legend on ice

Trust your gut?

I still believe in my iron fist.

But... Heh heh, since you are still young, let me let you be willful for a while.

When you become an adult next year and finish your work at the Winter Olympics, I'll see if I still can't get used to your bad habits.

Faced with Wang Yi's very unscientific request, Li Qin hesitated for a while but did not object.He waved his hand to drive people away, out of sight and out of mind, and started the next stage of training.

The days passed day by day, February ended and March came.

On the day of the Waking of Insects on March [-]th, the Chinese figure skating national team, consisting of three pairs, one pair of ice dancers, one men's single and women's singles, several coaches and staff members, arrived in the UK by plane, which opened the door for next year's Olympic Games. The number of entries in the World Championship tour.

Thanks to his own control, Wang Yi was eight hours behind Beijing and adapted well to London, where the average temperature is five degrees Celsius lower.

After successfully arriving at the hotel designated by the tournament organizer and completing a series of registration procedures, he lay down in the room for half a day and took a nap, and regained all his vitality early in the morning on March [-]th.

Li Qin, Liu Yan, and Anna Klimova, who were still struggling with jet lag, sighed in their hearts at the performance that was no different from that in China. Their youthful bodies are indeed enviable.

Unlike them, I keep getting sleepy when I shouldn't be sleeping, and I can't sleep when I should be sleeping.Lying on the hotel bed and tossing and turning until late at night, it was only an hour or two of squinting, and I recovered some energy for the next day's trip.

"Yi Wang Sang—"

"Yi Wang Sang!"

"Wang Yi!!"

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!"

Shouting, screaming, and cheers one after another, Wang Yi got off the commuter car.

At the venue of this World Championships, outside the parking lot of the John Rabat Center, there were about fifty well-dressed fans ranging in age from 20 to 40 years old. Most of them were female fans, waving all kinds of cheering objects, which were particularly conspicuous.

After stopping to think for a few seconds, Wang Yi estimated the time.

After adjusting the clothes on his body, he said something to Li Qin and Liu Yan.Afterwards, with a smile on his face, he walked up to the fan group with a loud voice, thanking them for coming to the scene to cheer for him, shaking hands, hugging, autographing, taking photos, and one-stop service. Without much effort, he gained a lot Die-hard fans.

Standing in the distance with arms folded, Li Qin looked at the children he brought up, surrounded by crowds, loved by ice fans, and interacting with ice fans, feeling both emotional and proud in his heart.

Good talent, good image, good family environment, and so good at doing things.

He can already be sure that this kid is destined to become the brightest star in the field of figure skating in the future.

"Thank you? everyone, Bye!"

It took nearly 10 minutes to communicate with ice fans, and Wang Yi waved goodbye after Liu Yan helped take a group photo.

Smiling and gestured to Li Qin, he took the time to enter the arena and started the first adaptation training.

On the [-]th and [-]th, the warm-up before the two games will soon end, and the official game day will come.

Wang Yi came to the backcourt preparation area at 04:30 p.m. on the 05th to prepare for the competition. He stood on the ice at nearly 30:6 and returned to the backcourt 2013 minutes later. The [-] London Figure Skating World Championships, men's singles The competition of the last group of skating started immediately.

He found a seat at random and sat down. He was chatting with Li Qin while waiting in the fourth place. During this period, he couldn't help but think of Ivan Beria, who was drawn the second lottery of the short program.

Silently thinking in his heart, he wondered how this Russian, who was expelled from the club by the coach and has been in the whirlpool of "slapping the door" after the Grand Prix finals, looking for venues for training, could perform in this World Championship.

It is very important for any athlete to maintain regular and proper training.After not practicing for a week, the jerky feeling after going on the ice can be seen by outsiders at a glance.

Not to mention one or two months, plus no coaching.He is really curious now, how this farce with a mystery inside will end.

"The?next?skater, Ivan?BERIA."

"Represented? Russia."

Hush huh huh.

While Wang Yi was thinking about it, Ivan Beria, currently number one in the world in men's singles, stepped onto the field. The 30-second countdown ended, and the short program music from "Chicago" played.

The opening skating debut, the pressing steps accelerated, and the first four weeks and then three weeks of the opening joint jump preparations.

Ivan Beria jumped up, and Ivan Beria jumped around the back of the inner ring. His body only rotated in the air for two weeks before falling on the ice, which directly caused 1 taels of stands on the front court. Thousands of spectators let out a sigh of disappointment and reaped a mistake.

The second technical move, Axel triple axel.

Overall quality of finish is ok.Although the sliding out of the falling ice was not smooth, at least I stood still without falling.

However, immediately after a set of rotations and a set of consecutive steps, there was a problem again with the temporary combination of the four-way jump on the back outside point and the triple jump on the back outside point. Not only was the number of rotations insufficient in the first jump, In the falling ice skating stage, he turned over and supported the ice with both hands and did not connect to the second jump. The short program technique was divided into big diving.

Seeing this, Wang Yi didn't know what the audience felt. He felt very sour and couldn't bear to watch it again.

He directly moved his eyes away from the real-time screen, and accidentally bumped into Derek Anderson, the last player in the short program, in the process, and got a dumbfounded expression.

Think about it too.

Who would have thought that Ivan Beria, who hadn't seen him for just a month or two, and who is currently number one in the world, would be able to skate the short program like this and quit the competition for the top ten on the first day of the competition.

It is unheard of to be in such a poor state, and it almost made Wang Yi wonder whether this will be the last time he will compete with Ivan Beria on the same field.

"This child...is really not easy."

"We don't know the inside story, so we won't express our opinions. But no matter who was right and who was wrong before, after he slipped the short program like this, more cruel things may have happened in Russia."

Beside Wang Yi, Li Qin couldn't stand it anymore.A rare outburst of sympathy and regret for the gloomy future of Ivan Beria.

"Let's put it this way, how many people supported him in the previous 'slap the door' incident, how many people will criticize him after the program ends. This farce has ended so far, and his coach has become the winner. This more than 20 A man who is [-] years old will bear all the blame."

"..."

"Ivan Beria."

"From? Russia."

Li Qin's voice fell, and the nightmarish two minutes and 50 seconds ended.

Ivan Beria hurriedly exited the ice rink, took the clothes from the staff of the Russian Ice Federation who accompanied him to the game and put them on his shoulders, walked into the waiting area and sat down alone, welcoming the darkest moment in his career.

The eleven scoring referees were also very happy, and quickly gave the score, and the on-site announcer immediately notified it.

The huge John Rabat Center fell into an eerie silence. The audience who witnessed the disaster at the scene suddenly didn't know whether to applaud or not.

Do you sympathize?maybe.

But their bigger feeling is disappointment.

I can't understand how the world number one in men's singles skating has fallen to this point, and I can't figure out how Ivan Beria can look like a different person when he is not long before the Grand Prix finals.

"The Russian player, Ivan Beria, scored in the short program."

wow wow wow.

"The technical score is 31.61, and the program content score is 42.25. The total score of the short program is 73.86, and Rank: 18."

"Jesus, how come?!"

The game ends and the score appears.

Li Qin patted Wang Yi's shoulder with emotion, and Derek Anderson jumped up not far away.

On the contrary, Wang Yi was very calm, but his mood was indescribably complicated.

Celebrities, athletes, and competitive sports are really, really cruel.

If you are not careful, you will fall into the abyss due to factors on or off the court and be abandoned by the whole world.

"The next? skater, Mikhail Chekhov."

"Represented? Russia."

Ivan Beria's score was confirmed and his compatriot Mikhail Chekhov took over.

If it is a competitor with a similar level, I am afraid that I will be very happy at this moment, after all, I have waited for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be in the top position.

However, Mikhail Chekhov himself is not strong, and he has already tried his best to keep the pick in the last group of each game.Sudden heavy burdens are added to the body, and it is necessary to perform perfectly to ensure that the pressure brought by next season's Olympic places can be imagined.

Therefore, he made a mistake shortly after the start of the game.

But compared with Ivan Beria, he performed much better.

In the three sets of jumps, Axel dropped one triple axel, quadruple jump on the back-to-side ice, and triple-weekly hook on the back-to-the-ice, followed by a triple to the back-to-the-ice.

After finishing a set of short programs, the technical score was 44.05, the program content score was 41.93, and the total score was 85.98, ranking third, somewhat saving a bit of face for the Russian Legion.

Otherwise, he will definitely follow in the footsteps of Ivan Beria, be abandoned by the scoring referee, and end his career as a professional athlete early.

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

"Represented? China."

"Yi Wangsang, goddamn—"

"Yi Wang Sang!"

"Small! Come on! I'm here with your second dad, here!!"

Hush huh huh.

The applause and screams came, and the weird atmosphere brought by the previous two games was swept away.Wang Yi pressed his hands on the inside of the baffle wall and pushed, and the preparation time kept going backwards in the last few tens of seconds. He skating to the center of the ice rink and stopped, facing the referee's seat under the north stand.

Above the stands, two dear old fathers sat under the familiar photo banners, surrounded by expectant faces holding bright five-star small red flags.

As the one who was supported and loved, how could he let them down, how could he have the right to let them down.

"Ocean~Ocean", once a story of strength and longing, will bring a touch of depression and melancholy this time.

I hope ice fans who like him can accept this change.

after all.

No matter how mature his mind is, he is still a mortal.
