The National Figure Skating Championships only accepts domestic athletes, so even among ice fans, only a small number of them travel thousands of miles to watch the games.
In addition to ice fans, there is another group of people who come to watch the competition, namely photography enthusiasts. Because of the artistry of figure skating, the figure skating competition scene can attract many photography enthusiasts carrying short cameras, standing on the top of the mountain to capture the graceful skating postures of the athletes on the ice.
According to previous years, even if ice fans and photography enthusiasts were included, the audience seats were not full, even if the competition that day was for the adult group, where well-known domestic athletes participated and they were allowed to watch for free. However, today the audience seat occupancy rate reached nearly 80%, which surprised many ice fans who were present.
In addition to the on-site attendance, the live broadcast traffic on the Internet has also increased significantly compared to usual.
The live broadcast of this year's Figure Skating Championships will still be provided by the official online platform of the Sports Channel.
Since the competition on October 11, there has been no significant fluctuation in the live broadcast traffic for several days. It was not until the live broadcast started on the afternoon of the 14th that the backstage staff just paid normal attention to the traffic, but they were shocked to find that the traffic on this day was much higher than that of the previous few days.
"Hey, what's going on with today's traffic?" The responsible staff took a look and called the chief editor of the live broadcast: "Boss, did we buy any promotion for today's live broadcast? The data is quite a lot?"
The editor-in-chief sighed in silence, "Didn't I say this before? When you're doing your own show, pay more attention to the online trends. One of the men's singles contestants this time is a contestant who withdrew from a popular talent show. He has a lot of fans. After he withdrew from the talent show, Cui Yi took him to the national team. This is his first time participating in a domestic competition. Fans and Bingmi are paying close attention to him. Didn't you see that the audience seats are almost 80% full today?"
Just as the editor-in-chief said, ever since the list of participants for this figure skating national championships was leaked, netizens have already checked out the schedule of the national championships, waiting to see how Su Zhe performs in his first official competition after joining the national team.
The competition on the afternoon of October 14 was divided into different events including ice dancing, women's singles, men's singles, pairs skating and team skating. The men's singles skating event was scheduled for 6 pm. There were a total of 15 athletes, who were divided into 3 groups of 5 people to compete separately.
After the draw, Su Zhe will appear in the third place in the second group.
Many onlookers who came specifically to see Su Zhe did not know that from the start of the ice dance competition at around 1 pm to the time when Su Zhe appeared, there were about 5 hours of other events and athletes competing in the middle. It was not until the competition was carried out one group after another that these onlookers suddenly realized that although watching this figure skating competition was free of charge, it was indeed a physical job.
But what kind of battles have these spectators and star-chasing girls not seen? At this moment, they are just sitting in the stadium to watch the competition, which is not difficult at all. And I have to say that the ice events are still very pleasing to the eye. Although many spectators who come to watch the competition don’t know much about figure skating, they can still see some fun.
As time passed and it was about 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the first group of men's figure skating competition had ended. After the ice was cleared, a new group of athletes emerged from the entrance of the competition channel and began to go on the ice for warm-up exercises.
The bystanders and Su Zhe's fans who came to the scene did not initially react to the fact that Su Zhe had already entered the stage. Instead, the bystanders who were squatting in front of the live broadcast and occasionally glanced at the live video discovered Su Zhe first.
Suddenly, a shout of "Chigualu" floated across the screen.
[Wow, the one wearing a white sports jacket is Suzhe, right? Misty Grass, after waiting for so long, he is finally going to play! ]
The enthusiastic gossip-eater quickly posted the news on the gossip forum, and immediately the barrage of comments, which had been somewhat deserted, was flooded with passers-by who wanted to check in and eat the gossip.
The sudden appearance of "Eating Gloria Road" made the ice fans who were watching the game a little confused. After seeing the content of the barrage, these ice fans remembered that Su Zhe's short program was in the next group.
In the forum of the Ice and Snow Kingdom, an ice fan posted a live discussion thread on the topic of Su Zhe in the discussion board, and began to discuss what kind of music and arrangement Su Zhe would use in his short program in this competition.
3l: [After all this talk, I still don’t understand what’s so great about Suzhe that Coach Choi would bring him directly into the national team. It’s just right that I can finally wait for his game to start, so I can see his strength.]
At the scene, after all the players went on the ice and started skating to warm up and practice, finally some onlookers and fans at the scene recognized Su Zhe. Suddenly, there was a heated discussion in the audience, and the ice fans at the scene also discovered Su Zhe amid the exclamations of the onlookers.
On the ice, Su Zhe was wearing a white sports jacket. Although his formal attire for the game was blocked by the sports jacket, his elegant and slender figure and his looks that could overwhelm the entire audience were enough to dazzle the audience.
After the warm-up exercise began, the second group of players on the field began to skate on their own, simply rehearsing on the ice the skating and jumping combinations they would need in the next game.
If the audience was only impressed by Su Zhe's figure, appearance and temperament when the players just stepped onto the ice and had not started to move, then when everyone on the ice started to skate on the ice, the ice fans who had been watching the game live for a long time really let out a sigh of amazement.
As Su Zhe began to skate on the ice, he seemed to have entered a different world from the players around him. Even the spectators sitting closest to the ice could hardly feel any effort from him as they watched Su Zhe skate past them. On the ice, he passed by like a gust of wind, and then turned around lightly. When his arms were gently stretched out, it was as if they were being blown by the breeze, naturally.
There are also skaters around who are good at skating, but they cannot give people such a relaxed and free feeling in visual sense. Every movement and posture of his creates a sense of detachment from the people around him.
The audience's eyes were involuntarily attracted by his posture, and when he suddenly jumped up from the ice and landed after a set of counterclockwise turns, many spectators were unable to react because he had completed a quadruple jump.
There was a delay of about 1 or 2 seconds after Su Zhe completed the leap before a burst of exclamations broke out at the scene.
There were many bystanders who didn't know much about figure skating at the scene. After they finished exclaiming in amazement, they began to ask each other questions hesitantly.
"Um, I don't really understand figure skating, but Su Zhe's skating seems to be better than the previous skater? Is it because my beauty filter is too thick?"
"...I think so, too?"
Not only the onlookers at the scene, but also the onlookers before the live broadcast were a little confused. But before they were confused, the commentator of this live broadcast exclaimed before them.
In the online live broadcast room, the figure skating commentator Lin Ya, who was in charge of the commentary, was the first to show an expression of amazement after seeing Su Zhe's performance.
"Among the athletes who are warming up on the field, there is one who is participating in the competition for the first time. He is Su Zhe, who was recommended by the S Province figure skating team and is currently training with the national team."
"Suzhe is 19 years old now. As far as I know, this is his first time participating in a formal figure skating competition in his career. This is also the first time I have seen him perform on ice."
“I have to say that in the current warm-up phase, I have seen from Su Zhe an extremely rare performance among domestic male figure skaters, and his skating and jumping abilities in the warm-up are very worth looking forward to! I hope to see him present a more complete and exciting program in the official competition later.”
While Lin Ya was introducing Su Zhe, many messages from ice fans appeared on the bullet screen in the live broadcast room.
[This slide is really good! I am also looking forward to the next official competition! ]
[Has he really never participated in any competitions before? How did he practice all by himself until now…]
[Mist, that 4t just now, why did I feel like he didn't even use any effort? He just floated up like that, and the movements after landing on the ice were also so easy...]
In the forum of the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, the Su Zhe discussion thread that had just been opened also suddenly became a high-rise building in a set of warm-up movements.
13l: [Did you see the gliding and jumping just now? Is it my illusion that he is much better than the athletes practicing with him? ]
15l: […It seems that it was not an illusion. The jump just now was really high, light, and far. I remember that he was very tall according to Baidu Encyclopedia? About 177cm? How can he jump so easily and steadily with this height?! ]
18l: [I just took a screenshot comparing his height with other players at the scene. He is indeed the tallest in the scene. I have to say that this height and figure look really good on the ice. But I didn’t expect him to be so smooth on the ice? His skating really looks effortless, like a breeze blowing...]
20l: [I also have the feeling of a breeze blowing! I have a blind guess, could it be that Su Zhe's song for the short program is "The Breeze Blows"? I think his current state is very suitable for this song...]
In the forum, there was more and more discussion about Su Zhe, and after a short warm-up, the audience felt that it was worthwhile to come to watch today's game.
The fans at the scene can feel the content more directly than those watching the live broadcast on the Internet. After all, although they can still feel the smooth beauty of the athletes' skating in the live camera, they often cannot truly feel the sense of speed on the ice when watching the athletes' performances in person.
The unique gentleness that Suzhe maintained on the ice while skating quickly touched the hearts of every spectator.
When the warm-up ended and the athletes finished skating one after another, the audience couldn't help but sigh in disappointment, and began to look forward to Su Zhe's official short program performance.
The author has something to say: Flatten...t__tI was wrong, sorry, I thought I could find enough time to update during the lunch break, but it turns out that this was all my illusion...
There will be another update after 0:00 pm, it may be late, please don't wait too late orz...
The next episode will really be a short one...qvq...With this progress, I always have a terrible feeling that it won't be finished before the New Year...
