At the end of the song, there was thunderous applause.
The announcements from the speakers, the applause from the audience, and the cheers from the coach mixed together, making the entire venue boil.
Lu You struck an ending pose, breathing deeply. Her lungs felt like they were burned by fire after the intense exercise. When she breathed in the cold air, she felt a tearing pain instantly. Her feet went soft and she fell directly onto the ice.
Xie Yunjun reached out to grab it quickly, but he was not much better off as he had overdrawn his strength. Lu You pushed him down and he knelt on the ice, holding Lu You's armpits with his hands, his chest heaving violently.
Lu Tingsong and Jiang Yang were so anxious that they were about to rush over.
Lu You struggled to prop himself up, helped Xie Yunjun brush away the sweaty hair on his forehead, held his face, gently pressed his forehead, and tears fell down in big drops.
"We succeeded," Xie Yunjun wiped away the tears on the girl's face with his fingertips, "Why are you still crying?"
Lu You wiped his eyes fiercely, and punched the boy's shoulder with a crying voice: "Isn't it okay to be happy?"
In the audience, Yamamoto Nanako covered her mouth and couldn't stop her tears from flowing.
With red eyes, she yelled "Tori-chan, Kimi-san, you are my good children!", then rushed to the first row carrying the dolls, scaring the people around her so much that they all moved one meter away.
Nanako Yamamoto pushed the one-meter-tall StellaLou rabbit into the ice rink, then threw Stitch at Xie Yunjun's feet, and jumped and hopped on the spot with her face covered.
Zheng Yao also pulled Xu Yelei to follow closely. After throwing out the doll, she and Yamamoto Nanako hugged each other and screamed.
Lu You picked up Stitch and stuffed him into Xie Yunjun's arms. After helping him up, the two of them completed the unfinished salute.
Before leaving the court, the little girl slid to the edge of the backboard, waved to Yamamoto Nanako, grabbed the big purple rabbit's ears, and dragged it out of the court with a grunt.
After they left, little ice boys came on stage and picked up the remaining flowers and gifts.
As soon as they got out of the baffle, Lu You and Xie Yunjun were pulled into Lu Tingsong's arms.
He held the two children's heads, rubbing them vigorously with anger and excitement: "You have become too independent, right? Who told you that you can increase the difficulty without the coach's knowledge?"
"How dare you use a move whose success rate depends entirely on guessing," Lu Tingsong was terrified. "You guessed it this time, but what if you get hurt? What do you want your uncle to do?"
Lu You hugged his uncle's waist and said in a muffled voice: "Uncle, we don't want to lose."
"This is a competition hosted by our motherland and we want to win the gold medal."
Lu Tingsong's eyes instantly turned red.
Which athlete would be willing to give up the highest medal on his own turf?
Lu You and Xie Yunjun are young, but they are also children born under the red flag and raised in the spring breeze. They also have the belief to let the five stars of China bloom on the ice rink.
Jiang Yang's eyes were a little red. He said "OK, OK" twice and put his coat on the two children.
Beijing time, 1:23 pm.
Countless pairs of eyes were staring at the big scoring screen. When the names of Gua Lu You and Xie Yunjun slowly appeared under the five-star red flag, everyone subconsciously held their breath.
"Short program score 69.81, free skating technical score 62.13, program content score 60.76, total score 192.7..."
Lu Tingsong read out the contents line by line.
"Overall ranking, first."
When he read to the end, his voice was a little shaky. He confirmed it several times, and it still felt a bit like a dream.
In the audience seats, the five-star red flags had already formed a sea of red.
They are number one, the champions, the gold medalists.
For some reason, Lu Tingsong really wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm down, but in order to set a good example for Lu You and Xie Yunjun, he quit smoking last year.
Lu You and Xie Yunjun looked at each other, Xie Yunjun opened his arms, and Lu You rushed in, hugging the boy's neck and screaming softly.
Really did it.
It turns out that until the last moment, everything is really possible!
There was only one gold medal in the competition, some were happy and some were sad. While the Chinese team was so excited that they couldn't contain themselves, Ivlova and Mosokov sighed at the same time.
In fact, they can also do 3FTh, but for them trying 3F is already a risky move. They are afraid of falling, afraid of missing the jump, and afraid of missing the championship because of mistakes in 3FTh.
Because they are afraid of too many things, they don't have the courage to complete this move on the field.
But Lu You and Xie Yunjun had nothing to fear in this desperate situation. They dared to challenge. Even if it would overdraw their physical strength, they had to complete this 3FTh connecting 3F that could allow them to turn the tide.
Evelova said seriously: "It turns out that if you don't try your best, you can't really talk about hard work."
As a female partner in pair skating, she could see that ever since landing from Philips' triple throw jump, Lu You had not dared to use too much force on his right foot when skating, and it was obvious that he was injured somewhere.
Even so, the girl still completed the 3F that required using her right foot to tap the ice.
When the little girl fell onto the ice at the end, it was probably not entirely due to exhaustion; one of the reasons was that her right foot could not support her body.
"Is this kid an iron man? He doesn't feel pain."
Ivlova shook her head and took out a bottle of spray from her backpack. When Lu You and Xie Yunjun came out of the KC area, Ivlova shook the spray in her hand and said in unskilled English: "You, here you go. Hurry up and take care of your ankle."
Lu Tingsong and Jiang Yang looked at Lu You at the same time.
Lu You let out an "ah". He was so happy before that he didn't even notice that his foot had been twisted. Now that he was reminded of this, it seemed to really hurt.
Xie Yunjun took the medicine from Evelova, said "thank you" quickly, then squatted down, untied Lu You's shoelaces and touched inside. Lu You's ankle was swollen.
Xie Yunjun simply squatted in front of Lu You and said, "I'll carry you back."
Xu Yangbing, who was observing from a distance, took a look and immediately smelled the wounded. He grabbed two ice bags and rushed over.
"Why didn't you tell me you sprained your ankle? Xiaojun, you too, you just recovered from exhaustion, get up quickly," Lu Tingsong pulled Xie Yunjun up from the ground and handed him to Jiang Yang, patting his shoulder, "Come on, uncle will carry you."
Evlova said "счастлив", which means happiness in Russian.
It can be seen that Lu You and Xie Yunjun are truly the treasures of the coaching team. Children who train and grow up in such an environment will never be abandoned even if their grades are not good.
In Russia, Evlova has seen too many young players who were abandoned because of their talent. In the past, when she was in the training camp, if she didn't work hard, she would soon be replaced by others.
Fortunately, Mr. Olaf is also a warm and patient person.
Lu You lay on Lu Tingsong's back, and Lu Tingsong carried her all the way to the place where the urine test was done after the game. When the staff helped Lu You out, she was hugged by her uncle again.
Xu Yangbing fed Lu You a pill: "It's for pain relief. You may feel a little sleepy after taking it. You will be fine after a good sleep after the awards ceremony. Be good."
Lu You's nose and eyes were wrinkled in bitterness. He gulped down a few gulps of water and then rushed to attend the award ceremony.
The award ceremony of the World Youth Championship was held immediately after the game. As soon as the lights in the venue were turned off, someone quickly laid out the red carpet and set up the podium on the ice rink.
Lu You had an ice pack tied to her right foot. When she slid into the center of the ice rink, the spotlight shone on her and Xie Yunjun, and the scene immediately broke into warm applause.
Lu You felt like a general who had been wounded in the battlefield and was returning triumphantly, and people lined the streets to welcome him. She was held by Xie Yunjun's hand, and even though her foot was injured, she was restless and turned left and right, waving at the audience.
When they slid to the podium, Xie Yunjun grabbed her waist and lifted her up, then carried her to the podium.
Zheng Yao listened to the crazy shutter sounds around her and said worriedly, "Ms. Yamamoto, are you sure you won't break the camera by pressing it like this..."
Yamamoto Nanako waved her hand and said, "If it breaks, I'll buy another one! Ah, this photo of the hug... let's use it as the cover of the award ceremony video! This time I must write an 800-word essay praising it online."
Nanako Yamamoto held her face in her hands and said, "It's a pity that Tori-chan and Kimi-san don't have their own information website. I can't post all the photos and videos I treasure."
"An information station is like a website, right?" Xu Yelei said, "I can help you make a simple one, but I can only provide a framework. The specific content needs to be filled in by others."
"Really? That's great!" Yamamoto Nanako's eyes lit up. "It doesn't matter in terms of time. There will be a long off-season after the World Youth Games. Just be sure to tell me the website domain name after you're done. I will upload all the first-hand information as soon as possible!"
What Lu You and Xie Yunjun didn't know was that while they were receiving the award, a multinational organization was quietly established...
The only couple who were "lifted" to the podium were Lu You and Xie Yunjun. The silver medalist, Ivlova, stepped up boldly with a step that showed no regard for her relatives.
As for Kavela, when Anatoly was about to reach out and lift her up like Xie Yunjun, the girl had already jumped up by herself.
She turned around and saw Anatoly's hand suspended in the air. She thought her male companion needed a hand, so she pulled Anatoly up with force.
Anatoly: "..."
Caveira inadvertently destroyed a lot of his gentleness, really.
At the award ceremony of the China World Youth Championship, the little ice skaters holding the small trays were all wearing small jackets with Chinese elements, looking cute in the snow and ice. They followed the officials of the Ice Hockey Association closely, trying hard to hold the small trays high.
The chairman of the Ice Hockey Association was the award presenter for this World Youth Championship. When he presented the gold medals to Lu You and Xie Yunjun, he smiled kindly and amiably, with a look of pride, as if he was looking at his great son who had been admitted to Tsinghua University in the college entrance examination.
When presenting awards to the two Russian athletes, the President also spoke many words of encouragement sincerely, fully demonstrating the demeanor of a great country.
"Guests, Chairman, and six contestants, look here, let's take a picture!"
Right in front of the podium, the guy holding the camera waved.
Xie Yunjun took off the olive wreath on her head and placed it on Lu You's head.
Lu You held the trophy in one hand and raised his own small gold medal in the other. He leaned towards Xie Yunjun, tilted his head and smiled sweetly towards the camera.
The smiles of the three pairs of skaters on the podium at the 2020 World Junior Championships were captured on camera.
When they returned to the hotel, Lu You was still carried out of the car by Lu Tingsong.
As she went upstairs, she hung her little gold medal and pressed her face against Lu Tingsong's broad back. She suddenly sighed, "Uncle, when I was a kid, I cried and said I didn't want to continue skating at the ice rink, and you carried me back like this."
"At that time, I was still training for women's singles. I would skate every day after waking up, and skate until I went to bed at night. At that time, I felt that skating was really too tiring."
"Fortunately, I didn't give up." Lu You tilted her head and yawned as the drug took effect. "Fortunately, Xie Yunjun came to our house. Now I feel that skating feels really good."
Lu Tingsong patted Lu You gently and said, "You little brat, why are you suddenly so sentimental?"
He put the person on the bed and tucked the corner of the quilt for his little niece. Lu You stretched out a hand outside the quilt and waved it, and Xie Yunjun naturally held it.
Jiang Yang looked at the two children and sighed from the bottom of his heart: "That's great."
The ice rink under my feet, the national flag in my left hand, and you in my right hand are all my most determined choices.
