On the ice, Su Zhe was simply reviewing his footwork positions and jump nodes.

As many ice fans are concerned about, the footwork choreography and combination rotations of the first version of "Breeze" were indeed not difficult enough. During this period of time, he, Eliza and coach Cui Yi have made repeated adjustments to this problem. In today's competition, he will perform the re-arranged "Breeze".

While Su Zhe was warming up on the ice, the referees in the referee booth also locked their eyes on him, trying to find out what made this player stand out from the others.

Anderson is a senior figure skating judge. He has a certain impression of the current top-ranked international skaters. As for the Chinese adult skaters, in his memory, the best performers are Wang and Xu, but in his impression, their popularity is not that high.

Judging from the cheers from the audience, the one the audience is eagerly looking forward to is obviously the new player named Su Zhe.

Anderson exchanged glances with his fellow referee, raised his eyebrows, and continued to pay attention to the warm-up of the new player.

The players’ warm-up does not mean they will go all out on the ice, but the players’ strength can be roughly observed from their warm-up status, such as their skating skills on the ice, the connection between some movements, artistic expression, etc.

Theoretically, in the eyes of the judges, the first group of players who came out for warm-up practice in the short program would all have more or less flaws and deficiencies. For example, some players are not good at skating, and their skating speed on the ice can only be described as "ice walking". Some players have qualified skills, but their body expressions are stiff, making it difficult to feel the artistic beauty. Some players are relatively good at artistic expression, but they are lacking in skills.

For Anderson, his many years of refereeing career have given him his own set of criteria for judging players' performances. However, Su Zhe, who was warming up on the ice at this time, made him doubt his usual criteria.

slide?

The blade is deep and the speed is smooth. It seems that there is almost no effort on the ice, which looks very outstanding.

Action connection?

There was a jump rotation just now, and the transition was very natural. The rotation was stable and fast, and there was no lag between the rotation movements.

Artistic beauty?

Oh, this new Chinese skater has an extraordinary talent for aesthetics. It was just a simple warm-up. The soft and gentle breeze he brought with him during his skating made him look like a wind elf.

Not only Anderson, but other referees around him were also somewhat surprised by Su Zhe's performance. This Chinese player who had never appeared in international competitions seemed to have strength beyond their expectations?

After looking at each other quietly, the referees turned their eyes back to the ice and continued to maintain their focused gaze.

In the audience seats, the audience did not notice the subtle movements of the referees. For ice fans and spectators, the key point was to seize the limited time that Su Zhe was on the ice and take a closer look at this person on the ice.

Unfortunately, the warm-up time was only 6 minutes. After 6 minutes, the other 5 players left the stage one after another. Before leaving, Xu Yihe went around to Su Zhe and patted him on the shoulder.

Then, Su Zhe was soon the only one left on the ice.

In the commentary room of the sports channel, the person in charge of commentating this competition was still the well-known figure skating commentator Lin Ya.

She is also very interested in today's competition. Apart from work, she also follows the discussions about Su Zhe's performance on the figure skating forum in the Kingdom of Ice and Snow and various online platforms such as Weibo. The issues that most ice fans on the Internet are concerned about are also her concerns.

Can Su Zhe's condition be stabilized?

Can the difficulty of short programs be increased?

These questions will soon be answered.

After the warm-up, Su Zhe took off his sports jacket, revealing the performance suit underneath. Under Cui Yi's encouraging gaze, Su Zhe smiled, pushed the partition at the edge of the ice rink with both hands, turned around and skated to the center of the ice.

Under everyone's gaze, he quietly hugged his body with his arms, moved his right foot to the back of the ice, lowered his head and closed his eyes, making all preparations before the performance began.

The audience stopped making noise and focused their attention on the lonely figure on the ice.

The performance is about to begin.

Soon, the music of "The Breeze" began to play. As the light piano sounds rang out, Su Zhe on the ice opened his eyes. He turned around lightly, stretched out his arms forward, and then began to move leisurely on the ice like a gust of wind.

With every move he made on the ice, the wind blew through his hair and his cuffs, creating ripples that made people feel as if their hearts were also being gently blown by the breeze.

[Today's performance seems to be better than last time? ]

Many ice fans who had watched Su Zhe's last short program performance had the same thought flashing through their minds after seeing Su Zhe's opening, but the thought flashed by and they were soon immersed in Su Zhe's changing figure on the ice.

This figure on the ice, every turn and every step he takes, seems to be interpreting the entanglement of the breeze and branches, just like the spring breeze passing through the branches, his figure also gently passes through everyone's heart.

Every spectator at the scene was reluctant to take their eyes off him. They focused on every arc he drew on the ice. Even the way he slightly tilted his head and leaned forward were enough to make people linger.

If the audience at the scene just felt that Su Zhe's performance on the ice seemed to have improved, then the audience watching the live broadcast had a much more direct feeling.

In the live broadcast, every detail conveyed from each shot tells the audience that this time, Su Zhe is not mechanically repeating the content of the previous performance. His emotional expression is indeed a step further than before.

The entanglement between the breeze and the branches, the lightness and agility of the breeze blowing across the earth, are all vividly displayed in the jumping of piano notes and his steps, turns and jumps.

The ordinary spectators simply felt that Su Zhe's performance this time seemed to be even better than before, and his movements seemed to be a little different.

The ice fans in front of the live broadcast were even more shocked.

Before today's competition began, the forums of the Ice Kingdom had been discussing that the choreography of "Run with the Breeze" was not difficult enough and that its ceiling in points was obvious, making it difficult to compete with the short program choreography of famous players such as Amami Tsubasa, Yuto Tsugawa, and Igor in today's competition.

But today, the performance of "Breeze Blows" is already halfway through, and it can be clearly seen from Su Zhe's current performance that he has made great improvements in the choreography of steps and combination rotations.

Is it possible that only half a month was enough for him to make such a drastic adaptation of the program and still achieve such a high degree of completion?

Ice fans who are well aware of the difficulty involved couldn't help but be surprised.

In the referee's booth, Anderson was watching every move of Su Zhe through the technical action monitoring screen.

The performance of this new Chinese player has indeed exceeded his expectations. If we only consider the artistic quality of the program, he has undoubtedly reached the level of a top player, and his technical movements are also impeccable.

but……

Anderson looked at the player on the monitor thoughtfully, frowned and continued to score attentively - the appearance of this new player did pose a certain challenge to their inherent scoring habits.

Is it appropriate to over-evaluate a player who is making his first appearance in an international competition?

The audience in the stands had no idea what the referee was thinking; they simply watched Su Zhe's performance on the ice and felt the pleasant emotions he conveyed through his body movements.

As the music gradually stopped, the wind blowing across the ice also gradually stopped. The gentle, deft wind that blew across everything and penetrated people's hearts had quietly left, leaving behind only a beautiful figure that made people feel reluctant to leave.

After the music stopped, there was a brief silence followed by warm applause and cheers.

Lin Wei clapped her hands and shouted excitedly: "Ahhh! Suzhe, you are really awesome!"

She couldn't help but look back and around, wanting to find a companion to share this happy feeling, but she came here alone and there were really no familiar friends around.

Not far from Lin Wei, there was an ice hockey fan from Japan who was carefully filming Su Zhe on the ice with a video device in her hand. While filming, the joy and happiness in her eyes were exactly the same as those of every Chinese ice hockey fan around her.

While Lin Wei was applauding, many audience members had already started throwing the dolls they had prepared into the venue. Most of these dolls were cute tiger puppets - the zodiac signs of Su Zhe's family of three were all tigers. When some of Su Zhe's fans discovered this special coincidence, they replaced the dolls they had prepared with tiger puppets.

On the ice, after the performance, Su Zhe bowed and saluted to the audience around him with a smile, and then slid to the edge of the ice rink amid the reluctant gazes of all the audience.

At the edge of the ice rink, Cui Yi gave Su Zhe a warm hug after he approached him and congratulated him on his successful performance of the new program.

"Good performance." Cui Yi patted Su Zhe's shoulder with a smile.

Cui Yi turned his gaze towards the referee's seat and said, "The rest depends on how the judges will score."

The author has something to say: I kneel down... I hold my head in my hands, t__t Every time I announce the specific time, it’s basically a failure. I’m so bad... I kneel down to everyone...

orz The figure skating chapter is written much slower than the previous track and field chapter. I can't finish it within the estimated coding time. I'm sorry

Well, the next chapter will still be after midnight tonight, so don’t wait too late. See you in the next chapter, muah!
