Since Michiko, a Japanese student studying in China, uploaded Su Zhe's performance to Nitsubu and Japanese figure skating discussion boards, Su Zhe has gained a certain degree of fame in Japan.
In the China Cup, the grand prize competition after the national championships, Su Zhe single-handedly made the entire judging panel implement extremely strict scoring standards, and ultimately won the second place.
With such achievements and after seeing Su Zhe's performance again in the live broadcast, not only Japanese ice skaters, but also many ice skaters from other countries also remembered this fascinating Chinese figure skater.
In this Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, many people were excited after seeing Su Zhe on the Chinese team roster and were looking forward to another wonderful performance from this new Chinese talent.
As an international student in China, Michiko was of course familiar with some figure skating forums in China. When she was collecting some information about Su Zhe in the forums of the Kingdom of Ice and Snow, she first saw that Su Zhe was going to perform a new program in the 4th competition. Before she was overwhelmed by the surprise, she saw another new news that Su Zhe was not only a figure skater, but also trained in sprinting.
For a moment, Michiko wondered if the Chinese she had learned in the past few years was not good enough. Why did she see an athlete who was both a figure skater and a sprinter?
But after she verified the news repeatedly, she was sure that it was true.
Even so, she hesitated again and again and only posted the news that Su Zhe would perform a new program in the April competition on the daily Twitter and figure skating discussion board.
The news came as a surprise to Japanese ice fans. After all, it is rare for figure skaters to prepare new programs on the fly during the season. Such temporary preparations are too hasty for both skaters and choreographers, and it is difficult to produce quality works.
Although I admire Su's artistic expression, his decision this time was too hasty. I am really worried about the two new programs he will bring this time.
This argument appeared frequently on figure skating discussion boards and Japanese Twitter, and sparked quite a discussion before the April competition officially started.
January 25, T City
According to the schedule, the men's singles short program will start at 4:35 this afternoon. In the morning, all participating men's singles players will have a period of on-ice practice time at the competition site to allow the players to adapt to the ice surface and practice in advance.
When Su Zhe, Wang Wei and Xu Yihe arrived at the ice rink for practice, there were already many players who had arrived early, including Tian Haiyi and others whom Su Zhe met during C.
Unlike last time, the one who came with Amami Tsubasa this time was obviously not the lively and extroverted Yuto Tsukawa, but the introverted and low-key looking Yuto Tsukawa.
Wang Wei, who was standing nearby, saw Yuto Tsukawa and muttered to Suzhe, "Except at the World Championships and Grand Prix finals, the Tsukawa brothers rarely appear on the same field at the same time. This time it's Yuto Tsukawa who's here, so it looks like Yuto Tsukawa won't be here this time."
Su Zhe turned to look at Wang Wei thoughtfully, "Ah Wei, you know a lot about these gossips."
Hearing Su Zhe's question, Wang Wei froze for a moment, then quickly waved his hands and laughed dryly, "No, no, I just followed my dad since I was a child, so I know a little more."
"Hmm." Su Zhe nodded calmly and didn't continue to pay attention to this issue.
Wang Wei followed Su Zhe and wiped the non-existent cold sweat off his forehead. He thought about his own usernames in the Ice and Snow Kingdom and the Cao Ge username that he had recently registered in the Track and Field Kingdom, and decided to keep his own usernames more tightly in the future.
The pre-match public practice session at the T City Comprehensive Gymnasium was not open to the public. However, because this was the top figure skating competition, many winter sports media from T City or abroad came to watch the competition, and the pre-match practice session was still open to these media reporters.
Among these media, many domestic media were delighted when they saw Su Zhe appear.
Among the current domestic figure skaters, Su Zhe is undoubtedly the one with the best performance, the most talked-about and the most fan traffic in the past six months. Not long ago, neither the figure skating national team nor the track and field national team gave reporters the opportunity to interview him in both figure skating and sprinting. This time, they caught the real culprit, so they naturally aimed their short-range guns at Su Zhe.
The reporter from the Sports Channel took the lead in asking the question, "Hello, I am Hou Xian, a reporter from the Sports Channel. Athlete Su Zhe, both the national figure skating team and the national track and field team have admitted that you were doing the sprint trials for the track and field team while you were doing figure skating training. However, this period is the intense preparation period for the 4th. Are you also doing sprint training during this period?"
In fact, before this competition, Cui Yi and the people in the figure skating club had already reminded Su Zhe that the reporters he met recently would definitely raise related questions during the interview. They also reminded him not to take it too seriously and just answer them confidently and generously.
Su Zhe did not evade, but gave a positive answer very calmly.
When the reporter later asked whether sprint training would interfere with his figure skating preparations, Su Zhe calmly denied it and said that he believed the audience would be able to see his true condition in the subsequent official competitions.
Hou Xian didn't expect Su Zhe to be so strong. After the interview, he smiled and gave Su Zhe a thumbs up, cheering for Su Zhe in the competition and looking forward to his performance in the official competition.
At 4:35 pm, when the men's singles short program officially began, the venue was already full.
As the top competition in figure skating, the fans it attracts are far more than just ice fans in one city. Many figure skating enthusiasts from all over the world will travel thousands of miles to the scene just to watch a competition that brings together many top athletes.
Nagasaki Masami is such a devout figure skating enthusiast. As a philanthropic ice fan, she has her favorite athletes in men's singles, women's singles, pairs skating and ice dancing. Coincidentally, on April 4, this grand event took place, so she traveled thousands of miles from Japan to City T, China, just to experience this ice feast in person.
In the men's singles short program competition in the afternoon, she had already recorded her favorite players and their appearance order in a memo book so that she could keep up to date with the progress of the competition and when the players she expected would appear.
On the Internet, in the Ice and Snow Kingdom forum, someone has already opened a special forum to discuss today's four men's singles short program.
Everyone in the Ice and Snow Kingdom has been looking forward to Season 4 for a long time. What everyone is most concerned about is undoubtedly Su Zhe's personal condition and how he is preparing for the new program.
The reason for worrying about his personal condition is, of course, that although Su Zhe achieved good results in the Nice Cup, Su Zhe had just started his sprint training at the Nice Cup, and the impact on Su Zhe was not that great. From the exposure of Su Zhe's multi-event training to this 4, Su Zhe was not only training in multi-events at the same time, but also arranging new programs at the same time.
It can be said that the combined sprinting training has had an impact on Su Zhe's figure skating training during this period. From these four competitions, we can see more clearly how much impact the combined sprinting training has on Su Zhe.
In the discussion forum, many forum users are worried about this, but some are quite optimistic.
8 I don't think we need to worry too much. After all, Suzhe is a member of the figure skating team. If the 4-4 competition really shows that sprinting has a great impact on Suzhe, then the figure skating team will definitely not let Suzhe continue to do sprinting. If it is just sacrificing this 4-4 competition so that Suzhe can focus on figure skating in the future, then I think it is worth it.
As soon as this statement came out, many ice fans in the forums were enlightened and expressed their agreement.
However, before the voices of approval reached a few floors, some accounts that looked like small ones suddenly started to speak out in this building.
15th OP brother, is there a live link for this 4-ball game?
17 Please don't beg me, just do your best in this competition and don't do anything stupid. You are just talking nonsense. Su Zhe's sprinting talent is really extraordinary. In China, there are only one Chen Zhi and one him in the past few decades. Damn, if he can't continue his sprinting training because he doesn't perform well in this figure skating competition, what the hell is this?
The members of the Ice and Snow Forum were confused for a moment by these remarks, and then they realized that these small accounts seemed to be track and field enthusiasts who had come over from the neighboring Track and Field Kingdom Forum.
Because of Su Zhe's incident, many people in the Ice and Snow Kingdom have registered secondary accounts in the Athletics Kingdom to learn about some track and field related information. And today, because the 4th competition started, the big brothers in the Athletics Kingdom have obviously also opened their own secondary accounts and went to the enemy camp, waiting to learn the first-hand information about Su Zhe in this competition.
The poster of the forum did not know whether to laugh or cry, but he still edited the address of the sports channel's live broadcast room on the homepage to guide the track and field fans in the track and field kingdom to watch the game together.
As the competition unfolded, the topic of discussion turned back to the comments on the short program performances of the players.
Since the order of the 4 short programs was selected by drawing lots, after the 30 players were divided into 5 groups, the strength of the players in each group was actually uneven.
It is possible that the previous player's personal world ranking is only 30 or 40, while the next player suddenly rises to the top five in the world. Therefore, in the short program competition, the ranking difference in scores between the players who play first and second may be very large.
Many players will feel scared when they see top players like Yuto Tsukawa and Igor in their group. If they have poor psychological quality and appear before or after the top players, they are likely to suffer a setback in their performance.
Fortunately, Su Zhe's two teammates Wang Wei and Xu Yihe were both very strong in psychological quality. Although one of them was in the same group with Igor and the other was in the same group with Grant and Yuto Tsukawa of the American team, they both performed at their best and achieved good results.
Before Suzhe's fifth group of players came on stage, Igor, with his outstanding performance, overtook Yuto Tsukawa and temporarily ranked first with a score of 9061 in the short program. Yuto Tsukawa, at this time, temporarily ranked second with a score of 8979.
After the fourth group of players finished their performances, the ice was cleared. After this clearing, the last group of players in the game officially stepped onto the ice rink for a short 6-minute practice session amid the audience's expectations.
