"Good! So beautiful!"
Lu Tingsong in the audience stood up from his seat, almost scaring Qiu Hai, who was watching the game seriously, away. Qiu Hai covered his chest and said, "No, could you have told me before you got excited?"
"Also, if you don't need your legs, you can donate them to people who need them," Qiu Hai expressionlessly rubbed the thigh bone that was almost broken by Lu Tingsong's slap, "Please slap your own next time."
Lu Tingsong was immersed in the great excitement brought by the successful 3S single jump of Lu You and Xie Yunjun, and didn't care what Qiu Hai said at all.
To be honest, this single jump by the two is a very beautiful jump no matter how you look at it - the blade landing, the difficult slide in and the large and round landing arc. The most rare thing is that the rotation speed and air time of the two are almost the same, which is a very important point to improve scores in pair skating.
Therefore, Lu Tingsong believes that it is not excessive to get a level 4 GOE for this jump.
Generally speaking, a blade landing on the ice is often accompanied by the problem of insufficient rotation. In serious cases, it will directly lead to the downgrade of the jump. If a jump is achieved with a blade landing on the ice, it means that the athlete has turned fully in the air and has completed a full rotation.
A few seconds later, the scores were updated, and Lu You and Xie Yunjun's jump unsurprisingly received a very beautiful score of 5.89.
Not to mention the amazing synchronization rate of the two, this jump, which is comparable to the quality of single skating, is enough to amaze people. The judges of the domestic competition are all local people, so they naturally gave extra points. If they were not afraid that the score of the youth group was too high, several judges even wanted to give the highest GOE of +5.
"The chemistry between these two kids is so good, and their jump difficulty reserve is also quite good." After this jump, the provincial team's jump coach's eyes lit up, "This 3S jump is considered high quality even if it is put into singles skating. When did the club have such a high-level coach? Who brought up this pair of kids?"
"Do you think their spring knees when landing on the ice look familiar?" Jiang Yang muttered, then found the choreography table that was submitted in advance, quickly locked on the column for the coach, and confirmed his guess, "Sure enough, they were trained by Xiao Lu, no wonder their knees when landing on the ice are so soft."
Jiang Yang had coached Lu Tingsong when he was in the national team. Although Lu Tingsong could only be a substitute in the national team all year round due to the difficulty level of his reserves during his service, his signature spring knee was well-known. Just talking about this ice landing technique, even the top male and female single skaters at that time had asked him for advice.
As the name suggests, spring knee refers to the moment when landing on the ice, the athlete's knee is like a spring, which can achieve knee bending and cushioning. Good knee bending and cushioning will not only make a jump look softer and more beautiful, but also help the athlete reduce the impact on the body when landing on the ice.
Looking around the world, spring knees are considered a must-have skill for Japanese figure skaters.
On the contrary, titanium alloy knees are a common problem among big goose players.
"But why are their throws and twists all double-week jumps? This will put them at a disadvantage in terms of basic scores." Someone pointed at the choreography table, "Look, they have 2LoTh (triple loop throw) and 2Tw (double twist) at the end, and there is also a fifth group of lifts."
As soon as this person finished speaking, Lu You and Xie Yunjun on the field just completed a 2Lo throw jump, and it was still a beautiful landing. Unfortunately, looking at the excess height of this throw jump, this jump could have been a triple throw jump, even a simple triple Lutz, and the basic score would have been greatly improved.
After the synchronized rotation and spiral lines of the pairs are completed, the program progresses to the second feature of pair skating, the twist segment.
Provincial team coach: "Forget about the throw jump, but isn't it a bit too much to only do two twists—"
With the accompaniment of a series of piano glissando music, Xie Yunjun gently threw Lu You upwards. After Lu You rolled twice in the air, Xie Yunjun caught him steadily and placed him on the ice.
2Tw is originally a very common two-week twist.
But it was this throw that made the provincial team coach, who was about to complain about the difficulty of their movements, pause.
Because when he was rolling in the air, Lu You's arms were not placed in front of his chest as usual, but his hands were raised above his head. This was clearly a Rippon Twist with his hands raised, and it seemed that there was plenty of excess height. Therefore, no matter what, it would be unreasonable not to give him the highest rating.
Being able to raise your hands while jumping and twisting is considered an advanced operation, and there is no doubt that you will get extra points for GOE.
Although the BV of this Twist 2 is still a little worse than Twist 3 after taking the bonus into account, there is still so much height surplus when raising both hands, which makes people wonder if they practice more, then raising both hands to Twist 3 may not be a dream in the later stage.
——This time, the reason why Lu Tingsong asked Lu You and Xie Yunjun to compete against those older peak-stage combinations that did not advance to the next group and to participate in the Huai City sub-race was essentially to make Lu You and Xie Yunjun feel their presence in front of the provincial teaching team. Therefore, the ranking of this competition is secondary. The most important thing is to let the provincial teaching team see the two's fancy skills and unlimited future.
At present, it seems that this strategy is still very successful. If anyone pays attention to the provincial coaching team, they will find that after Lu You and Xie Yunjun came on the court, the communication between the coaches has obviously increased.
The final finishing move of Lu You and Xie Yunjun was a lift. The two stood back to back with hands clasped. Lu You took a deep breath and was lifted by Xie Yunjun, who jumped lightly up around his side.
In addition to the hand that had to serve as a force point to support Xie Yunjun, Lu You also leaned back and hooked his ice skates with his other hand. His waist was as soft as if he had no bones, forming an inverted C posture, with an expression of both anticipation and excitement on his face.
The little train is whirring and is about to enter the station!
When Xie Yunjun carried him past the position of the coaching team where Jiang Yang was, Lu You blinked and mouthed "we're home". When he caught a glimpse of Xie Yunjun not doing the movements as they had agreed, Lu You maintained his expression and was silently anxious. He quickly scratched the hand that was supporting Xie Yunjun with his fingernails.
Wanting to get away with it, Xie Yunjun had no choice but to put down one hand, stretched out the other hand, and made Superman's iconic punching move.
——There seems to be a hint of resentment in his expression.
Originally, this fleeting expression should have somewhat ruined the joyful atmosphere of the entire performance, but Xie Yunjun was so handsome that people could not help but overlook this small flaw, and even thought that his expression of being forced to die was very funny.
Not only the female coaches couldn't stand it, but even most of the male coaches couldn't keep a straight face.
Ah, these two little ones are so cute!
Xie Yunjun carried Lu You with one hand and flew across half the ice rink in a Superman take-off posture. This 5BLi (5 sets of backward rope lifts) was the last scoring point for them in the required movements. The completion of the lift meant that the difficult technical part of the entire short program had been completed, but for the completeness of the program, they had one last combined rotation.
The essence of a combined rotation is two people hugging each other and spinning in circles. It is a required move in the free skating, but there is no hard and fast requirement to include a combined rotation in the short program. Therefore, Lu You and Xie Yunjun just hugged each other and spun around a few times, and then struck the Ending Pose.
After the music ended, Lu You thanked Xie Yunjun and turned around to hug his arm, saying happily, "We seem to be clean now."
Xie Yunjun raised his elbow and placed it in front of his chest, making it easier for Lu You to hook it. The smile on his lips was shallow but clear: "Yeah."
Because there were not many people watching the game, the applause in the venue was still sparse, but it was obviously much louder than before.
Lu Tingsong clapped his hands until they were broken. He leaned over to Qiu Hai's ear and laughed twice, then quickly escaped before Qiu Hai could no longer bear it and punched him. He walked to the entrance with a smug look on his face to greet Lu You and Xie Yunjun.
He supervised the two children to put on their coats before taking them to the waiting area.
Lu You was using a soft knife sheath with a little yellow chicken doll sewn on the tip of the knife. Lu You found this knife sheath by chance and placed an order for it enthusiastically at the first sight of it. She also bought one for Xie Yunjun, but Xie Yunjun's knife sheath was made in the shape of a little pigeon, which was being worn on his feet at the time.
Kiss&Cry and other partitions.
A coach of the provincial team had been waiting here for a long time. He was estimating the short program scores of Lu You and Xie Yunjun with a piece of paper and a pen. He didn't look up when he heard the sound, but just glanced at them with his peripheral vision. Then he saw a yellow little chick and a gray little pigeon walking briskly into the waiting area.
Lu Tingsong ran after them and shouted, "Lu You! Don't pull Xiaojun so fast, do you want to fly? You're still wearing ice skates! Just cry if you sprain your ankle!"
It was not until he saw the provincial team coach was here that Lu Tingsong strode after him, grabbed Lu You's down jacket hood, and said awkwardly: "Little ancestor, can you be more quiet? The provincial team coach is still here."
Lu You was being held by the collar of fate, and could only fold his hands in front of his stomach and act obediently.
"It's okay, it's okay. Children are at that age when they are noisy," the provincial team coach quickly introduced himself. "Hello, Coach Lu. My name is Qin Siyu. I am the jumping coach of the Jianglin Provincial Team. Coach Jiang didn't come because he had to watch other players' performances later."
"Hello, Teacher Qin, nice to meet you." Lu Tingsong quickly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Qin Siyu.
"The children's scores are about to come out, let's take a look at them first," Qin Siyu said, "We can deal with the rest later."
Lu Tingsong nodded.
The Kiss & Cry area of the Ice and Snow Sports Center was arranged temporarily. I don't know who came up with the idea to put a few high stools in the waiting area. Although Lu You is 13 years old, his height is just over 1.5 meters. After trying for a long time, he couldn't climb up using his hands and feet, and he almost fell down with the stool.
"Xie Yunjun," Lu You felt that this stool was used to go against him, and he was a little angry, "I can't get up."
Xie Yunjun walked behind her and said, "Turn around."
Lu You obediently turned around to face Xie Yunjun, and then Xie Yunjun lifted him up by his armpits, as if he was doing an underarm lift technique, allowing Lu You's buttocks to land steadily on the stool.
After carrying Lu You up, Xie Yunjun returned to his stool, stepped on the beam with his long legs, and sat down easily.
Lu You: “…”
Damn it, she also wanted to be so cool for once!
