17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎It won't let you win so easily. ◎

Schumann's "Childhood Scenes" suite is a well-known suite about love.

Three excerpts from "Too Serious", "Fantasia" and "By the Fireplace" were used in Lucy's choreography.

The sound of the xylophone sounded first, ding ding dong dong, like a rain falling under the eaves.Lucy slid out in such a dreamy and light melody.

Cold, gentle, and nostalgic, it makes people feel like returning to the small ice rink in Crane City.At first, Lucy's steps were childish and jumpy, just like the little milk bag that first set foot on the ice, stumbling and stubborn. Music is the axis that opens the scroll of memory and composes everything more stretched and beautiful.

Lu Xi turned around, assisted the skid, and lowered his center of gravity to take off.

3A, done perfectly.

The boy in the white shirt is nostalgic for the memory of his youth no matter what time it is. The boy himself wears a white shirt, and he seems to have returned to the time when he was ignorant.

In the years when I didn't understand anything, I saw the figure I longed for, and I mistook that longing for hostility, and then I kept chasing it stubbornly, refusing to admit defeat.

Lu Xi speeded up his skating on the ice, as if he was the stubborn kid more than ten years ago who insisted on letting Deng Chang take a look at his newly practiced back triple axel.

This time it was 4T, and the ice was placed around the inside.

Clean.

Looking back now, the original self was really not likable enough.

Fortunately, that person has always chosen to like it.

When I was 14 years old, I was on the same team as Deng Chang for the first time in the training camp, and it was the first time I was close to the outstanding seedlings of various provincial teams.Lucy was the youngest child in that training camp, and he was not good at communicating with people. In that environment, he huddled in a corner by himself until someone came over.

His cold eyes seemed to ignore him at all, but what he said was "Do you want to be with me?" Chen Qi saw it.

In retrospect, this was probably a very important turning point.

Lu Xi maximized his skating speed. This jump was taught to him by Deng Chang, with a small change of edge, a small twist of the upper body, and then the outer edge was crushed to death.

4Lo.

The music enters the second track, the melodious and beautiful "Fantasia". In this piece of music, the composer seems to be in a dream, slightly telling a sweet love story.Lucy made a few cross-footwork slides on the ice, and his temperament seemed to have subtly changed between these few steps, from a child to a teenager.

At the age of 16, Lu Xi was promoted to the adult group, and reunited with Deng Chang, who had hardly spoken well before.

4Lo+3T seems to announce the beginning of a new stage of the story, and the performance enters the second half.

"Fantasia" is sweet, but dreams are not always.

Lucy is not a very good dancer, he was born lacking in talent in this area, but he worked hard to practice modern dance, which is a dance that is very good at expressing emotions with the body, replacing the ballet and classical dance he originally practiced.Now the temperament of modern dance is finally presented in his performance.

On the pure white ice, the boy in the white T-shirt was running helplessly. Cooperating with the complex four-level footwork, his body movements were like a butterfly struggling to flap its wings in a storm, taking off and falling, falling. Taking off again, the glory that has been won, the seemingly promising future, and the sudden second injury.

Lucy vividly told the pain in that story with his body movements and expressions. When the camera occasionally cuts to a close-up of his face, that expression seemed to break the heart.

There was a short pause in the music section, as if the dream was about to wake up, or as if a person in pain had escaped into the dream. Lucy seemed to have heard something, and glanced aside intentionally or unintentionally.

At first glance, this action will make people feel that he is distracted, but the next second you see his eyes, you will know that this is also part of the performance.

After that look, Lucy put his hands around his shoulders, and quickly ran from one side of the ice rink to the other with a complicated footwork, as if meeting each other in a hurry and a little shyly in the garden that evening.

The boy hugged his own boy, willing to share and comfort all his pains.

He was also loved once, but love did not become a real two-way rush until that evening. Since then, it has become the chains that voluntarily handed to the other party to bind oneself, the pillar behind when weary and hesitant, and the ability to make each other surpass all impossible. Persevere in the belief.

After a brief pause, Lucy accelerated again, slid forward, turned backwards, lowered his body's center of gravity after a blade change, stepped on the shallow inner blade to touch the ice, and jumped!

The hook, which has been away from the field for a long time, soared into the air under everyone's attention, and then landed on the ice perfectly.

The audience cheered crazily, but Lucy's own feeling was not very strong. In fact, before the Olympics, his 4Lz was not successful. This is the first successful 4Lz in three years.

But not in a happy mood right now.

Lucy has completely immersed himself in the show.

Childhood scene, that was his childhood scene.

The last piece, "By the Fire", is pure sweetness.Supporting each other because of love, and being fearless because of love, Lucy was in surprisingly good condition, and lightly completed the last two sets of jumps, as well as joint rotations, and finally accompanied by the music that faded away, he used a kind of "harmony" Walking on the ice for two steps like a lover walking in the garden, he stopped slowly, turned around and smiled.

This is Lucy's first performance that does not end at a fixed point in a strong rhythm, and what he wants to express is that kind of unfinished feeling.

The young man full of happiness, gently and firmly walks towards the next perfect dream.

The cheers on the scene seemed as if this was not a competitive game, but a super idol's personal show.Lu Xi smiled at the auditorium, and then looked for Deng Chang's eyes at the athletes' seat. He smiled so sweetly, and the camera cut to him knowingly. When he saw Deng Chang, the favorite gold medalist who was about to appear on the stage, he wiped his eyes lightly. rolled his eyes.

Lucy greeted with a smile, and it rained fluff again.

More than two years ago, Lucy suffered a comminuted fracture, and more than two years later he entered the Winter Olympics.

He told the most perfect story of his 17-year ice career.

-

When Lu Xi got off the ice, he was still a little dazed, unable to tell whether he was in or out of the scene, Chen Qi's hands were shaking, and his arms were trembling all the time, Lu Xi felt that a piece of his shoulder had been knocked in.

"I can't find any faults." Chen Qi kept murmuring, "It's perfect, a world record, definitely a world record. Xiaoxi, you have a brand."

After he said that, Lucy felt a little real, and it was unbelievable. Although he knew that he skated very well, he had also won a big competition—referring to the World Championships—championship, But, Olympic medals, really?Just saying this word feels too far away.

-

Sit in equal partitions.

The previous world record was 219 points set by Chisato Orihara. Chen Qi said that Lu Xi could break the record. Lu Xi thought it was possible. After all, he performed very well this time, and he was playing at home, but...

There was a sudden yelling like a tsunami at the scene. Lu Xi looked at the numbers on the big screen, blinked his eyes, and looked at it again.

The eye sockets suddenly became hot.

The number in the total free skating score is 225.5.

It broke the world record, and surpassed it by as much as 5 points.

As a result, Lucy's total score came to 332.15, surpassing Kavalenko and ranking first in real time, which means that Lucy has secured a medal when there are still two players who have not played.

-

After breaking down the ice, Lu Xi was almost blocked in the mixed mining area, breaking the world record, and he couldn't help but answer questions. Except for those related to Deng Chang and the gold medal, Lu Xi answered very politely. Quite a lot, and then hurriedly rushed away from the crowd, and went to the lounge to see that Orihara Chisato had finished skating and was dividing equally.

"How is he skating?" Lucy asked the assistant coach who stayed in the rest area.

"Very good too." The teaching assistant replied, "Congratulations, Xiaoxi."

Lucy smiled, "Thank you, I'll go first."

"Ah?" The teaching assistant was stunned, "Where are you going?"

"Coax people!" Lu Xi had already left the door, leaving only the ending voice in the room.

-

On the way to the competition area, Lucy heard Chisato Orihara's score, 218.1 in the free skating, with a total score of 330.32, two points lower than Lucy's, which means Lucy won the silver medal.But now he has no time to be happy, he rushed to the competition area and grabbed Deng Chang who was about to go on the ice.

Deng Chang's free skating has always been a shortcoming.

The three consecutive extraordinary performances of Kavalenko, Lu Xi, and Orihara Chisato brought the score line of the podium to 314 points, which means that Deng Chang must score at least 211 points in the free skating to squeeze on the podium.

Deng Chang's highest free skating score in the past 17 years is 214.

As the number one player after the short program, facing the danger of not winning a medal, Lu Xi could probably feel Deng Chang's pressure.

Deng Chang was grabbed by Lu Xi and turned to look at him.

He didn't speak, and he didn't say those polite congratulations.

Because both of them knew that at this moment of the Olympic finals, what was more important was Deng Chang who was about to appear on the stage, and there was no need for those hypocrisy between them.

-

"Brother, come on." Lucy said.

Deng Chang nodded: "I know."

"I'm serious, you can do it." Lucy paused, "Don't forget, you are the opponent I want to beat the most in the past ten years."

Deng Chang froze for a moment, then curled the corner of his mouth, stretched out his fist and touched Lu Xi.

When he stepped onto the ice surface with the huge Olympic rings emblem printed on it, he turned to Lucy and said, "Don't worry, you won't win so easily."
