I'm still dancing today

As soon as the contestants entered the arena, the atmosphere exploded, as if the champion had already been decided. Fans from various countries were cheering for the contestants from their own country. When these voices came together, the roof of the stadium was about to blow off. , It was really overwhelming madness.

Before Xie Qizhi met his girlfriend, he had never paid attention to winter competitions, and naturally he did not know the situation of figure skating team competitions.Hearing the cheers at the scene, he thought in a daze, this atmosphere... is not inferior to the big ball games!

The team competition is very special. Except for a team leader coach, other coaches are not allowed to enter the arena. A team is a group of people, wearing uniform clothing, each sits in the seat arranged in advance, and almost circles the arena.

The row of seats closest to the ice was occupied by them.

The team competition is strategic. After the short program of the first round, according to the scores of his team, the captain will hand in the list of players for the next game as soon as possible. The performance of the opponent, the players on the field may not be the players planned at the beginning, and the captain will have to bear a lot of pressure.

Of course, for athletes, the pressure of the team competition is also great, and they are afraid of being dragged down.

Although the contestants may talk and laugh with the people around them and pretend to be relaxed when they enter the arena, in fact, you can see their nervousness from their body posture and facial expressions. Forbearance, when looking at the players of other delegations, their eyes are full of inquiries, wishing to know immediately who the candidates sent by the opponent team are.

There was no accident on Huaguo's side, it was Su Yu's captain.

There are a total of ten team members. Apart from the team leader and coach Zhang Ni, the men's singles are Su Yu and Wu Yi... Yan Bingbing refused to participate in the team competition. He only wanted to skate well in the men's singles. Even Wu Yi knew that he was here for a formality. , but just in case, I also practiced the team skating program, so after all, it is not as good as Yan Bingbing, who has been concentrating on individual skating this season. In the previous international competitions, his ranking has always been behind Yan Bingbing.

There is only one place in the women's singles, so Liu Xiaowen is the only one to play. She is not strong enough, and she knows that she is the part that is lagging behind, so the pressure is the greatest. When she appears, she frowns, and she doesn't even dare to joke with others. Put on your headphones, put on your skates, and sit alone.

Huo Xuening and Jiang Yangbo, as well as a pair of players from the second echelon, are in the pair skating. Their complexions are much better than Liu Xiaowen's. After all, they are also the top five players in the world. As long as they can finish the competition normally, their scores should not be too low. There is no need to be top-notch to increase the score, and there is no need to be afraid of lowering the score at the bottom. The position in the middle reaches the least pressure.

For Ice Dance, because Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan are basically confirmed to play, it is not easy for Shen Zhong and Jiang Congnan to show up to fill up the number of people. emotions, or help pack bags and organize clothes.As for Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan, there was a problem of stress after all, so they were much quieter, especially Zhou Yueshan started to put on makeup again.

Xia Kaikai knew that Zhou Yueshan was nervous.

It is both the Olympic Games and team skating, even if Zhou Yueshan has won so many gold medals, there are still some battles that she has never experienced.If you haven't experienced it, you will think more, and you will feel more pressure for no reason.

Xia Kaikai doesn't talk too much, and Zhou Yueshan is not a newcomer either, she knows how to adjust her state, this time to calm herself down, Zhou Yueshan even brought a makeup box over, once she opened the dazzling array of cosmetics inside, she was no better than a professional There are fewer makeup artists.She had already finished her makeup, but she still drew her eyebrows, painted her lips, and outlined the delicate lines on her face little by little, as if she was sorting out her inner emotions.

Sitting next to Zhou Yueshan, Liu Xiaowen stared at Zhou Yueshan's makeup box with envy. She still couldn't find an effective way to adjust her state. Makeup suits Zhou Yueshan but not her. She can only use the most old-fashioned way, listening to music while listening to music Biting her nails, if the nails are torn and bleeding, she will be calmer in the sharp pain.

People who don't sit here can't really feel the uneasiness in the hearts of athletes just relying on imagination alone.

The Olympic Games held every four years!A stadium with [-] spectators!It's still a team competition!

People with a slightly weaker ability to withstand stress may feel blackened and out of breath if they stand here.

But these athletes still have to face the difficulties, which is no less than running with a mountain on their backs.

As the team leader coach, Zhang Ni is also the only coach who is qualified to enter the arena. She didn't say much. She sat next to Su Yu and held a few lists in her hand. These are the list of playing orders that will be handed in later. Start watching other teams.

At a glance, the combination of Alice, Ivan, and Arabella in ice dance, Mihavel, Oda Yuqing, Rock Vega and others in men's singles, pair skating...women's singles...top in the world rankings in each individual event All ten players showed up, and they were nervously making final preparations in their own teams.

Some teams are scattered, just like their side, the coaches let the players decompress themselves, and there are also teams where the players gather together to give lectures, and the excited words can be heard even halfway across the court.

No matter how you do it, it's your own habit.

But Zhang Ni found that not only she was observing, but players from more countries could not help but look at them, and even some coaches were wary.

Huaguo's figure skating has been too strong these years. The strong Zhang Ni feels like she is dreaming. Even knowing that the other party is making various arrangements and arrangements for them, she still can't believe it.

Look who's on the left?Great American team!How many years have they monopolized the ice dance championship? The craziest time, even the top three players were from the United States, but they couldn't even get a bronze medal in last year's World Championships.

Look who's on the right?Terrible E country team!The king team of men's singles, the "King Guo" who once appeared in Gogol, has become a symbol of an era, and it is not supported by tens of millions, but since Su Yu appeared, the throne of the highest honor has changed.Not to mention that this kid in their country, the women's singles champions of that kid, are now crazy enough to challenge the difficulty of men's singles, who else can I? !

Look at the team members of Canada, F, and Y. Even though there are no leading star athletes this time, their overall strength is too strong. The gap between the first-tier players and the second-tier players is only a tiny bit. Wait until the team competition It is completely possible for first- and second-tier contestants to play alone. Two programs consume energy, so is it difficult for one program?This is the overall strength of the family, not like the Huaguo today, the first and second tiers are really the first and second tiers, and they are really on two levels.

However, these countries that used to monopolize figure skating medals like giant beasts are all looking at them vigilantly at this moment. Their eyes are like seeing a dragon waking up in the east, fearful, observing, and proud , but feel inferior.

With such complicated emotions, for Zhang Ni, it was as if she had seen the former Hua Guo team.

Feeling sad.

Then, it boiled again.

This year's Olympics will definitely be different!It is different from any previous Olympic Games!The sudden emergence of the men's singles, the coming from behind in the ice dance, and the emergence of the two of them, even the upstream of the women's singles, made her feel as if her blood was boiling, and she was trembling with anticipation!

It will definitely be... different.

After recovering, Zhang Ni realized that Su Yu was talking to herself. She smiled apologetically and said, "Sorry, I was a little distracted."

Su Yu has never expressed much expression. Even in such a stressful arena, even though he is extremely looking forward to the results of this team competition, he still said steadily: "The referee is drawing lots. If the first game is Men's singles or ice dance is the best."

Zhang Ni nodded.

There are four team competitions, and the referee draws lots to determine the order of the competition. For the Hua Guo team, what they need most now is confidence. No matter the men's singles or the ice dance, they are all predictably high scores. The first and the last are the best, and Liu Xiaowen's pressure will be less.

At this moment, the music in the arena stopped, and the host's voice sounded on the radio.

"The figure skating team competition of the XX Olympic Games has officially started. According to the order of the lottery, each delegation will be broadcast to the audience."

"The first delegation is the Canadian team."

"The second delegation is the Y country team."

"The third delegation is the country R team."

"The fourth delegation is the E country team."

Every time the name of a delegation was sung, the audience applauded. When the name of the delegation from country E appeared, the sound from the scene was especially enthusiastic.

Members of the delegation from country E also stood up and waved their hands.

Immediately afterwards, the host continued to read.

"The fifth delegation is the US team."

"The sixth delegation is the F country team."

"The seventh delegation is the Hua Guo team."

Hua Guo ice fans in the stands stood up and applauded, the national flag was waving conspicuously in the crowd, shouting loudly, telling them compatriots struggling on the field, telling them that we are here and we are cheering for you!

The Hua Guo players stood up one after another, waved to the place where the applause was loudest, and each showed a bright smile, thanking the ice fans who followed them.

Then came the eighth, ninth, and No.10 players.

It's very interesting. The strong countries all got the first place in the field. The results of the remaining three countries are very average. It's luck to be able to enter the team competition, and the probability of reaching the final is very low.

The fiercest competition is ahead.

Immediately afterwards, the assistant referee brought up a transparent box with only one side in full view, and placed it in front of the referee, Mr. Duke.Mr. Duke got up, lifted the box and shook it vigorously before drawing lots, then put his hand into the lottery box and grabbed the top lottery.

At this moment, the audience held their breath, and everyone looked at his hand.

The camera was pushed to the nearest, and the big screen above the arena could clearly see how the slender hand was put into the box, how to grab the lot, and then take it out little by little.

tension.

The contestants were beating their hearts like drums, silently praying for the number of draws they hoped for. Each country has its most anticipated playing order according to its own situation, just like the Hua Guo team hopes that the men's singles and ice dance can be played one after the other. .

The corners of Xia Kaikai's mouth were tightened, a little nervous.

His eyes fell on the referee's face, Mr. Duke, they met four months ago, a very gentleman and aristocratic man from country Y, he also brought a young ice dancer named Jinuo The referee comes over.What impressed Xia Kaikai was that the referee named Jino was very enthusiastic. He not only watched their new season program and gave some pertinent suggestions, but even lived in Huaguo for a week, watching their training almost every day.

In short, the head referee of this team competition is not a stranger, at least not targeting the Hua Guo team, which is a good thing.

While thinking, the referee Duke took his hand out of the lottery box. What he was holding was a transparent thin board. When he lifted the thin board up high, he could see the words " Women's Singles".

The result is out!

The first game is "Women's Singles"!

Cheers erupted from Country E, and the two blond-haired, blue-eyed "babies" were surrounded by their teammates, high-fiving each other.

The reaction of the US team was not so strong, but the world's second-ranked women's singles athlete also got up immediately, shook hands with his teammates, and encouraged each other.

And the F country team... The Y country team... The R country team...

Of all the participating teams rushing for the gold medal, probably only the Hua Guo team is the quietest.

Liu Xiaowen stood up and gasped for breath twice, as if she was so nervous that she couldn't even breathe.Zhang Ni hurried to her side and comforted her: "Relax, we are in seventh place, you still have time."

Liu Xiaowen nodded, her nervous fingertips were cold, even a little numb and painful.

It's too fast, why is it her turn to play first?

Obviously she is the worst one in the team, if the result is too bad, will it have a bad effect on the other members, if she doesn't start well... no, no, the competition hasn't started yet, she should be able to skate Very good, this season she almost gave up on singles, and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the team competition, her results shouldn't be too bad.

However, it was still too early, how could she be the first to play, she was obviously not ready... Maybe, no matter how long it was, she was really nervous, so scared that she couldn't breathe.

Zhang Ni saw Liu Xiaowen's condition, so she had to pull her out and put her in an open space for warm-up training.During this period, she pinched her arm, and the muscles under her hand were tense. The child was already extremely nervous.

Zhang Ni took a deep look at Liu Xiaowen, sighed secretly, but said nothing.She asked other athletes to start preparing, while she accompanied Liu Xiaowen to help her relax.

At this time, music sounded in the arena, and the first player to enter the game was the Canadian female athlete who was drawn number one by lottery.

This is a brand new program, but the music itself is very common. The song "Madame Butterfly" is a basic training song for women's figure skating athletes. Because it is too common in the arena, it lacks novelty and the possibility of standing out is very small. , but also because everyone is skating, the whole program has been thoroughly researched, and there will be no major mistakes.In this program, she even lowered the difficulty, changing Axel's three-and-a-half weeks, which should have been completed, into two and a half weeks of jumping, ensuring the overall fluency of the program.

Overall, it is quite good.

At the end of the game, the applause sounded, and the Canadian female athletes left the field.

The second player to play is the women's singles player from country Y.

The world ranking of this women's singles athlete is even higher, and she belongs to the type that can enter the championship group competition in every major competition and can get medals.She is the women's singles lady from country Y, and her technical level is naturally very reliable. The ethereal and melodious song "Birds of Paradise", this women's singles player danced an axel for three and a half weeks.

Take off.

Rotate three and a half times.

Landing.

Slip and fall.

Axel, who had the highest score and was the most difficult, but had to jump, made a mistake.

Amid the regretful exclamations of the audience, the women's singles athlete from country Y got up quickly, found the rhythm, and adjusted her state as soon as possible. Combined with the spin action, it's done a game of its own.

take a bow.

end.

The women's singles athlete from country Y cried when surrounded by teammates.

She is obviously a battle-tested female player with rich experience and strong strength. She shouldn't be so vulnerable, but the pressure of the team competition is too great. One mistake is enough to collapse a person who is less able to withstand pressure.

Other spectators may be moved by this scene, but to the contestants on the scene, it is no less than a blow to the head. The feeling of substitution is sympathetic, as if they are slowly sinking into the quagmire, almost drowning illusion.

Zhou Yueshan suddenly hit Xia Kaikai's arm with Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms, Xia Kaikai looked at her, Zhou Yueshan said: "Kaikai, I'm so nervous, I'm going to die, what kind of competitions are these, is it too late for me to quit now?"

Xia Kaikai rubbed his fiery arms and looked at her.

Zhou Yueshan took a deep breath, continued to take a deep breath, widened her already round eyes and said, "Say something."

Xia Kaikai said quietly: "Ice Dance didn't dance, and there were two people again. Does this feel like a lot of pressure? Look at Liu Xiaowen, she can still stand."

Zhou Yueshan looked at Liu Xiaowen after listening to his words, and immediately showed sympathy.

Just looking at Liu Xiaowen's back can tell how much pressure she is under at this moment.

At this time, the third female contestant from country R came on stage.

The scores of the first two groups are displayed on the big screen.

No.1: Female player from country Y.

No.2: Canadian female players.

Although Axel, a female player from country Y, fell in three and a half weeks, she completed her three and a half weeks in the air, and her score was still higher than that of the more cautious Canadian female player.Moreover, the gap in the strength of the players themselves is indeed too great. The use of blades and fluency on the ice, and the difficulty of programming, led to the fact that even if the female players from country Y failed, their scores were as much as a quarter higher than that of the female players from Canada.

The female contestant from country R also started her competition at this time.

This female player is not a first-line athlete in country R, ​​and it feels like they have given up on the team competition.After all, if you don't even have much hope of entering the free skating, it's better to save some effort in the individual competitions.

Country R's women's single sister sat on the contestant's bench, chatting and laughing, with a relaxed expression like a spectator.

Of course.

The overall strength of the women's singles in country R is still very average. Whether you can enter the championship group depends on a little luck, so it doesn't matter if the first sister or the second sister comes here. When the song "Autumn Leaves" slides down, the score is even higher than that of Canada. More female athletes.

The standings have changed:

No. 1: Country Y.

No.2: Country R.

No.3: Canada.

The team competition is really tense, especially the countries that are determined to compete for medals in the team competition, their expressions are very dignified.

The performance of each teammate determines the final height of the team, and not everyone has the confidence to score high. The waiting process is no less than being roasted on a fire grill, and it is suffering.

Finally, the No. [-] women's singles player came on stage.

When she went on the ice, there was a burst of cheers in the arena, and many people stood up and applauded wildly.

It's country E!

It's the host!

It's a match for women's singles supremacy!

As soon as Prokova came on the field, there were bursts of applause in the arena, like thunder.

It's not just people from R country who like her. As the most powerful female single figure skater, her ability to crush the audience has earned her countless fans all over the world.For fans, just seeing Prokova standing on the ice is the most exciting thing.

Of course, as the host player, this kind of crazy scene is also a matter of course.

Prokova, who was wearing a set of black and gold Costen, put her blonde hair high behind her head, her face was painted with cool and thick makeup, her sharp eyebrows soared up, and her deep and big eyes had a look of contempt for the audience. Arrogance.

The more cold and aloof she is, the more Bingfan loves her, and a male voice comes out from nowhere, speaking loudly in the language of country E, in exchange for a burst of good-natured laughter.

Prokova stood in the middle of the ice unmoved, immersed in the artistic conception of the show, but twisted her shoulders and neck with full aura, tapped the ice to make an opening gesture, and nodded in the direction of the referee's seat. Look at your head.

Then the music played.

It's Carmen.

Prokova is very good at this kind of music with full rhythm and enchanting characters. She has a temperament that charms all living beings. Just standing coldly on the ice makes people crazy, let alone her following The demeanor when the music is dancing is extremely moving.

Opening, Prokova is an Axel three-and-a-half-week jump.

Steady to the extreme.

Landing on the ground without deviation or slant, she slid out, as light as the moment when a dragonfly touched the water, relaxed and at ease, and she couldn't feel the difficulty of Axel's jump at all.

"Crack!" Applause sounded.

As the strongest women's singles player in the world, Prokova is too strong.

The second jump of her short program turned out to be four weeks and three weeks of Rupp on the backside.

4T2loop!

Even many men's singles players can't do this action, but a female athlete can do it, and it's done very well.

Is it an exaggeration to say that Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan can lead the ice dance rules?

Is it an exaggeration to say that Su Yu can crush other opponents?

So a women's singles player can complete technical moves that most men's singles cannot complete, isn't it also exaggerated?

But this is the strength of the world's top athletes, their charm!

Because they are too strong, so strong that people look up to them, so strong that people can suffocate them, that's why so many people love them and become their fans.

An old song "Carmen" by Prokova, jumping and skating out of her own style, exploded the audience, some male ice fans were so excited that they almost threw themselves as gifts, not to mention those rainy gifts It's over half of the ice surface!

Prokova has a cold and noble attire, but she is young and loves to laugh.

After the show ended, she walked out of the artistic conception of the show and regained her original nature. She toured the field on the ice, took a curtain call with a bright smile, and blew a lot of kisses before she left the stage.

Needless to say, such a high level of score has already stood at the top, and no one can surpass it.

Standings changes.

First: Country E.

Second: Country Y.

Third: Country R.

Fourth: Canada.

Immediately afterwards, two women's singles players from the US team and the F country team played.

The women's singles players in these two countries are very strong, so strong that they can only compete with each other except that they can't kill Prokova, but they completely despise other women's singles players.

Their axel jumps are very stable, and they are all trying to catch jumps around, and they are all done well, and the final scores are extremely close, with a gap of only 0.1 points.

With the end of two consecutive games, the score list on the standings has increased to six.

First: Country E.

Second: the United States.

Third: Country F.

Fourth: Country Y.

Fifth: Country R.

Sixth: Canada.

at this time.

Player No. [-] has already warmed up.

It's Huaguo's women's singles player, Liu Xiaowen.
