legend on ice

"Hey! It's really beautiful to complete this outer point four and outer point three."

"It's really pretty, Coach Li Qin, you teach well."

"That's not."

Jumping up and down, Wang Yi successfully completed the first set of jumps in the short program.Several coaches outside the baffle wall on the north side of the ice rink, either expressed their appreciation or nodded with satisfaction, expressing their attitudes in their own ways.

Meanwhile, skating on the ice continued.

Wang Yi turned from the southwest corner of the ice rink with the front inner edge of the left foot and entered the preparation stage for the second single jump. After leaving a '3'-shaped track on the ice with the ice blade on his left foot, his right leg moved from back to front Swipe to help the bent left leg jump forward and fly into the air. The axis of the body is tightened with the arms around the chest and the second rotation begins. One and a half, two and a half, three and a half weeks, the outer edge of the right foot falls on the ice, and the left The legs are stretched and swung to maintain balance, and the sliding out process is natural, smooth and flawless.

Then there is the third jump, which is also the last jump of the short program—the single-jump triple hook jump that must be performed once in the short program by youth athletes in the 2011-2012 season according to the rules of the International Skating Union.

This one is prepared with the rear outer edge of the left foot, and the knife teeth of the right foot are used to assist the take-off. At the moment of take-off, the center of gravity of the body is on the left, but the direction of rotation in the air is on the right. The difficulty of the movement is second only to the triple axel. There may be problems on the body, such as the left foot can't hold down the outer edge at the moment of take-off, the ice of the right foot's blade is irregular, and the blade turns ahead of time when it completely leaves the ice, etc., but it will not happen on Wang Yi.

Because he knows how important the quadruple hook, an upgraded version of this technique, will be to a figure skater who wants to win an Olympic champion in the future.

said with no exaggeration.

If this technical movement is not mastered well, even if you can still win when competing with other athletes of the same level, the difficulty and method of winning can only depend on the scoring judge or God's preference.

"Hook hands for three weeks."

"It's done!! Wang Yi is as stable as ever."

At 35 minutes and [-] seconds, Wang Yi jumped into the third single hop of the short program and began to perform the last technical movement with a swipe of the ice skate on his feet, which was a joint rotation composed of three postures: squatting, swallow, and upright.

Outside the baffle wall of the ice rink, a group of coaches exchanged opinions with each other, and then picked up pens and began to write lines of comments on the training manual in their hands.

Just like the kind-faced coach said before the start of the test match.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, no one dared to speak nonsense with their eyes open.

Although different coaches are in charge of different athletes on weekdays, they are full of competition with each other.But no matter who the students are, as long as they have achieved results and have the ability to expand the influence of figure skating in China, they will be very happy in their hearts.

No matter how good the taste of a small piece of chicken cake is, so what, under the control of the game rules in the system, everyone gets a little bit of it.

But what if the egg cake is made into a single layer cake, or even a double or triple layer cake?

Just thinking about it in their heads will make them feel very happy.

"Since Wang Yi's technical situation has been determined to be stable, we will put more burden on him from this season."

"In addition, all the coaches in charge of single skating must do their best to provide psychological counseling to young athletes in their daily training in the future. Years ago, when Wang Yi's back and outer points were stable around the ice, and when he jumped into the back and inner knots all around, I don't want to see young athletes' mentality unbalanced and small talk in private life."

When the time came to two minutes and 50 seconds, Wang Yi stopped after performing the last technical action.In the coaching team, the head of the coaching team, with gray temples and surnamed Wang, who has been fighting for the cause of Chinese figure skating for decades, watched Wang Yi exit the ice rink and watched him find a corner and sit down to untie the straps of his skates when no one spoke to him. , with a rather displeased expression, he emphasized.

"At first, I thought that a little jealousy is not a bad thing, at least I can realize that others are better than myself. But now it seems that immature guys abound, and it is not reliable to expect them to grow on their own."

"Even the senior group has started to say something recently. Wang Yi is young and has no injuries, so what can they do when they are fifteen or sixteen years old! After today's test match, Coach Xu, you go back and tell everyone in the senior group If they have any dissatisfaction, just come to me. Wang Yi is 15 years old and he is in his 20s. Why do I feel that Wang Yi is much more mature and sensible than them and their gang of cronies?!"

On the north side of the ice rink, a storm is brewing in the coaching staff.

On the east side of the ice rink, Wang Yi untied the straps and took off his skates. According to the real-time state of his body, he moved his ankles and relaxed his leg muscles.

After resting for five or six minutes, when the coaching staff announced the start of the pair short program test, he put down his right foot resting on his left knee, and moved his gaze to the direction where a large number of national team athletes gathered on the west side of the ice rink.Sitting on the back of the seat with his back loosened, he closed his eyes and shook his head helplessly in his heart.

Envy, jealousy, feeling that my status is threatened...

All kinds of bad things really made him lazy to talk about them.

What is his current level of strength? He has seen real geniuses, and has been baptized by dozens of geniuses who have mastered five quadruple jumps at the age of fifteen or sixteen.

Although some of them have flaws in certain technical movements, the world is different from the times.But strength is strength, and it will not be discounted for various reasons.

So he~

That's why I won't get carried away when I finish something, achieve the best in the country, and be complacent in the face of everyone's praise.

One day in the future, even if he starts to eat his laurels and enjoy the praise of others, it will be because he has really practiced his technical movements to the extreme and climbed to the peak of the figure skating men's singles field.

"Next, I will start free skating, and I will start with women's singles and ice dancing."

"However, I would like to remind you that in test matches and test matches, it is good to show the greatest difficulty you have mastered, but you must also consider your own competitive state."

"You have also seen the serious mistakes of Wang Lu and Hu Bin just now. I can only say that fortunately Wang Lu was not injured. If she is injured, maybe the new season has not started yet, and they will have to be reimbursed for the entire season. Before the start of the test match, I emphasized that the coaches of the coaching staff know what you usually do on the training ground. It’s not that you are not allowed to fight or not, but at least choose the right time when you fight!”

For women's singles, ice dance, men's singles, and pairs, one group of athletes competes and the next group joins up.Nearly two o'clock in the afternoon, the 2011-2012 season figure skating national team's intra-team test competition came to an end without any surprises.

While resting for lunch, Wang Yi answered the phone and went outside the training base to get the amulet necklace that was sent back to the manufacturer to adjust the length.

I went back to the dormitory and wore it around my neck. I took a few photos with my mobile phone and sent them to the two parents in exchange for a few complimenting text messages. At four o’clock, I came to the dance room on the second floor of the training hall to practice dancing. I was busy until the sun went down. Completed the study of the day.

In the days that followed, it was repeated like this.

Playing games, sleeping, eating, training, playing games, over and over again, February, March, April and May end, and June, July and August follow.

Looking back, it was indeed monotonous and tiring, but he was content with it, and Li Qin was so self-disciplined and sensible that he had persuaded him more than once.

But how did he answer at that time.

He said to Li Qin, rest?Why should he rest if he is not injured or sick? After retiring, he has a lot of time to rest.

He is 15 years old this year, and there are only about ten years left in the golden age of professional figure skating.

When he stops, other athletes don't stop.

He didn't want to regret it because of a momentary slack someday in the future.

chap——

"Stop! This time it's 79.6 centimeters. Your take-off height for the quad hook is still too high."

In early August, the 2011-2012 season of figure skating is about to officially start.In the training hall of the Chinese National Figure Skating Team, the assistant coach Li Qin, who was measuring the jump data, gave a set of height and speed figures and immediately called a stop, and called Wang Yi, who was about to repeat the take-off and slide-in action, to his side.

"Listen. After our calculations, with your current height and weight, with a jump height of 72 centimeters and a rotation speed of 5.5 per second, you can complete the quadruple hook very beautifully. So you can completely control your take-off height, try your best Reduce the impact on the knee joint of the right leg during the sliding out of the falling ice.”

"I……"

"Don't you, you, be obedient. I admit that jumping high is a good thing, but you also have to take care of your developing body. Let's put it this way, I don't want you to take off and land every time. The test of sports life. You are young and your physique is not suitable for injury. It is indeed a good thing. But remember, some things are not afraid of [-], just in case.”

"..."

Standing opposite Li Qin, listening to his scolding and persuasion, Wang Yi glanced at his real-time status and nodded in contemplation for a moment, then slid away with the skates under his feet.

He is convinced that Li Qin, who taught him since he was a child, will not harm him. Being able to do it does not mean that he must do his best every time. When performing technical movements, it is really better to be calm and free.

Let's not talk about whether it will affect his health.

At least, from the audience's point of view, a free and easy jump is always better than a super long standby time to hold back a big jump for a long time.

Skate, pedal, accelerate.

Wang Yi once again slid from the east side of the ice rink to the center of the ice rink with his back. He raised his right leg and drew a reverse S-curved outer edge with the blade under his left foot. Take off and fly into the air. After the skates on both feet completely leave the ice, the arms overlap and lock the body, and the center axis and center of gravity of the torso are firmly controlled to start rotating.

The first week was completed quickly, and the second and third weeks also went smoothly.

When the jumping height began to drop, he continued to spin in the air. Li Qin on the sidelines and several coaches present held their breaths in unison.

Will this attempt be successful?

The kid on the ice rink has only practiced this technique for a few months, and he has already reached this point.Now in the international arena, the back-to-out ice quadruple jump and the back-in-knot loop quadruple jump are not performed alone. He has already reached this point. Is it too exaggerated?

If it is achieved, if it is achieved, even if it is only in training, it can be regarded as the number one in the world to some extent.

chapped.

brush--

"Fuck! Stopped? Fucking stopped?! What did I see? Hook quadruple? Hook quadruple!?"
