17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎"Is it cold? Let's go back to the dormitory first."◎

Of course, there was no suspense in the domestic Winter Olympics qualifiers. Deng Chang easily won the opportunity to travel for the country. It didn't take long for him to compete in the Grand Prix finals and the Winter Olympics.

If it is possible, Lu Xi really wants to go to the scene with Deng Chang, even if it’s just to watch the atmosphere of the game, but this kind of big game, the national team is very strict in leading people, even if Lu Xi goes there at his own expense, he can’t go with the team , I can only regretfully stand in front of the TV and cheer for Deng Chang.

The four-year Winter Olympics is the most important competition for all players, and the Winter Olympics is also the event that is most likely to make people feel lucky.

The four-year period is too long for figure skaters, and the men's singles is a bit better. It is inevitable that the peak of the first Winter Olympics has not yet arrived, and the embarrassing situation of the second participation in the peak has passed.

Women's singles is even more regrettable, because the peak period of female players is between 16 and 17 years old. They have not developed yet, and the years when their bodies are the lightest. In countries with extremely fierce competition, such as Russia, if it is not just in the Olympic year At this age, it is basically doomed not to beat the competitors who are at their peak age and in the best condition, and they are not even qualified to play.

In the finals of the Grand Prix, Deng Chang skated sixth. He fell off the 4F in the short program. The national team was overwhelmed by Lu Xi’s injury this year. A good ranking in the Winter Olympics.

During the Winter Olympics, all the coaching staff went abroad to compete, and the players who stayed here were led by assistant coaches. Cui Xiao was the assistant coach in Lu Xi's group, so it was equivalent to herding sheep.

As the number one fan, Lu Xi stood in front of the TV every day.

During the opening ceremony, he searched for Deng Chang's face in a piece of national team uniform, but he couldn't find it. All the players of the national team were in the hundreds, and the cameras were not accurate enough.

The Winter Olympics cycle is very long, and the men's singles only started in the second week, so Lu Xi has been training with Zhu Sibai for such a long time.

Without Deng Chang, Lu Xi has no energy in practicing movements. The main reason is that Xiao Baibai has just practiced for three and a half weeks, and there is a generation gap between the two of them.

But also because of Deng Chang's absence, Lu Xi became more attentive.

Nearly a year later, the impact of the injury has finally fully recovered, and the 17-year-old boy's technical explosion period is coming.In fact, Lu Xi has never been a player who learns things very quickly. Every new move he relies on is his own self-abuse hard practice, and the confidence that he can do it no matter how he fails.

While Deng Chang was preparing for the Winter Olympics, he had already started to practice the 4th floor ([-]F), and Cui Xiao helped him carry the boom every day and watched him do the movements.

Lu Xi just started jumping and fell, 4Lo and 4F. Although figure skaters have experienced many battles and know how to fall without pain, falling dozens of times a day is still exhausting.

Cui Xiao felt a little distressed seeing him fall like this, especially the two of them lived in the same dormitory, Cui Xiao could see that Lu Xi's knees were bruised when he went back at night.He persuaded Lucy, "Why don't you wait until the Winter Olympics is over and let Xiao Deng teach you how to dance. It wasn't very fast for him to take you to 4Lo before."

"No." Lu Xi lifted his chin, "Can I learn all the movements from him?"

Cui Xiao was speechless, he couldn't understand the children's desire to win.

-

Soon it was Deng Chang's Winter Olympics competition, Lu Xi moved the small stool again early in the morning and sat in front of the TV.

Deng Chang has always been commented that the short program is better than the free skating, which is not a good trait among figure skaters, because the free skating has higher points, and a strong short program means that it is easy to be counterattacked, which will hurt in the long run mentality.

But fortunately, Deng Chang's hard skills lie there, even if his free skating score is a little lower, he still performed well.

The theme of Deng Chang's short program this year is "Prayer".

Lucy didn't think so at the time, and after being forced to take a lot of art appreciation classes, he began to realize that these seemed to be two styles of the same theme dance.

In this program, Deng Chang wore a platinum and gold Costen, and played the role of the god of harvest. After the difficulty was increased again, he performed perfectly. At the end of the short program, he ranked third, second only to Wari Chenke and Chisato Orihara lead the American star Gilles by 2 points.

It's fine if you're ahead of the others, but Jayers can openly complain about Lucy before.

Although Lu Xi didn't care much about what others said about him, it was impossible not to hold grudges against this kind of person who made a name for himself.

So he was very relieved to see Deng Chang overwhelmed Jayers in the short program, but he didn't send a message to Deng Chang, because he was afraid that Deng Chang would feel pressure.

The next day was the men's singles free skating, and Lu Xi sat in front of the TV two hours in advance. If Cui Xiao knew that Lu Xi trained very hard, he would probably think that Lu Xi wanted to skip training on purpose.

It is a pity that Deng Chang's free skating was not as perfect as the short program, and was overtaken by Jayers, and finally ranked fourth.However, Geers only narrowly beat Deng Chang by one point, and was ten points behind Orihara Chisato and Varichenko each. It was obvious that he could not keep up with the first echelon, and he would be overtaken by the young people behind him every minute.

So before the start of the Winter Olympics, he was still arrogant. In the post-match interview, he completely lost his arrogance. He is the only top player in the world who has only won one bronze medal in the two Winter Olympics. The Olympic Games, being ridiculed by his own reporter, has no time to come out and attack others.

As for Deng Chang, although he lost to the third player in the world, his fourth place in the Winter Olympics has allowed him to once again create history for the country.

On the day Deng Chang came back, Lu Xi ran to wait at the gate of the first body early in the morning. It was not even dawn at that time, and he was wrapped tightly in a down jacket.

When I sat there, I didn't feel cold, but I was very excited thinking that I would finally see Deng Chang.

When the bus carrying the team members came in, Lucy stood up awkwardly, and suddenly felt that she was so stupid, so she quickly pretended to be running in the morning and began to trot around the road.

He kept "trotting" until the bus entered the parking lot, and then he pretended to be just fine, stopped in front of the bus, saw Deng Chang getting off, and walked over quickly: "What a coincidence!"

Deng Chang just took off the box, wearing a thick woolen hat, gloves, and scarf. He is obviously a figure skater, but on the contrary, he is very tightly covered as if he is afraid of the cold. It does not look like he is soaking in the ice rink every day.

Hearing Lucy's voice, he turned around and was stunned for a while before saying, "Well, what a coincidence, you—"

"I do morning exercises!" Lucy quickly said the reason he had prepared, "I..."

Lu Xi suddenly remembered that he had met Deng Chang in the same way when he returned to China in the previous Four Continents Competition.The situation then was very similar to now.

So now Deng Chang may understand that his "morning run" is just an excuse to see Deng Chang.

And he seemed to suddenly understand why he thought it was a bit strange for Deng Chang to take a walk in the garden that day.

Lucy:"……"

The scene was a bit embarrassing for a while, and in the cold and windy winter weather, Lu Xi suddenly felt that his ears were heating up.

Deng Chang cleared his throat: "Is it cold? Let's go back to the dormitory first."

Lucy came back to his senses abruptly, and nodded hurriedly: "Mmm...OK."

The author says:

This part of the game is abbreviated because of Xiaoxi's perspective. I won't write so detailed about the games without Xiaoxi and the games without big plots.

After sorting out our thoughts, we still focus on falling in love.

And: There is a bug here because I forgot the team competition, so let’s consider it a private setting_(:3」∠)_There will be a team competition in 2022!
