legend on ice

Test, train, tune.September passed, October came.

In the Chinese figure skating national team, Wang Yi lives and studies normally, and continues to improve his jumping stability and ice dancing skills proficiency.It wasn't until October 10th, the 25-2012 season, the ISU International Skating Union Grand Prix, the first U.S. race of the senior group kicked off, that some attention was paid to the current situation of several major opponents.

In terms of station selection.

Russian Ivan Beria, the champion of last year's finals and currently ranked second in the world's men's singles rankings, did not change last year's station selection strategy. He continued to stay in the first stop in the United States and the fifth stop in Russia.

Last year's final runner-up, Derek Anderson, who currently ranks No.1 in the men's single skating standings, chose the second stop in Canada and the fourth stop in France, as always.

As for the third runner-up Japanese athlete Kazuhiro Machida... Due to the need to abide by the rules of the International Skating Federation, the top three players in the Grand Prix finals last year did not see the king before the final, so they had to choose the third China Cup and the last stop in Japan.

At first glance, it seems that the distance is the shortest, and there is no need to adjust for jet lag or suffer from the hardships of long-distance travel.In fact, it has already been crowned the title of the saddest and most likely to crash this season by a group of senior ice fans.

Ding thump.

I personally hope he makes a mistake.

'...'

On social software, ice fans who care about the game are talking about it.

Wang Yi, who is a senior actor, senior ice fan, severe Internet addict, mobile phone cancer, bow-headed person, time traveler, etc., has a clear understanding of the trend of the topic.

As a normal person, with his experience, how can he let go of the Internet world, which is still outside the law?

He puts on three layers of skins on himself every day, and hangs around in various forums and public information accounts just for leisure. Sometimes he even wears a vest to participate in some battles.

Of course, he'd done that sort of thing once or twice at most.It was only when the fraternity party ice fans were attacked.

No matter in the previous life or in this life, he has never felt that which athlete performs well, and there is nothing wrong with which athlete he likes.

All kinds of shady scenes, arguments, and quarrels, he has always taken it as a pleasure.

What’s wrong with the unnamed athlete today, the so-and-so athlete’s breathing is wrong, it’s so interesting who will be deprived of the medal tomorrow.

Four days passed from October 10th to 11th, and the first round of the ISU Grand Prix was over. Wang Yi sneaked a look at the game video and learned about the configuration of Ivan Beria's two programs.

Compared with last season, Ivan Beria did not perform well in the just-concluded US station.Although he still won No.1 in the men's single skating, he made mistakes of varying degrees in the joint jump of the short program and free skating.

In Li Qin's words, it is a good idea for the Russian to put the three sets of joint jumps in the second half of the program this season, but his physical fitness can't support it at all.

After the first leg of the short program, he jumped around the inner ring and followed by the triple axel on the outer ice. It was his good luck to turn over the ice with one hand after falling off the ice.In the free skating, two quadruple jumps with one turn over and one fall are normal.

When Wang Yi and Liu Yan wondered why Ivan Beria changed the configuration to this, Coach Li, who was full of confidence, directly said that it was not because he felt the pressure from other athletes.

Not only him, but if nothing else, the Canadian Derek Anderson, who made his debut at the second stop in Canada, will also make a similar choice.

"4 times 転サルコウ, 3 times 転トウループ! Si Guoyi! Canadian player Derek Anderson successfully completed the crucial joint jump after 1 minute and 25 seconds of the short program!" Common, 4S+3T)

"He——やばい! (Ya?bai is bad), 3 rounds of 転アクセル accidentally fell down! The final ranking of this race is full of suspense again!"

Wang Yi: ...

Lao Qin's mouth is simply poisonous.

What happened this year? Ivan Beria made a mistake in the second half of the short program. Derek Anderson put all three jumps in the second half of the short program. Axel made no mistakes for three weeks jump error.

It can only be said that luckily he fell in the first race.If it is placed in the Grand Prix finals, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of winning the championship exponentially.

Wang Yi was filled with emotion, the second leg of the Grand Prix in Canada ended.

Derek Anderson, with his excellent performance in free skating, made up for the score gap caused by jumping and falling in the short program, and successfully defeated his compatriot to defend the title without any risk.

Ten days later, in Beijing, China, the third leg of the Grand Prix came.

Wang Yi'an stayed in the national team and waited for work, preparing to participate in the first international competition after he was promoted to the senior group this season.

In terms of mood, there is eagerness and excitement, but there is no tension or anxiety.

The competition venue was right in front of his house. Although it was a bit of a test of his mental endurance, he was too familiar with the competition venue, which successfully offset the impact of the previous item.

what? What?

All [-] tickets sold out? !

Tell him what he is doing, the more audiences, the more.

He has already prepared so well, if he still makes mistakes on the field, he might as well give up the idea of ​​making big news next season as soon as possible.

Last season, he had experienced the crowds of more than 2 people. This time, the number of spectators was smaller. The only change was the promotion from the youth group to the adult group. The content of the competition was still the same, so how could he be afraid.

On Thursday, November 2012th, 11, dozens of athletes participating in this competition arrived in Beijing safely.

After successfully completing the registration procedures, I took a short rest and used the whole day on the [-]th and [-]th to familiarize myself with the facilities of the gymnasium and adapt to the quality of the ice surface of the competition venue.

At 04:30 p.m. on the [-]th, the first individual ice dance was the first shot in China.

Ten pairs of ice dancers from all over the world joined forces to present dances of different styles to the audience watching the competition.

At [-]:[-], the ice-clearing session ended, and the pair short program competition consisting of eight pairs of athletes kicked off.

In the backcourt athlete preparation area, Wang Yi began to do warm-up exercises with the assistance of Li Qin. Calculating the time, it will be his turn to play at around 17:40.

If everything goes well.After six o'clock, he can go back to the dormitory, play games, check his phone, and get ready to go to bed.

The location of the competition is so close to home. Even if you are hungry, you can still catch up with the meal and go to the cafeteria to get a bowl of soup.

"I'll tell you some news. There are a lot of Japanese journalists coming back to report on the game."

"Oh."

Hearing Li Qin's revelation, Wang Yi nodded in cooperation.He stood there with a soft oh, and handed over the skipping rope in his hand.

"Guess why?" Li Qin took the skipping rope with a mysterious expression.

"What else could it be because of the Japanese star player, last year's Grand Prix finals and the World Championships, the men's singles skating double runner-up Machida Kazuhiro. Could it be because of me? Wake up, old Qin, you also believe in the imagination of netizens. If you have nothing to do, stop swiping your phone and find a partner for yourself to bid farewell to being single is the top priority."

Li Qin: I can't talk today!

"..."

With a sneaky smile in his heart and a calm face, Wang Yi ended his conversation with Li Qin and started running back and forth, time passing by quickly.

At [-]:[-], he put on his competition clothes and came to the waiting area. The first group of the men's single short program on the front ice had already started.

Athletes with dreams stood on the arena and showed their well-prepared programs to figure skating fans all over the world.With the help of music, they sway their youth and sweat, and interpret different stories.

During the whole process, there were smooth and smooth, there were bumps and bumps, there were applause from the audience, and there were sighs of regret from the audience.

2 minutes and 50 seconds, such a short time, but the winner has to be determined, proving that who is strong and who is weak is not cruel.

But unfortunately, this is competitive sports, and this is figure skating.

"Coach Li Qin, the first group of men's singles skating is about to end, you should take the players to the front to prepare."

The applause rose and fell, sometimes louder and sometimes smaller.

Nearly 17:30, the backcourt staff sent a notice.Wang Yi followed behind Li Qin and stepped into the passage leading to the front field.

Not far ahead, between the two dark blue cloth curtains, there is a faint light shining through.The closer it was, the louder the voices from the audience, and the stronger the beating of Wang Yi's heart.

bang bang.

The curtain was raised.

The arena that can accommodate up to [-] spectators came into view.

bang bang.

He slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

bang bang-

It's here, it's here, he is absolutely sure that his journey will start here and now.

Get ready to take the plunge!

Athletes from all over the world who are engaged in men's single figure skating.

I.

Wang Yi.
