legend on ice

There was an exclamation, followed by cheers.After ten years of foundation and several months of strengthening, Wang Yi has mastered a new technology.

Although in his own opinion, the success probability of this new technology is a bit low, it can occasionally succeed two or three times out of ten, which is far from the point where it can be used in actual combat.But in the eyes of other coaches and athletes of the national team, being able to jump into a hook around is already very awesome, let alone at an unbelievable age of just over fifteen years old.

However, Wang Yi will not stop there.

For him, the initial jump into the second-hardest quadruple jump is just the beginning.After that, there are still a series of issues to be dealt with, such as how to improve the success rate when performing this jump, how to polish the completion quality of this jump, etc., etc.

Facing the compliments from all the coaches, he said very rationally: What's the use of dancing well in training, but only in official competitions.

The world is so big, he doesn't believe that no athlete has tried this technical movement in daily training.

Maybe it succeeded, maybe it didn't, and no one knows unless they tell outsiders.The reason why everyone is like a gourd and doesn't say anything is that they are thinking about making a blockbuster in the international competition one day.

"Coming? I just want to inform you that the situation of your grand prix in the new season has been confirmed. The first stop is from September 9th to 9th, Helsinki, Finland. The second stop is from September 11th to 9th. On the 30nd, Croatia, Zagreb station."

On Monday, August 2011, 8, light rain.

Wang Yi stepped into the training hall and walked over to Li Qin to say hello. Then, he stood outside the baffle wall of the ice rink and waited for him. Li Qin, who was writing and drawing on the training records with a pen in his hand, immediately said: .

"After a discussion with the coaching staff, starting from this season, the B-level competition is none of your business. This season, your focus will be on the Grand Prix and the World Youth Championship."

"For the music of the short program and free skating, use the two sets that you often skate in your usual training. As for the competition clothing...because the budget is tight, I still use a white top and a black bottom two-piece suit."

"Hey! I said what kind of eyes are you kid? I made this decision entirely out of good intentions. It's not like you didn't miss the faces of the little guys from the United States, Russia, and Japan last season. No matter how many clothes are made Sophisticated, it can’t stand up to the pimples that break out on the face of a young boy during puberty.”

"..."

Does that mean I have to thank you?

After listening to Li Qin's notice and explanation, Wang Yi couldn't help but uttered a word in his heart and gave him a sideways glance, nodded obediently on the surface, bent down, took off the skate protective cover and stepped onto the ice rink, starting the day's training.

He is not a middle school boy who doesn't know how important he is, and he knows very well that he doesn't have any capital to ask for it now.

Temporarily using the competition repertoire of the seniors to participate in the competition, the lack of funds for preparing for the competition, these normal people would feel uncomfortable. The reason why he can understand and accept it is not because he knows that in the field of competitive sports, the results of international competitions determine everything. prerequisites.

Let's put it this way, as long as he has achieved results, no matter how big his request is in the future, as long as it is within a reasonable range, the heads of the national team will not refuse.

In the past, there were no good seedlings, and it was like a fantasy to come up with results.Now that they have encountered good seedlings and let them see the hope of achieving results, as long as their way of thinking is normal, they will never hold back.

As the ISU International Skating Union Grand Prix Youth Group competitions are determined one by one, Wang Yi puts more energy into the proficiency of the two competition programs.

Time flies, and it came to September 9 at 7:[-] am local time in Helsinki, Finland.

The national team, including Wang Yi and Li Qin, as well as a pair of pairs of ice dance athletes and coaches, after successfully completing the registration process, rest and drawing lots, etc., began to get familiar with the competition according to the arrangement of the tournament organizer. Competition venue.

For the specific process, let Wang Yi briefly summarize that, no matter how beautiful the scenery, how pleasant the climate is, and how unique the food is in the port city of Helsinki, they are all like them, no!close!Tie!

He and several other athletes and coaches either ate and slept in the hotel arranged by the tournament organizer, or they were on the way to familiarize themselves with the facilities on the bus to the venue.

From the [-]th to the [-]th, the most leisurely time may be the few hours when we have dinner and have a meeting to sum up.For the rest of the time, even in their sleep, they all slid and danced.

"Ladies? and? gentlemen..."

On September 9th, the official game started with the voice of the live announcer.Dozens of athletes from 9 to 14 years old participated in the four individual events of ice dance, doubles, men's singles and women's singles, and competed in the same field.

Wang Yi feels good about himself, neither nervous nor worrying about gains and losses.

Even in a sense, it is more relaxed and enjoyable than when participating in domestic competitions.

After all, this is a foreign country, and the audience watching the game has almost no acquaintances. Even if there is an unfortunate technical error during the game, they will not feel ashamed or ashamed.

Moreover, this is only a competition for the youth group, and there are very few spectators who are willing to buy tickets to enter the arena, which makes him even more nervous.

It's impossible to make him tense up with only a few hundred people, okay?

He, Wang Yi, has withstood the test of tens of thousands of spectators in the country who came to the scene to watch the game with free tickets.

"The next? skater—"

"Wang Yi, guess who I saw on the way back from the bathroom?"

In the athlete preparation area at the back of the competition venue, Wang Yi was rehearsing the program flow in his head with his eyes closed.Li Qin's voice suddenly sounded from his left side, causing him to open his eyelids and look over with a puzzled expression.

"I saw your dad, and your Uncle Lin. I didn't expect, I didn't expect that your dad is usually so busy with work, but this time he can rush to the scene to support you."

"Huh? Who!?"

The tone rose, and he stood up from his seat with a whoosh.

Wang Yi stared slightly, hoping that Li Qin was joking, but Li Qin's face was also written all over, and I didn't expect the news that these two would come to watch your game live.

Faced with this situation, Wang Yi's emotions gradually evolved into curiosity and bewilderment after a short period of astonishment and shock.

He knows how busy these two are usually, and they don’t see anyone 360 ​​days a year. Why do they suddenly have time and travel all the way to Helsinki, Finland to cheer him on?

"All in all, you should work hard later and perform normally with a calm mind. As long as there are no mistakes in the joint jump and hook jump, tomorrow's free skating will definitely be assigned to the second group."

Seeing that the news he brought boosted the brat's mental state and momentum, after achieving his goal, Li Qin stretched out his hand and patted Wang Yi's shoulder for analysis with a smile.

"According to my observation, apart from you, only three of the eleven athletes participating in this men's singles competition have mastered the six triple jumps. So you just need to relax and perform technical movements one by one at your own pace."

"In your age group, the referees pay more attention to the technical strength of the athletes in the men's competition. As long as you perform normally and the referees score normally, I don't even think of the possibility of you losing the game."

Wang Yi:? ? ?

Lao Qin, I didn't expect you to be such a fickle person.

What did you say when you participated in the B-level competition last year, don't underestimate any opponent, and be prepared to lose the game at any time.

How come less than a year has passed, and you have become like this?

The competition ahead is in full swing.In the backcourt preparation area, the master and the apprentice came and went to fight for a long time.

Fifteen minutes later, when the staff of the tournament organizer informed that the second group of matches was about to start, the two stepped into the athlete's channel leading to the front court one after the other, and quickly focused their attention on the competition.

Throughout the process of scoring, I saw the assistant coaches, translators, and team doctors frowning. I really don't know how to evaluate this pair of mentors and apprentices.

The big one doesn't look like a middle-aged man, and the young one doesn't look like a teenager, but they can get along so well after so many years... Uh, apart from the fate bestowed by God, there is really no other reason to explain it.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the second group of six athletes will start to warm up for 6 minutes. Please pay attention to your..."

"Come out, come out."

"Lin Jianhu, look, look, your son has come out."

The short program of the first group of six athletes ended, and the second group of six athletes entered the ice rink one by one to start the warm-up before the game.

On the south side of the ice rink, at a seat four or five meters away from the arena, there was a man with short hair and dark casual clothes, with a slightly rounded face and a mouth and nose that resembled Wang Yi's eighth. After seeing a boy wearing a white shirt and black trousers standing on the ice, he couldn't help but jump up and stretch out his right hand to point forward to the left, while slapping his body with his left hand very vigorously There was a crisp sound on the thigh of the companion next to him.

Look at the man who was beaten by him.

The moment he felt the pain in his legs, he first subconsciously looked in Wang Yi's direction, and then after seeing Wang Yi's figure clearly, he moved the same eyebrows and eyes as Wang Yi.He lowered his head and stared at the seemingly reminding, but actually retaliatory palm on his leg for a long time, and finally stretched out his right hand, and grabbed the endless hand into his palm.

The results can be described as immediate.

Not only did he successfully stop the slapping action of the man next to him, but he also gained a sight full of words, when did you become so courageous?

"……I was wrong."

The right hand is holding the left hand, and it seems to be the strong side, but the first to apologize.

Wearing a black sportswear, this middle-aged man with a strong figure and a figure that is easy to mess with at a glance opened his thin lips, and his resolute face with a sharp silhouette without a trace of fat softened instantly, and he said something Only you and the man in front of you can understand the words.

"It's really just an accident that I didn't make it back on your birthday, I promise it's only this one time. Or... make it up to you tonight?"

By the way, haven't you always wanted to chase your son around the world to watch his games? Let's start with today's game.From now on, as long as our son is still skating, no matter which country he goes to participate in the competition, I will try my best to accompany you to the scene to cheer him on.
