I'm still dancing today

Not surprisingly, when the sign engraved with ice dance was held up high by the referee, it seemed that at that moment, the eyes of the audience were all on Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan.

In other words, it was concentrated on the entire team of the Hua Guo team.

Whether it's ice dance or men's singles, the Hua Guo team are two mountains that cannot be circumvented at the moment.

But fortunately, the level of Hua Guo is not average, and the women's singles is too slow. At present, it should not be difficult for them to compete for a medal in the team competition, but to compete for the gold medal... the possibility is still too low.

The shortest pair skating in country E has already been compared, and it is still ranked No.3. The remaining two are their strengths, and it is absolutely impossible to let them fall behind.

Not to mention the average performance of the US team, which looked tepid. They were No.2 at the end of the two rounds, but it is very likely that they won the gold medal of No.1 just like that.

As for the F country team, although they are currently ranked No.1, there is no one in their men's singles, so there is nothing to fear.

It is foreseeable that the final champion will inevitably be produced between the E country and the US team.

Even if the Hua Guo team has two phenomenal athletes, the shortest board has already determined their future.

However, although the Hua Guo team has no hope of winning the championship, it is worth returning to see their phenomenal athletes on the field.Just like Prokova, the famous women's singles player of country E, has countless fans all over the world, the two leading athletes in Hua country are also unrivaled in the limelight, and are crazily loved by ice fans all over the world.

Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan warmed up, and countless eager eyes gathered on them. During the intermission, everyone was paying attention to their every move, and even the audience who were close could not help but cheer for them in the stands.

"KK, Zhou, come on!"

"Looking forward to your new show!"

Some people couldn't help but joke: "I saw Victor!"

"Zhou! I love you!"

Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan remained undisturbed.

After the third game was confirmed, Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan stayed to continue warming up, and Su Yu returned to his seat and sat down.

Zhang Ni walked over, and she hesitated for a moment, not knowing what to say and what to do... These two players are different from others, they are not national players, but they shoulder the work of national players.She respects them and likes them very much, but there is still an unchangeable distance.

"Xia Kai... Xiaoshan..." Zhang Ni hesitated to speak.

Xia Kaikai smiled: "Mr. Zhang, we will skate well."

Zhang Ni nodded: "OK."

Zhang Ni surrounded them and helped them as much as she could. She didn't point out their problems on the court too much, and didn't even mention what level of performance she expected them to perform. She just smiled hard and released her warmth and trust.

That's fine.

The systems are different and the projects are different, so there shouldn't be too much interference. Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan just feel very comfortable. The proper care and enough distance are enough for them to adjust their states according to their own habits.

The halftime break was very short, and Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan's warm-up gradually improved, and the first group of players in the third round entered the field.

It is Canada.

Because the first group is drawn to play, the preparation time for Canada is not too long each time. This seems unfair, but they draw the lottery themselves, and the purpose of arranging the intermission is also to give the players who are drawn to the front Preparation time.

The pair had even more warm-up time on the ice.

Once the maintenance of the ice surface is over, it is also an advantage for them to go on the ice first and get familiar with the ice surface and the environment for a longer period of time.

When the broadcast in the arena sounded again, the arena gradually quieted down. The Canadian pair of athletes also reunited, holding hands and entering the state. Before they started skating, they were smiling and looking at each other affectionately. Finally, it stopped at the logo in the middle of the arena, waiting for the music to play.

I have seen the neat short skirts on the women's singles and pair skaters, but the ice dancer's Kosten is obviously different. It is very long, knee-length, and elegant, and the female skaters can even wear their hair loose without affecting their performance. , When dancing on the ice, the hair is flying, which is more artistic.

Ice dancing is a completely different figure skating event from the other three individual sports. It is less technical and more artistic. It may not be so thrilling and exciting, but it is absolutely beautiful and elegant, which makes people fascinated.

The two froze on the ice, posing in a posture of relying on each other, smiling at the corners of their mouths, waiting for the music to sound.

The two sets of clothing, one black and one red, are in sharp contrast.

The music of "Ubalg's Night" reverberated over the arena three seconds later.

Music from Cuba, a kind of rumba, more famous, belongs to slow rumba, just like "Moulin Rouge", which cannot be avoided in tango, this piece is also a popular song when rumba skating.

The beat is relatively slow, suitable for skating on ice.

The rhythm has ups and downs, and it is easier to create a hot effect.

The key point is that this song is very suitable for the pattern part of the rumba dance in the ice dance short program, and it is very suitable for some skaters who are not very strong.

After all, the tunes that have been well thought out and the dances that the referees can understand are naturally more flattering. As long as the dance is good, the score will not be too low.

The ice dance in Canada is not strong either. The pair are ranked around tenth in the world. They must have put in a lot of hard work for team skating, and they skated pretty well.

Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan didn't go to watch their match. The team competition system is very unpleasant after all. It's better to concentrate on warming up and preparing, and finish your own part.

Both of them even wore earphones, and walked again with the music, focusing on their own world, and had no time to care about others.

After waiting for the Canadian players to finish skating, the Arabella team of the Y country team entered the court.

Arabella is currently the top ice dance athlete in country Y. At present, most of the relatively strong players have played team skating. First, there are many countries with ambitions. Everyone is rushing to win medals in team skating. .

That's right, if the domestic second-tier players are too far behind the first-tier players in strength, and they really have the strength to compete for medals, they will definitely grit their teeth and fight.

Just like Huaguo.

The Olympic Games are held every four years, not only the coaching team does not want to give up, but even the souls of the athletes are clamoring to be better than the last one. No matter you win or lose, you have to do your best to be reconciled.

The Arabella pair is young and very strong. Both are only 23 years old. With the golden age of ice dancers, the two are too young, just like the two brightest stars. In the sky, like a morning star in the night sky.

Definitely the most representative figure of the younger generation.

Sooner or later, he will reach the top of the world championship, and even the Olympic champion.

However, Xia Kaikai crossed over and broke the imminent situation of ice dance in the world. He led the training mad lady Zhou Yueshan to fight horribly, and climbed to the top of the ice dance podium in a short time.

Steal all the limelight from this pair of young players who should have been high-profile.

But even so, the growth of the two is also very fast.

When Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan started skating in the World Championships the year before last, they were still fighting for the bronze medal, but at the World Championships that just ended this year, they won the silver medal.

Without Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan, they would have won No.1.

He is also the youngest ice dance world champion in history.

Both Shengyu and He Shengliang.

Arabella, the younger sisters, hated Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan very much, and regarded them as the greatest enemies in this life, and their future goal in life was to surpass them.

The two's team skating program, "Broken Love" is a new program, but it has changed a lot from the ice dance of the previous two years. Just like their individual program, they put a lot of emphasis on the dance part Through hard work, the sexy and romantic rumbas have been transformed into a pair of oppressive but deeply in love with each other, a little less hot, but a lot more mature and sexy.

Xia Kaikai stared at them for a while when they entered the field, and then looked away.

It's a pretty good program, but the level is just that.

Their program can't beat them, Xia Kaikai has this confidence.He is so familiar with every type of Latin dance, so familiar that he can go deep into the core, and even only need to watch two or three movements to know whether the other party has jumped to the point.

Obviously, the pair of Arabella skated well and their technical moves were good, but there was still a key element missing in the rumba dance.And it is a natural weakness that cannot be made up in a short time.

Zhou Yueshan also glanced distractedly, and then said to Xia Kaikai: "Is it okay?"

Xia Kaikai replied vaguely: "General."

Zhou Yueshan nodded: "It's not as good as your dance."

Xia Kaikai smiled at her, his eyes were very different, not Xia Kaikai's usual appearance, Zhou Yueshan knew at a glance that Xia Kaikai had entered the state of rumba dance, it was extremely charming.It seemed that the words were on the lips, but the pair of young contestants still aroused Xia Kaikai's determination to win and gave him the will to fight.

Zhou Yueshan has always restrained her feelings for Xia Kaikai, but Xia Kaikai who dances Rumba is really different. Xia Kaikai said that he is good at Cha Cha... It is true that Xia Kaikai who dances Cha Cha is very sunny, lively and kind, but when it comes to charming and sexy, Xia Kaikai dancing the rumba can stimulate people's nosebleeds.

Sometimes, when Zhou Yueshan was replaying, she couldn't see herself at all, and her eyes fell on Xia Kaikai. She had never seen a more charming existence than him, not even herself.

It’s not that Zhou Yueshan thinks too much. Every time Xia Kaikai’s man comes over to watch him dance the rumba, his eyes are very different. The deep eyes are full of hunger, thirst, and fire. Zhou Yueshan has no doubt that Xia Kaikai’s The happy life index of the year completely exceeded the standard.

After thinking about it distractedly, Zhou Yueshan suddenly looked forward to their match for a while, she couldn't be the only one who was fascinated, the whole world must be fascinated by Xia Kaikai to balance her heart.

In a blink of an eye, even the contestants from Country R were finished.

Country R's ice dance is worse than Canada's, and its level is a little better than Shen Zhong and Jiang Congnan's.In ice dance, Asian players have never had an advantage, which has something to do with national culture.

After three consecutive competitions, it can be basically confirmed that country R has no hope of entering the free skating.

Other countries know what outstanding players there are in each country.

Zhou Yueshan looked up at the standings when the Ivan team from Country E came on stage.

Halfway through the third round, the standings have undergone tremendous changes.

No. 1: Country Y.

(Women's singles: 7 points. Pair skating: 6 points. Ice dance: 10 points? Total points: 23 points)

No.2: Canada.

(Women's singles: 2 points? Pairs skating: 3 points? Total score: 5 points)

No.10: The nations of Israel.

(Women's singles: 1 points? Pairs skating: 4 points? Total score: 5 points)

Although the first three countries rushed to the front due to one more competition, the strongest countries have not played yet, so these scores are not accurate, and will inevitably decrease a little bit as the game progresses.

With the Ivan combination from country E on the stage, the real battle between dragons and tigers really begins.

When the Ivan team came on stage, the scene was very big, the advantages of the hosts were revealed, and the two were strong in themselves. A short program of "Snow Ridge" was full of power. Although it was not very suitable for the theme of Rumba, their The pattern dance was perfect, and the whole program was completed very well. Coupled with the home court advantage, the referee team finally gave them a slightly higher score.

The score of the Ivan combination is higher than that of the Arabella combination.

As soon as the score came out, the audience cheered.

But the delegation and audience from Country Y were not happy.

"It's not fair! They skate with almost no rumba elements."

"Yes! There is a problem with the score! I want to protest!"

The players of the US team had already warmed up, but the members of the country Y delegation jointly complained that the scores were unfair.

The game was suspended, the Olympic Committee accepted the appeal, and the nine referees and assistant referees resumed the game on the spot and scored again.

The small points were added up one by one on the screen, the corners of the Duke referee's mouth tightened, and he looked carefully, his dark brown eyes were still angry.

Although he is a native of country Y, he is still displeased by the questioning from the team of country Y. This kind of appeal will convey to the outside world a false impression that he is not fair. Even if the appeal is unsuccessful in the end, it will have some impact on his reputation.

But this is the referee's job, and fairness is also the referee's responsibility. The protest of the country Y delegation has some grounds, and he can't ignore it. He wants to tell everyone that the good results of the host players are not given by the referees, but the advantages they have gained in their own country.

The small points of technical points are accumulated successfully.

Then there is the scoring of art points.

Here is a test of the referee's preference and artistic accomplishment, and there may be some fluctuations between the first score and the second score.

Duke watched the show of the Ivan Group again, and the small details that he hadn't noticed before became clearer now. Although the two didn't particularly emphasize the style of rumba, they were quite satisfactory and met the competition standards.Moreover, the dance performance of the two of them is not bad, and the various technical movements are also very good, and the emotional substitution is very deep. Every time I look back, every time I raise my feet, every time I look up, I can feel their love The worship and love of ice, snow and mountains, and the admiration for their own country.

I had been a little negligent in conveying these emotions before.

In the second scoring, Duke was slightly higher than the original score.

The final score was counted, and the score of the Ivan team after the resumption was 0.16 points higher than before.

These errors are allowed.

Anyway, the final score of the Ivan combination is indeed higher than that of the Arabella combination.

Country Y's appeal was unsuccessful, but instead widened the distance between the two teams.

Even though he was still dissatisfied in his heart, he could only calm down and dare not make trouble anymore.

This delay is 10 minutes.

The Alice team from the United States went on the ice to warm up for a while, and then got off the ice to preserve their strength. After sitting for a few minutes, they were notified to go on the ice again, and the competition continued.

The most frustrating thing is them.

There are only two places for ice dance in the United States this year. The three famous ice dancers had to compete before going abroad. In the end, the combination of Alice and Bob was slightly better and won the spot.

The United States is besieged on all sides in figure skating this year. Each individual athlete has the strength to win a medal, but they can't win a gold medal, so they set their sights on the team competition.

This time it was also rare to use strength.

After all, compared with other countries that lag behind in individual events, the United States is the most average in strength, and it is also the easiest to win gold medals in such team competitions.

The figure skating master who has been strong for so many years, although lonely in the past two years, is still ambitious and wants to win a gold medal.

The current situation seems to be very good, now we will see the performance on the ice dance.

The Alice team is getting old, but they have a good quality of heart. After coming down from the throne of champions, they have regressed year by year, and their confidence in skating to retirement has not been knocked down. What is most frustrating is that even if they all regress Yes, it even ranks first in the country.

This proves that the ice dance in the United States is gradually becoming a shortcoming.

Sure enough, Alice's combination was smooth and stable, but no matter how you look at it, it lacked passion and charm, which made people drowsy.

It's like the original delicious food. I don't know whether my taste has changed or they are changing silently. In short, it gradually becomes tasteless and a pity to discard.

The final score comes out.

Although this pair of American players performed very steadily in terms of technical points and scored all the points that should be scored, it was difficult to break through in artistic points. With an average score of 8.3, they have already ranked at the top among the world's top players. at last.

Temporarily ranked third, behind the teams from country E and country Y.

The two veterans looked bitter after getting off the ice, and smiled lightly in the face of teammates' hugs and encouragement.From Xia Kaikai's point of view, Beria, who was sitting on the bench, watched Alice's combination get off the ice and return to the team with squinting eyes. Then he rolled his eyes, said something to Bob beside him, and finally smiled. Trembling.

Xia Kaikai closed his eyes, stopped looking, bent over and put on his skates slowly.

The United States can be regarded as the birthplace of ice dance. In the early years, even one country won three gold, silver and bronze medals. Who knew that it has declined so fast in the past two years, so shocking.

After putting on the skates, Xia Kaikai stood up, joined Zhou Yueshan, and headed for the entrance.

Teammates along the way cheered for them: "Xia Kai, come on! Xiaoshan, come on!"

"Miss Kai Geshan, come on and win No.1!"

"You're fine, we'll wait for your triumphant return!"

"Come on! Come on! Come on!" Wu Yi was always the liveliest and most enthusiastic, standing up and pumping his fists to encourage them, and even seeing them off, knowing that he couldn't get in, so he stopped.

Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan smiled and waved at their teammates, then turned and left.

They stood at the entrance and exit, silently waiting for the players from country F to finish the match.

After the dismantling of the ice dance champion combination Ann and Andrew in Country F, the country's ice dance events were a bit out of date for a while. It's quite satisfactory, there is no major problem, but there are no bright spots, and it still makes people want to sleep.

Xia Kaikai was waiting to play, but he didn't let himself relax. He kept exercising to keep his body warm.

After squatting down and getting up again, he looked up at the VIP seats in the auditorium. Even though there were so many people in the audience, he still saw Mu Yuan at a glance and knew that Mu Yuan was looking at him.

The eyes of the two met in the air, lingering for a while, and then reluctantly parted.

Xia Kaikai placed the lingering affection sent by Mu Yuan in his heart, and when he raised his head again, his eyes became bright and firm, and in an instant, it was as if all the stars in the sky were pouring into his eyes, which were extraordinarily bright.

Then hooked the corners of his mouth and pursed his lips into a smile.

It's time to play.

Just let them see what a rumba is.

This smile was seen by Zhou Yueshan at close range, and then she raised her eyebrows.

Sure enough, this is entering the state, right?

Tsk!It's crazy!

Zhou Yueshan is obsessed with Xia Kaikai. Different dances have different personalities and states. When skating the waltz, she is a prince or aristocrat. When skating the bullfight dance, she becomes a heroic and handsome Spanish matador. A big sunny boy, when he gets to Rumba... Hehe... He's like a cowherd in a night show, full of provocative and coquettish male hormones.

I really want people all over the world to see that Xia Kaikai can hold up the whole dance by herself, it's just a show!

Probably because she was too impatient to let ice fans all over the world see Xia Kaikai's Rumba, and she was about to play, but Zhou Yueshan was not nervous at all, and even had to work hard to suppress her emotions because she was too excited.

calm.

To calm down.

After waiting for the "veteran" pair from Country F to finish skating, Zhou Yueshan and Xia Kaikai took off their coats and handed them to Zhang Ni, then began to adjust their breathing. When the notification sounded, the two held hands and took a deep breath. Zhanyan smiled and slid on the ice.

"Papa papa!" applause sounded.

It's really hot.

This kind of thunderous sound can only be enjoyed by the host players, but Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan went on stage, and it was even worse.

But two years.

Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan monopolized the gold medal in the competition, and they were invincible.

This kind of tough posture is the most popular among sports fans. Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan have harvested countless fans all over the world. Even in ice dance powerhouses like E country and the United States, there are still a large number of fans chasing Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan.

Strong is strong.

Beauty is beauty.

If you are moved and like them, you will naturally pay attention to them, chase after them, and even go to the scene of the competition to give them applause.

The earth-shaking applause did not disappear for a long time, and it lasted much longer than the host player's appearance. It was not until the two of them skated around and were about to start the competition that the scene became quiet.

Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan looked at each other, took a deep breath, adjusted their posture, and prepared for the competition.
