At the table, Cui Yi frowned but said nothing, just patted Su Zhe on the shoulder.

Su Zhe nodded, indicating that he was fine.

This score was actually within their expectations, or rather, this score was slightly higher than the lower limit they expected. After all, Su Zhe was even more unfamiliar in the eyes of these judges than those players who had been promoted from the youth group to the adult group in the past.

Su Zhe and Cui Yi had already prepared themselves mentally, but the fans at the scene and those watching the live broadcast were not.

The fans who were simply fans of the game and didn't understand the situation were very confused after seeing the commotion of the fans around them. However, after hearing the fans' explanation, these fans of the game or just watching the show were also shocked and found the scores given by the judges incomprehensible.

Even ordinary viewers who don't know much about the show have seen Su Zhe's previous performance in the National Championships. Compared with today's "Breeze Blows", even they can feel the more thrilling beauty in today's show.

They couldn't understand the complicated steps, but every audience member present could feel the most intuitive feeling. In front of the beautiful things that everyone could feel, it received unfair treatment, which made everyone present feel unfair.

On the Internet, someone immediately posted a message in the Ice and Snow Kingdom forum.

Topic: [How long will this scoring model last, where the order of contestants' appearances is tied to the final score, without considering the actual level of the contestants? ! ]

After this topic was posted, it received dozens of comments in a very short time. All the ice fans who were paying attention to this game found it hard to accept this result.

Although the unspoken rule of 'the order of players' appearance is linked to the referee's scoring' has existed for a long time, in today's game, facing today's performance, it is particularly infuriating.

5L: [I know that Su Zhe, as the first competitor, will not receive a high score, but I didn’t expect the judges to suppress the score to such an extent?! The highest performance score was only 8.5? The relay was only 7.17? Did the technical supervisors at the scene not question the judges’ scoring? Did they really think that this score matched Su Zhe’s performance?]

The attitude of the ice hockey fans in this reply basically represents the attitude of all the ice hockey fans gathered in this thread. When an excellent performance is given a score that does not match its performance, the shock and response it can arouse is enormous.

This score caused quite a stir not only among ice fans in the domestic ice and snow kingdom forum, but also on the Japanese figure skating discussion board.

Topic: [COC Tracking: Player Su was the first to appear, and after the performance, the score was...?! ]

Main Post: [Is this an unfair refereeing? The performance of contestant Su does not match the score he received. I just checked the past scores of COC and the referees were not particularly harsh. But why did they give such a low score to contestant Su? I thought that even if the referee did not know contestant Su, he would definitely appreciate the beauty and skills expressed in this short program? ]

1L: [You are right. In the performance just now, contestant Su deserved more than this. This score is really too low to be understood. If the referee team hopes to establish a strict image in today's competition, then please continue to be strict in the next competition! Otherwise, the score that contestant Su received is really unconvincing to the authority of the referee! ]

5L: [I agree with the first level answer. I was amazed by Su’s performance, but the judges’ score was disappointing! Although Yihe and Youdou will still play in today’s competition, I don’t want Yihe and Youdou to win in an unfair competition environment! Yihe and Youdou are both very good, and Su’s excellence is convincing at first sight. I hope they can compete in a fair competition environment to win the final victory, instead of suppressing Su under the current scoring standards of the judges and winning an unfair victory! ]

10L: [I agree. If the referee team is so harsh on Su, please continue to be harsh! We will watch it carefully. If a contestant who performs worse than Su gets a higher score than him, we have reason to think that this is an unfair competition. I personally say that I will seriously consider reporting the referee team members.]

In the Japanese figure skating discussion forums, fans are just as angry as fans at home about the scores given by the judging panel.

In a scoring event like figure skating, the authority of the referee often represents the fate of the athletes. No matter which country the ice fans are from, they do not want to see the referee's unfair enforcement of the law during the competition. Even if the referee is unfairly enforcing the law against an athlete you hate, you can never guarantee that this injustice will not fall on the athlete you support the next moment.

For figure skating enthusiasts, their hope is always to see a beautiful visual feast on ice in a fair competition environment.

At the domestic competition site, Su Zhe has already left the field, but the competition is still going on.

The next player is Katowice from Sweden. His current world ranking is 35th and his highest ranking in history is 25th. He is the lowest ranked player in this tournament except Su Zhe.

Before he took the court in Katowice, he had already felt the atmosphere on the scene. He thought that since there were selected players from China in this competition, he would not have to face the pressure of strict referees when he took the court.

But he didn't expect that the player selected by China this time would be such a player.

During the warm-up before the game, he already felt that the Chinese athlete might not be ordinary in strength. It was just a simple warm-up. Not only were there a large number of ice fans on the scene excited about his every turn and jump, but as a professional figure skater, he could of course better understand the Chinese athlete's relaxed posture on the ice and the strength that made him feel pressured.

And this is indeed the case. He watched the entire performance of the Chinese athlete through the live broadcast screen installed in the waiting area. The beauty and skills displayed in this performance brought him pressure, making him feel heavy all over when he was about to go on stage even though he already had a lot of competition experience.

The coach of Katowice was also surprised by Su Zhe's performance in the previous game. As Katowice came on the field after Su Zhe, the coach could certainly sense how big the gap between the two was.

'Oh, damn, instead of Katowice being the second player in the match, he should be the first player in the match!'

The coach from Katowice had this headache in his mind - especially after the first Chinese player got such a score, the referee team would definitely give more stringent judgments to the players behind in order to maintain their strict image of fair law enforcement.

The coach knew very well that this result was definitely not good news for his students.

With a slightly worried look, the coach of Katowice looked at Katowice who had already gone on the ice for the final warm-up. He could only pray secretly, hoping that his student would be able to perform better than his usual level on the ice today.

Katowice remained quite nervous when he went on the ice for the final warm-up. Although the spectators around him did not pay special attention to him, Su Zhe's performance on the ice not long ago still brought him great psychological pressure. He even accidentally fell during the triple jump during the final warm-up on the ice.

Outside the barrier at the edge of the ice rink, the coach of Katowice frowned and sighed in his heart when he saw this.

When he finally returned to the edge of the backboard in Katowice, he patted his student on the shoulder and told him solemnly: "Don't be nervous, just be yourself. You have practiced enough. Believe in yourself, kid."

Katowice certainly wishes he could be less nervous, but when a student with average qualifications faces a talented student, and when the genius is not treated fairly for various reasons, everything seems much worse.

What's worse is that the style of his song selection is... very close to that of this genius.

After taking a deep breath, Katowice was ready and his show officially began.

The song he chose for his short program is the famous Swedish song "Pure City". Like "Blowing with the Breeze", this song uses piano performance as the main melody, accompanied by the simple and pure string sounds of the Swedish traditional folk instrument Nikolaikirche, bringing everyone a pure and leisurely auditory beauty.

Katowice's costumes and his program choreography are also based on the theme of purity and beauty. He skates forward on the ice, spins, and jumps, trying his best to bring the same beauty to every viewer through his limbs.

As a player whose highest world ranking was 25th, Katowice certainly has certain strength. If he had not played after Su Zhe, the audience would have been able to appreciate his performance with a more tolerant attitude.

But there are no ifs.

When Katowice came on the field after Su Zhe, it was destined to be difficult to escape the fate of being compared.

The two players' pieces are of similar style, but compared to Su Zhe's soft and agile skating that matches the music, Katowice's skating on the ice is obviously not that easy. The audience can see that he is trying hard to make himself look "skating effortlessly", but as long as you pay a little attention, you can see that it is still difficult for Katowice to maintain the smoothness of skating that matches the music.

To get a clear feeling of the smoothness and sluggishness of ice skating, you only need to watch the actual competition of the athletes in person.

In addition to gliding, Katowice's body language is also rather rigid. From the emotions and states he conveys, it is not particularly easy to feel the kind of transparent purity that the "Pure City" should have.

The whole short program was well choreographed, but Katowice was not 100% in tune with the music. It was difficult to hit the right beats when spinning and jumping.

Moreover, during the performance, Katowice was so nervous that he made mistakes in several jumps.

After watching the show, the audience felt that it was a pretty good short show, but there was an insurmountable gap between this show and Su Zhe's previous performance, "The Breeze Blows".

After Katowice and his coach sat down in the equal seats, the audience also locked their eyes on the referee's seat and the big screen on site.

After scoring 83.11 points for "Breeze", what score can this song "Pure City" get?

Soon, the score belonging to Katowice also appeared on the big screen.

Katowice (Sweden), total score (TSS) 62.58 = technical score (TES) 35.14 + program content score (PCS) 33.44, of which the program content components are skating (SS) 6.87, connection (TR) 6.64, performance (PE) 6.57, arrangement (CO) 7.02, and musical expression (IN) 6.34.

The author has something to say: _(:з」∠)_Tanping, this update is for the 24th, so I'm going to eat something, there should be another update after 0 o'clock (covering my face)

Don’t wait too late if you are watching after 0 o’clock, come and watch it tomorrow morning, muah!
