17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎Boundless future is written on the face. ◎

After Liu Xinyu left, Chen Qi sat there muttering like an old repeater.

"Old Li, Old Li...Li Wenxuan, Li Wenxuan...Li..."

He suddenly slapped the table, opened his eyes wide, and said loudly: "Zhu Qianyu! Yes! Zhu Qianyu!"

Lu Xi and Deng Chang looked at Chen Qi with four big eyes, which were filled with question marks.

"I xx suddenly have a clue." Chen Qi supported the table with his hands, and Lu Xi was shocked to see the veins on the back of his hands, coupled with this series of swearing that he didn't usually see, it showed how excited Chen Qi was, " xx, this matter is deep. I xx, I knew..."

Chen Qi muttered a series of things that Lu Xi and Deng Chang couldn't understand, and finally remembered that the two younger ones were still watching, and said kindly: "You guys go to land training first, I'll do something If you have any questions, consult with the teaching assistant."

He looked like he had a clue, Lu Xi and Deng Chang nodded obediently.Chen Qi turned around and took a few steps, then turned back suddenly, frowned and looked at Lu Xi's neck: "What's the matter with you? Be careful not to bump and bump."

In front of Lu Xi was the mirror of the dance classroom. Following Chen Qi's words, he glanced into the mirror, and his face froze for a moment.

At the junction of his neck and collar, there was a red mark looming.

Lucy's skin is very fair, and he wears black training clothes for training. The contrast is clear, making him look even whiter.Under such a clear contrast of black and white, the dark red kiss/mark that was mostly hidden under the collar was extremely clear.

Lucy:"……"

He could even recall how Deng Chang kissed here yesterday.

Hearing what Chen Qi said, Deng Chang thought that Lu Xi was really injured, and immediately looked over with concern, seeing the marks on Lu Xi's neck, his face froze.

Fortunately, Chen Qi didn't think much about it, probably his mind was full of that "Zhu Qianyu" just now, he waved his hand and told Lu Xi to be careful, and rushed out the door like the wind.

Lu Xi covered his collar with straight eyes before asking Deng Chang, "What did the coach say?"

-

Although Chen Qi didn't tell them clearly, he knew the name of the person, even if he just inquired about it in his free time, after two or three days, the gossip would naturally be pieced together.

Of course, Lu Xi wouldn't do things like piece together gossip. It was the break between jumping training and footwork training. Lu Xi didn't go off the ice. Deng Chang slid towards him after drinking two sips of water. Leaning his back against the wall of the ice rink, with his hands on the edge of the wall, Deng Chang stopped beside him and leaned against the wall.

"I'll tell you a story." Deng Chang said.

The surveillance on the ice rink can only record video without sound, and it is also very blurry, so I am not afraid of being discovered.

Lucy nodded: "OK."

Deng Chang leaned against him, his fingers could touch Deng Chang's back, Lu Xi happily tapped Deng Chang lightly, a small movement, even if someone saw it, he would not feel anything, but it showed that they and others People are different.

"Mr. Li, do you know?" Deng Chang asked.

Lu Xi nodded: "Old coach Li Yuanzhao. The veteran of the figure skating team and the first head coach. He retired a few years ago."

Deng Chang said, "Yes. Do you know who his closed disciple is?"

Lucy didn't know.

"It's Qin Shu and Hu Muyu." Deng Chang said.

"It's the two of them!" Lucy's eyes widened in surprise.

Deng Chang nodded.

Qin Shu/Hu Muyu are two names that will definitely remain in the history of national figure skating.

They are a pair of pair skating team, they have created countless history for the national team, world champion, grand prix champion, winter Olympic gold medal...they have won all the awards that figure skaters can get, and they are the first pair in history Players who make quadruple toss jumps.

And the two of them are still active, and they are still the main force of the national team's pair skating event.

It was Bao Zhongjie's pair of ace players.

"Wait." Lu Xi poked Deng Chang's back, "Qin Shu and Hu Muyu, aren't they Bao Zhongjie's apprentices?"

"It's Mr. Li's apprentice." Deng Chang said, "I went to check with Brother Hu specifically."

Qin Shu and Hu Muyu are already 28 or 30 years old. As veterans, they are still active in the first line of the World Championship. There is a big age gap between them and Lu Xi, and because they have always been seniors, solo and duo are not together. Training, they have basically not spoken before.

It was only after Deng Chang went to ask this time that he found out that Qin Shu and Hu Muyu have been training in the first body since they were young, and they are out-and-out locals.

It stands to reason that the winter training children's group is stronger in the three northeastern provinces. Qin Shu and Hu Muyu were not very good as single players, but Li Yuanzhao, then the head coach of the national team, discovered their talent in pair skating early on.

Li Yuanzhao let Qin Shu and Hu Muyu get to know each other and train together very early—the purpose is to cultivate their rhythm together, and let them form a pair skating at the age of 11.

Before that, the national team had always been the strongest in men's singles, followed by women's singles, and the weakest in pairs—and the strongest men's singles was just the tallest of the short.

Li Yuanzhao loved Qin Shu and Hu Muyu very much. At that time, the development of figure skating in China was still very average, especially for pairs, and he had no experience in choreography. Dance, everything is to cultivate their tacit understanding.

So Li Yuanzhao was the coach of Qin Shu and Hu Muyu before they were promoted to the group.

But after the two of them entered the national team, the coach has always been Bao Zhongjie.

"Why did they follow Bao Zhongjie later?" Lu Xi asked, "In this way, they should follow Mr. Li."

"Because when they were promoted to the national team, Mr. Li retired to the second line." Deng Chang replied.

"Ah, what a pity." Lucy said, "If Mr. Li persists for a few more years, maybe the first pair of Olympic gold medalists will be his apprentices."

Coach Li Yuanzhao completed the initial establishment of the national team figure skating. He worked from his 20s to his 50s. Although he was not Chen Qi’s mentor, he made several major decisions about Chen Qi, such as sending him to foreign training, for him. A very suitable coach was chosen, and Li Yuanzhao made the decision alone. It can be said that he is a very decisive ace coach.

Including Qin Shu and Hu Muyu, Li Lao also showed this courage.

At the beginning, Qin Shu had a keen eye and devoted himself to them regardless of return. Qin Shu had a very bad temper when he was very young, and fought with Hu Muyu every day. Others persuaded Li Yuanzhao to split up, but Li Yuanzhao took the two of them to play together every day to mediate the relationship, and finally Turned them from rivals to best friends.

In the interviews in recent years, Qin Shu said countless times, "Mu Yu is the person who hits me the most in this world."

Qin Shu and Hu Muyu's good youth foundation allowed them to enter the adult group smoothly with almost no ups and downs. It took only two years to grow into the world's top group, and then won the world championship and the Olympic gold medal at the age of 22. In the previous session, Qin Shuyou was injured and only finished fourth, and they plan to continue to compete in the 22 session.

If Mr. Li hadn't retired the year Qin Shu and Hu Muyu were promoted to the team, the honor of bringing the first pair of Winter Olympic gold medalists would undoubtedly belong to him.

But now everyone knows that Qin Shu/Hu Muyu's mentor is Bao Zhongjie.

Bao Zhongjie is a meritorious coach of the national team.

This is of course regrettable.Lu Xi tapped Deng Chang's back lightly, thinking regretfully.

Someone grabbed his finger suddenly, and Deng Chang turned his head to look at him: "That's the problem."

Lu Xi looked at Deng Chang puzzled.

"Qin Shu and Hu Muyu had already won the World Youth Championship that year, and they had a bright future written all over their faces. Figure skating coaches are not like athletes who are in poor condition and have to retire if they fail."

Deng Chang's voice was very low, but his tone was very cautious.

"Then tell me, why did Mr. Li choose to retreat to the second line when he knew that his meritorious service was only one step away from him?"
