17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎The French standings will determine three places for the final at one go. ◎

Maliciously charging other skaters on the ice is a serious violation of sportsmanship in the figure skating rules, and the maximum penalty will be a lifetime ban.

But the key is to prove "subjective malice".

Subaru Asano collided with players of the same level as Ace. Even if the Japanese team did not need to appeal, the ISU International Skating Federation would investigate the matter with the highest standards. This accident also caused an uproar on the Internet.

Many people think that Ace did it on purpose. Although this person has not been promoted to the group for a long time, his bad temper has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Especially in the short program, he was provocative first and was surpassed by Asano Subaru. Behavior also looks logical.

However, some people also said that if we judge only by subjective reasoning, there will be too many unjust, false and wrongly decided cases in the world. This group of people think that it was a coincidental collision, and Ace was also injured.

This is exactly the result given by the ISU after the initial investigation:

Because there is no conclusive evidence to prove that Nick Ace has subjective malice, this collision can only be classified as an "accident."

Of course, the International Skating Federation can also initiate inquiries to Ace, but Ace took out the injury certificate issued by his team for ligament strains, lacerations, and sprains. The investigators asked him everything and said, "It was not intentional." ", and then he yelled that he had a headache.

Although Ace has been promoted to the adult group, he is still a month away from turning 1. He is still a "minor" in the legal sense. There are various protection regulations for minors, and there is no way to even investigate Keep checking.

Because there are clauses, all inquiries must not affect the physical and mental health of minors, and if necessary, they need to turn to interview their guardians.

In addition, during the season, when Ace complained of a headache, the inquiry had to end. When he asked Ace's coach, the answer was "I don't know."

The result was that until the start of the Russian race half a month later, the whole incident was still classified as an "accident".

A lot of ice fans were outraged, because Subaru Asano has always been very popular, and no matter how you look at it, I feel that Ace did it on purpose. Soon some ice fans who have practiced figure skating came out and said, "Ace's fall is a matter of attention. , it doesn't hurt at all."

The problem is that only Ace can decide whether wrestling hurts or not.

So even if ice fans ridiculed him, some people gave him the nickname "figure hockey player" - because ice hockey is completely different from figure skating, players have to wear full protective gear, and the arena is full of people. Collisions, even fights are allowed under the rules - Ace's life is still very nourishing.

Still, there are quite a few ice fans like him who stood up for him, saying that the ice fans who fought against Subaru Asano were "going crazy."

Fortunately in misfortune, Subaru Asano did not have a fracture. If he did, he would be reimbursed for this season.

But the muscle strain and ligament injury still did not escape, fortunately they were not serious, Lu Xi once wanted to fly the neon to see him, but now he is training in a closed room, even the senior brother Orihara can't see others, and Lu Xi can't just give up.

The sub-stations of the Grand Prix are still in full swing, starting in the order of China Station, Canada Station, Russia Station, America Station, Japan Station, and France Station.

During this period, there are B-level competitions and Four Continents competitions, as well as European Championships, All-Russia, All-Day and other events in other divisions.

Every winter, the players feel that the days go by very quickly, because the schedule is very full, and they are not competing or preparing for the competition.

New Years passed without even having a presence.

Lucy tore up the calendar when she was going out one morning and found out, damn it, it's January 2020, 1!

He shouted in shock: "Brother Deng! It's already 2020!"

There was a sound of jingling in the kitchen, and then Deng Chang rushed out in a puppy-print apron, stunned: "It's 2020?"

The two looked at each other.

"Why did you forget about the New Year?" Deng Chang asked.

"Haven't you forgotten too?" Lucy asked back.

"I'm busy with training." Deng Chang suddenly remembered something, and slapped his hands, "Damn, it seems that they called me to ask me the other day and I forgot, and they didn't call me again."

This means that the questioning of Deng Chang is coming to an end, and he has basically ruled out the suspicion.

Moreover, it is rare to see this expression of "I seem to be an idiot" on Deng Chang, and Lucy was inexplicably poked at the point of laughter.

He laughed and covered his stomach: "I was busy with rehabilitation and helping you watch the replay, and I didn't remember anything else."

-

Not knowing Wei Jin's feeling in the full busyness is not bad, the two faced each other and laughed for a while at their stupid behavior.

The morning light illuminated the hut, creating a path of light on the tiled floor. After a while, Deng Chang walked over and kissed Lu Xi on the forehead: "It's late, but Happy New Year."

Lucy was stunned again, stuttering with red ears: "New, happy new year."

It sounds timid to say it, but Lu Xi, who is usually unfazed by the media without changing his expression or stage fright, will show two forms in front of Deng Chang.

It may be a fierce fried cat, or it may suddenly become shy. I don't know which one it is. It belongs to Schrödinger's Xiaoxi.

Lu Xi himself felt that this was a very lack of confidence and needed to be changed.

But seeing Deng Chang's gentle and active appearance, which he would never show in front of others, his face would become hot involuntarily.

"Refuel at the French station." Lucy whispered again.

"Don't worry." Deng Chang smiled, kissed Lucy's face, and went back to the kitchen to make oatmeal.

Lucy touched her face and stared at the kitchen in a daze for a while, then muttered in a low voice, "Why are you pretending to be an old couple?"

-

I don't know what the old couple is. The last leg of the Grand Prix, the French Grand Prix, really came not long after the New Year.

After Varichenko retired, the favorite players in this year's Grand Prix have undergone a lot of changes.

The first echelon is Orihara Chisato who is currently ranked No. [-] in the world, Geers who is ranked No. [-] in the world, and Deng Chang who will break into the top three after this year without accident.

After five races, Orihara won the double championships of Neon and Goose, Jayers won the American championship and the runner-up of Goose, and Deng Chang won the championship of China. As long as the French station is not abnormal, all three of them can win. Steadily advanced to the finals.

The second echelon is Russia's second seed Kavalenko and Ace.

Before Laowa (Valichenko) retired, Kavalenko basically had no voice, because Laowa's light was too dazzling, and Kavalenko and Laowa's names were so similar that many people even I don’t know there is such a person, but when I mention it, I just feel “Oh, did I remember Lao Wa’s name wrong?”

But this year, Kavalenko seized this opportunity and rushed out, and won the runner-up in the US station, and the difference with Giles was not too big. He will also appear in the French station.

Ace is a new player who has been promoted to the senior group this year, and the Canadian championship let everyone see his strength.

——Although many people think that he won this championship from Subaru Asano, but in terms of points alone, he can indeed be in the second echelon.

The third echelon is Asano Subaru, French player Kadok, and South Korean teenager Kim Byung-kwon.

Subaru Asano should have been in the second or even first echelon, but the injury in Canada seriously affected his state.He even lost to Kim Byung-kwon in the next Japanese race and only finished third.

Kadok and Kim Byung-kwon are on par with each other, but Kim Byung-kwon overwhelmed Kadok in China, and was lucky enough to get two second places in Japan, while Kadok was third and fourth.

The promotion of the Grand Prix depends on the ranking of the sub-races. Orihara has two first places with 30 points, and Jayers has one first and one second with 28 points. They are all steadily advanced.

Kim Byung-kwon scored 26 points in two second places, and he also has a good chance.

The remaining three spots will most likely be between Deng Chang, Kavalenko, Ace and Asano Subaru.

Among them, apart from Subaru Asano who has already finished two rounds and has 23 points in hand, Deng Chang, Kavalenko and Ace will all appear in France. After the first round, their points are 15 (first), respectively. 13 (second) and 15 (first).

The score in France will determine their final points, and none of the three of them can say that they can securely surpass Subaru Asano's total points and enter the final.

In other words, the French station will set three final places in one breath.

This sub-station, which was not very competitive in the preview of the event, suddenly became eye-catching.
