17 years on ice [figure skating]

◎Jump a few simple three-week warm-ups, and then four weeks. ◎

当冰迷们在上面大叫着“4+3！你们看到了么！16岁的4+3！”时，还没上场的选手们也都在观摩着路西这个跳跃。

Cui Xiao, Deng Chang, and the youth group players all followed Chen Qi.

"Xiaoxi's jump quality is so high." Cui Xiao said in shock, "It's high and floating, almost like Xiao Deng."

"The quality of jumping is not the most eye-catching, he is really a genius when skating." Chen Qi stared straight at Lu Xi's figure.

The coach who always looked serious looked like an old monster looking at Tang Monk's meat, Cui Xiao wanted to add two lines of saliva to his mouth.

How many steps did Lu Xi take on the ice just now?

two steps?Or is it just one step?

In Chen Qi's mind, he had already added a lot of steps and twists to Lu Xi before this jump, which was difficult for domestic men's singles before, because none of them had the skating ability as powerful as Lu Xi.

Sliding mainly refers to blade use ability, pedaling acceleration, skating posture, etc. People with good skating ability will have good speed and distance on the ice, and their posture is also light.

Sliding ability is very important for jumping, because jumping needs enough acceleration to assist take-off. If you do a bunch of footwork and then take off, the sliding speed will not be enough, and you may not be able to do the actions you could have done, but you just finished the steps. There will be bonus points for jumping again.

Lucy's skating talent allows him to have excellent acceleration, and this part of the score can be eaten well.

Plus, footwork, spin, expressiveness... all based on skating.

Moreover, in recent years, the level of jumping training in my country has continued to increase, and the overall jumping level of athletes has gradually narrowed to that of world powers, but the training of skating ability has not found a way, so a young skating genius like Lucy is even more rare.

When Chen Qi went to Crane City for the first time, he was deeply impressed by Xiaoluxi's gliding. His gliding felt like there was nitrogen acceleration on his shoes.

But at that time, the technology was not formed after all, and the technology may change when they grow up. Premature high hopes will also harm the child itself, so Chen Qi did not rush to start, but observed for a few more years.

Seeing that the child's skills became more and more stable until he was promoted to the adult group at the age of 16, Chen Qi made a decisive move and took Lu Xi under his command.

-

"What do you think of Deng Chang?" Chen Qi asked another favorite general beside him, "How does Xiaoxi dance?"

Just now when Lu Xi was doing quadruple jumps, Deng Chang was originally stretching his waist on the sidelines, but when Lu Xi started to press his steps to help him slide, he looked over, and Chen Qi saw this.

"It's okay." Deng Chang replied.

Chen Qi hummed.

I expected such a proud answer. If Lu Xi’s trump card is gliding, Deng Chang is best at jumping. Although his gliding technique is not as smooth as Lu Xi’s, his jumping and explosive power are second to none, and his jumping quality is really good. A little better than Lucy.

Athletes are a profession that always strives for the first place. Excellent athletes, of course, must have pride in their field of expertise.

Chen Qi has great expectations for the twin stars Deng Chang and Lu Xi. He hopes that they can maintain a healthy competitive relationship. They are both rivals and friends, which is the most suitable state.

"Let's get on the ice." Chen Qi slapped his chin and signaled his competitors to get on the ice, officially starting the jumping class.

Afterwards, he tapped Cui Xiao on the shoulder, "Cui Xiao, let's prepare for the World Championships in a while."

"Okay." Choi said with a smile.

-

Tonight's ice training is jumping and gliding. I have a jumping class for an hour and a half first, because jumping requires more physical strength, and then I have a gliding class.

Jumping is the core technical movement of figure skating. No matter how much the International Skating Federation talks about the so-called artistry and expressiveness, it has to admit that jumping is the basis for high scores.

Without the high technical points scored by the difficult quadruple jump, no matter how perfect the performance is, it will be uncompetitive.

Quadruple jumps are not like triple axels. As long as triple axel is a child's skill, if you practice hard, you can do it no matter what, but quadruple jumps are not.

During the extra week of staying in the air, there are extremely high requirements on the jumping ability, rotational speed, center of gravity, and control of the athlete, including the load of gravity on the athlete when landing on the ice is much higher than that of the triple jump.

Most athletes can't complete all five quadruple jumps until they retire.

In other words, to be able to master one more quadruple jump is to master one more weapon to score points in international competitions.

Lucy's current quadruple jump reserve is three and a half weeks, four weeks of ice pointing on the back and outside, plus four weeks on the back and inside with a low success rate.

In the World Youth Championships, he performed all three difficult movements and completed them perfectly. Even the goe (execution points) of each movement got extra points from the referee, so he won the championship.

In the previous year's World Youth Championship, Deng Chang had the same difficulty reserve as him, but fell down, so he was the third runner-up.

In fact, there was an element of luck in this matter. Before the competition, Huang Bin advised Lu Xi not to go to the inner four sides of the back. If he fell, the gold medal would definitely be gone.

But he just had that self-confidence, reported, got on, and landed on the ice perfectly.

He is a crazy player, the more people watching him and the bigger the ice, the more excited he is.

All in all, at the age of 16, Lucy's technical difficulty is already at the top of the world, but compared with the current top men's singles players, he still has a lot of room for improvement.

Because he is still in the developmental stage, male athletes are at the stage of 19 to [-] years old, and their muscle strength, physical strength, and explosive power are all growing rapidly. Movements that cannot be done last month may be able to do next month.

Moreover, in order to prevent injuries from too much load, Huang Bin has not allowed him to practice too hard quadruple jumps. Only after the adult group can he increase the intensity of strength training and quadruple jump training. He is full of expectations for this.

The athletes first did a few simple two-week and three-week warm-ups, and then went up to the difficulty.

-

The simplest four-week back-to-back point on the ice was easy for Lu Xi to complete. Of course, Cui Xiao and Deng Chang also did the same. Several players in the youth group practiced for three weeks.

Then in the four weeks behind, Lu Xi jumped four times, fell two times, and fell two times. Deng Chang completed three perfectly.

Lu Xi really has to admit that Deng Chang is really talented in jumping. His jumping ability and force technique are too good. He can jump really high, and he feels that he doesn't need speed, just pull it out.

After the back and inner quadruple jumps are completed, it is time to practice the rear and outer knot jumps in sequence. This is the movement that Lucy has not mastered.

As usual, Cui Xiao did it first, followed by Deng Chang, and Lu Xi watched intently.

Cui Xiao completed it smoothly, but at the age of 26, his physical function is no longer at the peak. The back and outer four weeks can only be said to be "completed", and then Deng Chang played.

Deng Chang was still dressed in black, with no expression on his face. This scene always reminded Lu Xi of the ice rink in Songcheng seven years ago.

It is still a fast skating around three-quarters of the field, the body is backward, the center of gravity falls on the right leg placed on the rear side, stepping on the outer edge, and doing a small waist twisting action.

Take off, spin, land on the ice.

Clean, crisp, tall, floaty, and far back around the outer knot ring.

This really made Lucy hungry.

-

It takes a lot of effort to learn each quadruple jump, and different take-off methods will affect the jump height. Simply put, jumps with higher scores give people the feeling of "I can't use my energy when I take off".

Lu Xi can't jump high on the back and outer sides, so he can only turn 3.5 times. To complete the jump, he has to rely on the boom.

The boom is an auxiliary jumping device similar to a fishing rod. The protective belt is tied around Lu Xi's waist. After he takes off, Chen Qi can pick him up like fishing, and put him down after he turns around.

After hanging twice, Lu Xi jumped around again, but the jump was still not high enough, so he fell quite badly.

He did another back and outside three weeks, this movement is easy to do without any problems, and then entered the fourth jump, the back inside ice.

After that, Lu Xi couldn't do it even if he was wearing a suspender, because Chen Qi would only help improve a little, and the main force was still on their own.

The overall force, axis, and ice landing posture all need to find the feeling, and Lu Xixue's movements are actually not fast.

So when he saw that Deng Chang was able to do a full circle around the back with a suspender, and even without a suspender, but couldn't stand on the ground, he was greedy for this person's jumping talent.

Cui Xiao can only do three kinds of quadruple jumps, but at this age, he is about to retire. Naturally, he has given up the ice jump after learning. He has done a few symbolic three-week jumps.

After hanging once, Lu Xi failed to touch the ice for four weeks, and resigned himself to jumping for three weeks.

-

Although on the surface, jumping is nothing more than skating around the field and then taking off, it is quite simple, but it is actually very energy-intensive to do.

After dancing for 10 minutes, basically everyone's legs were weak, so Chen Qi arranged for everyone to rest for 10 minutes.

Some athletes slide slowly around the periphery of the ice rink to relax sore muscles, and some simply lean against the ice wall and beat their thigh and calf muscles to massage and relax.

Deng Chang is the former, and he is gliding slowly along the outer wall of the ice rink, doing some relaxing movements such as pulling his ankles and kicking his legs alternately, and his legs are growing to break through the sky from the back.

Lucy stared at him for a while, thought about it, and slid over quickly.

He wanted to ask Deng Chang how he should exert his strength around the back and outside.

Of course, Deng Chang may not tell him, after all, this is his secret weapon, but... still wants to try.

After all, we have known each other for so many years.

Lu Xi slipped shyly to Deng Chang's side. Deng Chang felt someone behind him and looked back at him.

Looking at each other, Lu Xi dawdled and didn't know how to speak.

Just as he was doing psychological training for himself, he said that after knowing each other for so many years, he should take the initiative to extend the olive branch of friendship to ease the relationship, and suddenly heard Chen Qi next to him seriously educate the youth team members he led:

"As a professional athlete, you must have your own arrogance! If you feel that others are better than you in everything because you admire them, and you lose the courage to surpass them, and you don't even dare to know each other, then why do you still participate in the competition? You are so I adore your brother Xi, and you have to learn from him in this respect too. Look at Deng Chang’s amazing jumps. Do you know what your brother Xi said when he saw him? It’s “weaker than me!””

Deng Chang: "..."

Lucy:"……"

Can't be relieved.

excuse me.
