I'm still dancing today

This order is obviously bad for Huaguo.

After such a result in the women's singles, what is most needed now is a morale-boosting competition, whether it's men's singles or ice dance, it doesn't matter!

Of course, the best is men's singles.

Su Yu has rich experience in the competition and played steadily. He can easily boost the morale of the Hua Guo team by playing in the second round.

The second is ice dancing. After all, Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan lack the experience of the Olympic Games, and they may make some small mistakes that will affect their results.

Lastly is the pair skating.

But what to be afraid of.

Obviously today's god of luck is not on the head of the Huaguo team.

However, it is not on the head of the E country team.

The pair skating performance of the host country E has always been mediocre, and it has not won a medal in this event for many years.

There were regretful voices in the auditorium.

At the same time, there were smiles on the faces of the three teams from country F, Canada and the United States.

Then they looked at each other warily.

Pair skating is a bit of a delicate situation these days.

This individual event has not had a champion who can crush other players for many years, so the champions of these years have been sitting on the heads of players from these three countries in turn. Occasionally, Hua Guo's pair skating will squeeze in to win a medal. It should not be underestimated, but it does not have the ability to win the championship.

This kind of competition is a bit more interesting than the women's singles where the results are clearly divided.

Obviously, when this round is over, the ranking will change.

Each participating team fills in the list of pair skating players as soon as possible and hands it over to the staff of the competition.

The pair skaters from Canada also set foot on the ice, preparing for the competition.

The Canadian pair skaters are considered veterans. Both of them are 28 years old this year, and judging from the fact that the longest pair skaters can skate to 35 years old, they can skate at least one more Olympic Games.

This is the third time they have participated in the Olympic Games.

The two are wearing Costen with contrasting colors. The female contestant wears a white skirt with slanted shoulders, while the male contestant wears a black suit. The two have a high international reputation. Skating world champion.

As soon as he entered the field, applause rang out.

In the absence of strong local pair skaters, the audience in country E obviously has their own idols.

There are also quite a few spectators in Country E who support the pair of Canadian players.

The two stood firm on the ice, posed in good poses, and the music sounded, it was "Swan Lake".

No wonder the costumes of the female contestants are a bit ballet style. The pure white color is actually not very flattering on the ice. Instead, the rich and full colors are more suitable for the white ice surface. But their show is "Swan Lake", so naturally they can only wear it white skirt.

And because the focus of "Swan Lake" is all on the female dancers, the main reason for the male contestants to wear black is to reduce the sense of presence and act as a qualified "frame" to highlight the female contestants wholeheartedly.

The familiar ballet music of "Swan Lake" sounded, and the two danced lightly to the sound of the music.

At the beginning, the two danced a synchronized back and outside ice point for three weeks. The synchronization rate was extremely high. They took off at the same time, and the speed, angle and height of the rotation were almost exactly the same. Exactly the same.

"Crack!" Applause sounded.

As expected of a pair of veterans participating in the Olympic Games for the third time, they have a good mentality and skate very steadily.And it can be seen that they have worked hard on this program. Viewers who are familiar with them can find that this program is even better than their individual skating this season.

Probably this kind of ballet style is more suitable for them.

It is said that the two have been learning ballet since they were young. When they first practiced figure skating, they intended to skate and dance, but due to various reasons, they finally became pair skaters.And their results did not live up to their choice and dedication. The title of world champion has been worn on their heads, and now they lack the title of Olympic champion.

The two played a song "Swan Lake", the skaters were beautiful and graceful, and the technical movements were completed very successfully. There was constant applause and a warm atmosphere on the court.

The team skating competition is still fun.

After watching the women's singles and pair skating competitions, Xie Qizhi was excitedly kissed by his girlfriend and said, "Thank you, team skating is super beautiful. You can watch all the competitions in one go, and you can also see so many competitions." World-class players, it's worth it!"

Xie Qizhi was complacent: "Tickets for group skating are much more expensive than for individual skating. You get what you pay for."

Now let's not mention his anxiety when he bought the wrong ticket.

Spectators are admiring the players' games in the stands, but the players are doing intense warm-up preparations on the edge of the arena.

Huo Xuening and Jiang Yangbo played in the seventh group, and they didn't need to wear skates for the time being, so they did a set of synchronized exercises on land, from synchronous joint rotation, to synchronous jumping, to lifting movements, the practice was meticulous Be serious and meticulous.

Women's singles lost too many points.

They all know that pair skating can no longer lose points.

Otherwise, even if men's singles and ice dance can get high scores, they will completely lose the chance to compete for the gold medal.

Let's talk about stress.

Pair skating is no less than women's singles.

In other words, because of Liu Xiaowen's mistakes, the pressure was shared on the heads of the next three individual athletes, and no mistakes could be tolerated.

Zhang Ni is the head coach of the national figure skating team, as well as the pair skating coach.Before other individual athletes compete, she can't give much advice, only encouragement.But in the face of this pair of players brought out by her single-handedly, Zhang Ni couldn't finish talking.

"Pay attention to the rhythm of the music, Jiang Yangbo, you like to grab the beat, but this time it's a competition, let me hear the music clearly before skating!"

"Xue Ning, remember that your joint rotation should be faster, and the force of the entry must be sufficient, otherwise this part will definitely lose points."

"and also……"

"Anyway..."

"must……"

Zhang Ni kept talking.

In fact, she was also nervous.

She has served as the head coach of the national figure skating team for ten years. Others say that she is lucky, and she was able to train two individual world champions during her tenure. Xia Kaikai's appearance didn't make her feel relieved, but her sense of urgency was even greater.

She is the head coach, and she should train excellent pair skaters.

She is the head coach, and she must be responsible for the athletes' performance.

She is the head coach, and this team competition is a once-in-a-century opportunity in Huaguo, and she also wants to win the championship.

Therefore, you must not let the pair skating competition lose points under your nose!

Zhang Ni's mentality is still good, but the pressure of this competition is greater than ever before, and she even forgot how to laugh.

She accompanied her two favorite athletes to warm up, reminded them repeatedly, and finally calmed down at the last moment, and said restrainedly: "I won't talk about the rest, you guys prepare again, the game will go well."

There is only so much that can be said and done.

The next step is for the children to complete it by themselves. As a parent, no matter how worried or reluctant she is, she has to let them go forward alone.

It's a long-winded time, the pair skating competition on the field has completed three rounds, and country R, ​​who entered the field on the [-]rd, is waiting for the final score.

I have to say that after watching the pair skating in country R, ​​it is quite confidence-inspiring.

Every country has its own individual events that it is good at. Country R, ​​which is not bad in men's singles and women's singles, has a poor performance in pair skating.The "Starfall Night" skated by this pair of pair skating partners should be good in terms of arrangement and technical difficulty, and the level of the two is not bad, but the synchronization is terrible. A joint rotation of three-level changes, male and female The partner was actually a lap behind, not to mention issues such as the distance and height of the synchronized jump. The referee severely deducted a lot of points from them in this link.

This level should almost be the bottom result of this round.

Some people are at the bottom, which will make people relax a little bit.

Even the team members who don't play the game will feel a little more relaxed mentally.

Xia Kaikai said, "If Country E and Country USA lose the top three in this round, we still have a chance."

Zhou Yueshan nodded: "Yes! The Canadian pair has high scores, and they can probably lock in the top three, but their women's singles score is only 4 points. So if Canada can lower the scores of country E and the United States, they will It’s not a big threat in itself, and we do have a chance.”

"One will ebb and flow."

"The team competition is really interesting."

"Weren't you still scared just now?"

"Let's break the jar, it's all like this anyway, staring at the possibility of a counterattack, on the contrary, I am more motivated."

Xia Kaikai stared at this partner who was different from ordinary girls, and smiled: "Yes."

The scores of the pair skaters from country R came out, and they were really low, 13 points less than the pair skaters from Canada.

How many points are there in the short program of the pair skating? It is 13 points behind the first-line score. This pair of players from country R is indeed at the bottom.

The standings have changed at this time.

Standings ranking.

No. 1: Country Y.

(Women's singles: 7 points. Pair skating: 9 points. Total score: 16 points)

No.2: Canada.

(Women's singles: 4 points. Pair skating: 10 points. Total score: 14 points)

No.3: Country R.

(Women's singles: 5 points. Pair skating: 8 points. Total score: 13 points)

No.4: Country E.

(Women's Singles: 10 points)

No.5: The United States.

(Women's Singles: 9 points)

No.6: Country F.

(Women's Singles: 8 points)

No.7: Country D.

(Women's Singles: 6 points)

No.8: Huaguo.

(Women's Singles: 3 points)

No.9: Smecta country.

(Women's Singles: 2 points)

No.10: The nations of Israel.

(Women's singles: 1 point.)

Judging from the standings, country R's score seems to be very high, ranking No.3, but as other players start their competitions, their rankings will continue to decrease, and their scores will continue to decrease.

This feeling of seeing her ranking drop is no less than Ling Chi.

Team competition, when you think about it, is still very interesting.

Xia Kaikai pursed his lips and smiled.

Of course, the premise is that he is not the team that was "lingchi".

Obviously.

The country R team also knew this situation, and their expressions were very calm.Just like the Hua Guo players were welcoming Liu Xiaowen, the R country also gave the pair skaters more understanding.

But that's all.

In the team competition, failure is equal to slowing down, and the regret of slowing down is like taking poison, which is painful. Even if no one blames yourself, you can poison yourself to death. Even after the competition, even after many years, you can’t let it go .

This is a kind of blow, a kind of negative emotion, which is not good for anyone, and even most self-aware people will avoid it, so as to avoid being chained for the rest of their lives and never being able to let go.

Don't the pair skaters in country R have self-knowledge?

Does Liu Xiaowen have no self-knowledge?

But they still came!

I came here even though I knew I was slowing down...

Just because their team needs them.

The four individual events of the team competition are indispensable, just like the four beams supporting the building. Even if they are so fragile that they will break if they are broken, they still have the courage to stand here and bear the weight that they could not bear. Do your best and contribute what little light and heat you have.

Looking at it from another angle, these so-called "dragging" athletes are also great.

Even with a lot of pressure that other people don't have.

Others should give encouragement, give understanding, and help them get out of prison.

This is destined to be very long and requires everyone's efforts and patience to enlighten.

But there is another way, which is more efficient and thorough, but it is very difficult.

At this time, the No. [-] pair skater, the athlete from the host country E, is already competing on the field.

Country E's pair skating results are relatively mediocre compared to other events. Their first-line pair skating players even only finished [-]th in this year's World Championships.But probably due to the reason of the host, in this game's advantage, their song "Winter Hunt" slid out the strong integrity culture of the people of E country. In the wild applause, everyone seemed to really see a team playing in the snow field. Hunters chasing snowfield wolves all over the world, they deal with cunning wolves, fight wits and courage with them, stand fearlessly in front of the cruel and ferocious sharp teeth, even if they fight with bare hands, they will tear those ferocious beasts apart.

This program resonated strongly with the audience in country E. Even audiences from other countries watched with enthusiasm and continued to applaud.

However, due to the difficulty, the final score was not very high, but this pair of country E pair skaters also performed at a super level.

The applause continued.

Although the two couldn't get a high score, they fully achieved the score they planned. The two were very satisfied, hugging, waving, and taking a curtain call. With bright smiles on their faces, they were even happier than winning the championship.

After the scores came out, they were temporarily ranked No.3, but their scores were much higher than that of the pair from country R, ​​and their final results would not be too bad.

When they returned to the team, they were greeted by their teammates like heroes.

"awesome!"

"With this score, we will definitely be able to win No.1!"

"This year's team championship will still be ours!"

The cheers from the team of the country E delegation came over, and the "laggard" members of other delegations all showed envy.

There is a plan for the team competition. Every team member has a task, including the "laggard" athletes must score a certain point value, so it doesn't matter how many points are set, the key is to go beyond this point value, It's over done!

Liu Xiaowen looked sad.

Her score was one point less than that of the Canadian players. If only she had been more sober at that time, even if she had risen one rank, she would have won one more point for the team.

This kind of emotion has been haunting Liu Xiaowen, and she can't get rid of it for a long time.

At the same time, the pair skaters of the US team also played.

The United States is really strong in figure skating. The pair skaters are also a pair of world champions, and they are not very young. In the pair skating event, it is the golden age and the time to make achievements.

A song "Country Party", from a folk singer in the United States, the timbre played by the guitar is particularly fresh. Compared with the various symphonies, piano pieces and violin pieces before this, there is another charm, just like eating delicacies from mountains and seas , The porridge and side dishes at this moment are also extraordinarily delicious.

Moreover, they skated very smoothly, with a full sense of rhythm, precise blade use, high degree of completion and synchronization of technical movements, and the momentum became stronger as they skated, as if they already had the posture of champions.

However, accidents happen when no one is prepared.

The last jump is also the simplest triple axel jump. It was synchronized when it took off, and it landed perfectly, but who knew that the male athlete's body would lose control at this moment, and he was supported on the ice. .

"Oh……"

There was a voice of regret in the arena.

Even such a small mistake is very dangerous in a competition of this level.

What's more, the pair skating athletes have not had a phenomenal athlete leading the way in recent years. Therefore, when everyone is at a similar level, such a small mistake may be fatal.

After the game, the male contestant was obviously tired and out of breath, but his face turned pale with annoyance. His blue eyes should have been bright and charming, but at this moment they were dim and dark. They all fell down.

The female players didn't know about their partner's mistakes at first, but when they left the arena and met the coach, their expressions changed. Looking at their partner's face, their expressions were complicated and it was difficult to speak.

Score out.

The U.S. players, who were supposed to be champions, ended up not scoring as high as the Canadian players, and missed the opportunity.

Needless to say, the annoyance in this.

But that's sports.

No one is an ever-victorious general, and no one can only struggle in the quagmire of failure forever. He may lose the gold medal in a trance, or he may surpass himself at the most critical moment due to his accumulated strength.

That's the beauty of sports.

Even if you already have a candidate for the championship and the ranking of the players in your heart, the final result may be far beyond your expectations.

In the arena, those athletes who fight with their souls, no one can predict the power of the sudden burst of brilliance. There is no absolute success or absolute failure, but this is also the charm of sports.

Mu Yuan was sitting on the VIP seat, looking away from the standings and looking at the young people waiting on the sidelines of the arena.

It is almost conceivable that the young man, with his seemingly plain face at the moment, is counting points crazily in his heart, planning all kinds of endings, and being put on layers of pressure like shackles by himself.

Very distressed.

But there is nothing he can do now.

The women's singles mistake had pushed the Hua Guo team to the edge of a cliff, and there was no other way but to grit their teeth and rush back.And I am outside the game, so I can see more clearly that if the Huaguo team wants to win, they still need some luck. The current situation must not have an absolute leading team. The teams in front should restrain each other. , the Hua Guo team has the chance to overtake.

This kind of opportunity obtained by relying on other people's mistakes is inherently unsafe, and KK probably doesn't like it either.

If possible, he really wanted to hug him and give him the deepest tenderness and comfort, hoping that he would not think about anything and just enjoy this Olympic Games.

Mu Yuan secretly sighed.

His eyes fell on the standings, and he prayed that the players from country F would not perform well, otherwise country F would take the lead at the end of this round, and the restrictive effect of Canada would be greatly reduced.

But what to be afraid of.

The player from Country F who played next played very well.

The mistakes made by the American players made them vigilant, and their heads became extremely clear. They performed very well throughout the game, and there was nothing wrong with them.

The song "Mountains Under the Moon" is smooth and flowing, elegant and dynamic, and the key points of the rhythm are undulating like the mountains under the moon. It is smooth and stable when it is excessive, and it lifts people high when it climaxes. It is full of power and technique. The difficulty of completing the movements is high and good, and the state is like the dew that is about to drip from the petals, full of crystal and brilliance.

The final score comes out.

The players from country F even skated a little higher than the players from Canada.

Everyone is about the same level, so it depends on the state of the game. This time, the players from country F are in such a good state that it is not an exaggeration to say that they performed at a super level.

The two hugged excitedly on the scoring bench, their smiles were as bright as the sun, and then joined their teammates amid applause, laughing and hugging excitedly.

Some people fail, some people win naturally, some people cry bitterly, some people naturally celebrate wildly.

The cruelty and charm of the team competition unfolded slowly with the progress of the competition.

The spectators in the stands felt a completely different atmosphere between the team competition and the individual event, and the players in the arena also felt this stronger sense of collision.

Seeing the successful representative team hugging and celebrating, laughing and carnival, to be honest, the Hua Guo team is still very envious.

But who told them that they were unlucky, the women's singles kicked off at the beginning, which put too much pressure on Liu Xiaowen, and even now they felt that the atmosphere was extremely depressing, and they couldn't help thinking wildly.

Worried about not performing well in pairs skating, and also worried about making mistakes in the ice dance in the Olympic Games for the first time, even Su Yu, who has never failed in the men's singles, makes people wonder whether he will lose the crown for some reason .

The team competition is really crazy.

It makes people crazy to celebrate and carnival, but also makes people crazy to feel inferior and suspicious.

But even so, the game had to go on.

When the players from country F finished the competition and went to the scoring table, the pair skaters from country F, Jiang Yangbo and Huo Xuening, were already on the ice, ready to compete.

When the scores of players from country F came out and the rankings on the standings changed, even Jiang Yangbo and Huo Xuening, who were about to compete, couldn't help but look up curiously.
