Figure skating went to the Republic of China to write novels

Ever since he knew that Zhang Sushang also liked skating, Wu Yeming often invited him to play on the ice, and Zhang Sushang welcomed it very much.

Although speed skating and figure skating are not the same event, in this year, it is really rare to have someone who can train together.

Wu Yeming actually didn't mean to do training, he just wanted to go skating, but when Zhang Sushang took him for a long-distance run, he couldn't refuse when he did squats and push-ups.

Wu Yeming was finally relieved when the weather turned warm and the ice surface was not so thick, making it unsuitable to continue training.

It was also at this time that the Winter Sports Week held in Chamonix, France in 1924 was officially recognized by the Olympic Committee as the first Winter Olympics.

In fact, winter sports have been included in the Olympic Games for many years, but due to the weather, ice and snow sports have to be brought forward to April, and then summer sports will be held in August, so in order to save costs and time, it will be a matter of time before they are separated .

In this era, all the countries that applied to host the Olympic Games actually applied for both the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics, and then held the Winter Olympics in April and the Summer Olympics in August. It was not until 4 that people combined the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics Since then, the Winter Olympics and Summer Olympics have been held in rotation at two-year intervals.

For example, Misha Platov, who Zhang Sushang met, is the brother of Ivan A. He was the Olympic runner-up in 1924. He was also the runner-up of the men's singles figure skating in the first Winter Olympics, which is of historical significance. .

Then came the World Championships. Misha Platov went to Berlin to participate in this competition and ended up with a bronze medal. After the competition, someone brought the video of the game to St. Petersburg, and the theater will play the video of the game. Ivan A's family owns a tavern, and at the moment, he also pulled a white cloth in a spacious place, and invited someone to come and screen the game.

It is still the era of silent films, and the first sound film "The Jazz Singer" will not be released until October next year. In order to let everyone understand that figure skating programs must be accompanied by music, the tavern invited a band to come over and play tunes beside the curtain.

Zhang Sushang, as a classmate of Ivan A, was invited to come together with Daniel and Jiang Jinghu, sitting in the corner of the tavern, listening to the band from Mozartla to Beethoven.

Their performance was not bad, Daniel closed his eyes slightly, and tapped the rhythm with his fingers on the table.

At this moment, Misha sat beside them: "Qiuka, have you been skating recently?"

Zhang Sushang was taking a nap with his wine glass in his hand, but when he saw the protagonist coming, he sat up slightly: "The ice on the lake is already very thin. For the sake of safety, I haven't slipped recently."

Misha showed a regretful expression when he heard the words: "Is that so? Indeed, the venues for ice and snow sports are too restricted."

Although there is an indoor artificial ice rink now, it is expensive and has not been popularized. As a national athlete, Misha can often go in for training, and the rest are incomparable.

Daniel knew how to skate, and he said beside him, "Congratulations on your bronze medal at the World Championships, Mr. Platov."

Misha smiled wryly: "I can only win the bronze medal."

His expression didn't seem very happy. Daniel paused, not knowing what to say. Zhang Sushang glanced at the curtain where the champion performance was playing, and commented: "You did your best, but the enemy is too strong. The strength of the champion and the runner-up have surpassed you by more than a little, and it is very good that you can win the bronze medal."

Misha: ...

Everyone's expressions became subtle, and Zhang Sushang felt that he was telling the truth.

This year's runner-up, Gillis, is a genius. He is known as the best player ever to complete the required graphics. He is also the first athlete to complete the 2F double double jump and create a jump, squat and spin movement. He is serious. The figure skating ancient god beast boss.

When this person participated in the Olympics for the first time, his skates broke, so he had to temporarily buy a pair of second-hand old skates to make do with it. However, he still won the Olympic gold medal for 20 years, and then he won the gold medal for the 24 Winter Olympics.

In addition, he has also achieved outstanding results as a coach. The most powerful student is the only three-time Olympic champion in women's singles skating—Sonia Heine.

However, it was not Gillis who won the gold medal at the World Championships this time, but his old enemy—Austrian, Willie Bock, Willie Bock's prescribed graphics were not as good as Gillis's, and I missed the Olympic gold medal because of this, but He is also famous in the field of figure skating in later generations.

Willie Bock has a record of four consecutive World Championships.

Russia, which has undergone a great transformation for less than 10 years, is still developing in all aspects, including the field of sports, and Misha's bronze medal is enough to make his ice fans feel proud of him.

In Zhang Sushang's view, his various attributes are not at the level of a champion, and he can't hold back because of his good overall quality, coupled with his stable performance, he is also a very competitive player.

At this time, Misha’s program began to play on the curtain. He slid “The Nutcracker” at the World Championships. Zhang Sushang commented: “And your performance is better than theirs. Tchaikovsky’s music is his legacy. Great wealth of Russia, I think your Nutcracker is more artistic than both Gillis and Willie."

He suggested: "If you still want to go further, you might as well try to do professional ballet training, and then add ballet elements to it when programming."

Daniel coughed when he heard this: "Qiuka, figure skating is figure skating, ballet is ballet, they are different, how can they be mixed together?"

Zhang Sushang wondered: "Why can't they be mixed together? Figure skating is not only a competitive sport, but also has a performance nature. Adding more artistic elements will improve viewing and program quality."

Daniel: "I can't tell you. You are Chinese. You haven't seen many sports games. You don't understand how serious competitive sports are."

Zhang Sushang was stunned: "The seriousness of competitive sports is not used in this place, is it? Also, if you want to discriminate against my nationality, we can no longer be friends. This is the bottom line!"

At the end, Zhang Sushang's face turned cold. It was the first time Daniel saw Zhang Sushang showing such a captivating expression, and an inexplicable fear surged in his heart, and he immediately apologized: "Sorry, I didn't mean that, you are sorry Excellent, but I feel that in your original environment, there are many things that you have never been exposed to..."

Zhang Sushang was even more depressed when he heard this. As a child born in a prosperous age, when he went abroad to watch and participate in competitions, the people around him treated him very well. If they were friendly, they would ask him to buy Ma Yinglong hemorrhoid ointment or Chuanbei loquat Therefore, even though he knew that his motherland was bullied a lot when he was poor and weak, he did not experience it personally until today.

People despise them either intentionally or unconsciously, but it hurts more than intentional.

Misha fell into deep thought after hearing Zhang Sushang's words. He likes Tchaikovsky's music, otherwise he would not use the other party's music to make up programs. If ballet elements are really incorporated into the program, maybe It is also a way...

Before the ice melted, he wanted to train for a while. With this in mind, Misha got up and left the tavern. There was a lake near his house. Since he was a child, every year when the lake was frozen, he would go skating on it.

There is no athlete in this world who doesn't want to win the championship. As long as there is a chance to surpass Gillies and Willie, Misha doesn't want to give up.

"I bought your drink today, just drink it." After saying this, Misha got up and left.

He couldn't wait to try what Zhang Sushang told him. Misha found the skates and hurried to the lake there.

As a native of St. Petersburg from a wealthy family, he went to the Kirov Theater to watch ballet every year, and even saw Nijinsky's dance with his own eyes when he was young!

What do male ballerinas do?

Of course there is rotation, in addition to rotation, there is also a big jump. Nijinsky has a legendary ability to stay in the air. He once said a classic sentence when someone asked him the secret of dancing.

"You just jump on it and stay for a while, it's not difficult."

Perhaps for the god of dancing, this is really not difficult. Misha tried to dance on the thin ice, and made the three hands in ballet, that is, raising his hands high, but he consciously moved his body. His beauty is not as good as that of Nijinsky.

He has no background in ballet, and the only dance he knows is the ballroom dance he learned in college.

Misha sighed a little disappointed: "It still doesn't work."

Maybe after the ice melts and the lake can no longer be used for training, he can sign up for a dance class, but he is 24 years old, is it too late to learn dance now?

At this moment, someone shouted to him: "Be careful!"

Misha looked at the person who came by in confusion, and then his feet were empty.

Zhang Sushang crawled on all fours on the ice, pulled his limbs, and rushed over like a penguin gliding on the ice. There was only a hole left where Misha was standing, and Zhang Sushang stretched out his hand into the hole. After touching it, he grabbed a corner of the clothes dangerously and dangerously, and began to pull it up.

Misha's eyes were still open when he sank into the icy lake. He watched the sky get farther and farther away from him, and then a hand reached out and grabbed his collar, and he started to rise.

It wasn't until he was pulled to the surface of the lake and then to the shore that Misha came back to his senses. He spat out a few mouthfuls of water and gasped in horror.

Sitting next to him, Zhang Sushang took the overcoat that Alexei handed over and put it on, feeling a bit of fear: "Brother, if my roommate hadn't told me that there is an ice lake here, let me come over to see if I can skate, it just so happened Seeing how you fell, you will be cold today."

Alexei squatted beside him and said slowly, "Qiuka, this lake is not safe. It seems that you can't practice anymore."

Zhang Sushang thought it didn't matter, at worst, he would do land training. He knelt beside Misha and patted him on the back: "Are you okay?"

Misha lowered his head and asked softly, "Hey, if I don't learn ballet well, will I never be able to surpass Gillies and Willie?"

After hearing this, Zhang Sushang simply replied: "If you want to go further, all you have to do is to strengthen your skills or improve your performance, which has little to do with whether you practice ballet or not."

His dancing skills are so good, wouldn't he have to bow down when he meets an opponent who can dance quadruples in a competition?

Misha bowed her head in pain: "But I have a bone fracture, I can't surpass Willy in jumping, and the prescribed figure is not as good as Gillis."

Zhang Sushang, who had a broken bone but still dared to continue to attack the quadruple jump: "... Supplement more calcium, brother, do more land training, you can do it."

After sending back the athlete who had never been able to win the championship and who was obviously under great psychological pressure, Zhang Sushang returned home with Alexei dripping wet, trembling with the night wind.

Alexei thoughtfully stepped forward to shield him from the wind, and sighed: "I never knew before that athletes have to bear such a lot of pressure for a victory."

Zhang Sushang sneezed in the cold wind, looked up at the stars all over the sky, and replied: "Because he wants to bring honor to the motherland."

For a newly born country, a championship title is not only a personal glory, but also brings more confidence to compatriots.

And for the motherland that is still suffering, do they also urgently need a medal?

Thinking of Daniel's performance during the day, Zhang Sushang thought, maybe in this era, everyone thinks that no one in China can participate in world-class sports events, and no one understands competitive sports.

He sighed deeply.

Or he should mention the training intensity again.

A thought came to Zhang Sushang's mind, but what he didn't expect was that Misha knocked on his door the next day and asked with a serious face: "Please tell me, what is the land training you mentioned last night?" use."
