There is no doubt that this is a new move.

Of course, it is not uncommon. In dance and martial arts, such "flying swallow technique" is the most common, but so far no one has been able to apply it to skiing.

How can this be?

It’s okay to jump up, but can it stay in mid-air?Doesn't it land?Is it the same if it falls on a flat, force-bearing ground and falls on a smooth snow field with an inclination angle of about 25°?

To complete the "Flying Swallow" on the snow is more than twice as difficult as on the flat ground. There are too many details that need to be paid attention to, especially the flexibility and balance. When the requirements are met, even professionals find it tricky and impossible Degree.

That's why the referees are surprised and even forget about their refereeing job.

too crazy!

How did he do that?

Yu Le still had the last jump to complete, but the referees didn't seem to want to watch his game at this time. They looked at each other, and their eyes were full of surprise at the appearance of a new move.

And said: "Oh, my God, this action is so beautiful."

"It's simply art."

"I like it very much, very much."

"How could he do it?"

But some people replied: "I have seen this action before, and Yu Le also did the same action when he was Li Zhi."

The referee nodded: "Mark said that Yu Le performed well in that competition, but what surprised him the most was an original movement, for which Lawn paid a lot of money to buy it and put it on the gate of his ski resort. "

"Lauen, oh, that ski owner, his sense of smell is always so keen, Yu Le is indeed a valuable athlete."

The referees were all talking. At this time, Yu Le had already jumped off the last platform. What he did on the last platform was standard. He was good at three somersaults and half a turn.

The difficulty of 1260 is not too high, and it is his relatively stable skill at present, but he is a little frustrated. It is a pity that he has not been able to try a higher difficulty, because he did make a mistake when he landed the "Flying Swallow". He has never landed smoothly once, because this action is a "semi-finished product".The mistake of landing caused his speed to come to a sudden stop, and his speed slowed down significantly, so the difficulty of the last jump had to be reduced.

Yu Le calculated the score in his mind, celebrated briefly with the team members, and then stood still in front of the TV screen, waiting for his score.

Half a minute passed, and the overall ranking was still displayed on the screen.Yu Le's eyes could only scan the overall ranking repeatedly.

No.1 Yu Le (Hua Guo)

First jump: 96.50 points.

No.2 Jacques Cooper (Canada)

First hop: 93.00

No.3 Bai Yiming (Hua Guo)

First hop: 88.00

No.4 Park Jin (Smecta)

First hop: 84.00

No.5 Zhou Xiaoyang (Hua Guo)

First hop: 82.00

No. 6...

From the beginning to the end, and then from the end to the beginning, 1 minute passed, and the screen still did not change.

Cheng Wenhai half leaned out of the guardrail, and shouted to Yu Le: "Leer! Leer! Why haven't the points come out yet?"

Yu Le had no choice but to turn his head: "Yes, it's been a long time, hasn't it?"

"It's only 1 minute. If you talk about your competition, you should play hard and give those old men a hard time. Doing such a new move will make people difficult?"

What a mouth!

Yu Le looked around nervously, then glared at Cheng Wenhai, dared to call the referee "old man", you don't want to hang out in the ski circle, do you?

Cheng Wenhai grinned: "Don't worry, those who don't understand Chinese, besides, the old man is an elder, it's also a respectful title."

Yu Le didn't want to continue talking about this topic with him, so he changed his mind and said, "It shouldn't happen. The referee also has a set point value for new moves, so there won't be too long a delay."

Here, the excited referee was finally "reined in" by the referee.

"Cough! Okay, everyone be quiet, we should continue our work, he is still waiting for the score, replay it again, and submit the score to me as soon as possible."

The young referee raised his hand: "Sir, Yu Le's new move, how many points do you think should be awarded?"

The referee looked at the opponent to identify the identity of the opponent. This is a South African referee.In the "Intercontinental Cup", not all international referees are sent by the Snow Federation, because at the same time, many places around the world are holding competitions, including some B-level competitions such as the "All Championships" and "National Cup League" in China. Contest.If you want to be recognized by the International Snow Federation, you must have a world referee registered by the International Snow Federation in the presence, and the players' scores and points will be registered.

However, the qualifications of referees in the world are strictly assessed and the number is very limited. Even for the more influential "Intercontinental Cup", the Snow Federation will only arrange some referees to go there, and the rest are registered with the International Snow Federation. National referee.

The young referee who spoke was obviously a local national referee.

The referee had to explain: "Slope obstacle skills encourage innovation, play according to your ideas, don't worry, I'm still here."

The job of the head referee is very important. For every competition declared successfully in the World Snow Federation, the head referee must be a person who is deeply trusted by the Snow Federation and has excellent professional ability.

The referee has the absolute power of one vote to veto.

The young referee nodded, stopped talking, and looked seriously at the TV screen where the replay began.Once again, I saw Yu Le's amazing "Flying Swallow" skill again.

Even though it was the second time I saw it, there was still exclamation in the referee room again, and at the same time, the referees began to record their scores on their scoring devices.

The young referee still didn't know how to score this move. After all, this action failed to land, and there was only one week in the air, and there was no action to touch the board. If the standard scoring procedure was followed, the score of this action must be very low.However, it is an innovative move.

Tilting his head, he looked at the referee sent by the International Snow Federation. He was entering the scorer. The sunlight outside the window behind him was reflected on the screen of the scorer. From his point of view, there was only one Dazzling white, he had no choice but to tilt his body to that side again, the light in front of his eyes finally dissipated like clouds and mist, revealing the concealed score of the other party.

While seeing clearly, his eyes widened a little bit, showing a surprised expression...

Yu Le waited in front of the TV screen for a full three minutes, but the screen in front of him still remained silent.This made him have to turn his head to look at the referee's cabin.

The judge's cabin is on the third floor of the lounge.This building is not big, but it is relatively tall, with a total of four floors.

The first floor is the rest hall. There are rows of lockers in a large area on the left near the wall, and next to it is the service desk for renting snowboards.

The second floor is divided into two parts, and the side near the snow track is the viewing area.The viewing area is not an auditorium, but a simple long seat on the ground, where you can stand by the window and look out with a cup of coffee in your hand.Another area is thus the gourmet area for hot drinks and food.

Going upstairs is the working area, where Yu Le has also been there, mainly because the coaches will be there when they conduct training, and sometimes they will be called up to give lectures, so during the construction of the referee room, Yu Le also went to the referee room. Go around.

At this moment, Yu Le twisted his neck and looked up at the referee room with a confused look on his face.

Is the time a little too long?

Is it 5 minutes now?What can't be negotiated?This referee is obviously not... well, don't even think about it, lest you turn around and say that you slipped up.

The movement of looking up at the referee room is not only done by Yu Le, but also by the players of the Huaguo team, Angel and the others. Even the coaches like Lao Chai are impatient and turn their heads away frequently. .

So when everyone was looking up, they didn't see Chai Ming's sudden uncomfortable expression. His body shook, he took a step back, and stood firm again. The head was withdrawn slowly, pretending to be calm and relieving the sudden dizziness little by little.

Finally, the referee pressed the confirmation button.

As his judgment was established, the data was quickly transmitted to each signal terminal through two methods of wired and wireless signals. Yu Le and others who were closest to him were obviously the first to see the score.

The screen finally changed, and Yu Le's smiling face appeared in front of his eyes.

Yu Le looked at the total score.

94.00 points.

Wow, on the second platform, there was an obvious mistake due to the new movement, can I still get such a high score?

So after looking at the total score, Yu Le's eyes shifted to the score of the second platform in the next moment.

10.00 point?

Wow!The new action actually got a full score.

In other words, among the six referees, at least five gave him 10 points?Is the new move so cheap?Even if he didn't do well, he still gave such a high score?

"Leer! Leer! You have 10 points!" Cheng Wenhai shouted from behind.

"I see." Yu Le replied without turning his head.

"Didn't you not complete that new move? Give this a high score?"

"If you don't finish it next time, it won't be worth much."

"Oh, that's right." Cheng Wenhai was quiet for two seconds, and then said, "Look, the new moves give you full marks for encouragement, and the points deducted for the whole process are not soft at all."

Yu Le has already seen it, he only scored 36 points in the whole process.

Just like what Cheng Wenhai said, they gave him higher individual sub-scores, but the landing mistakes were deducted from the full-course points, which is why Yu Le's scores were so much lower than those in the first round.

So is it worth doing new moves?

Lu Weifang asked Chai Ming this question.

Chai Ming looked at Yu Le in front of the crowd, then looked at the score on the screen, and said, "Use it as a trick, it's fine."

"A strange trick?" Lu Weifang looked puzzled.

Chai Ming said: "I can't use it to hit high scores and win medals, but the overall impression of using it to confuse the referees is good."

Lu Weifang was right when he thought about it, and laughed: "That's right, one of them upstairs counts as one, and they probably all remember us Yu Le firmly. This year's Olympics, if a few of them participate in the Olympic scoring, we will Taking advantage of the boss."

"How many? It's not easy to have one." After a pause, Chai Ming said, "Speaking of which, Xing Shijie is also working hard this year."

"Punishment? What are you trying to do? Oh, to be an Olympic referee? It should be difficult..."

The two of them chatted over there and went to other places. Here, Yu Le got the points and was satisfied. He hugged the skis in his arms and walked into the runner's aisle.

Even if today's competition is over, he doesn't feel anything. When people ask him if he is nervous, he feels that the competition is like no competition. The two competitions are separated by an hour, and the people who are still skating are still full of satisfaction, which is not very satisfying.

He was not like this last year. When he participated in the "Intercontinental Cup" for the first time, he was nervous and excited. Before the game, he pumped himself up hard. While he was so excited, he tried to calm himself down and restrain himself, so that he could play perfectly. .

It's only been a year, and this field can no longer make him nervous.

It can be said that in this game, the only challenge he has to face is Jacques, but after the first round of Jacques' competition, after finding out that Jacques is a player whose competition is not as good as training, Yu Le feels that he seems to be on the leading edge of the championship On the podium, points fell from the sky.

Even if he is working so hard, Jacques is also working very hard in the competition, the final Olympic points coefficient will still be very low, right?

The strength of the players participating in the competition is still too weak, and it is difficult to improve the level of this competition. The overall level of "drag" is difficult for him and Jacques to change no matter how hard they try.

Yu Le went back to the locker room and changed the ski boots without even watching other people's games.

As long as he thinks that in this game, even if he wins the championship, he only has 1 Olympic point, and he wants to laugh.

However, what Yu Le didn't know was that before the preliminaries were over, the referee arranged for his video to be made into a video and uploaded to the World Snow Federation's "player video database".

And put forward a request to include Yu Le's video data folder separately.

The applicant is Job Nix.

There are four vacant positions below, waiting for the signatures of the remaining four referees with the same level, agree,

The "player library" is an incredible place. Every world sports association has such a thing, which contains all available competition videos of the event. Sports such as alpine skiing can even be traced back to more than 200 years ago. Slope obstacles The earliest video of the technique is also 40 years old.

Slope obstacle skills were first born in the United States. In the 80s, a group of young "trend players" invented and developed this sport. It was first played as an entertainment competition in the United States, and then it was introduced to Europe. It was quickly accepted and liked by young people. , until it develops into a regular game.

So this "player library" contains game videos of almost all players from the 80s to the present.

but.

But the subtle difference is that in the player library, in addition to the entire game, there is also a separate folder for the player, and this honor is not available to everyone.

At least for the slope obstacle skills project, only Yu Le in Huaguo has been created a separate folder, Bai Yiming only has his own separate name in the branch of the U-shaped pool, and this usually shows that he is a Good, watchable athlete.

How does the FIS organize learning and assessment for the referees?

Referees at the provincial level are assessed by the state itself. The requirement is to be familiar with the sport in which you preside over refereeing work, and remember each score that should be added or subtracted.

The assessment of national-level referees has become much more flexible. Referees need to have a solid foundation and be able to flexibly respond to various situations of players, and use various factors to determine the points that a player should get.

When they become world-class referees, what they face is the huge data "player database". When they reach their level, they not only have to go to various parts of the world to conduct referee work, but are also required to know and be familiar with all the famous players in the world. The kings of the past, the strong of the present, and the potentials of the future, they are strictly required to study the growth trajectory of each player, understand the loopholes and advantages of his technical movements, and even approach that player, with this player Write a thesis for the blueprint. After all, some international referees are in their own countries and have the status of professors at sports universities.

The world referees who are already very busy, they always have endless videos, and their tastes and vision have basically been cultivated to an almost tricky level.Even though there are so many new athletes joining this project every year, all of them are praised as "genius-like figures" by their own countries, but in the eyes of the world referees who "read countless films", that is the case .

To impress them and make them "heartbeat", if that player didn't get a great result in the Grand Prix, then he did something amazing.

Job Nix was amazed by Yu Le.

Before the competition was completely over, he couldn't help but want to apply for a separate "catalogue" for Yu Le.

But this needs to be signed and approved by five international referees including him, and the sponsor must also be a referee like him who works in the World Snow Federation organization and has a managerial position.

It's so hard.

All the players who know this, they all want to enter there, because it means that starting today, his performance in every game will be displayed in front of the eyes of all world-class referees. s concern.

In other words, being able to enter this "player pool" itself is also a symbol of strength. When the referees score, they will always be subconsciously higher.

In the sports arena, even a difference of 0.01 points may cause an athlete to pass by the champion's podium.

Therefore, a separate "catalogue" is very important, sought after, and very precious.

It is so precious that some countries try their best to please and give gifts, but they still can't get it.

After Job became an FIS official, he submitted two contestants in total. Besides Yu Le, the other one was Jonah Darrow.

It was three years ago that he participated in a "World Cup Competition" held in Austria. In that competition, Jonah was still a rookie, but he became a blockbuster and won the championship in one fell swoop. He couldn't stand the first place. A separate "player pool" was submitted for the first time.

Facts have proved that his vision is right. Just last year, Jonah surpassed Galen Neville and became the "No. [-] in the world".

Today, he submitted a second person, a newcomer who has only been skiing for more than a year, from a country that has never had an outstanding athlete in slopestyle skills.

Probably because of such a short skiing time, he completed such a level of competition, which made Job eager to recommend this young man to his colleagues before he could even wait for him to participate in a bigger competition.

Just like those colleagues who recommended Yu Le to him and mentioned Yu Le.

Now he finally knew why Milo and Mark mentioned Yu Le in front of him.

Hmm... This is really a shining young man. His skiing posture, on the bridge, and in the air are very unique, different from others, and this difference does not make him different. It's strange, but it's even better, like a diamond, shining all the time.

In the next game, Jobe, the referee, seemed a little inattentive and unprofessional.

He sat on the chair with his arms around his chest. Although his eyes would stay on the TV screen most of the time, they would occasionally drop down to glance at the mobile phone he had placed on the table.

He just took the time to send Yu Le's video to the snow federation, freestyle skiing, and slope obstacle skills player Kuli, but the separate directory requires complicated procedures, and he needs four people to create that directory.

A contestant finished the competition, he submitted the score after confirming that it was correct, and then impatiently picked up his mobile phone, but before turning it on, he stabilized it and told himself, what's the rush, how long will it take, when Jonah passed He had to wait for two days, during which time he even called his companions for help before he was qualified to create a directory.

Is it the same this time?

He thought about it, opened the directory of the phone, and took a closer look...

The first person to send the message was his good friend, who also serves as an official referee in the FIS.

When they are not working as referees, they often drink together and go to each other's homes for gatherings. They live very close, even their children are about the same age, and they have a very good relationship.

[System notification: Herman Anderson approved your application to create a catalog and apply to become a supporter of "Yu Le (Hua Guo)", please click to agree or reject. 】

Although it was a bit surprising that the first news came from Herman Anderson, but once he thought about the relationship between the two and the other party's unchanging support for him, Job felt that such a result was normal.

And he also received a second message.

【System notification: John Booker has approved your application to create a catalog, and applied to become a supporter of "Yu Le (Hua Guo)", please click to agree or reject. 】

oh!John! ?

Job did not expect that John would apply. Speaking of John Booker, they are not familiar with him at all. John is a native of the country where the sun never sets. He himself has a job as a professor and a position in the sports association in the country where the sun never sets. , He can't go to the FIS once or twice a year, and if he doesn't have to attend the assessment and meeting, he will reject all training invitations.

But soon, Job remembered why John Booker was here.

Because while he was watching the system messages, two more system notifications were sent to him.

One of them was Mark Hazlitt's application notice.

The first time he got news about Yu Le was when Mark was chatting with him on the Internet. Mark mentioned that he and Old John were invited by the owner of the ski resort in Lawn to score a "Grand Prix", although he did not When it comes to old John's impression of Yu Le, now it seems that it is obviously very good.

Job clicked Unification on the applications of Herman and John in succession, then clicked on Mark's system message, and pressed the Agree button.

At this moment, he really wanted to joke, didn't he agree to go to Huaguo for "fly inspection"?Applying for support without even knowing Yu Le's background is not like what you would do.

Smiling, at this moment on the big screen, the second player had already set off, and Job had to speed up his hand to turn on the last system notification.

This is a notification from Milo Minar.

Job likes to call Milo "instructor", of course "teacher", or "professor" is also acceptable. In the past few years, Milo stopped in different countries every week to give lessons to young freestyle skiers , to convey the latest standards of the International Snow Federation in terms of penalties, and if invited graciously, they will happily participate in the training of the athletes.If other teachers are full of peaches and plums, then he must be full of peaches and plums.

But in this case, supporters are enough.

It only took 15 minutes before and after Job's catalog application was approved, and Yu Le also had a folder with a unique name in the huge "player database".

It was much faster than Jonah's time. How did these people find out and apply for it in the first place?And to be able to "endorse" these referees he respects, what did Yu Le do in the past year?

Then Job remembered what he was doing now, and couldn't help smiling.Well, a good person is good, regardless of whether he is old or new, because when he appears, he shines brightly, and even when he leaves, he is still haunting.

As for the system notifications that came after Job had accumulated enough people and successfully opened the Yu Le Catalogue, he didn't have time to read them.

It's working time.

Xing Shijie expressed his depression.

He got the news, and when he clicked in, the catalog had already been created, and he was not a supporter of Yu Le's catalog creation! ?

Why! ?This is a player from our country. I have watched the "growth", shining boy all the way. I discovered his brilliance earlier than you all, and I have more expectations for him than any of you.

But I'm not a supporter.

Heart congestion.

Well.

want to cry.
