legend on ice

"Ladies and gentlemen, what will happen next: ISU 2012-2013 season, figure skating grand prix competition, men's single short program second group competition."

"Then start a 6-minute warm-up, please prepare for the athletes."

"Ladies? and? Gentlemen..."

The voice of the on-site announcer sounded, and the entrance to the 30-meter-wide and 60-meter-long stadium opened.

Wang Yi was the fourth to step on the ice, wearing simple black and white competition clothing, skating along the outer edge of the ice rink, adjusting the state of the game.

However, the sky is not beautiful, and some things have their own destiny, no matter how you hide, you can't avoid it.

Here, he had just slid to the front of the referee's seat on the side of the spectator table, when a familiar magnetic baritone that was no longer familiar attracted his attention instantly.

He also blamed himself for being cheap, he was clearly aware that he might see a new surprise with hot eyes, but he just couldn't control his neck and looked up subconsciously.

then……

No. Then, the moment he saw it clearly, he was so violent that he almost screamed on the spot.

Wang Jianshe!

Well what are you doing with a bunch of piggies on that banner? !

I knew that today must be without you!You are everywhere!I owe you my last life!

"Small, come on!!"

24 Xiaohao father Wang Jianshe strikes again.

Seeing that Wang Yi looked more and more energetic, he stood directly under the banner, put his left hand on the shoulder of the majestic Lin Jianhu in formal attire, and waved fiercely towards the bottom of the stands.

"Other athletes are definitely not your opponents. Smile, laugh quickly, don't keep a straight face. Don't be nervous, you will win if you play normally."

~(￣▽￣～)(～￣▽￣)～

Wang Yi: ...

Got it, got it, got it.

You are the loudest among the 8000 people present, and you have no chance of pretending not to know you.

Don't think about it, the banner above your head will definitely become a dark history of your son and my entire career.

"Wang Yi, your dad just..."

"Okay, okay, don't explain it for him, I still don't know what my dad is like?"

Withdrawing his gaze, he slipped in front of Li Qin and pretended to be an ostrich. Wang Yi didn't let his coach finish his sentence, and started complaining about what his old father did.

"Also, no matter how many good things you say for him, he will still dig holes for you from time to time, and tease you if he has nothing to do. Why? You can figure out why I spend more time with you and you will understand why."

The 6-minute warm-up time passed quickly during the speech, and Wang Yi exited the ice rink behind other athletes.

As soon as he sat down in the backcourt waiting area, he immediately received a fiery gaze.When I looked up, I met the eyes of the biggest opponent of this station, the famous Japanese general Machida Kazuhiro, as expected.

At this moment, the two looked at each other. Although they didn't say a word, one handed the letter of challenge and the other happily accepted it.

Wang Yi wanted to defeat him, and Machida and Yu wanted to hold on to their positions. The duel between the two later was destined to be more explosive than other contestants.

"... Vivaldi's "Four Seasons: Winter", he may be in the right mood now."

With this thought in mind, he smiled slightly and looked away. Wang Yi leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. He rehearsed the program arrangement in his mind according to his habit.

More than eight minutes later, when the third athlete in the second group started to slide, he opened his eyes and greeted Li Qin and Liu Yan, and returned to the front court again.

Standing outside the baffle wall, watching your opponent slide on the ice, looking forward to your own two minutes and 50 seconds.

Ikuko Kawai, "Ocean~Ocean", the turbulent waves are just like his state of mind at this moment.

Roaring, saving, yearning for the distance, longing for victory, wanting to show your strength to the world!

"Elan Hall."

"come from America."

Hush huh huh.

At the end of the game, there was applause.

The on-site announcer announced the name of the athlete for the second time in both Chinese and English. The 24-year-old veteran from the United States waved his hand to the four sides of the stands, exited the ice rink and took an equal seat.

At the entrance to the northeast corner of the arena, Wang Yi took off his skates protective cover and stepped into the arena. Just as he was about to exchange a few words with Li Qin, he suddenly noticed that there were thousands of eyes on his body.

After a little attention, he quickly determined that the owners of these gazes were mainly enthusiastic Chinese people, as well as many Asian faces who had just picked up bright red flags.

Needless to say, the meaning it represents.He has supporters in China, and he has "captured" some Japanese ice fans. Figure skating fans at home and abroad already know that there is someone like him.

"The next contestant is Wang Yi."

"Representative, China."

"The?next?skater, Yi?WANG."

"Represented? China."

"Yi Wangsang, goddamn—"

"Come on, Wang Yi!"

"Small, come on, come on, come on!"

The announcer's voice fell, and Wang Yi tugged on his shirt cuffs and slid to the center of the ice rink to stop.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the strange piglet banner on the north stand. His eyes moved down, and when he slowly closed his eyes, there were thirteen scoring referees in his eyes.

Inhale and exhale, the 30-second countdown ends.

The bow of the violin fell on the strings and drew the first long note, and the piano arpeggio continued to move forward. Wang Yi suddenly opened his eyes as if waking up from a dream. Swinging, with the front outer edge of the left foot, he slid to the front of the referee's seat and stopped.

In the next second, he caught another violin and sang, twisted the blade of his left foot to cut three circles on the ice, swung his arms from bottom to top, and jumped with his left leg. Get up and make a spin in the air. When you fall down, the rear edge of your right foot supports your body, your left leg floats in the air and keeps your upper body level, and your body starts to spin in a 'T' shape.

The piano melody reciprocated, and the skates drew circles and circles on the ice. He folded his floating left leg behind his head, held his calf with his left hand, and hooked the connection between the skate and the sole with his right hand, changing the rotation posture into " The word q' is not enough. After continuing to rotate six times, control the rear outer edge of the right foot to twist the ice and change the blade during the rotation, changing from the right rear outer to the right front inner, and by the way, pull the floating leg higher.

The whole process is smooth and natural, with more than ten rotations in one go, and the execution process is both standardized and efficient.

According to Li Qin on the sidelines, the technical action execution score should be higher than last season, otherwise it would be too unreasonable.

Brush pull.

The first technical movement, jumping and swallowing, is completed.The second technical action is a squatting rotation that changes feet without changing positions.

The repeated piano melody is like waves, which are combined with the sometimes low and sometimes high-pitched violin sounds to form waves of ups and downs, pushing Wang Yi to spin faster and faster...

Till a note climbs to the top, Till a wave breaks the waves and shines in the sun.Wang Yi struggled to swing his arms to stop the rotation, letting the inertia of the skates lead him to touch the ice on the west side of the ice rink and stop. Melting together, turning around, raising arms and clenching fists, pushing and pulling forward, the skates under the feet step on the top of the sound waves, dancing with the waves when driving.

"Grade footwork!"

On the field, Wang Yi began to implement the step-by-step grading.

In the electronic classroom of the national team, the footwork coach explained while watching the live broadcast, and his speaking speed caught up with Wang Yi's dazzling footwork, getting faster and faster.

"Left front outside, right front inside, left front outside, sliding Chasse step. Left front outside, twist, right back outside, closed Mohawk, right ice skate twisting three times counterclockwise to change direction, right back inside, right front outside Turn three, do a small jump, run with your feet in saber-tooth steps and dance with your arms."

He emphasized.

"Pay attention here! Chasse step in the other direction, right front outside, left front inside, then...left front inside, left back outside bracket step, after a short pause, left back outside, left front inside turn three times, and then forward cross rock step ! At the same time, every time the skates rise and fall during skating, they step on every accent of the melody."

"Learn a bit, don't just watch the fun! Wang Yi takes dance lessons and you also take dance lessons, and Wang Yi practices footwork and you also practice footwork. Why is there such a big gap? Look at other people's skating postures, and then look at yourselves! As hard as a piece of wood, how could the referee give a high score?!"

The program guidance class in the electronic classroom is getting more and more in-depth. On the ice, the short program with a total length of 50 minutes and [-] seconds will soon come to the second half.

The crucial three sets of jumps are just around the corner. From the national team to the sidelines, all those who expected Wang Yi to achieve a good result held their breath.

At the first minute and 28 seconds, the continuous step ends, and the climax of the whole piece of music comes.Wang Yi slid from the east side of the ice rink to the middle area with a lot of expectations. The front outer edge of the left foot was changed to the right foot and the rear outer edge was Mohawk step, and the body was accelerated, and the rear outer edge of the right foot was turned to the right foot. Turn the front inner edge of the right foot to the left foot and the rear inner edge Mohawk step for the second time. At the same time, tighten the raised right foot from the outside to the inside, and use the slanted shovel on the ice to help the bent left leg to jump vigorously. Get up, closely catch up with a climbing Qin Ming and rush to the sky.

that moment.

He is like a flying bird, like an ice crystal shining in the light, with his arms folded around his chest and his chin tightened, turning at high speed, attracting the attention of countless people inside and outside the arena.

The first lap, the second lap, the third lap, and the fourth lap, when the height dropped, he opened his body, and slid out of the ice on the rear outer edge of his right foot. He swung his left leg to help his body maintain balance, and was ready to skate halfway under his feet. About one meter later, he performed a triple axel on the back and outside, but he didn't expect that the skates would slide to a stop suddenly, and the upper body was inertial backwards, and he was about to lose control of his body's center of gravity and fell on the spot.

Good Wang Yi!

Immediately and decisively, he cleanly pulled the knife teeth of his left foot up on the ice, brushed it to help the stuck right foot break free from the shackles, jumped up and rotated for the second time.

The second one lap, the second two laps, and the third three laps, the falling ice opened and slid out, the left arm swung back, and the hands and feet slid out with a bit of speed.Completed the first technical move in the second half of the short program without any risk of danger, followed by a triple axel jump with an inner knot ring and then an outer point ice triple axel!

"it is good!!!"

"Wow--?!"

The audience applauded in amazement, and Li Qin let out a roar.

Jumped up on the spot and slapped Liu Yan once, only after his feet landed on the ground did he realize that in less than a second just now, a layer of sweat broke out on his back.

That moment just now was too thrilling.

Wang Yi almost lost his focus at that time.

Under normal circumstances, it is either turning over to help the ice, or falling down on the spot and throwing away the entire jump.Fortunately, the child managed to control it abruptly, and unambiguously connected to the planned joint jump.

But it's not time to celebrate just yet.

The remaining quadruple jumps on the back and outside ice, and triple axel jumps are also very important.

God bless, no more accidents.Otherwise, his heart might really not be able to take it.

"4 times 転トウループ!" (Toeloop, 4T)

"3 times 転アクセル!" (three points Axel, 3A)

"Si Guoyi, the Chinese player Yi Wangsang is a talented jumper. In the second half of the short program, he successfully completed all three sets of jumps!"

On and off the field, in the commentary seats in the broadcast area.

Seeing that Wang Yi was about to finish the game with zero mistakes, the two commentators from Japan not only did not worry about their country's famous player Machida Kazuhiro, but became more passionate.

In the middle of the arena, after Wang Yi returned here again, he began to perform the last technical action of the short program, a joint rotation composed of three postures.

Before picking up his speed, he took a special look at the ice trough that almost caused his mistake just now, and thought inwardly that he was so dangerous.

Fortunately, he managed to pull through in the end.Even if the joint jump movement execution points will be affected to some extent, at least more than ten points will be obtained.

If he fell just now, no matter what the reason was, maybe he would have to say goodbye to the Grand Prix Finals in advance.

The national team has invested so many resources in him, and he will never allow himself to lose the chain at a critical moment.

If this accident can't be held, there is no need to talk about creating a miracle in the Winter Olympics next season.

chap!

"Wang Yi."

"Representative, China!"

Hush huh huh.
