legend on ice

"Yeah, why can't next year's Olympic gold medal be ours? Are we really inferior to anyone else?"

"Yi? WANG, NO.? five, China."

Click, click, click.

The camera shutter sounded, and the ISU staff announced the free lottery slot that Wang Yi had drawn. Li Qin stood at the end of the crowd participating in the lottery ceremony, watching Wang Yi return to his seat and sit down, thinking this sentence in his heart.

The slight blackness under the eyes proved that he did not have a good rest last night.

But it was precisely because of making pancakes over and over all night that he had decided to fight hard, anyway, even if he didn't succeed in the end, there would be no loss.

That brat in front is really bad!

Don't say it early, don't say it late, but just before going to bed, he poured out his thoughts to him. He slept like a piglet, and couldn't wake up even when there was thunder outside the hotel.

No wonder Wang Jianshe posted a group of piglets on that banner. He was born in the Year of the Pig, and his zodiac is a pig. He can eat, sleep, and pretend!

Silently made a note to Wang Yi in his heart, and decided to settle accounts with him after finishing the Winter Olympics next season. After the lottery ceremony was over and lunch time came, Li Qin accompanied Wang Yi to eat some vegetables and salads to fill his stomach. Put into the preparations for the evening free skating competition.

Just like yesterday, at around 17:30 in the evening, the master and apprentice joined Anna Klimova and came to the Iceberg Skating Palace in the Olympic Park to warm up before the game.

During the period, apart from exercising his limbs, Wang Yi practiced program arrangement on the ground, and exchanged a few words with Anna Klimova from time to time.

Li Qin stood by, watching his every move, wondering why he was so serious tonight.

From movements to eyes, every detail is constantly adjusted and strives to be perfect. Why didn't we do this in the early and middle of the season.

Not right!

Absolutely not right!

Although he can't see what's wrong for the time being, it's just that something is wrong multiplied by something wrong, and it's very wrong!

He felt that he had better be vigilant tonight and stay alert at all times, and he must not be frightened by the surprises this kid made.

"No, it's not enough. If you want to make the audience feel decisive during skating, the range of body movements needs to be larger, and the retracting speed needs to be faster."

"..."

"Good~ this time is great, remember the feeling now."

"You can be the recorder of Edward VIII's love, or you can be Edward VIII. It doesn't matter if you can't imagine his feelings for Wallis. You can imagine a certain emotion that is most cherished in your heart to replace it."

Anna Klimova kept giving points, and the pre-match time was running out.

Sochi local time, at 2012:12 on the evening of December 16, 18, the six athletes who participated in the men's single skating final finished the last round of warm-up and opened the curtain of free skating.

On the ice rink, Mikhail Chekhov, the Russian athlete who drew the first lottery, began to skate. After 10 minutes, the score appeared, and the Japanese rookie Nakamura Ryuta, who was drawn the second lottery, took over.

At 19:05, Kazuhiro Machida, who was third in the game, completed his performance with zero mistakes after removing the purely relying on the back inner knot ring quadruple jump.The expression looked quite relaxed, sitting on the equal score seat waiting for his free skating score.

In the arena, the Canadian Derek Anderson, who was drawn No. [-], was wearing a black performance suit and skating around the field, ready to enter the rhythm of the game at any time.

In the backcourt preparation area, Wang Yi stood up from his seat, stepped into the athlete's aisle, and stopped near the exit, leaning his back against the wall to adjust his game status.

A few seconds later, when the on-site announcer reported Kazuhiro Machida's score in the free skating, and the 1 spectators not far away applauded and cheered, he clenched his fists and told himself that it was time!

It's time to express your ideals and release the shackles on your body, interpret this free skating program with a brand new self, and conquer the arena in front of you.

"The?next?skater, Derek? ANDERSON."

"Represented? Canada."

Hush huh huh.

When Wang Yi encouraged himself, the on-site announcer reported the name and nationality of Derek Anderson. At the end of the 30-second countdown, free skating music from the original soundtrack of the movie "The Godfather" was played, and the unique grandeur of the symphony quickly swept the audience.

Wang Yi stood up straight, opened the curtain and stepped into the frontcourt. Derek Anderson began to perform the first jump in the opening.

During the ups and downs of the ice skates, he slid all the way to the southeast corner of the ice rink. The blade under his feet left a "3"-shaped scratch on the ice. The blade of the foot brushed on the ice and jumped up, rolled around the background music and fell, the rear outer edge of the right foot slid out, and the left leg stretched to maintain body balance, completing a quadruple ice jump with a very good visual effect .

Then there is the second technical movement, the Axel triple axel, the third and fourth technical movements, the triple axel jump on the back ice, and the squatting rotation with changing feet.

The music continued to tell the story of the "Godfather" family, evoking the memories of all viewers who have watched the movie. Derek Anderson quietly came to the west side of the ice rink to stop, and the grading continued.

The melody of the music rolls forward, pushing the light of the knife under his feet to flash forward, sometimes iron-blooded and sad, sometimes delicate and gentle, reflecting the rise and fall of the Corleone family, telling the story of Mike Corleone and the beautiful Sicilian girl Apollonia It is a wonderful time to meet and fall in love and step into the palace of marriage.

Until the rumbling drums suddenly hit, Derek Anderson's Mike's face changed drastically, his beloved wife was killed, and the flames of revenge were ignited.

The drums picked up speed, the gongs rained down, and a vengeful Mike got into action as Derek Anderson simultaneously began executing the joint jump.

Jumping around the back inner knot loop and then the triple axel jump on the back outside ice point, grasping the rhythm and jumping up, stepping on the accent and falling down, when looking back at the referee's seat, the extremely calm expression and gloomy eyes just rushed into everyone Sight.

Reminiscing before, looking at the present, just a few seconds, the style is very different.

He was obviously a man who had no interest in the family business, but at this moment, he bravely took on everything.

chap!

"Quad? Toe? Triple? Toe! It's so exciting! Derek Anderson's free skating program today is simply beyond imagination!"

Up and down the stands, the free skating program of Canadians participating in the competition is coming to an end.

In the live broadcast area, commentators from different countries commented on his performance in different languages.

This is a normal rebroadcast and also an advance rehearsal.

Next year will be the Sochi Winter Olympics, how can figure skating practitioners like them not be excited.

You can see clearly that this newly built venue will become a stage that figure skaters all over the world dream of being on in February next year.

Countless people have spent their entire careers fighting for that moment, and they are honored to be part of an event like this.

"Axel's triple axel, the rear outer loop axel, and the rear inner loop triple axel... Tsk, the landing on the ice was not very good in the last jump, and the performance of this group of joint jumps can't be high."

"Ah."

"Creating the sequence. Evan, Derek Anderson's emotion in this section would have been better if it had been more outspoken. You can't make his mistake."

"This set of "The Godfather" is here. If I were to give performance scores, the average score should be around 9.4-9.5. Derek Anderson's performance is good enough, but it is a pity that he played before Ivan Beria. If after that, his five-item average score should be enough to reach above 9.5."

"..."

"Derek ANDERSON."

"From? Canada!"

"Yahahahah!!"

In the southeast corner of the ice rink, Li Qin and Anna Klimova made comments one after another. Wang Yi listened and nodded to gain experience. After four minutes and 40 seconds, the free skating competition belonging to Derek Anderson came to an end.

In the middle of the ice rink, a Canadian with blond hair and a height of about 1.7 meters 20, in his early [-]s, after the music stopped and the applause sounded, he first looked at the eleven scoring referees in front of him.

Immediately afterwards, when he raised his arms to thank the audience, his sharp eyes caught Wang Yi's figure outside the baffle wall, the divine light in his eyes immediately gathered, and the distance between the two quickly narrowed.

In today's game, he felt that he played very well.

But the reason why he played so well is the encouragement of his opponent.

Even though he had just been promoted to the senior group, the speed of his rise was far beyond his imagination. After only half a season, he and Ivan Beria had already become a threat.

There is no doubt that the referees like him very much, and the gap in performance points between them will only get smaller and smaller.

The advantages brought by high-difficulty and high-quality quadruple jumps are really too great, maybe he should also increase the number of quadruple jumps...

"Anderson-san~~"

"Anderson!"

Hush huh huh.

Amid the applause, Derek Anderson looked back at Wang Yi.After thanking the audience in the stands around for the last time, I exited the ice rink and took an equal seat.

At the same time, the entrance to the southeast corner of the arena opened, and Wang Yi bent down, took off his skates and stood on the arena.

Take a closer look at his performance clothes. Although the style is still white shirt and black trousers, the materials are far more luxurious than in previous seasons.

The satin-textured top reflects soft light under the illumination of the stadium lights, which greatly enhances the texture of the whole set of Look.

Of course, his choice of overly simple and clean clothes, in Li Qin's view, is completely capricious.He has also disliked his stubborn aesthetics more than once in his heart.

and many more!

Or is it that this brat did it on purpose at all, deliberately substantiated the Internet rumors that Li Qin treated the national team Ziweixing harshly?

Otherwise, every time I ask him if he wants to change into a new outfit, he always says that the white shirt and black pants are very good, and now after watching the video of his B-level games so far, the enthusiastic ice fans will quickly put this white and black suit The combination is listed as the biggest unsolved mystery on him.

"ready or Not?"

Standing on the sidelines, guessing that the time was almost up, Li Qin restrained himself, raised his palm and patted the top of the baffle wall.

"Ah."

Standing in the arena, Wang Yi and Li Qin stood facing each other with their eyes facing each other, halfway through the wall, they were about to go to the battlefield with high fighting spirit.

"remember."

"Play normally, don't be in a hurry, don't worry even if you make a mistake. You are the most difficult one in this game, and if you want to be anxious, others are also anxious."

"Ah."

Snapped!

The voice fell, and the palms hit each other.

One big and one small, they have been walking together for more than ten years. The master and apprentice who achieved each other looked at each other with a smile and nodded tacitly. For the emotion of envy.

At the same time, in the northwest corner of the ice rink and other divisions, Derek Anderson had just finished watching his own slow-motion replay.The on-site announcer who got the score happened to speak out and began to announce his free skating score.

At 19:15, 1 spectators at the Iceberg Skating Palace, and figure skating fans from all over the world who watched the competition on TV, all waited with bated breath.

Maybe too serious?

No, no.

All ice fans who know a little bit about figure skating know what the result of today's free skating competition means when next year is the Olympic Games.

"Canada, Derek Anderson, in the free skate."

wow wow wow.

"The technical score is 106.13, the program content score is 94.60, the free skating total score is 200.73, the Grand Prix final score is 302.16, Rank: 1."

"wow—"
