legend on ice

The score appeared, breaking through the 40-point mark for the first time.At the waiting table, Michiko Watanabe, who was in her early [-]s, smiled excitedly and hugged the disciples beside her.

In contrast, Matsumoto Koichi.

Although the expression on the face is also very happy,? But all the attention has been shifted to the person inside the baffle wall.A pair of bright black eyes watched the other person's every move with high concentration, as if wanting to imprint that person into his heart.

At the same time, the sideline camera lens cut back to the arena, and the on-site announcer announced the name and nationality of the last contestant.In the stands on all sides, [-] spectators no longer suppressed their inclinations, let go of their voices and shouted loudly, cheering for their favorite athletes with practical actions.

Let's look at the protagonist Wang Yi who enjoys this favor.

Sliding forward on the ice with head held high, raising both arms high, responding to the support of enthusiastic fans.Obviously in the away game,? Even before the start of the game,? Performed his own short program,? Has conquered the entire Yoyogi Gymnasium.

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

"Represented? China."

"Wang Yi!!"

"Yi Wang Sang!"

"Damn it!!"

Hush huh huh.

The applause was like rain, and the shouts were like thunder.

At 18:42, Wang Yi skated to the center of the ice rink and stopped. His eyes turned to Bai Xuning at the entrance and exit of the northwest corner. He looked at Matsumoto Koichi on the equal seats for a few seconds, and then turned his gaze back to the bottom of the north stand More than a dozen scoring referees, with their arms hanging by their sides, opened their eyes to penetrate time, and used memories to connect the past with the present.

The 30-second countdown ended, and the soft piano melody flew up like a feather in the wind.

Wang Yi blinked, then blinked again, waking up from the memory, with a touch of emotional nostalgia on his handsome face, leaning forward, stretching his arms and feet, moving the skates, and turning his right arm to the left to draw a melancholy arc , the half-length black hair fluttered in the airflow, softening the lines of his face.

In the tenth second of the opening of the short program, he tapped the ice with his left foot and swung his leg, turned around and supported his body with his right foot to perform the first technical action, jumping and swallowing.

The standard T-shape, the variant Q-shape is natural and smooth, the right hand hooks the back of the left foot, and when the left leg is folded back close to the top of the head, the left hand is slowly raised from low to high, and the five fingers are stretched and tightened during the rotation, holding the invisible dream.

Immediately afterwards, the fingers were released, the swing of the floating leg accelerated, and the right leg bent into a squatting position.The second technical movement is a squatting rotation that changes feet without changing positions.

Over the ice rink, melodious and soothing background music flows.

On the ice, Wang Yi first supported his body with his left foot, stretched his right foot out, pointed his right index finger to the sky, and followed his gaze.

After a full [-] laps, the legs and feet should cooperate with each other to jump up on the spot, and switch to the right foot to continue turning.At the same time, fold the left leg behind the joint of the right leg, rub the tip of the index finger of the left hand against the ice surface, and draw circles one after another.

At that moment, the speed changed from fast to slow, and the scene in front of Wang Yi returned from the present to a few years ago.

Happiness, satisfaction, attainment, let go.Enjoying, cherishing, and confidently standing at the top of men's figure skating and meeting the challenges of later generations will be the focus of his future career.

As time goes by, after seeing off his old friends, he is not lonely, and batches of newcomers will bring endless freshness.

But whether it is a fan, or simply wants to surpass his competitors.He doesn't mind being a nightmare for their entire careers if they can't beat him.

brush!

The rhythm of the melody changed, and a stronger accent hit.

Wang Yi finished squatting and turned to stand up, turned the rear outer edge of the left ice blade to the front inner edge, and swung his floating right leg from the back to the front, using the ice dancing technique to further increase the skating speed.

The sharp blade spun three times on the ice surface, and stopped under the west stand.

His eyes moved up from the face of Matsumoto Hikichi who was sitting in the equal seats, and looked at the audience who were watching his performance. His eyes were slightly closed, his neck was turned to his right shoulder, his left arm was raised, and his wrist was turned.Riding on the sound of ding ding dong dong, drifting and swaying with Yingying wave light, and began to perform the step-by-step grading.

At one minute and five seconds, Wang Yi set off from the left side of the ice rink, spun the skates under his feet, and began to slide under the close-up of the on-site camera lens.

The front outer edge of the left foot draws an arc to the left, turn the body counterclockwise, and then the outer edge of the left foot slides out another arc to the right. With an inside hook step, he slid a clean and clear arc on the ice with one foot, and performed the second time with the other foot, which fully demonstrated his control of skating skills.

Afterwards, one section of music passed, and the next section of music that was warm and peaceful flew up.Wang Yi stopped suddenly while gliding, changing from extremely dynamic to extremely quiet, and once again let his eyes go across time, a longing smile appeared on the corners of his face and mouth, he raised his hands and folded them, releasing the past and looking forward to the future.

That picture, that smile.Against the background of the pure white ice surface, it is fluorescent and hazy like a dream. It was clearly captured by the live camera lens and transmitted to every corner of the world through the live broadcast signal. It fell into the eyes of hundreds of millions of figure skating fans, but it made them give birth An absurd idea that it's not real, that I'm not dreaming.

After they thought over and over again and made sure, they looked at Wang Yi on the TV screen again.Comments like flowers in the mirror, beauty like a dream, gestures, stretching and elegance, harmony and unity, integration of characters and performances, etc., can't help but come to their minds.

Simple, beautiful, so pure.

What is the top performance, just look at Wang Yi on the field to know the answer.

"...It's really smooth and calm. I really want to have such a skating performance."

On the field, Wang Yi slid and danced, passing halfway through the grading steps.

In the northwest corner of the arena and other divisions, Matsumoto Koichi lost his mind and talked to himself, his eyes locked on the real-time screen not far away, greedily absorbing nutrition from Wang Yi.

Not far away, Bai Xuning pressed his hands on the top of the baffle wall and watched seriously.Listening to Xu Tianxi's explanation, he kept nodding his head, but there was only one person in his eyes, and that was Wang Yi.

Before today, it was not that he had never seen Wang Yi's skating.

But to this day, he and Wang Yi are in the same arena and participated in the same competition.He only felt [-]% the sense of oppression that Wang Yi naturally exuded.

That kind of strength, that kind of incomparably dazzling brilliance, is the game video, which can never be felt in normal training!

In this short program, the music was so soft, and Wang Yi's skating was so graceful, but he felt his hair stand on his head when he watched it, and his mind was captured.

He clearly heard the coach's voice, but he didn't remember a single word. What he thought about the most was whether he was a little silly for pestering Wang Yi?

In addition, he suddenly realized.No wonder he was like a fart all day long, asking all the time to show his presence in front of Wang Yi.

It turned out that the body reacted faster than the brain, and it had already subconsciously approached him.

"..."

Analyze behavior and clarify your heart.

Bai Xuning didn't know what he thought of. He glanced at Matsumoto Koichi who was a few meters away, and when he turned his attention back to Wang Yi again, the protagonist who touched countless hearts had already slid back to the middle area from the east side of the ice rink.

Look closely at his feet, the front outer edge of the left foot is in front, the rear outer edge of the right foot is behind, and he is gliding longitudinally.

Look at his waist and arms.

Slightly leaning back, the two arms stretched out, the big arms brushed the cheeks and forehead, and opened on both sides of the head.Looking at the dome of Yoyogi Gymnasium, he smiled comfortably.

One minute and 35 seconds.

In the second half of the short program, he straightened his waist, lifted his right foot, turned the front outer edge of his left foot to the rear inner edge, and slid out a wavy arc continuously. The rear inner edge of his left foot supported his body. The legs are tightened inward in a figure-of-eight shape, the center of gravity of the body moves down, and the left leg bends slightly and uses force to jump up into the sky and start to rotate.

In the blink of an eye, it seemed like losing weight, like being repelled by gravity.Spinning and falling without the slightest pyrotechnics, stepping on the rear outer edge of the right foot and sliding half a meter on the ice, pointing the blade of the left foot in the air, raising both arms, and performing a triple axel on the back and outer point of the ice, Finish off the joint jump.

The fast speed and the beauty of the aerial posture, looking at the current figure skating athletes are simply unique.

Countless spectators inside and outside the arena shook their heads in admiration and thought to themselves, no wonder Wang Yi's technical strength is so respected.

"Quad? Toeloop! The second jump in the second half of the short program! Although the Chinese player did not perform the most difficult Lutz or Philip quadruple jump, it must be admitted that with his ease of lifting the weight, he was able to do two sets of loops in the back and outside the ice. Jumping, he has already won today's short program."

As time passed, the short program belonging to Wang Yi was coming to an end.

In the on-site commentary area, Johnny, a commentator from Canada's CBC TV station, began to comment on Wang Yi's performance in this game.

"Wang's performance is so relaxed, as if this is not a competition but an ordinary training. Compared with him, maybe the Japanese rookie, the new generation of quadruple jump genius in China, has almost caught up with him technically, but I It must be emphasized that this almost, is nothing more than a layman's view."

He said.

"This is a kind of background, the essence honed in countless competitions, which cannot be surpassed by the new generation of geniuses with a few quadruple jumps. And performance! After witnessing Wang's series of grading steps just now, aftertaste of his performance in the whole set After the state shown in the show, I believe that all figure skating fans, no one will doubt that he will get a high score in terms of performance."

"All in all, Wang is like a mountain standing in front of the new generation of athletes. Whoever wants to see the scenery behind the mountain must first climb to a height similar to his."

2 minutes, two and a half minutes.In the comments from CBC commentators, Wang Yi entered the Axel triple axel jump with a big step, and then slid out with a big step.The skates move, the step is accelerated, and after returning to the center of the ice rink, the last technical action of the short program is performed, which is a joint rotation of changing feet.

On the court, he started with a T-shaped swallow.Off the field, ordinary audiences were applauding and cheering. Matsumoto Koichi walked out of the division, and Bai Xuning, who happened to turn around at the same time, met his eyes.

That moment.

The two gifted teenagers turned their heads to look at Wang Yi who had entered the squatting position at the same time.When they looked at each other again, it was self-evident, and the well-known thoughts quietly took root in the hearts of the two of them.

For them, whether it is the desire for monopoly or pure admiration, if they want to get more, they need to do one thing first, defeating the other party.

Enemy?

Competitor?

Come on then!

Anyway, they always have to decide the winner.

If you can gain more during the period of defeating your opponent, why not do it?

As a genius, who is afraid of whom? !

"Yi? WANG."

"From? China!"
