17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎"raincats and dogs"◎

After three and a half weeks, there are two more difficult jumps. Lucy's arrangement is 4Lo (back and outer four weeks) and 4T+3Lo+3T.

These two jumps were difficult for him at his peak, but now he can only reach this level.

On the 4th floor, he can work hard for a full week, but the success rate is very low, and he doesn't dare to practice too much, so he can only give up.

Fortunately, there are only three jumps in the short program, so the difference in technical points will not widen too much.

In the past few years, Lucy has always been considered to perform better in the free skating than in the short program, because the front line of the free skating is longer and players can show more technical difficulty and skating ability.

Even Lucy's super silky skating can make up for his lack of expressiveness, allowing him to have a good score in art, and the short program is relatively poor.

But in this short program, Lu Xi's expressiveness is completely different, making people want to ask him if he has taken some acting training courses.

The duration of two and a half minutes is exactly the same as the length of "One Step Away". The whole piece is completely embedded in the arrangement, and the emotional changes are quite compact. Lucy himself seems to revisit the past 16 years following the melody, especially the recent Three years, reached the peak and then fell to the trough.

The timbre of the violin is clear and melodious, but it is crying because of the melody.

The kind of weeping and complaining is not swallowing, but because it is chasing and burning with all its strength but finally missed the beloved one step away, it has a kind of beauty like BE aesthetics.

Lucy's figure on the ice was exceptionally deserted. A certain shot showed him a close-up, and his eyes were shining brightly, even with tears in his eyes.

Lu Xi's second jumping arrangement is 4Lo, the first quadruple jump he has mastered since entering the adult group. The take-off method is exactly the same as that of Deng Chang. There is a small setback in the hand, and the body rotates slightly to the left and then to the right, pressing deep , take off.

The 20-year-old is the peak period of men's singles players, but I have to admit that the height of Lu Xi, a 4Lo, is not as good as when he was 18 years old. Injuries stubbornly entangled him in their own way.

But what I also have to admit is that this is a perfect 4Lo. When the ice fell, Gu Qianqian, who was nervously watching Lu Xi from the sidelines, burst into tears, and Huang Bin immediately handed her the handkerchief.

Gu Qianqian wiped her tears while looking at her baby on the field.

Two single jumps are followed by short steps of footwork.

The so-called "one step away" must be pursued wholeheartedly, even once at your fingertips, feeling the sense of accomplishment, the ecstasy, only one hand away from picking the golden olive branch, and falling into it from the high steps. Only when you are at the bottom of the valley can you feel the great loss that follows.

The injury forced Lucy to start practicing the 20-year-old movements again at the age of 16, but he still forcibly turned this pain into his own wealth.Just like now, the audience on the field more or less knows his experience, and also understands the meaning of the name of the song "One Step Away" to him, which will make the audience and referees understand his program better than other contestants.

Lucy lowered his back when he was gliding in a big shape, and maintained his balance with the help of high sliding speed, but this movement still felt fragile. The arm muscles wrapped by the sleeves are very strong, which are the unique physical characteristics of athletes.

Then there is the high-speed combined footwork, which is Lucy's strength, and it is also the technical movement he picked up the fastest. He has a set of level 4 footwork that only he can choose to do. He has not competed in these years. This set of footwork No one is on.

Enter the third jump, the most difficult 4+3+3.

During the skid phase, almost everyone on the national team stood up and looked at Lu Xi, so nervous that they couldn't breathe.

The foot injury not only affects explosive power but also affects Lucy's physical strength. This 4+3+3 jump sequence arrangement in the second half is actually very, very risky. Press down on your body, touch the ice, and take off.

Fall on the ice, take off.

Drop the ice, touch the ice again, and take off.

Falling ice.

Sliding out perfectly and smoothly, the camera cut to a close-up shot at the moment of landing, so everyone saw Lucy's little expression. He was in an extremely tense state with slightly puffed cheeks, and he didn't let out a breath until he successfully landed on the ice.

In the past, Lucy would never be nervous about such a difficult movement, but no matter how nervous he was, Lucy completed this movement perfectly.

Gu Qianqian burst into tears, not knowing whether she was more distressed or more pleased, Huang Bin hugged her shoulder and comforted her softly, and began to wipe away tears as he comforted her.

Deng Chang told himself don't cry, don't cry, or the whole army will be wiped out, so he kept a stern face in front of the camera.

It was the last joint spin on the ice. For the first time, Lucy added the bow spin to his own spin. This is a movement in which he leans back and raises his hands high like flowers, and gradually gathers them in front of his chest as he spins.

Female players do this move more, because the waist of male players is generally not so soft, and this action is usually followed by Bellman rotation, which is basically an action that only female players can do.

Lucy added this movement because he felt that only this movement could express his mood, the feeling of reaching out to grab something and put it in his heart.

With the last violin fading out, Lucy's performance ended.

For the last movement, I chose the ending movement that is very common in figure skating, raising my face and looking up at the sky.The close-up of the camera is on his face, the diamonds at the end of his eyes are like sea blue teardrops, sparkling under the light.

For Lu Xi himself, for Deng Chang, for Huang Bin and Gu Qianqian who are watching him while wiping tears from the sidelines, and for Chen Qi, this "One Step Away" is not just a short program.

For the audience, PorUnaCabeza will be their most impressive performance in the Four Continents Competition.

-

Lucy stood up straight, a little bit like crying, a little excited, he sank into that emotion a little bit and didn't come out, but told himself that he had to thank the audience quickly, the performance exceeded expectations, he was still very happy.Seeing the plush toys falling down like heavy rain from his perspective reminded him of an English saying, "raincatsanddogs", which means heavy rain, and Lucy always thought it was a strange metaphor.

Then Lucy looked at the dolls of cats, dogs, and bears flying down from the sky, and thought, now he understands.

Thanks, and off.

Lu Xi had already expected that he would see Chen Qi and Deng Chang who pretended not to be excited but were actually so excited that they exploded. Chang, Chen Qi, Cui Xiao and the others joined the hugging army without hesitation. If the staff behind them didn't urge them to equalize, I feel that this celebration can last for a long time.

Lu Xi got out of the heavy embrace of Huang Bin, Gu Qianqian, Cui Xiao, Deng Chang, and Chen Qi. When walking towards the waiting area, he sniffed and said in a very casual tone: "Don't cry so fast, why don't you all be excited next year? Die."
