Jianglin Province Ice and Snow Sports Center.
The melodious sound of violins flowed in the figure skating hall.
As a pair skater, Xie Yunjun naturally could not have a choreographed single skating program. In order to cope with this team competition, he made some modifications based on last season's "Beauty and the Beast".
The technical composition of the short program in single skating is very different from that in pairs skating. It is in the form of 3+3+1, that is, three sets of jumps, three sets of rotations and one set of connecting steps.
The team competition will be conducted in the same format as the World Team Championships. In this competition, all regulations regarding the short program will also be implemented in accordance with the latest documents issued by the ISU.
Xie Yunjun's first jump was the required 2A jump.
The Axel jump was first performed by a Norwegian athlete of the same name in 1882. It can also be called the Axel jump. It is currently the only jump that takes off forward and lands on the ice backward. This is why under the same circumstances, the A jump will always be half a circle longer than other jumps.
However, it is also because of this half circle that the basic score of the A jump can be directly raised to a higher level. You should know that in the basic score file released by the ISU, 2A is in the same table as the triple jump family. Similarly, 3A naturally stands side by side with the quadruple jump.
Watching Xie Yunjun on the ice jump directly into 2A with a big split, Lu You suddenly felt that Xie Yunjun's jumping tricks were much better than his own.
Jiang Yang commented: "Xiaojun's waist strength is really good. Chi Hui should learn more. Maybe he can do a fancy abalone step to 3A in the future."
Chi Hui: Look how happy I am smiling (Coach Lu version).jpg
Lu You, who was sitting aside with a grin on his face, was extremely glad that he was a pair skater.
The reason is simple: the current short program rules for single skating can only be described as "strict".
Taking the men's singles as an example, the competition rules clearly require that the players must complete an A jump in the competition, and in the short program of the adult men's singles, the consequences of a missed jump are very serious, because other double jumps except 2A will not be scored.
In addition, there are dazzling rules such as if a quadruple jump is used, the single jump and the combo jump must be different types of jumps, and if the Axel jump is satisfied with 3A, the combo jump cannot start with an A jump.
"Not only that, the rotation part is also very troublesome," Chi Hui showed a vicissitudes of life that did not match his age. "The first group must do squats or swallows with only one change of feet, the second group must enter with a jump according to the regulations, and the last group is a joint rotation. Every time I change to a new program, I have to memorize the movements for a long time, and I am criticized by the choreographer every day."
Chi Hui had no artistic talent since childhood. He was picked up by Jiang Yang when he was skating in the park. This resulted in his various techniques being good but his artistic performance being a mess, and he would forget what move he should do next while skating.
In addition, with the teaching of Lu Tingsong, the leading figure in the radio gymnastics world, the choreographer of the provincial team had already silently prepared an 800-word resignation report in his mind when he saw the master and apprentice.
After all, improving Chi Hui's physical performance is more difficult than correcting someone who walks with his hands turned during military training.
Every time this moment came, the choreographer especially missed the worry-free days when she was with Lin Yinian. Thinking of this, she glared at Chi Hui fiercely.
Chi Hui shuddered and shrank towards Lu You, who held his head and rubbed it for a while. However, Chi Hui always felt that the way her senior sister rubbed him was no different from the way she rubbed Ah Huang at the gate.
Xie Yunjun's physical strength was more than enough for him to complete a short program in single skating. The dance moves and transition steps of this program did not change much, except that the twists and throws were replaced with 2A and 3S+3Lo, and the lifts and spirals were replaced with two sets of rotations. Xie Yunjun could only make up for the time difference caused by changing moves by reducing his skating speed.
Under the influence of various factors, the overall coherence of the program will definitely be affected, but for pair skaters, being able to achieve this level is enough to be called amazing.
Jiang Yang then realized that Xie Yunjun was not making a random comment when he said that he could switch to a single player.
Strictly speaking, 3S+3Lo can be called advanced triple three, but now the jumps in single skating are becoming more and more abnormal, and the so-called advanced triple three has become a combination of jumps with a basic score of more than 10 points.
After the program, even Xie Yunjun, who is known for his physical strength, broke out in a thin layer of sweat, which shows how intense the stacked jumps in single skating are.
After taking the scabbard handed over by Jiang Yang, Xie Yunjun squatted down and caught Lu You who was running towards him like a bird flapping its wings. He held her butt and weighed her.
Lu You put his arms around his neck, not caring even though it was covered in sweat, and just laughed: "I haven't hugged you for a long time, is it too heavy?"
"Yeah, it's heavier," Xie Yunjun's chest rose and fell faster after exercise, "but I should still be able to throw it."
Lu You's nose was about to turn up to the sky: "That's not necessarily true. I'm 160cm tall now."
No matter! 159cm is 160cm if you tiptoe!
"You're the first one who's so heartless after growing 4-5cm in more than two months." Jiang Yang said faintly, "Have you two finished talking? If not, go to the audience seats. We're going to compete in the free skating soon."
After the free skating/free dance of women's singles, pairs and ice dance were over, Chi Hui jumped onto the stage and performed the newly learned 3F+3T for Lu You. As expected of someone who was chosen by the provincial team coach even for wild ice skating, Chi Hui's jumps were very powerful, and with Lu Tingsong's correction, his bad habit of using the blade blindly with Phillips was also corrected.
Speaking of the reckless use of a blade, Lu You instantly thought of Arturo who was far away in Canada.
After winning his first prize in a major competition last year, the young boy paid back the money he had spent on ice skates, and at Christmas he sent her and Xie Yunjun a bunch of handmade gingerbread cookies made by his mother and two handwritten greeting cards.
"I don't know if Mr. Eugene has changed Arturo's blade back," Lu You said, "He was caught so badly by the referee last year that he still got the JGPF. If he had changed his blade, Lin Yinian would have another troublesome opponent."
Thinking of the pink love card Arturo wrote to Lu You, Xie Yunjun refuted her female companion's words in a rare move: "Arturo's jumps can barely catch up with Lin Yinian, but Lin Yinian is better in rotation, gliding and artistic expression."
At this moment, Lu You felt that there seemed to be a hint of displeasure emanating from his male companion.
The curly-haired boy who was training at the Polar Bear Club suddenly felt a chill on his head for no reason, tripped over his left foot and fell flat on his face.
Eugene adjusted his reading glasses: "Arturo, are your skates burning your feet?"
Arturo got up from the ground and scratched his hair. He felt that he had just sensed a mysterious resentment coming from afar.
…
In the first Jianglin provincial team competition, the Railway Guerrillas VS the Figure Skating Without Sword Team, the Figure Skating Without Sword Team won!
As the captain of the figure skating team, Xu Zhen took the envelope of cash from the team leader with a smile, held the award certificate with a crayon drawing, and gave his acceptance speech in a broadcasting voice: "First of all! I want to thank my parents and the Jianglin Provincial Team. Without you, I would not be where I am today!"
"And then! I want to especially thank Xie Yunjun, who is a pair skater but has no regrets doing the men's singles short program! He is the pride of our pair skating!
"Finally! I hope everyone can achieve better results in this season's World Team Championship!"
After saying this, Xu Zhen winked at his teammates in the audience and said, "Friends, let's meet at the old place?"
After making eye contact, everyone took a taxi and went to the largest seafood food stall in Huai City. Of course, a group of people from the Railway Guerrillas also came uninvited and sat down to eat with peace of mind.
Seafood is a safe food for athletes. Adhering to the principle of not feeling sorry for the bonuses given by their leaders, the ten or so people on the figure skating team ordered a table full of dishes. However, they did not order any wine, but instead several jugs of freshly squeezed juice.
There were all kinds of people in the food stall, and there were many people swinging their arms and hitting people on the head with wine bottles. A group of coaches including Lu Tingsong and Jiang Yang, who were worried that something might happen to the Light of Hope, followed quietly and opened a table not far away from the provincial team.
The unsuspecting contestants beeped loudly.
Chi Hui: "Because the choreographer criticized me for my poor performance every day, I went back to study Coach Lu's previous videos, but for some reason, the choreographer seemed even angrier the next day."
Zhang Bai was unpacking crabs for his female companion Guan Xiaoxuan: "Which game of Coach Lu Tingsong did you watch?"
Chi Hui: "Four Continents 2013, Chopin's "Farewell"."
Guan Xiaoxuan touched his head and said, "Then it's right for the choreographer to be angry."
Lu Tingsong, who was sitting nearby and eavesdropping, said: "..." Be patient, life will pass quickly.
Jiang Yang, who was sitting opposite him, looked at Lu You carefully. Although this girl had grown a lot taller, for some reason, her overall proportions looked slimmer. Jiang Yang also found that when eating, Lu You would deliberately avoid dishes with heavy oil, such as grilled oysters and vermicelli scallops.
This only shows that during the two months without going on the ice, Lu You still maintained self-discipline, waiting for the day to dance again.
"You guys eat, Xie Yunjun and I are going to go shopping and look at some new skates."
There is a shopping mall not far from the food stalls. The ice rink inside is where Lu Tingsong worked when he just retired. It was also the club where Lu You and Xie Yunjun trained every day before they joined the provincial team.
Both of them bought their first pair of ice skates at the club.
The professional ice skates model that Lu You needed at his level were out of stock and needed to be transferred from other places. After getting the invoice for picking up the goods, Lu You leaned against the glass partition and looked inside for a while.
Even at night, the ice rink in Huai City is still bustling with people of all heights speeding around the rink, enjoying the fun of skating.
When Lu You put on the mask, there was no need for either of them to communicate, as Xie Yunjun had already stood up to help her rent ice skates.
This ice rink has EDEA seven-star ice skates for rent, but because they are expensive and not suitable for amateurs, they are usually ignored. When Xie Yunjun asked for the pair of EDEA seven-star skates, the lady at the rental office confirmed with him several times.
Lu You quickly tied his shoelaces. When he touched the ice again after two months, he was overwhelmed by the sense of unfamiliarity. Lu You, who was used to his own ice skates, fell flat on his face after only a few steps while wearing this pair of EDEA Seven Stars.
After Xie Yunjun picked her up from the ground, she slowly slid forward holding Xie Yunjun's palm like all beginners.
Not far away, a coach who was teaching an adult class frowned.
"I told you not to aim too high and buy the hardest shoes when you first start learning. Look, that girl is a negative example," the coach took the opportunity to teach his students, "Beginners can't control advanced knives and shoes at all."
At this time, Lu You didn't know that she was labeled as a "beginner". When she gradually put on the pair of EDEA Seven Stars equipped with a colorful knife, she felt a strong sense of familiarity from the ice. It seemed that the ice under her feet had turned into little people, constantly shouting at her, "Come on, try it."
Lu You let go of Xie Yunjun's hand, did a series of light twists, and began to skate backwards on the ice.
The coach was still blabbering: "Are the Seven Stars for ordinary people? They are designed for professional athletes who need to do two and a half and three weeks of jumps. Look at that... uh, where is the person?"
Someone pointed it out to him: "Coach, over there."
At this time, Lu You lightly tapped the ice, like a flying butterfly, and completed a 2T.
"..." The coach said calmly, "Well, ordinary people like us can still do a double jump after hard training."
After doing 2T, Lu You shook his legs, as if considering the impact of the skates on himself. After a while, he skillfully did a triple turn. A crisp sound of ice-tapping was heard. Lu You raised his arms and completed another triple Lutz jump.
coach:"……"
Damn, I met a professional player.
