He believes that in the Beijing Winter Olympics, which will open in a year and a half, the four individual athletes of the national team will definitely submit a satisfactory answer.

'The exchange competition was a great success!The women's singles skating and men's singles skating competitions are over. Yuka Uesugi and Aina Aso won the top two in the women's singles. Koichi Matsumoto jumped off the ice and fell on the hook in the free skating, with a difference of 0.87 points and came in second. '

Takaguchi Ueno, vice chairman of the Figure Skating Association: I am very satisfied with this result, and I look forward to the high expectations of the ice rink fighters to prove themselves in 2022. '

'But at the same time, we should not be blindly optimistic. We must always keep in mind that this impressive report card does not include the two kings, Wang Yizhen and Julia Sang.If the two of them are counted, the achievements of Chinese figure skaters will definitely be further squeezed. '

‘7月15日，ISU国际滑联成员国第三次会议结束，原定2021年3月底举办的花样滑冰世界锦标赛是否延期悬而未决,?2022年5月18至23日，首届ISU国际滑联，冰上之星中国邀请赛确定。’

The qualifications for the ICI have been announced and are only open to athletes who have entered the free skating world championships in the current natural year.The prize money is generous, and the top six athletes in four individual events will also receive event points recognized by the International Skating Federation! '

Once the event information was announced, it quickly sparked heated discussions across the Internet. Numerous figure skating enthusiasts said that the sudden prosperity of the ISU made people very uncomfortable. I hope this brand-new event can inject new vitality into the ice world. '

'...'

"Damn it! The top 12 rewards for each of the four individual events, the top three for men's singles and women's singles, 18, 14, and [-] dollars, and the top three for doubles, [-], [-], and [-] dollars. Is there a mistake?!"

Zhao Hongtian roared.

"Could it be that the poor ISU was stimulated by the Wimbledon Tennis Championships and the use of private jets to pick up athletes from all over the world to participate in the competition? Do you dare to set the bonus higher? Winning the championship is equivalent to the second round bonus, which is rare. Rise up once, and try harder."

July NO.15, Wednesday.

The Shougang Winter Training Park was shrouded in scorching sun. In the restaurant of the Red House Guest House, the figure skaters who were told by their coaches about the new trends in the ice world discussed each other while having lunch.

At the dining table by the window on the west side of the restaurant, Wang Yi, Julia, Bai Xuning, Zhao Hongtian, Matsumoto Koichi, and Uesugi Yuka chatted while eating.Among them, the most conspicuous one was Zhao Hongtian who opened his eyes when he saw money, who made his voice the loudest.

However, the athletes and coaches who heard nearby can also understand, after all, the rewards of the Ice Star China Invitational Tournament are really too generous.

For them, even if they can ignore nearly 800 bonuses, can they also ignore the points of the top six players in four individual events as high as 720, 648, 583, 525, 472, [-]?

Make it clear, this is on the same level as the grand prix finals, and no active athlete can ignore it.

"Can you stop being so realistic, kid? Points! Mainly points!"

After eating the dan dan noodles in the bowl in two or three bites, Bai Xuning took out a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, gave his best friend a look, and kept pointing at the files on the phone screen for emphasis.

"See clearly, the ICI points are of the same nature as the Grand Prix series, and they will be ranked lower than each other when calculating the world ranking. That is to say, if I am not better than the Grand Prix, I can get another chance to participate in the invitational tournament. The importance of this is up to you.”

Every time you say something, many athletes get more and more excited as they talk.At the dining table, Wang Yi took his last bite of food unhurriedly. He knew more details about the event in his mind than anyone present, but he couldn't tell.

Besides, he was still lamenting that the two dads were really awesome, and they were able to raise the invitational tournament to such a high position. Could it be that they gave too much?If it is true, I can only say that it is a good thing that the ISU International Skating Federation did not pretend to be high-minded this time, and continued to play the set of glamorous, noble and self-admired.Otherwise, [-]% of the competition in this new event will drop to the level of the Japan Penny Open.

"Thanks for the hospitality, I'm full."

Wang Yi silently sighed, Matsumoto Koichi, Uesugi Yuka, and Julia put down the bowls and chopsticks one after another.After the voice of being grateful for the food fell, Matsumoto Koichi was dragged by Bai Xuning to carefully read the rules of the invitational competition. Julia chatted with her fan girl Yuka Uesugi, and then talked to Wang Yi about the Russian Figure Skating Championships held in mid-February.

At present, Li Qin didn't want Julia to travel around to increase the risk of contracting the virus, but there are too many women's singles talents in Russia. If she doesn't participate in this national championship, there is a high probability that she will lose her place in the world championship.

So there is no way, even if the visa stay in China has just been extended for one year, Julia still has to take risks and go back to Russia to work hard.

Fortunately, there are not many similar troubles left.

She has been training and living in China all the year round. The little girl who has been Sinicized has already been confirmed. After retiring, she will accept the invitation of the Chinese National Figure Skating Team to work in women's singles teaching. The focus of her future life will also be transferred to China.

Applying for a green card is a must, and the choice of a partner also tends to be a mature, reliable, gentle and family-friendly Chinese man like Li Qin.

Let's say that.

Although Julia is not yet 21 years old this year, she has already planned her future path.

As she said in an interview with reporters a long time ago, she loves this country and cannot live without it.

If nothing else, he will spend the rest of his life on this land in the future.

"Jumping competition? Compared with men's singles?"

"Yes, I was surprised when I found out."

After chatting with Wang Yi about the championship, Julia changed the subject and talked about the entertainment session before the main match. Wang Yi raised his eyebrows after listening. He didn't expect to change the world. The single drama is still staged.

Go ahead, it is a fact that Russian men’s singles are not as good as women’s singles, and being slapped in the face by women’s singles may arouse their shame and catch up.

Oh, right.

If he remembers correctly, netizens on the forum seem to have said some time ago that Ivan Beria has finished his studies and officially started his coaching career?

I hope that in a few years, he can bring a new trend to the field of Russian men's singles.

"Wang Yi SAMA, we have a discussion after lunch, I must leave."

"Ah... well, I wish you all the best."

While chatting and thinking, Matsumoto Koichi suddenly stood up and said goodbye.

Wang Yi responded and watched him and his teammates walk out of the restaurant without thinking too much. He sat at the table for a while to finish the meal time, and went back to the upstairs room for a lunch break to prepare for the afternoon training.

During the process, he inevitably thought of the NO.12 short program and the NO.13 free skating, and he was sure that the emotions of the young fans have dropped a few notches since then.

Training camps, exchanges, test matches, if he still wanted to come to him when he first came to China, after that free skating, he must have decided to devote more attention to training.

"Hopefully he gets something out of it."

Pressing his thoughts, he picked up his mobile phone and edited a book list to send to the life assistant.

Wang Yi calmed down and continued to polish himself. In late July, the domestic epidemic situation was basically stable. When there were no new local cases, the fifth China Star League was postponed for a while. Under the coordination of the skating club, according to the standard of collective movement and zero spectators entering to watch the game, the curtain was opened.

According to the original plan, this league is actually a preview of the 2022 Winter Olympics.

The strict control of each link is unprecedented. The figure skating national team athletes who went to each station to participate in the competition separately made complaints among the athletes.

This is also impossible.

In special times, there are special responses, and Wang Yi said that it is already good to participate in the competition, what's wrong with the strict competition process.

As an athlete, he dislikes competition control and the strict isolation regulations of the epidemic. What about those heroes who are fighting on the front line of the epidemic?

This person, to live in this world, one must know how to be grateful.

Anyway, he has always strictly adhered to the line in his heart, and refused to get carried away and make mistakes.

"...Yes, Director Zhang, thank you for your invitation. I'm sure I'm not qualified to light the torch."

"Huh? No, no, no, of course I am very honored, but I think this honor should belong to the medical workers who help all mankind to get out of the epidemic."

"Yes, without their dedication, where would the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics come from? Haha, Director Zhang also thought about it? Then there is no hesitation. Such an opening ceremony idea will definitely continue the glory of 2008. "

In mid-August, a heat wave swept across China.Wang Yi received a call from the office of the Organizing Committee of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics during the training interval, and after listening to the other party's intentions, he refused to call any athlete with Li Qin's eyes of "you are an individual". It is the most honorable invitation to light the main torch of the opening ceremony.

After hanging up the phone, Li Qin felt unwilling and still lamented that he still had regrets in his career.As the person involved, Wang Yi really didn't care. In life, how could all the good things be taken by him. Even if he didn't light up this fire, he would still be the most successful figure skating male single skater.

What about him—

Always remember your identity and your responsibilities.

I am convinced that as long as I do my best in the professional field, my name and experience will be remembered by the Chinese ice and snow sports industry.

Compared with such brilliance, other praises are just icing on the cake and have little effect on the overall situation.

He can figure out which is more important.
