The hotel's buffet started at 5:30 p.m., and Lu You took the plate and picked up food here and there. When he returned to his seat with satisfaction, half of the food on the plate had been eaten by Lu Tingsong.
"Potato wedges? Here you go!" Lu Tingsong acted like a wolf grandmother, pulling out the fried potato wedges hidden under the salad and laughing, "You still want to hide this from the world? These little tricks of yours are all left over from when I was in the national team."
"Also, if you want to eat salad, just eat salad. Why do you put Thousand Island dressing in it? Don't you know how high the calories are in it?" Lu Tingsong said, and picked up all the vegetables with Thousand Island dressing.
Lu You looked at his uncle angrily.
Lu Tingsong poked her forehead and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Lu You said unhappily, "What are you looking at?"
"You better be careful. If you get really fat and can't jump anymore, don't hold me and cry," Lu Tingsong said. "Look at Lin Yinian. He controls his diet so well. Can you learn from him?"
At this time, there were many young athletes who came to participate in the National Championships in the hotel restaurant. Everyone was very careful to avoid pork and mutton when choosing food. This was to prevent athletes from accidentally eating clenbuterol when eating out and causing positive doping tests before the game. In addition to pork and mutton, they were also not allowed to eat secondary processed meat products. Hot pot, barbecue, braised dishes and other foods with mixed seasonings were especially not allowed. Generally, they could only eat a small amount of chicken.
Lin Yinian, who was invited by Lu You to have dinner together, had only a few pieces of boiled chicken, half a corn, a small bowl of quinoa rice and a plate of vegetable salad on his plate.
In order to perform technical moves better, figure skaters maintain an astonishingly low body fat percentage all year round, and male athletes basically maintain it in single digits. However, if a female's body fat percentage is lower than 15%, it will have a huge impact on her endocrine system, and may even affect the visits of relatives every month and future fertility. In order to pursue the limit of jumping, the female singles also control their body fat percentage to less than 10%. However, it is not known how long it will take to recover to normal after retirement.
Lu You's current BMI index is around 17, and Lu Tingsong does not control her body fat percentage as strictly as the female singles. It is basically close to the lowest body fat percentage that does not affect her physical condition. This is also the limit that Liang Jie and Lu Shi'an can accept. If Lu You's body fat percentage drops a little bit, he may be kicked out of the house by his brother and sister-in-law.
Lin Yinian, who was still stuffing food with his head down, paused when his name was suddenly called and whispered, "I'm used to it."
Lu Tingsong: "Did you hear that? People are used to it. Lu You, you should get used to it too."
Lu You could only angrily pick up the fork and chew on the vegetable leaves. As she was chewing, she suddenly saw the small pendant on Lin Yinian's sports backpack. She quickly opened her eyes wide and leaned over: "Oh my God, is this Duffy Bear pendant of yours a Japanese version? Is it the autumn limited edition that came out a while ago?"
Lin Yinian was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Lu You recognized him at a glance and nodded.
"Ahhh, do you have a reliable purchasing agent? Can you recommend one to me? I've wanted this set of pendants for a long time but I can't get it." Lu You was about to cry. "The Sakura sisters are too crazy when it comes to grabbing things. They don't leave people any chance."
Lin Yinian: "My sister is studying in Japan. If you want, I can ask my sister to buy it for you in the future."
Lu You: “Really?”
"Great, it turns out you also like Duffy's Friends series," Lu You happily shook his feet, "If Xie Yunjun and I can participate in the Youth Grand Prix, would you like to go to Tokyo Disneyland with us after the competition?"
Lu Tingsong said quietly, "Why are you so confident? Let's not talk about whether you can perform better than Si Nan and Xu Zhen in the free skating tomorrow. Even if you win first place and go to Nagoya to compete, Lin Yinian will not go to Japan for the Grand Prix."
At present, Lin Yinian is the only outstanding young men's singles player in the domestic youth group, while in Japan, many strong young players are queuing up in the Nagoya station. Lu Tingsong thinks that the Ice Hockey Association will most likely help Lin Yinian get a place in a sub-station with less competition and try to ensure that he can enter the finals.
As for pair skating, Japan's pair skating and ice dancing are not as good as the current domestic men's and women's singles. Needless to say, just choose it.
Lu You and Lin Yinian quickly established a friendship because of their common interests. The three children exchanged WeChat accounts and went home after dinner to prepare for tomorrow's free skating. Due to venue restrictions, they could not conduct pair practice, so Lu Tingsong could only help each of them find a yoga mat for simple stretching.
The free skating of the youth group of the National Championships will start on time at 12 noon on the second day.
Because they ranked first in the short program, Lu You and Xie Yunjun were the last to perform. Si Nan and Xu Zhen, who were the second to last to perform, failed one after another. During the 3STh throw jump, Si Nan lost his balance when landing on the ice and fell. In the subsequent 3T2T combination jump, Si Nan missed the first jump, causing the jump to be downgraded to 2T2T.
In pair skating, the jump is scored according to the person with the lowest quality of performance. That is to say, no matter how perfect the other person jumps, as long as your partner makes a mistake, the jump score will be scored according to the standard of the person who made the mistake.
At the end of the performance, Si Nan burst into sobs when Xu Zhen put his arms around her.
Jiang Yang couldn't stop sighing. It was obvious that Si Nan was still affected. In fact, after falling in the first throw jump, Si Nan began to feel a little out of shape, and she was not in good shape afterwards. She was struggling with her development and her recent condition was already very unstable. Once her mentality had problems on the field, her free skating collapsed completely.
Things have already happened, and there is no point in saying more. Jiang Yang just hopes that Lu You and Xie Yunjun's conditions will not be affected anymore.
"Lu You, thank you Yunjun."
Jiang Yang turned around and called their names.
"Yeah, we understand."
Lu You was no longer as unruly as she had been before the competition. She and Xie Yunjun listened carefully to the instructions of Jiang Yang and Lu Tingsong. They went on stage hand in hand. When they walked past Si Nan and Xu Zhen, Si Nan said "Come on" to Lu You in a nasal tone, and Xu Zhen also patted Xie Yunjun on the shoulder.
Old fans who have been following Si Nan and Xu Zhen know what has happened to them in recent years. Although they feel sorry for their poor performance this time, it was also expected. Now they have all turned their attention to the dark horse who has just emerged on the ice this year, and is also Si Xu's junior.
I hope the two children’s free skates will be as surprising as their short programs.
Only in this way will there be hope for this year's international youth competition.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Lu You was held up by Xie Yunjun and bent over on her back. As the music started, Lu You hooked up the ice skate with her right hand and stepped on Xie Yunjun's skates with her left blade. Xie Yunjun supported her and she turned smoothly on the ice.
A very innovative opening move.
They chose the soundtrack "Frozen Symphony" which was composed by a domestic music producer for a domestic game.
The tight and dense orchestral music fell from the sky like ice spikes, and the blooming and exploding of ice elements seemed to be right in front of our eyes. Lu You and Xie Yunjun's song selections have always been unexpected. They are not keen on the popular songs in figure skating, and each time the music is very bold. But even though the songs are unfamiliar to the audience, just watching the two children's performance seems to make people feel the scene of thousands of miles of ice and howling winds.
No matter what background music is used, if you want to bring the audience into the atmosphere, you must first immerse yourself in the performance. This is true for single skating and even more so for pair skating. Pair skating also requires the spirit of both people to blend with each other so as not to appear abrupt. Lu You and Xie Yunjun can do this at such a young age. This point alone is beyond the reach of many pair skaters.
Lu You was lightly thrown by Xie Yunjun and completed a three-week twist in the air. Her ice-blue skirt fluttered, and the diamonds on it sparkled under the light.
Xue Chengze, the national team's head coach who was watching the game from the stands, raised his eyebrows slightly: "Tano's three-pointer."
Rippon and tano postures are not exclusive to jumping, they are also applicable to twists. Lu You and Xie Yunjun had done the double twist with both hands raised before, but Xue Chengze had always heard from Jiang Yang that because they had not found a good coach before, their twist and throw level had always been limited to the second week, and it was only after they joined the Jianglin Provincial Team that they officially started the third week training.
I didn't expect that in just a few months, I would be able to perform the Tano-style twist.
This only shows that their foundation is really solid. The reason why they have been unknown before is probably because their teaching staff have not kept up.
The second choreographed move of Lu You and Xie Yunjun was the 2A3T jump. Jumping has always been the strong point of Lu You and Xie Yunjun, so it is not surprising that they can reach this level of difficulty. For this jump, the two took off directly on the spot and completed it cleanly and beautifully.
The following 3S was so high and floating that a group of ice fans thought they were watching a single skating competition.
Xue Chengze even couldn't help thinking that if the domestic pair skating reserve force was not really empty, he really wanted to try to send the two children to women's singles and men's singles respectively. Although there has always been a precedent of switching from singles to pairs, even if the singles cannot achieve results at that time, it will be the same to switch back to practice pairs.
But he was just thinking about it. In pair skating, it is taboo to break up or group up randomly. A new partner means a whole new running-in period. There have been pairs of partners whose performance plummeted due to breaking up. But it was indeed forced by the situation at that time. The female partner grew too fast and the male partner's height was no longer enough to match. And it happened that a player transferred from the women's singles team to skate pairs. After weighing the pros and cons, they made the decision to break up the team.
After completing the jump, the next step for Lu You and Xie Yunjun was the throw jump, which was the most likely to cause problems. At this point, Lu You and Xie Yunjun also made their first mistake.
In this program, they need to complete two jumps, a 3TTh worth 4.4 points and a 3Loth worth 5 points.
The first jump was completed normally, but when it came to the second jump, Lu You's axis in the air was obviously skewed. A jump with a crooked axis usually leads to only one outcome - a fall.
When Lu You landed on the ice, the muscles in her hips and legs were visibly tensed, and her body swayed, indicating that she was trying very hard to keep steady. However, in the end, because the axis was too crooked, the blade tilted and she sat down on the ice at an angle.
A sigh of regret was heard in the venue.
