Chapter 73 Sochi Free Dance Competition Begins
Can they maintain their current position?
"Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi! Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi!"
There was a thunderous cheer from the audience. The Chinese audience called out the names of the two contestants rhythmically and waved the dazzling five-star red flag in their hands.
The stadium with 12,000 people was a dazzling red. Ji Tiantian stood up from the waiting area and waved to the audience. Looking at the red in front of her, hot tears accumulated in her eyes.
Judy Jayne from Canada and Aurora Ivanov from Russia also couldn't help but look at the score display screen at this time.
Judy's hands clenched into fists at her sides.
How could it be possible that an Asian team could get this score? They have never gotten it before!
However, thinking back on Ji Tang's performance just now, there is indeed nothing wrong with this score.
Ji Tang made no mistakes in the two parts of the pattern dance, the pattern dance was level 4, the step sequence was level 3, and the synchronized twist and lift was level 4. There were no flaws or mistakes in the technical movements, and the judges did not give a high score for the program content...
Judy clenched her fists even tighter. She couldn't help but look up at Ji Tiantian who was hugging the coaches.
Ji Tiantian was wearing a set of cheap accessories that were annoying. However, her performance just now easily made people ignore these cheap accessories. Or rather, her performance made these cheap accessories look very shiny. It was incredible that an Asian's performance could be so... fascinating.
As Judy thought about this, her dissatisfaction gradually turned into uneasiness. She began to worry about herself.
She and her partner were fifth in the World Championships last season. Her past performance was not brilliant, but it was good enough. She has a large number of fans internationally and is highly regarded by her coach.
Before she left, her country's leaders also gave her the task of maintaining the fifth place in the Winter Olympics. If she failed to do so, Canada's second ice dancer might be replaced, and it would not be her who represented the country in the next competition. Then, she would fall from the ice arena at a very fast speed, forgotten by fans and abandoned by coaches. And all these disasters started this season, with an Asian duo's extraordinary performance.
Judy stared in horror at the excellent short dance scores of the Chinese contestants on the display screen.
No, don't panic. Compared with the Asian combination, she has an innate P score advantage. Her P score has never been low since the beginning of the competition!
With the P points, it is not impossible to surpass the Chinese group in the short dance. Yes, just like the Japanese station!
As for the free dance, she and her partner Jayne have already undergone intensive training, and they will definitely perform better than in Japan. It is not impossible for them to beat the Chinese team this time.
Judy thought about this and gradually calmed down.
"Dear viewers, we are currently broadcasting the short dance competition of the Iceberg Skating Palace at the Sochi Winter Olympics." The host's voice was enthusiastic in the live broadcast room of the sports radio station. "Just now, our Chinese contestants, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi, finished their short dance competition! They got a high score of 72.03, which is also the best short dance result in their careers and their best result in this season!"
The host suppressed his excitement and continued after a while: "Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi are the first ice dance pair with a total score of more than 60 points today, and the first pair with a score of more than 70 points! It's really amazing! I just got the results of the previous large-scale international competitions, the China Cup and the Japan NHK Cup, and you can compare them horizontally. The first place in the short dance in the China Cup is Darya and Nikolay from Russia, and their short dance score is 75.21. The first place in the short dance in the Japan NHK Cup is American player Rita Thompson, and their score is 70.02. These two pairs of players are also the first in the sub-station. Although as the season progresses, the scores of each pair of players, especially the high-ranking players, will increase to a certain extent, but I believe that Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi's score is very competitive in today's competition! If the free dance is stable, there will be no problem in the top five!"
"Let us congratulate our young ice dancers for their perfect performance in the first short dance at the Winter Olympics! Congratulations to Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi!"
At this moment, Chinese audiences from all over the world can hear the host's proud voice through the TV station.
"Did you watch the ice dance competition between Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi?"
"It's very good. If you haven't seen it, remember to replay it!"
"Oh, is this the ice dance group from The Story of the Ming Palace? I haven't paid attention to them for a long time. I'm going to go watch it!"
On Weibo and other social networking sites, information about Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi was constantly being updated. The related topic - "Chinese ice dance is making an impact towards the fifth place in the world" was gradually becoming a hot search.
More and more people turned on their TVs to watch the ice dance short dance competition, and more and more netizens joined the discussion.
However, the competition was still tense.
After Ji Tang finished the competition, the five pairs of ice dance short dance group 4 began to warm up. After warming up, the five pairs of ice dance short dance group 4 entered the stage according to the order of the group draw, and the fierce competition continued.
"Sister Tiantian and Brother Yi should be able to secure their place in the top five this time," Ni Chuan asked Feifei beside him.
"Not sure yet." Feifei looked nervous. "The scores of athletes in the Winter Olympics will increase to a certain extent at the beginning of the teaching season. I'm afraid that the increase of other athletes will exceed that of Tiantang."
Ni Chuan calmed himself down and looked at the ice surface nervously.
Next up was Canada's third group, Mia Lucas. They missed a key point, with one pattern dance getting a level 3, the transition steps getting a level 3, and the other moves getting a level 4. The short dance scored 69.21.
Seeing Mia Lucas' score come out, Liu Hui and Zhang Lilian, who were holding hands tightly in the audience, breathed a sigh of relief together.
Next up was the Spanish team No. 1, who had a higher short dance score than Ji Tang in the team competition. This time they still made two mistakes and scored 65.01. For Ji Tang now, the Spanish team was no longer competitive.
Finally, the much-anticipated fifth group of five ice dance pairs came on stage to warm up.
The audience from various countries on the field began to cheer. The short dance grouping was based on the performance of the current season. The stronger the strength, the later the performance. The contestants in the fifth group happened to be the top five in the world championships last season. Their performance order was also the reverse order of their ranking in the world championships last season.
After the warm-up, Judy Jayne, who finished fifth in the last World Championships, took the court.
Judy wore a set of sparkling high-end jewelry as accessories, and attracted everyone's attention as soon as she came on stage. Even Ji Tiantian couldn't help but look at her repeatedly. In the audience, Canadian ice hockey fans waved maple leaf flags and cheered for them.
To the cheerful quickstep music, they quickly finished their short dance.
Judy Jayne's technical score was 32.81, technical performance score was 36.50, and short dance score was 69.31, which was lower than Ji Tang's score of 72.03.
"Canada's No. 2 ice hockey team has not improved in terms of technology compared to the Japanese competition." In the audience, a senior Chinese ice hockey fan said to his companion with a smile, "They also made two mistakes in the key points of the pattern dance, and the transition step is still level three... But their opponent Tiantang has been improving. Before, they could suppress Tiantang with P points in the short dance, but this time, they can't suppress it."
"Great! I didn't surpass Sister Tiantian and Brother Yi!" Ni Chuan looked at the display screen and clenched his fists. "I'm sure I'll be in the top five this time!"
"Although their P scores have always been high, they have no chance of winning given Tiantang's absolute technical advantage." Feifei nodded and spoke.
Judy looked at the display screen in a daze. Her dream was shattered. With the Chinese team's almost tough technical performance, her P-point advantage was of no help at all.
It's not like she hasn't competed with Ji Tang before, and she knows that their free dance is stronger than the short dance. The short dance has a gap of nearly 3 points, so the gap in the free dance will only be bigger.
Unless the Chinese team makes serious mistakes.
But judging from their performance in the team competition and the short dance, the possibility of them making mistakes is not high.
"The fifth one can't be saved..." Judy murmured after realizing the fact and collapsed on the ground.
"Judy, cheer up!" Judy's male partner Jayne encouraged her, "There's still free dance!"
Judy didn't answer, still looking distraught.
Next up was the second goose, Aurora and Ivanov. They made a mistake in a key point, with some pattern dances getting level three, the transition steps getting level three, and other difficult movements getting level four.
The short dance technique score was 33.71, the program content score was 36.92, and the short dance score was 70.63, which was also behind Ji Tang who scored 72.03.
"Great! Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi defeated the fourth place in the World Championships!"
"Wow! Oh my god, I'm definitely going to be in the top five this time!"
"Come on, Sweetie! Come on!"
The Chinese audience in the stadium was extremely nervous and excited.
Liu Hui and Zhang Lilian held each other's hands tightly, their eyes full of worry. Mothers are always the most sympathetic to their children. When they saw Ji Tang get an excellent ranking, they could also see the corresponding blood and sweat.
Zhang Lilian really wanted to bear the pain for Ji Tiantian, but she couldn't. Just like the achievement and cheers in front of her were only for Ji Tiantian, the pain could only belong to her. This was a path she had to walk alone.
However, from the perspective of a dancer, Zhang Lilian was very fortunate that her daughter could come to such a large venue and give a wonderful performance.
This is what a dancer desires in his life.
Zhang Lilian looked around the entire stadium with a sad yet proud smile.
Aurora came out of the waiting area angrily, came to Judy, and grabbed Judy from the ground.
At this moment, Aurora's face no longer had the calmness she had before the game started.
"Didn't you say that Chinese groups are not good at short dances?" Aurora didn't even bother to maintain her composure, her beautiful face distorted with anger.
The domestic competition in the United States is even more intense than that in Canada. All athletes present are burdened with performance targets. If they fail to meet them, they may lose their place in the international competition next season. Under such tremendous pressure, she certainly cannot be calm about the results.
"I, I don't know..." Judy still looked distraught, unable to recover from the huge blow that Ji Tang brought her.
"How come you don't know?" Aurora couldn't help but raise her voice, "Didn't you go to the ice dance school to see them train?"
Judy slowly came back to her senses under the stimulation of the huge volume. "So what?" Judy screamed back, "Even if I knew they were good, so what? Telling you, can you surpass them? Don't you think they just relied on luck to beat Katerin and win the World Youth Championship?"
Aurora was stunned by Judy's scream. She knew that what Judy said was right.
She really thought so. In her opinion, Katerin was not to be feared at all. After breaking up with her dance partner, her mentality collapsed and her strength dropped significantly. She didn't take such a domestic competitor seriously.
The combination that won the World Youth Gold Medal during the breakup with Katerin, and which is an Asian group that does not have an advantage in P points, is also not to be feared.
But today, after watching Ji Tang's short dance, Aurora realized that she was wrong.
It is precisely because they are Asian that they have climbed to their current position. They must be better and more stable than other European and American groups.
"You've always been ahead of me, that's impressive, right?" Judy looked at the absent-minded Aurora, sneered, and continued, "Do you think that the Asian team that defeated me can't do anything to you? But you saw the result, right?"
Aurora blinked and looked at Judy in surprise. Judy gave her a slightly twisted smile.
Judy had been trying to pretend to be enthusiastic and cheerful, trying to get close to the group in front of her, picking faults with the group behind her, and trying to build good relationships with them. But she knew very well that the groups in front of her looked down on her, especially Aurora. Deep down, she naturally hated Aurora very much. Now, she didn't want to bother to maintain this hypocritical friendship.
"Now you know how it feels to be stepped on by someone you hate, right?" Judy looked at Aurora and sneered again.
"You..." After a brief moment of shock, Aurora quickly regained her usual calmness and showed a proud smile, "No, I'm different from you. Free dance is my strong point, have you forgotten? My free dance steps are up to level 4. I will definitely surpass the Chinese team, unlike you, who can only be stepped on by others."
"Say it again!" Under the dual stimulation of anger and pressure, Judy screamed and rushed towards Aurora, and the two beautiful ice dancers began to pull each other's hair.
Fortunately, the male partners of the two contestants discovered and stopped the fight in time, and the fight did not last too long.
But Ji Tiantian and many other contestants still saw this scene.
"Do you know why they were fighting?" Ji Tiantian asked Tang Yi beside her in confusion.
"I don't know." Tang Yi shook his head.
"That's so weird... I saw them chatting happily before the game."
Ji Tiantian looked at Aurora and Judy with messy hair, and inexplicably thought of the saying that every evildoer will be punished by his own evildoer.
The next to take the stage was the American No. 1 pair Rita Thompson. Ji Tang had also played against them in the NHK Cup.
This is a pair of male partners who are more flamboyant, while the female partners follow and depend on each other. The male partner Thompson seems to be very good at fast-paced social dance.
They finished the competition quickly. They did not make any mistakes in the key points. Their technical movements were graded the same as Ji Tang's. The step-to-step dance was graded at grade three, and the two-part pattern dance and the lifting and synchronizing twist were graded at grade four.
Their technical score was 36.36, program content score was 36.83, and short dance score was 73.19, surpassing Ji Tang.
“If the technical moves are rated the same, Tiantang will definitely be outdone…” a Chinese ice fan in the audience sighed.
"There's nothing we can do about it. It's internationally accepted that Asians don't have an advantage in P scores..."
"And this American duo is ranked third in the world... It's hard to shake the world's third place. It's great that Tiantang can stay in the top five in this Winter Olympics!"
"Ah... I'm just worried about Tiantang's future. I really hope they can go further..."
After Rita and Thompson, the next on stage was Russia's number one duo, Daria Nikolai.
The world No. 2 is undoubtedly capable. Dalia and Nikolay started with a series of steps, using their blades very deeply, leaving clean and wide arcs on the ice. Then, they entered the pattern dance to the cheerful quickstep music.
At the first key point of the second part where Ji Tiantian often made mistakes, Dalia also made a mistake. But her steps were very steady, and although she missed the edge, she still stepped firmly on the beat.
She had a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened, and her red hair fluttered on the ice like a flag.
After the pattern dance, Darya stepped on the skates of her partner Nikolai and skated forward along the arc. Amid the applause, Darya raised one hand high with a proud smile on her face.
Ji Tiantian was also a little dazed when she saw her smile. That smile didn't seem to be performed.
Even though she made a mistake in a key point, she still felt from the bottom of her heart that she was the most dazzling person in this game. That was why she showed such a beautiful smile.
Darya Nikolay finished the race and came to the equal area amid loud cheers.
Their technical score was 37.82, program content score was 38.78, and short dance score was 76.60.
One key point went wrong, so part of the pattern dance was downgraded to level 3, while the other part of the pattern dance, the lifting and synchronised twisting were all level 4. In addition, the referee judged their step sequence to be level 4.
Ji Tiantian took a deep breath. The audience cheered loudly in his ears, but the cheers could not cover up the rumbling heartbeat of Ji Tiantian. This was the first time he watched the highest level of step sequence at such a close distance.
The Big Goose No. 1 combination has a deep blade and fast glide, while also being elegant. There is nothing wrong with this rating.
Ji Tiantian clenched her fists lightly. Because she had a goal, she felt infinite anticipation in her heart.
The last pair to perform were Victoria and William, the No. 1 ice dance pair in the World Championships and Canada.
Compared with Daria and Nikolai, this Canadian duo is more stable. Even when they are skating in a cheerful quickstep, their gestures are orderly, with the style of old-time European and American aristocrats, reserved and elegant. As they skate, the rhythm seems to slow down by itself.
They finished their short dance and came to the equal section, and soon their scores were shown on the display.
The technical score was 39.38, the program content score was 39.56, and the short dance score was 78.94.
Their movements are rated at the full level, that is, the two-part pattern dance is correct in one key point, the lift, the synchronous twist and even the connecting steps are all level four.
"Great!" The Canadian audience cheered in the audience, "Champion! Champion!"
"Victoria William! Champion!"
"Such a high score, it must be the highest grade!"
"Great! Full rating!"
“Full rating… sounds impressive, but actually it’s just one level higher than our step sequence.” A Chinese ice fan whispered.
"The step sequence reflects the skater's skating skills, and each level is a watershed." Another ice fan said with emotion, "The step sequence grading is usually the most intuitive reflection of the skater's skating level and ranking. Generally, the referee will not easily give a pair of skaters a level 4 step sequence."
"I think the step sequence thing is quite mysterious, the ice surface coverage and dance posture... Hey, but Tiantian and Tang Yi have already secured the top five, I am satisfied."
At the edge of the ice, Victoria and William hugged their coach and other players, including Mia Lucas, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi.
Then Ji Tiantian looked at the results display. Victoria William finished the competition, which also meant that the first short dance competition of ice dance was officially over.
The ranking of all players is shown on the display screen, the top few are:
First place: Victoria Williams of Canada 78.94
2nd place Darya Nikolay of Russia 76.60
3rd place: Rita Thompson, USA 73.19
4th place: China Ji Tiantian Tang Yi 72.03
5th place: Aurora Ivanov of Russia 70.63
6th place: Judy Jayne of Canada 69.31
7th place: Mia Lucas of Canada, 69.21
Japanese contestant Suzuki Kotani lost the qualification for the second free dance competition because she failed to rank in the top 20.
The 20 pairs of contestants who are eligible to enter the free dance session need to be divided into four groups of five pairs for warm-up in reverse order of their short dance scores.
The 20th to 16th pairs were the first group to warm up, and then they drew lots to decide the order of performance. Ji Tang ranked fourth in the short dance and warmed up in the last group with the other pairs ranked 1 to 5.
The 20 pairs of ice dancers who advanced to the free dance stage quickly drew lots for the free dance after the short dance. Ji Tang was drawn to be the third in the fourth group. Aurora Ivanov and Rita Thompson from the United States will appear before them in the same group.
The first day of the short dance competition ended with a cheerful quickstep. The audience reluctantly left the venue and went to nearby hotels to rest.
"Great! Fourth place in short dance!" Ni Chuan walked out of the venue with other audience members, talking to Feifei excitedly, "Sister Tiantian and Brother Yi are really getting better and better!"
"I watched the team competition. Tiantang's performance was average. I thought she had no chance of making the top five..."
"Alas, that's how competitions are. If you don't watch until the end, you'll never know what the result will be."
"Ouch, I'm so nervous."
The other audience members left one after another while chatting.
Accompanied by her coach, Ji Tiantian immediately went back to her room to rest, recharge her energy, and wait for the free dance the next day.
Late at night, figure skating forums around the world were excitedly discussing ice dancing at the Winter Olympics.
The domestic Winter Olympics ice dancing discussion thread is also very lively.
1012L: Hahaha, folks, I saw all kinds of slaps in the face on foreign forums. Many foreigners think that Tiantang has no chance of making the top five. But what is the truth?
1013L: Don't say that, Tiantang went to Sochi just to slap people in the face. To make you look down on Asian athletes, you must be dumbfounded, hahahaha.
1014L: Really, besides the audience, many foreign players also didn't expect that there would be such good Chinese players. I was at the scene and saw that the pair of Big Goose No. 2 and Canada No. 2 looked very unhappy. Hahaha, cool. They must have thought that Ji Tang would be easy to beat.
1015L: Generally speaking, Tiantang's short dance is not as good as her free dance. But this time her short dance was also great. I think their free dance will be even better! They are sure to be in the top five!
1016L: I have to say that Tiantang has a strong mentality. She played very steadily against a strong country in ice dancing. Maybe this is also related to her experience in team battles.
1017L: They really are gaining combat experience while fighting, that's amazing6666.
At the same time, the topic "I've never seen such a thing! Chinese ice dance has entered the top five!" quickly jumped to the top three of the trending search list on Weibo, and continued to rise. The number of followers of Ji Tang's Weibo account continued to increase.
A separate discussion thread about Ji Tang was also opened on a large foreign figure skating forum, and the popularity of the topic continues to grow.
Post title: What ranking do you think China's JT will get this time?
1L: I think they can only be fifth at most. It is good enough for an Asian group to be in the top five. Aurora will surpass JT in the free dance.
2L: I agree with the above. Aurora's P score is always high, and it is said that Aurora's free dance sequence is likely to reach level 4!
3L: Yeah, I like Aurora and the others too! I look forward to their follow-up step 4! They will definitely overtake!
4L: Oh, I am still looking forward to JT’s quintuple twist.
5L: How should I put it? The five-week twist is the icing on the cake. If JT and his opponent are at the same level, the five-week twist can really make JT stand out. But if JT's follow-up step is level 3 and his opponent is level 4, the five-week twist will not be very useful. JT will definitely be overtaken.
6L: Yes, the step sequence is the key to the free dance. There is only one step sequence in the short dance, and the difference in skating strength among the top five pairs is not obvious. There are two sets of free dances, and the ones with good skating stand out immediately. JT is young and an Asian player, so I feel their ranking will fall.
7L: From this perspective, Aurora is more likely to be ranked first...
8L: Yeah, I also think it’s good that JT can get fifth place. Looking forward to the free dance~
In the blink of an eye, it was the opening day of the free dance.
Outside the Iceberg Skating Palace, there were still many toy vendors and scalpers. After all, it was the final ice dance competition, so naturally there would be more people watching than the short dance. For a while, the free dance tickets in the hands of scalpers were sold at sky-high prices.
Qian Xiyue held the ticket she got through her teammates and lined up to enter. She got the ticket very late, and the seat was not very good, in the corner, so she couldn't sit with Ji Tang's relatives and friends who got the tickets in advance.
Just a few days ago, Qian Xiyue finished her alpine downhill race and got 18th place. The ranking was not very high, but she was very happy to be able to complete the race successfully this time.
Qian Xiyue took a deep breath, then looked around. A group of people who wanted to enter but didn't have tickets gathered around the skating palace, waiting for people who decided to buy tickets at the last minute, or soft-hearted scalpers. Perhaps because they knew that this free dance was destined to be exciting, there were quite a few people waiting for tickets, and there was a large crowd outside the skating palace.
Qian Xiyue couldn't help but smile, then looked away. However, she accidentally glanced at a familiar figure. She looked closely and it seemed to be the ice dancer Katerin from the Big Goose wearing a hat.
Katelin often likes Ji Tiantian's posts on the Internet. As a close friend of Ji Tiantian, Qian Xiyue is familiar with Katelin's face. Katelin is also waiting in the queue for ticket check. She lowered her head, as if she didn't want to be recognized by the die-hard fans.
Qian Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then looked away. As expected, many people were looking forward to this match.
Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi checked each other's costumes for the last time on the ice. Their costumes today were much simpler than the short dance, and Ji Tiantian just combed her hair into a simple ponytail, with her black hair falling down along her slender neck like satin.
"How do you feel?" Xu Chi asked Ji Tiantian.
"My legs hurt a little bit again..." Ji Tiantian whispered. This season, she had been suffering from repeated leg muscle strains, and competitions and more intense training would stimulate the injury.
"But it's okay, I've adapted to it." She came back to her senses, curved her eyes and gave the coach a confident smile. She had also experienced pain in her previous life, and over a long period of time, she had learned how to reconcile with pain.
Xu Chi looked at Ji Tiantian and didn't speak for a while.
"This time... can we do the quintuple twist?" Ji Tiantian looked at Xu Chi cautiously, a little worried that the coach would suddenly stop her from doing it again.
For this free dance, they prepared two versions in advance: a four-week twist and a five-week twist, just to avoid unexpected situations.
"Tang Yi and I are ready." She looked at Tang Yi and said this.
"This is your first Winter Olympics. You must take care of your health so that you can participate in more Winter Olympics in the future. And I have great faith in your abilities. Even without the quintuple twist, you can still be in the top five." Xu Chi looked into Ji Tiantian's eyes seriously.
After a while, he suddenly smiled, "But this is your Winter Olympics after all, your will is the most important. Since you have already made up your mind, just give it a try! Let those foreigners see the strength of Chinese athletes!"
"Okay!" Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi responded together.
Ji Tiantian turned around and looked back. The packed auditorium was in an uproar.
The flags of Canada, Russia, the United States and China are particularly dazzling.
Aurora walked past her and cast a hostile look at her, but she didn't care.
She subconsciously reached out to cover her chest, feeling the strong heartbeat.
This is their heyday.
The results are not the most important thing. The most important thing is that she will dance in front of so many people.
The expectations of the young Ji Tiantian and the Ji Tiantian in her previous life were intertwined with her expectations, surging in the depths of her soul.
She would definitely give it her all.
"Hello everyone watching TV. I'm currently at the Iceberg Skating Palace in Sochi." On-site reporter Xiao Lu is still reporting live on the sports TV station. "The ice dance free dance competition is about to begin. Our contestants, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi, are ready. After the short dance, they are ranked fourth. Today's free dance will ultimately determine whether they can maintain their current position."
Xiao Lu took a deep breath, his eyes sparkling with pride: "But one thing is certain, that is, this is the first time that China's ice dance short dance has reached this level! Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi, they have completed an unprecedented breakthrough! No matter how they perform in the free dance, they will be our pride! They have created proud results in the Winter Olympics! Let us cheer for the two players!"
"Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi! Ji Tiantian! Tang Yi!" Rhythmic shouts rang out from the audience.
The free dance competition officially begins.
