legend on ice

"Evan! You are definitely the best one tonight!!"

"Son, you are the best!!"

"Wang Yi!"

"Yi Wang Sang—"

wow wow wow.

At 19:22, the music of the free skating ended, Wang Yi swung his arms and looked back and stopped suddenly.

Keeping your body still, stare at the referee's seat under the North Stand for five seconds. In the northwest corner of the ice rink, Anna Klimova jumped up and down and clapped loudly. Liu Yan patted the top of the baffle wall to cheer for him. Li Qin smiled He gave him a thumbs up, dragged the ear-splitting screams and applause from the 1 spectators, and came to the venue to wake him up.

Pulling away from the performance state, Wang Yi relaxed his body and smiled, his eyes once again swept over a dozen scoring judges.

Immediately afterwards, he raised his arms and began to thank the audience for their support. The sound waves and bouquets of flowers smashing into the ice rink from the stands on all sides fully proved how much the audience liked his performance just now.

As the person involved, he himself felt quite good after skating, and he had a vague premonition that no matter what ranking he finally won in this competition, this set of "Love Over the Nation" would become his masterpiece.

Four minutes and 40 seconds, obviously so short, but so long.One piece of music, thirteen technical movements, tell the life of many people.

"Yi? WANG."

"From? China."

The on-site announcer once again reported his name and nationality, reminding him to leave as soon as possible.

Wang Yi seized the time, sent four blown kisses, and received another wave of screams. With a kick of the skates, he slid to the exit of the northwest corner of the ice rink and jumped in front of the three coaches.

After receiving the ice skate cover from Li Qin, he was about to put on the national team coat.Unexpectedly, Anna Klimova, who was still very emotional, hugged him first. The extremely chaotic English was mixed with Russian, and she praised him in different ways, and contributed a wave of material to the camera lens that was being shot next to her. .

Fortunately, Li Qin was counting the time and interrupted Anna Klimova's confession, otherwise the perceptual choreography coach would definitely affect the equalization process.

The consequences can be big or small.

From verbal warnings to fines are all possible, depending on the mood of the chief referee.

After a few reminders, he took Wang Yi to the waiting area and sat down.Li Qin and Anna Klimova sandwiched him from left to right, and the real-time screen directly opposite the three of them had already entered the slow-motion playback link.

Directly above the ice rink, the big screens facing the stands on all sides play synchronously.

After raising both hands, the inner knot loop jumps, and after the hands are raised, the outer ice triple axel jump appeared again and again. The close-ups from different camera positions gave enough details, so that the whole world is watching the finals of this season's grand prix The audience is addicted.

In the slow-motion footage, Wang Yi is wearing black and white competition clothing, and his slightly messy black hair dances with the jumping, with a unique sense of beauty.

Arms raised high, face with eyes closed, under the light of the scene, the ice surface of the stadium, and the satin white shirt on the upper body, it seemed to be covered with a soft light.

The whole group of joint jumps is no longer just high and far.Instead, from expressions to movements, he directly announced to the world what kind of jump can be called beauty.

Anyone who saw the execution process of this technical action can be very sure that the execution points of this group of jumps will be filled up.

Unless the dozen or so referees who are responsible for scoring the game want to enjoy the greetings of figure skating fans all over the world after the game is over.

"Oh~ No matter how many times you watch this combination of jumps, it will still make people feel amazing. Evan, I am very sure that your innovation this time will make this movement one of the conditions for improving the jumping GOE execution score."

Wang Yi: ...

"I suggest you come up with a name for this move, how does the Evan jump sound? Oh, what's your face, don't be shy boy. This move will definitely become your trademark."

I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense.

How could it be possible for me to initiate the raise with both hands? It is obviously the famous American figure skater Adam Rippon in his previous life.

However, after bringing this action to the world in a flash of his brain, he couldn't explain it to the outside world.

In the end, I can only, um... I am very shameless and eat and take it again to be a real villain, and have the audacity to admit this creative first time.

Wang Yi was caught in a battle between heaven and man on the waiting table. On the 30-meter-wide and 60-meter-long ice surface, Ivan Beria, who had already slid around the field for more than three laps, was clearly aware of the equalization process this time. Unusual.

As a figure skater, he recognizes the anomaly.As a competitor, he very much does not want to see.

The fact that the scoring judges are so cautious can only explain one problem, they are fully considering the final competition rankings of the athletes being evaluated.

Maybe over Canadian Derek Anderson?No, no, he should be thinking too much.

The gap in program content brought about by qualifications and nationality cannot be caught up by a season of hard work.

"FREE? program? please."

Hush huh huh.

Inside and outside the arena, I waited for about 3 minutes.The on-site announcer issued a reminder of the score, and the audience spontaneously applauded Wang Yi again, and waited with him for the result of the first Grand Prix final of his career.

"Chinese skater, Yi? WANG, scored in the free skating."

"The technical score is 119.03, the program content score is 84.14. The free skating total score is 203.17, and the Grand Prix final score is 302.03. Rank: 2."

"Oh woo———?!"

"Yi Wang Sang, godfather!"

"Son, don't be discouraged! Second place is pretty good! Even if you are not the champion, Dad is still proud of you!!"

Hush huh huh.

The announcer's voice fell, and the results of the finals were confirmed.

Just as Li Qin and Wang Yi thought before the game, they lost in a reasonable way because of the gap in program content points.

but!

Although he lost the game, Wang Yi won the performance, harvested the love of more figure skating fans, and laid a solid foundation for future victories.

No.2302.03 points, No.1302.16 points, the difference of 0.13 points is already negligible.

next game...

No!Preferably next season, he will rewrite the game seat as well.

Grand Prix, Olympic Games, which is more important, he can distinguish clearly.It's not afraid to be a little late to climb to the top.

"The content score of the program is actually 42.07 points? Not bad, not bad, it's eight stops higher than yesterday's short program."

"Evan..."

"Anna, I'm serious. The reason why I am improving so fast is thanks to your nationality and the help your skills have given me. Compared with winning the grand prix finals and world championships, I want to win next winter Olympics. Help me, please."

"..."

After leaning into Anna Klimova's ear and saying these words, Wang Yi stood up from the waiting table and smiled brightly.

Facing this long-expected result, he couldn't say he was happy or disappointed.Taking advantage of the situation, he waved to the nearby spectators, accompanied by the voice of the on-site announcer introducing the last contestant, followed in Li Qin's footsteps and stepped into the athlete's aisle, and exchanged glances with Anna Klimova, who was walking beside him They looked at each other with a smile and nodded.

As a person in this field, to put it bluntly, in the face of an Olympic champion who only emerges once every four years, a grand prix champion or a world champion is nothing.

How many people miss it once is to miss a lifetime.An Olympic champion, no matter how many grand prix finals champions and world championship champions will not change.

"Yi? WANG player!"

"Yi Jun, please look here! Look here!"

"Wang Yi!"

Click, click, click.

Step out of the passage and into the media area.

Cameras, video cameras, filming and recording, Wang Yi was once again surrounded by reporters of different skin colors.

As usual, Li Qin explained to Liu Yan, and after briefly answering a few questions from the CCTV sports reporter, he went back to the athlete preparation area to ask for Wang Yi's free skating report card, which he was going to send back to the national team.

It's just that when he held the thin piece of paper in his hand and looked at it, a fire quickly burned in his chest, and he felt deeply wronged for his disciple.

No matter how good the skaters are this season, is No.3 the No.3?These referees who are responsible for giving technical points, the calculators are really good enough!

Except for the impossibility of deduction, which is the triple axel jump after the inner knot ring is raised with both hands, and the outer ice point is followed by the triple axel. Goe's execution points are filled up, and none of the other twelve movements has a full score.

It's pie!It's true that the ice fans who were moved to cry by those two sets of consecutive steps are fools, right? !

click-

Even though I was very upset, my face was full of displeasure.After reading the sub-table, Li Qin took out his mobile phone to take a photo and sent it to the head of the coaching staff who must have stayed up all night in China.

After doing this, he quickly adjusted his mood, folded the paper in his hand casually, and put it in his trouser pocket.

Without saying a word, he stood in front of the real-time screen in the backcourt, watched the performance of the Russians on the field, and uttered invisible curses with all his strength.

As a result, ahem, ahem, maybe the curse took effect.

Ivan Beria on the ice rink, in the second half of the free skating, several jumps landed unstable on the ice.Even if he tried his best to control it without major mistakes, it still affected the visual effects of the entire set of free skating, making this "Goodbye Nonino" less coherent.

Will you feel sorry?

Are you kidding me? Li Qin, who is still angry, wishes his son's opponent could make as many mistakes as possible.

For No.3, although they themselves have been mentally prepared, there must be a major prerequisite for accepting this result-the opponents are indeed strong enough!

Instead of this one now.

It's obviously not that strong, but it was abruptly praised by the scoring judges.
