Now that we have found the problem, we need to find the right remedy to solve it.
In a throw jump, the female partner must rely on the male partner for support at the moment of being thrown out, which means that the center of gravity and axis of the jump are not completely under her control. Therefore, the Rippon posture that Lu You often uses to control the axis is unlikely to be achieved in the throw jump.
The posture commonly used by female athletes is to cross their arms in front of their chest with fists clenched. This is recognized as the easiest posture for female athletes to maintain body stability during jumping.
But it is obvious that Lu You is not a normal person.
"It's too difficult to raise your hands in a throw jump, try other positions," the female coach said, "Lu You, you can try to find the most comfortable jumping position for yourself in the subsequent practice. You don't have to use the standard fist-clenching position."
With the coach's permission, Lu You completely let herself go and began her fancy jumps, including hugging her shoulders, hugging her arms, and putting her hands one after the other against her chest and rhomboid muscles on her back. But without exception, the final outcome was that her butt kissed the ground and she fell so hard that she saw stars.
The training ground of the Jianglin provincial team is open to the public on weekends and is closed from Monday to Friday to reserve the venue for athlete training. Therefore, there are also some basic classes such as figure skating and ice hockey open to the public on the ice rink.
These classes were filled with little kids under ten years old. Seeing Lu You fall so badly, several of them were so scared that they lost interest in figure skating and said with sad faces that they didn't want to learn it anymore.
The coach of the kindergarten class squatted down, touched the head of a little girl who didn't want to go on the ice, and pointed at Lu You who had just climbed up in the distance: "Niuniu, this sister is the one you just saw on the big screen at the gate, the one wearing a beautiful performance costume."
The little girl looked at Lu You, who was wearing a black training suit and rubbing his butt with a grin, and tried to recall the person in the previous video. She pouted and said, "No! That sister was wearing a blue skirt, so beautiful! She was not like this in the video!"
"That sister jumps like a fairy! She doesn't keep falling down like this!"
coach:"……"
"Look, is that the brother next to you the one you saw in the video? They are a pair skating partner," the coach patiently guided her, "Niuniu, do you know what a partner is? Once you hold hands, they will never let go. They will skate together forever."
Niuniu thought for a moment and said, "Is it like the prince and princess in fairy tales who stay together forever?"
The coach nodded and said, "And the brothers and sisters are practicing new moves to win glory for the country. Look, your sister didn't complain even after falling like this. Is Niuniu still afraid to step onto the ice now?"
Seeing the little girl showing a tangled expression, the coach struck while the iron was hot: "Niuniu, do you want to have a partner like Prince Brother?"
The little bean looked at Lu You and Xie Yunjun's tightly held hands and said in a soft voice, "Yes."
After saying this, she seemed to have made up her mind, and stepped onto the ice with her short legs, tremblingly.
"Then you have to work hard," the coach smiled, "Come on, let's line up, and then the coach will teach you how to draw gourds with ice skates, okay?"
The coach pushed the little girl to the end of the line and then began to explain the first move most people learn to skate - drawing the gourd.
After the explanation, the children lined up and moved their legs awkwardly, just as the teacher said, spreading and closing their legs to draw brackets on the ice. Everyone drew crookedly, and the gourds they drew were of strange shapes.
If you are not careful, someone might fall flat on his face.
The coach quickly helped the man up and comforted him.
They also don’t know how many of these kids will eventually pursue a professional career, maybe less than one in ten, or maybe just one. But the coaches always believe that a star that will shine on the field in the future may be hidden among these kids who are still just drawing.
Although they are just entry-level coaches, one of the many on the ice rink, they cannot provide guidance on difficult moves or make effective suggestions on the players' program arrangements, but they can do their best to lay a solid foundation for every child who has the potential to become a professional athlete and become their guide to touch the threshold of figure skating.
In this way, when they stand at the top and recall their figure skating journey, they will also remember that in the beginning, there was a coach whose name they could not remember, who gently and patiently taught them how to draw a beautiful little gourd.
Because that’s where the dream begins.
Lu You and Xie Yunjun’s ice training did not end until 11:30 in the morning. Because it was the weekend, they did not need to go to school, so their training schedule for the past two days was packed.
In addition to dancing and core strength training in the afternoon, the two also have to take time to go to Xu Yangbing for physical therapy.
With the precedent of two pairs of active combinations in the adult group suffering from numerous injuries, the provincial team has been focusing on the physical care of Lu You and Xie Yunjun almost since they were young. After all, the domestic pair skating is counting on these two children and Sinan and Xu Zhen to take over. If they are ruined by injuries before they are promoted to the adult group, where will everyone go to find two more such good seedlings?
Speaking of Si Nan and Xu Zhen, Lu You only remembered that the exchange training of this pair of seniors in the national team was about to end, and they should return to the provincial team soon.
In a dozen days, it will be the most important Spring Festival in the country. The provincial team training center has been beautifully decorated. When Lu You and Xie Yunjun went to eat, even the entrance of the cafeteria was pasted with Spring Festival couplets.
Most of the people who came off the ice to eat at this time were from the figure skating team. Although the Jianglin provincial team was famous for figure skating, it actually also had short track speed skating, ice hockey, curling, etc. The short track speed skating team also performed well, but ice hockey... let's not talk about it.
It’s not that everyone doesn’t train hard, it’s just that Asians’ petite bodies are not naturally suitable for playing a highly confrontational sport like ice hockey.
If golf is the most gentlemanly sport in the world, then ice hockey is undoubtedly the most barbaric sport. Its intensity is so intense that even rugby cannot match it. It is very normal for fights to occur on the field.
Moreover, both the officials and the fans have tacitly accepted that fighting is a part of the ice hockey game. An ice hockey game without fighting is incomplete, and the audience will not even buy it.
Therefore, there is a special position in every ice hockey team, called "fighter" or "executor". What they have in common is that although they do not have excellent defensive and offensive abilities, they are all tall and strong, and their main job is to contract fighting, that is, to be the bodyguards of the core players.
As long as the opponent dares to touch their core players or scorers during the game, the executor will jump out at this time, take off his protective gear, throw away the club and other unnecessary equipment, and start a 1V1, fist-to-flesh fight.
Interestingly, there is a standard procedure for fighting in ice hockey. First, the two sides will have a series of physical contact and eye contact, and politely reach a consensus that "it's time to fight". Then the referee will withdraw to make room, and the fight will officially begin after the players from both sides are ready to fight.
Once one of the two sides loses the fighting capacity, the referee will return to the court to separate the two sides, and then give a painless "five-minute suspension" penalty.
It is also because of this that some ice hockey players are often more popular in Europe and the United States than NBA star players, while in world competitions, Asian teams generally find it difficult to achieve results due to natural body size differences.
After the figure skating team filed into the cafeteria, a male singles player said "Damn it" to the empty food window and shouted to the ice hockey team who were eating together: "You guys are too cruel. You didn't leave us anything."
The cafeteria auntie said with a smile: "The new dishes are already in the pot, just sit and wait for a while, it will be ready soon."
After the aunt finished speaking, she glanced at Lu You and Xie Yunjun. Probably thinking that no one should let the children go hungry, she took out two big red oranges and stuffed them into their stomachs to fill their stomachs first.
Lu You said sweetly, "Thank you, Auntie," and the cafeteria auntie was instantly overjoyed and even more energetic in cooking.
"You hear me? Why are you in such a hurry?" someone from the ice hockey team joked. "You jugglers are used to going hungry, aren't you?"
It is said that a few years ago, the provincial team had not yet built an ice hockey stadium, and the entire provincial team had only one ice rink for players to train, so the figure skating team and the ice hockey team often competed for the venue.
Over time, because of the daily competition for venues, the athletes of the two events had a relationship where they would always bicker with each other whenever they met. The figure skating team often called the ice hockey team "the ball players", and the ice hockey team, not to be outdone, gave the figure skating team the nickname "the jugglers".
As they hadn't eaten yet, the figure skating team found a place to sit down. When they looked up, they found that the ice hockey team were watching the figure skating competition.
When everyone saw the match schedule, they were instantly delighted. Isn't this the All-Russian Championship?
If we were to say which figure skating competition is the most watched during the A-level window period between the Grand Prix and the World Junior and World Championships, it would definitely be the All-Russian Figure Skating Championships, where the best of the best compete.
Someone from the figure skating team joked, "Why, are you looking at the girlfriends of the other team again?"
In Dayue, there are a lot of female figure skaters who are in love with ice hockey players, so the ice hockey team of Jianglin Province will also pay special attention to the All-Russian Championships. Everyone thinks that when the camera scans the audience, you can see the amorous face of one of the opponents in there.
And as the saying goes, there are thousands of beautiful women in competitive sports, and half of them are figure skaters. Who wouldn't like to watch beautiful women and handsome men skating?
After the dishes were cooked, Lu You and Xie Yunjun sat down with their plates. Because they were in the growing period, in addition to the standard meals, they would also have an extra steamed egg and a large glass of milk every day. This was also what the provincial team leaders had specifically instructed the canteen about.
Lu You ate until his belly was bloated almost every day, and then he was forced to train crazily to convert these calories into firm muscles.
The youth and adult groups of the All-Russian Championships were competed together, and Russia's youth female singles players have always been known for their ferocity. In the end, when everyone saw that the ranking of the youth group players directly beat the adult group, they all had an expected expression on their faces.
"It's a pity that the blooming period of women's singles is too short." Someone sighed, "Every generation of Olympics has its own people. The Russian women's singles player who won the gold medal in the last Winter Olympics was only 16 years old when she won the Grand Slam. Now she is in a semi-retired state."
"I don't know which Russians will make it to the Olympics next year."
When talking about the Winter Olympics of the following year, everyone's expressions became serious. After all, this Olympics was held at home, and the real gold medal opportunities for flower planting could be counted on one hand.
Although gold medals are not the only criterion for measuring an athlete's value, as the host country, the people and leadership naturally expect the athletes to win more gold medals.
Currently, in the snow events, the events with greater potential for winning gold medals include big air, slopestyle, halfpipe and men's and women's aerials. As for the ice events, short track speed skating, once China's gold mine, is not doing well in this cycle. The only relatively stable event is the 2,000-meter mixed relay.
It can be said that China's previous situation of "strong ice and weak snow" has completely reversed in this Olympic season.
This means that a large part of the pressure on ice events is placed on pairs skating.
Jiang Ran and Yu Botao from Team One won gold medals, while Nie Hanhan and Han Feiyang from Team Two retained bronze and competed for silver. This is the goal set by the top management for the national team.
