see the opportunity

Since everyone's competitions are divided into different venues, the time slots are different. For example, Shi Qi, her pushing hands competition was arranged in the evening, but there was no boxing and sword competition today, so she took Tao Ye to wander between various venues, and at the end of the day, The gold, silver and copper have their own bills, so in addition to watching the game, they have to send someone to hold Shi Sanhe's team leader card to wait for the medals and certificates to come out.

The organizing committee has an awards office in the second-floor corridor of the main stadium of the sports center. However, due to the large number of participants, it is impossible to award awards one by one. At that time, only some representatives will be selected to be awarded by the city leaders outside the venue. Others usually The next step is to receive the badge by myself and go to the awarding place to take pictures.So there was a spectacular scene of queuing up to take pictures as souvenirs. Besides, there were also people who borrowed gold medals to take photos, and those who joined other teams to take photos. It was really lively.

In the evening, everyone went to the second floor of the six venues to watch Shi Qi's game.

Push hands competitions are basically dominated by men. Although female push hands are set up in every competition, there are often not enough numbers for a level.And this time there are quite a few female push hands signups, Shi Qi and the others have eight people in the 56 kg class.

Due to the large number of pushing hands, the competition system finally decided to use the "single elimination system".The cruelty of this elimination system is self-evident. As long as you lose a game, you will definitely miss the gold medal, so the competition will be very fierce. Athletes must go all out in every game, so there are no meaningless games.In addition, the probability of accidents such as sudden cold and dark horses will be greatly increased.

Tao Ye followed the crowd into the arena.There are tall stands on both sides of this venue, and the seats can accommodate four to five hundred people.Since there are not only women's competitions in the evening, there are basically male athletes who are watching the competition in the stadium, and the stands are almost full. They came late, so they had to squeeze into the seats by the stadium door.

Tao Ye couldn't sit still. She stood at the bottom of the stands, and through the iron bars, she saw a square ring with a height of half a meter and a width of five or six meters in the center of the arena.There is a big blue circle in the middle of the arena, where the pushing hands competition takes place.The area around the arena was surrounded by sponge mats. After listening to Tao Ye, Scattered He explained to everyone that they were used to prevent those who fell out from being injured.

Hearing this, Tao Ye became even more uneasy, Shi Qi had already gone to the inspection, she looked relaxed, but she didn't know that everyone's hearts were for her.

After all, the pushing hands competition is no different than other competitions, which is mainly based on demonstrations. Once there is physical contact, there will be collisions, and injuries will inevitably occur. I heard that the men's pushing hands competition during the day was also extremely fierce today. Some people even tore their clothes off by their opponents... …

When Tao Ye was waiting, she felt darkness around her. She turned her head and saw the boy named He Tong standing beside Shi Sanhe.

"You also have a game tonight?" Shi Sanhe glanced at him.

"No, I saw that Shi Qi had a game tonight, so I came to cheer her on." He Tong smiled and put his hands on the iron bars.

Shi Sanhe didn't speak any more, just looked him up and down a few times, and smiled slightly.

Tao Yeyuan wanted to walk away, but she considered that these two people must know more about push hands than others, so she stood there still in case there was something she didn't understand later.

After a while, the game started. The procedure was still the same before the game. The referee entered the field, and the athletes entered the field. Sure enough, Shi Qi appeared with a black belt around his waist.

Although Tao Ye could still see a smile on Shi Qi's face when she was separated from her, but now the girl's face is calm.She is wearing a tight short-sleeved shirt with sweatpants underneath.The clothing for the pushing hands competition is not too demanding, but neater clothes will not hinder you.In addition, Shi Qi tied the belt around her waist like a flower, making her look youthful and beautiful, not like an athlete in a competition, but like a catwalk.

After she came in, there were a lot of whistles in the audience. Most of the people sitting there were young people. Originally, pushing hands was not something to look at, but some attractive beauties came in, which finally cheered people up.

After the official start of the game, the referee and the judges jumped onto the ring to salute, and then the red side and the black side with red and black belts entered the field.

Shi Qi was the first group to come on stage. She and her opponent saluted with fists in all directions, then saluted the referee, and finally saluted the opponent under the referee's signal.

Tao Ye saw that Shi Qi's opponent looked much older than her.Push hands competitions are based on body weight rather than age, so this phenomenon occurs.But that woman is much shorter than Shi Qi, and at the same level, her figure is naturally much "horizontal".

Shi Sanhe said to He Tong, "Look at that woman's thighs, they are almost as thick as Shi Qi's."

"Well," He Tong nodded, "It must be a good deal."

They were chatting when the whistle blew and the game started.

There are two rounds in one round of pushing hands, each round lasts 2 minutes, with a 1-minute break in between.In just 5 minutes, it was the time for Tao Ye to fight a set of punches, but the two of them on the court had to decide the winner.

And sometimes victory or defeat is a matter of an instant.

Shi Qi joined hands with his opponent, and according to the push hands routine, he made two rounds in vertical circles on the left and right sides, and then immediately hugged each other.

Tai Chi Push Hands must join hands first to compete, and in the competition, only "pushing, stroking, squeezing, pressing, picking, pushing, elbowing, leaning" and other martial arts methods can be used, so as to make the opponent lose his body center of gravity and balance. Shifting the position and causing it to fall to the ground or knock down reflects the release effect of "failed introduction" and "flash bombing" 1.While the rules and outcomes make it look like a wrestling match, it's actually quite different.

Therefore, Tai Chi Push Hands competitions will be very boring if they are not viewed by insiders, because it is less interesting to watch than boxing, Sanda and other competitions including some foreign boxing competitions.The rigidity of Tai Chi is contained in the most yin and softness, such as a wall that is difficult to penetrate with a straight nail, but a spiral nail can always penetrate.So at first glance, the match looked as if the two were always entangled and inseparable.

All in all, pushing hands is more about skill than force.

But when everyone was not mentally prepared, there was a small climax on the court.

Shi Qi's opponent probably looked at Shi Qi's slender stature. Although he was tall, it was inevitable that his chassis would be unstable. As soon as he came up to hug her, he pressed Shi Qi to force her to lower her body and then leaned on her shoulders. Her head was as strong as heavy iron, He didn't relax his head and feet, he tried to hook Shi Qi with his forward steps.

If he succeeds this time, Shi Qi will definitely fall on his back.

Unfortunately, the ending didn't go as she wished.

The so-called "listening strength" means walking with the strength of the opponent, Shi Qi has already vaguely seen the door.

Just as her shoulders sank, Shi Qi had already retreated. The opponent's horse gait was undoubtedly steady. She hadn't practiced it in vain for so many years. Her waist and hips suddenly sank and twisted, and the hands pressed by the opponent were wrapped in silk. On the other hand, she followed the momentum of her "leaning" over and made a "big stroke".At this time, the other party's feet were already coming up, Shi Qi just followed suit, twisted his waist and then stopped her with his feet, that person's posture was already top-heavy.

In the end, Shi Qi sent her both hands away, and her opponent flew out of the circle, lying on the ground very indecently.

A round of 2 minutes seems very short, but a round of fighting is only a few seconds. Although Tai Chi is slow, Push Hands also has the potential to kill.

Most of the audience has not yet entered the state of watching the game. The two people on this stage split as soon as they joined together, and the heights were immediately visible. The entire field was static for a few seconds, and then there was thunderous applause and applause one after another.

The rules of pushing hands are clear, but the competition after the real stage is not followed step by step, especially in the men's competition, there are many things that the onlookers can't see clearly.But the confrontation between these two people just now is basically as standardized as a textbook, and it is simply perfect.But this is not a show of pushing hands. If you want to do this in a hand-to-hand fight, everyone can see that the young and beautiful girl has real skills in her hands. With timing and skill, you can naturally "fail the introduction".

He Tong suddenly praised: "Shi Qi's waist is really nice."

Shi Sanhe gave him a strange look, and he hurriedly explained: "I mean, her waist is stretched well." Then he couldn't bear to see the woman in the ring in distress, and muttered in a low voice: "And she It's also quite ruthless."

Shi Sanhe patted him on the shoulder: "My daughter is very strong."

"Did uncle say I'm strong?" He Tong asked with a smile.

Of course He Tong is strong. Shi Sanhe had already watched one of his matches in the morning, and admired this young man very much. He smiled and said, "Then you want to compete with my daughter who is stronger?"

"Then how could it be?" He Tong also laughed, "Shi Qi is a girl after all, if she is a man, she has to let her go."

Tao Ye is now doing two things at once.Listening to the conversation behind her, her heart gradually sank, but the Shi Qi in front of her was shining again in front of her. She was forced to stand in the boundary between Yin and Yang, suffering in every possible way.

When she saw the woman fall off the stage, Shi Qi immediately went over to help her up, and when she returned to the circle, she clasped her hands together as an apologetic gesture.At this time, the referee also gestured, and Black got three points.

There was no suspense in the next match. The opponent seemed to be frightened by Shi Qi, and his momentum seemed to weaken.Her bottom plate was indeed very stable, and it was not so easy for Shi Qi to throw her out of the circle later on, so he could only start to gain one or two points step by step.But obviously the opponent got anxious in the second round because he didn't score a point in the first round. Shi Qi took advantage of the opponent's mentality and lured her to make several shots, all of which succeeded in scoring.

The last gong sounded and the two innings were over.The referee held the hands of the two, faced the referee seat and waited for the ruling, and finally raised Shi Qi's hand...

After Shi Qi left the venue, he was just about to find a team to join, but was stopped by a group of people.These are still some international friends, all wearing shiny Tai Chi suits, their faces full of excitement.Shi Qi was stopped for no reason, but one of the blond men asked her in fluent Mandarin, "Can I take a photo with you?"

Fans appear after playing a game?Shi Qi, in order to reflect the tolerance of my great country, has a good temper and allows them to ask for a group photo to pose for a photo.At this moment, Shi Sanhe came over, he came out after seeing Shi Qi for a long time, and saw his daughter surrounded by a group of foreigners at a glance.

When Shi Qizheng was asked where she learned to push hands, she saw her father, so she pointed at him. Shi Sanhe began to dig out his pockets, took out a stack of business cards and began to distribute—since it is called an international exchange competition, it must be Communicate with international friends.

Shi Qi took the opportunity to slip away to find the team.

When she reached the side of the stands, He Tong stopped her.The second set of matches had already started in the ring, and He Tong began to analyze with her the opponents she might encounter in the next match.And after the first round of their level was over, the male pushing hands started again, so Shi Qi continued to watch.

Due to time constraints, everyone was going back to the hotel. Shi Qi turned around and waved to them, saying that he would go back with He Tong later, and that she wanted to finish watching all the pushing hands competitions tonight.
