Because it was the first performance of the adult group, the final performance score of the short program "Beauty and the Beast" was not high, with a total score of 69.01, ranking fourth in the short program.
The top three are Canada, the United States and Georgia.
Jiang Yang and Qin Siyu were mentally prepared and calmly accepted the score of less than 70 points.
"TES (technical score) 40.59, PCS (program content score) is only 28.42, the referee's score is really good," Joyce's friend Burton curled his lips, "Didn't you see the enthusiastic reaction of the audience after the performance? At least give the performance a score starting with three."
"The previous Sleeping Beauty, which was also a fairy tale, received a P score of 32."
"But that Sleeping Beauty set is really relevant. It almost made me fall asleep while watching it."
"Hey, Joyce, are you listening to me?" Bolton waved his hand in front of Joyce. "What are you thinking about?"
Joyce blinked his sapphire eyes and raised his head: "Burton, I like this girl with black hair and black eyes."
Bolton: “…”
"My friend, wake up. Look at how intimate that girl and her boyfriend are," Bolton pointed at the two people who were still holding hands after the game. "This is destined to be a rose from the other side of the ocean that you can't get."
Joyce: "What do you think Chinese girls like?"
Bolton: "..." You didn't hear me at all, did you?
Burton was also troubled by his friend's character. In figure skating, Joyce was a rare talented player among American men's singles, but when it came to emotional issues, he was definitely a pure love-brained person.
For his ex-girlfriend, Joyce gave up the figure skating he had practiced since childhood, just to live on campus with his girlfriend and apply to the same university. However, life is often like a roller coaster. Before his dream of entering university life with his girlfriend could be realized, he was ruthlessly dumped.
Well, the reason was that the girl felt that Joyce, with his height of 1.7 meters, was not manly enough.
If Joyce's former coach hadn't caught her back and brought her back to practice figure skating again, she would probably still be immersed in the sadness of a broken heart.
Bolton silently lit a candle for his good friend in his heart. No matter how he looked at it, the way the Chinese group looked at each other was different.
That was not the kind of ambiguity that ordinary pair skaters deliberately pretended to please the judges, but their hearts and eyes were truly filled with each other.
There is a saying in China: That is what is in the heart, the scenery in the eyes, and the person in the mind. Bolton thinks it is very appropriate to describe them.
Even though the feelings between them cannot be called love now, but 80% of them will be moving in the direction of love in the future!
Thinking of this, Burton looked at Joyce with a hint of pity in his eyes.
After the short program, Lu You and Xie Yunjun were randomly selected for doping testing.
The two handed the ice skates to the coaches, while Jiang Yang and Qin Siyu took out some biscuits and a few bottles of mineral water from the backpacks they brought.
Jiang Yang instructed: "Originally, the top three were to be tested, but you were randomly selected. The urine test procedure for the adult group is the same as that for the youth group."
"Don't let food and water out of your sight, and don't eat or touch anything you don't know where it came from."
Lu You and Xie Yunjun both nodded. Before the debut competition of the adult group, Jiang Yang and Lu Tingsong had already held a special meeting for the two of them.
When I reached the adult group, there were many things I needed to pay attention to. There weren't so many twists and turns when I was in the youth group, but once I entered the adult group with more conflicts of interest, many things changed.
For example, athletes’ water cups and ice skates are things they must never let go of.
We should not have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against others. Figure skating is not all about the fun that everyone sees. While the athletes train hard and travel around the world to compete, they also have to be wary of the dark hands hiding in the dark.
Athletes who inexplicably tested positive for doping and were disqualified, or whose ice skates suddenly broke for unknown reasons, these things have actually happened in the past.
The ice surface is pure and flawless, but this circle is not. All the players can do is to protect themselves as much as possible.
Lu You and Xie Yunjun went to different lounges respectively accompanied by volunteers. The volunteer accompanying Lu You was an Italian girl who not only spoke fluent English but also Chinese. She was also very tactful and stayed away from the contestants' water bottles and food.
Lu You held a bottle of water and drank it like crazy, then walked around the lounge a few times. When he felt that he was almost done, he was taken to the WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) officials and taken to a special room.
The sampling speed for an event of the scale of the Lombardy Cup is very fast, unlike the World Championships and the Olympics which take several hours. After Lu You completed a series of procedures, he climbed onto the round-trip bus.
There is a 40-minute drive between the competition venue and the hotel where the contestants are staying. As soon as the bus stopped, the Canadian and American male partners who ranked first and second in the short program rushed out of the bus and flew into the hotel at an astonishing speed.
Jiang Yang raised his eyebrows: "Did you drink too much water?"
Qin Siyu was still looking at the two people's score sheets. Hearing this, he continued, "I heard that these two had just gone to the bathroom before the game, and after the small medal award ceremony, they drank four bottles of water for testing."
"In recent years, doping tests have been so strict, but some people still frequently violate the ban, not just in figure skating, but in all sports," Jiang Yang sighed. "That stuff is so harmful to the body, I don't know how those people can bear to let their children take drugs."
"Who knows?"
Qin Siyu raised his mobile phone, took two photos of the score sheet and sent them to the provincial team group and the national team head coach Jiang Yang respectively. That night, the score sheet was moved to a certain website, a certain bar and a figure skating-related forum.
[Lombardy Cup] The score table of the childhood sweethearts adult group debut is freshly released~
[I'm the dog-killing referee. Lu Xie's 3F, what can be faulted in terms of blade use, difficult entry, soft knees, and synchronization rate? Even if the ice landing was a little tight, there was no loop. Is a GOE of 0.45 points for beggars? ]
[Does anyone think that this PCS of 28.42 is also outrageous? Although it is the customary practice to suppress the score for the first show, it is too much, isn’t it? What happened to the agreement that the P score follows the T score? ]
[Which department are judges 3, 7, and 9 from? They all gave 0 points for GOE. Are you serious? ]
[@ISU International Skating Union, come out and get beaten, will you send a warning letter? ]
[I can't send it, all three referees gave it low marks, tired eyes.jpg]
[The difficulty of LX is too high. I got 4 levels straight down, and it was clean. If I played this wave normally, I would have taken off directly. There are still two American and European players in front who need to be protected. ]
[Don't get close to the scoring items, you will become unlucky, Sa Beining is breathing oxygen.jpg]
[Off topic, the two sets of Costen last season were called Kongsan and Xueji, so what should this new Costen be called this season? 】
[Upstairs, the name has been voted on, it made me laugh to death, everyone said it should be called Blueberry Egg Tart. ]
【？ ？ ？】
[One yellow and one blue, together they look like blueberry tarts! How wonderful! ]
[Not only the nicknames of the costumes of "Beauty and the Beast" have been released, but the name of the costumes of "Jackson Hyde" has also been decided after the last ice show, which is called "Schizophrenia", or "Split-Threat".]
[What the hell is schizophrenia? Hahaha! I laughed so hard that I crawled on the ground. ]
[Be content. Previously, some fans suggested calling it Tianmo (Angels and Demons), but it was rejected because it was too rustic. ]
[Fuck, netizens can really come up with all kinds of stupid names. ]
[My family, I am so amused. After the well-known Chinese artist "Yan" drew fan art for her childhood sweetheart, someone is now writing fan fiction about Lu and Xie. ]
[What fan fiction! That was my spiritual food before I became an adult! Thank you for the gift from nature.]
In the online discussion forum, there was a lot of discussion about the Lombardy Cup, but Lu You and Xie Yunjun had no access to this information. In order to keep a calm mind and not be affected by certain remarks, they usually did not pay attention to these fan discussion forums.
Lu You returned to his room and fell asleep on the bed to conserve his energy for the free skating the next day.
Free skating can often make a bigger difference than the short program. In addition to changing the synchronized rotation into a joint rotation and the connecting steps into choreographed steps, there will be one more throw jump, one combination jump and two lifts than in the short program.
The second day.
Bergamo Central Ice Rink, Italy.
Lu You wore the free skating costume named "Split" by ice fans, held up the certificate and bronze medal, stood beside Xie Yunjun and smiled at the camera.
After the media finished taking pictures, Lu You stood on the stage, hooked his arms around Xie Yunjun's neck, and was carried down the podium by Xie Yunjun.
The reporter who had just put on the lens cap immediately turned around and started taking pictures.
The self-reliant Canadian and American female partners all showed an expression that said, "Now the Chinese group has to take down even the third place platform?"
When they reached outside the barrier, Lu You happily hugged Xie Yunjun's waist and rocked her like a little koala. Xie Yunjun touched her hair and hung her medal around the little girl's neck.
Lu You kissed both himself and Xie Yunjun’s third place medals.
That’s a full 203 points in the world rankings!
Their free skating performance was the fourth to last. Originally, according to Lu You, her and Xie Yunjun's free skating performance today could only be described as mediocre. Coupled with the poor performances of GOE and PCS, it was unlikely that they would stand on the podium today.
Unexpectedly, the Georgian athlete who performed right after them suffered a fatal blow. Not only did he fall during a jump, but he also slipped and fell to the ground during the choreographed step sequence, making the "China-Georgia bronze medal battle" in the Lombardy Cup a foregone conclusion.
The Lombardy Cup medal is made of transparent crystal. If you don't look closely at the words engraved on it, it is not easy to tell the difference between gold, silver and bronze.
As soon as Lu Tingsong and Jiang Shi landed in Montreal, Canada, they turned on their phones to find the live broadcast of the Lombardy Cup awards ceremony.
Although he already knew that Lu You and his team won the bronze medal, he still scratched his head as he looked at the medals that looked exactly the same: "This Lombardy Cup medal is quite unique. Will they really not make a mistake when presenting the award?"
"…These two kids, why are they spinning around?"
Jiang Shi leaned in front of the screen with a mysterious smile on his face, as if to say "I bumped into it".
