Lu You reacted quickly. The moment his butt touched the ice, he rolled over and climbed up from the ice, continuing with the next action.
On the big screen, the score of this jump jump is updated in real time.
Base Value: 5.00
Grade of Execution: -2.5
The judges all gave a GOE of -5. According to the current GOE calculation rules, Lu You and Xie Yunjun, the 3LoTh, lost half of their points.
Falling is a very serious mistake in the technical movements of figure skating. No matter how quickly Lu You reacts from falling to getting up, falling is falling, and it will not help no matter how fast he gets up.
If they could have a noble nationality in the figure skating world, the judges might not deduct all five points in international competitions on the grounds that "there are other bonus points to offset it." However, as holders of yellow-skinned Asian nationalities, this privilege obviously does not belong to them. Moreover, this competition is a domestic championship, and Lu You and Xie Yunjun are the first combination to appear in front of the judges, so there is no room for courtesy in front of the judges. As soon as Lu You sat down, his GOE was deducted completely.
Oh, it seems one judge gave a GOE of -4, but that was wiped out when the highest and lowest scores were removed.
The music was still going on. The performance was only two-thirds complete at this point, leaving no time for people to think too much. Fortunately, the rhythm of the performance was not disrupted too much, and Lu You and Xie Yunjun were not out of touch with the music.
Competitions in the youth group are often more state-reliant than those in the adult group, as this depends on the teenagers' ability to regulate their emotions. After all, they are just a group of children who are still in junior high school. Other children will cry loudly because they did not do well in the final exam. Therefore, it is common in the youth group for a mistake to affect their mentality and lead to a complete collapse in the later stage.
At times like this, Lu You and Xie Yunjun's mental advantages of being as steady as a rock were fully demonstrated.
The two of them did not dwell on their recent mistake at all, but completed the next five sets of Axel lifts in an orderly manner, and Lu You still had a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened. Before entering the combined rotation, Xie Yunjun looked at the place on Lu You's coat that was covered with ice due to the fall with some concern. Lu You blinked to indicate that he was fine.
The last movement is the joint rotation.
Lu Tingsong was so frightened by the fall that his heart almost jumped out of his chest. He clasped his hands together and said, "Please bless them and make sure they count enough circles."
Jumping into a squatting turn, Lu You lowered his head and wrapped his arms around Xie Yunjun's waist, then raised his legs in rhythm to change into a swallow style, and finally into an upright rotation.
Because of his small size, Lu You was almost completely covered under Xie Yunjun when doing the combined spin. He looked like a baby kangaroo in its mother's pouch. The uncles and aunts in the audience quickly got over their regret for the mistake and they were all screaming because of how cute he was.
The symphony stopped after an accent. Lu You hooked his hand around Xie Yunjun's neck, stepped on his thigh with the ice skates, stretched out his little hands and raised his chin, and posed for the end with an "I'm so cool" expression on his face.
Little did she know that no matter what she did, her childish face would be filtered through the audience's filter and would be followed by the suffix "really cute".
For example, right now, the audience is thinking: The kid must think he is very cool, so cute.
Free skating consumes a lot of physical energy of athletes. Even Lu You and Xie Yunjun, who have never stopped physical training, took several deep breaths to relax after the performance, then left the ice holding hands, took the holster handed over by Lu Tingsong and walked towards the Kiss & Cry area.
The divisions of the National Championships were much more normal than those of the club league. At least there were no high stools to embarrass the short guys. Lu You and Xie Yunjun walked to the sofa and sat down. Seeing the camera sweeping over, Lu You very smoothly took Xie Yunjun's arm and blew a kiss to the camera.
mua~
The little girl put her hands on her pink lips and blew kisses towards the camera. Her eyes were curved like black grapes. She was unwilling to let go of her male partner even when she blew a kiss, so her male partner had to constantly adjust his body angle to cooperate with her. When the audience saw the broadcast from the waiting area, they all lost their composure.
The pair skating partners are really double the cuteness!
Even Jiang Yang couldn't help but sigh: "They both have such a good mentality. They are so happy even after a big fall. If you don't know, you would think they are clean."
Lu Tingsong said he was used to it. Every time he competed, he felt like a typical example of the eunuch being anxious while the emperor was not. He was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks in the audience, while the parties involved, Lu You and Xie Yunjun, were just doing what they were supposed to do as if nothing had happened.
"Lu You & Xie Yunjun from Jianglin Provincial Sports Bureau scored 114.87 points in the free skating "Frozen Symphony" and a total score of 178.01 points in this competition, securing the championship of the Youth Group of the National Championships!"
Before the announcement was made, the scores had already been updated on the electronic big screen. The technical score of "Frozen Symphony" was 56.91, and the performance score was 58.96, with 1 point deducted. This was a rare phenomenon where the performance score was higher than the technical score.
Generally speaking, this situation often occurs because the referee favors a player from a certain country, so when the technical score is not good enough, he will secretly increase his performance score to ensure that his favorite player is not surpassed by unpopular players. As for the appearance of today's overhead kick, I don't know whether the referee really recognized the performance of Lu You and Xie Yunjun, or simply wanted to make the score look better.
As for domestic scoring, naturally, the team’s own players are given priority. It is for this reason that the scores of domestic competitions are generally not used as data for season analysis.
In this way, combined with the scores of yesterday's short program, Lu You and Xie Yunjun's scores ranked first in the National Championships.
They were originally the last to perform, and getting first place in the total score meant winning the championship. Lu Tingsong, who was sitting next to them, clenched his fists and pressed them down, trying hard to suppress his excitement and not to get excited in front of the camera.
After all, I have been on the national team before. It’s a small scene, so there’s no need to be too happy.
Lu Tingsong thought so in his heart, but the corners of his mouth curled up wildly.
I don’t know if it’s a feng shui issue, but the free skating of the youth group in the National Championships was like a wrestling match. Each group of players either had an accident here or made a mistake there. Throughout the entire game, there wasn’t a single clean combination. This curse continued into the men’s singles competition. Even Lin Yinian, who was regarded as the rising star in the Chinese men’s singles, landed unsteadily on the ice during a triple Axel jump and had to reach out to support the ice.
Lin Yinian's costume today was still pink. He seemed to have a special preference for pink. In order to match the free skating program "Spring Cherry Blossom Banquet", Lin Yinian's costume was embroidered with bunches of cherry blossoms. Matching the earrings and his already soft and beautiful face, he looked like a flower fairy dancing on the ice, and he won the men's singles championship while skating.
After coming out of Kiss & Cry, Lin Yinian ran over and high-fived Xie Yunjun and Lu You.
Jiang Yang looked at the skinny boy in front of him who was happily chatting with his two young skaters. Suddenly, an idea came to him and he stood up with a smile: "Your name is Lin Yinian? How long have you been practicing figure skating?"
Lin Yinian subconsciously hid behind Xie Yunjun.
Lu You introduced him: "This is Coach Jiang from the Jianglin Provincial Team. After Xie Yunjun and I joined the Provincial Team, we both received guidance from Coach Jiang. The one next to him is my uncle, who has been coaching single skaters more in the Provincial Team recently."
Only then did Lin Yinian politely greet the two of them.
Lu Tingsong and Jiang Yang exchanged glances, and they both understood each other's meaning. Lu Tingsong smiled as brightly as a flower: "I heard that you learned from Guan Lin? Guan Lin's lessons are very expensive, and you have just become a coach not long ago, so you still lack experience in training men's singles. How about this, what do you think of me?"
Lin Yinian: “?”
"Although my performance in service is not as good as Guan Lin's, I have at least seven or eight years of experience as a coach. And if you think I'm not good enough, there are many other coaches in our Jianglin Provincial Team for you to choose from." Lu Tingsong said.
Jiang Yang nodded and introduced all the coaches on his team. "Do you prefer the one who won the bronze medal in the World Championships or the one who won the silver medal in the Four Continents? If you like both, you can let them come and give you a try first."
The third day of the National Championships includes team competitions. Every year's team competitions are basically a battle between the three major sports bureaus of Jianglin Province, Xinluo Province and the capital. However, it has little to do with the young players in the youth group. After watching the excitement and getting their own little signs, everyone will go home.
The president of the National Skating Association who came to present the awards at this National Championships was a gentle middle-aged woman who had competed in international pairs skating competitions with her male partner and won many honors. When presenting the awards to Lu You and Xie Yunjun, she encouraged them, "Two little friends, keep doing your best in the upcoming Grand Prix."
The winner of the National Championships will represent the country in the new season. This is the rule for selecting domestic players for international competitions.
Although she knew that she was no longer in a good condition to represent the country, Si Nan still couldn't help feeling sad. The chairman of the National Ice Hockey Association hung the silver medal around her neck and patted Si Nan on the shoulder: "Every athlete will encounter this hurdle, it's just a matter of time. What's important is not success or failure, but whether you can stand up again after failure."
“It is no use standing still and blaming yourself when others are running at full speed.”
“Figure skating is a difficult road, but we have to keep going even though we know it’s difficult.”
Si Nan and Xu Zhen both nodded seriously.
Seeing this, Lu You also pulled Xie Yunjun to nod. Although she didn't hear clearly what the Chairman said, nodding was the right thing to do in this situation.
An interesting thing happened after this year's National Championships. Jianglin Province and Xinluo Province both extended olive branches to Lin Yinian. The two major ice skating provinces seemed determined to win over this talented young men's singles player. For this reason, half a month after the National Championships, Jiang Yang did not forget to talk to Lu You and Xie Yunjun during his training, hoping that the two could trick Lin Yinian into joining the Jianglin Province team to play around first.
Lu You and Xie Yunjun were doing plank exercises with their feet on yoga balls. Over there, Jiang Yang was already dreaming that after Lin Yinian joined the provincial team, Jiang and Lin would work together in this season's A-level competition and win a lot of medals - of course, it was just a dream. After all, in figure skating, even if the difficulty reserve is top-notch in the world, there is no guarantee of getting a good ranking.
Things change rapidly on the field, and promises cannot be made lightly.
Lu Tingsong walked in with a stack of information: "The results of the Youth Grand Prix are out."
"Except for Nagoya and the US Grand Prix, the remaining six stations are all in Europe. Youyou and Xiaojun will participate in the Japanese Grand Prix and the Finnish Grand Prix."
