Chapter 75 Sochi Winter Olympics Results
◎When the siege spears are sharp enough◎
"Ji Tang is really amazing!" A foreign ice fan couldn't help but exclaimed, "I can feel their surging emotions, surging towards me like a tide."
"The technical moves and performances were great..."
"I finally understand why this pair of Chinese players suddenly jumped to the front."
"Yeah, I couldn't really relate to their Chinese style free dance before, but this time it was different. Their emotions completely swept me away."
The music ended, but Ji Tiantian did not come back to her senses immediately. She was still immersed in the free dance, still maintaining the ending posture, looking up.
The applause continued, she slowly came back to her senses, blinked her eyes, and then, hot tears fell. She stretched out her hands to cover her cheeks.
The last set of quite difficult "8" step sequence was modified after they discussed with the choreographer after finishing the competition in Japan.
In order to prevent any unexpected situations, they did not give up the original simple version. In order to ensure that the injury would not be aggravated, in the team competition, they used the simple step sequence version, and the twist was always a combination of four weeks, four weeks, three weeks.
The combination of the figure-8 step and the five-week twist made their free dance more difficult. When they usually practiced, the success rate of this most difficult free dance was not high.
Either there is a problem with the twist synchronization rate, or the connection steps are not well coordinated.
Ji Tiantian did not expect to be so successful in the individual events of the Winter Olympics.
No mistakes.
She performed this free dance with the mentality of giving it a try.
No matter what, you have to do it with the highest level of difficulty. It doesn't matter if you fail, it doesn't matter if you get hurt, and it doesn't matter if you collide.
As a dancer, it is her mission to present the most wonderful performances to the world. As an athlete, she knows very well that as an Asian athlete, she can only achieve outstanding results in the ice dance arena if she fights hard.
Only blood and sweat can water the miracle flower. But she never expected that this flower would bloom in the Winter Olympics.
But, but, it opened.
She covered her face, tears falling uncontrollably. She was panting heavily, feeling both excited and exhausted.
She poured all her skills and emotions into the free dance, and she seemed to have died once.
"Ji Tiantian! Don't cry! You are the best!"
"Sweet! Sweet!"
The Chinese audience screamed.
Tang Yi stood up, held Ji Tiantian in his arms with one hand to comfort her, while clenching his other hand into a fist at his side.
Being able to complete this difficult free dance, his usually calm heart was filled with excitement.
"Tang Yi, I did it..." Ji Tiantian choked up in Tang Yi's arms, "I didn't... I didn't let Wei Xiao and Chang Yu down..."
"They will definitely be proud of you." Tang Yi gently patted Ji Tiantian's back and said firmly in her ear, "Everyone will be proud of you."
The applause and cheers continued. In the middle of the ice, Ji Tiantian stood on tiptoes and hugged her dance partner tightly.
"Dear audience friends, our ice dancers Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi have just completed a very beautiful ice dance free dance." The host of the sports TV station is giving a real-time commentary to the audience, "Their free dance shows two travelers who support each other. At the beginning, the girl was exhausted, but in order to reassure her companion, she tried her best to cheer up and continue to move forward with her companion. Then at the end, we can see that the boy was actually exhausted a long time ago. He had been struggling to support himself before, probably because he didn't want to worry the girl.
The host's voice was trembling. She was silent for a moment, adjusted her mood, and then continued: "I think the two contestants are using this dance to express their own difficult journey in ice dancing. This is how they support each other in real life. They don't want to worry each other, and try to show their best side. But what they express is not themselves, but the growth path of many athletes who are struggling. Friends who work hard in all walks of life can resonate with their free dance. I believe that Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi, as well as all the audience present, will eventually find their own miracle, and it is not far away."
The TV station's camera scanned the audience, and the faces of the muscular uncle who bought the scalped tickets and Qian Xiyue flashed by. They were both crying with red eyes, holding tissues. The camera also scanned the judges' seats, where two judges were also silently wiping tears.
On the ice, Ji Tiantian had calmed down and let go of Tang Yi. She sniffed, her eyes red, and a bright smile slowly bloomed on her tear-stained face.
She raised her hands high, then gracefully bent her knees to salute the audience. Although she had an injury on her leg, her salute was still done in a standard and proper manner.
"Ahhhh Tiantian! Tiantian you're the best!"
“It’s so beautiful!”
"Sweet sugar! Sweet sugar!"
The audience responded to the athletes' greetings with the warmest voices.
Dolls carrying the audience's favorites kept landing on the ice, including the Winter Olympics mascots, Sweet Goose, Melody, and some dolls whose names could not be told.
The little ice boys filed in and picked up the dolls on the ice. Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi picked up a few, then slid out of the ice and put on their hard knife sheaths.
Jiang Lin and Xu Chi hugged Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi. The two coaches didn't say anything, but from their strong arms, Ji Tiantian could feel their pride.
Without further delay, they headed to the waiting area together.
Jiang Lin put Ji Tiantian's hand on her shoulder, put her arm around her waist, and tried to make her walk as easy as possible.
On the way to the waiting area, many contestants who had finished the competition stood by and looked at Ji Tang with admiration and applauded them enthusiastically. Many of them were also moved by their free dance and cried with red eyes.
Mia and Lucas were also among these athletes. This powerful Canadian duo was not only Ji Tang's opponent and comrade in the youth group, but also his classmates in the ice dance school.
Now that I think about it, Mia and Lucas were born in a country of ice and snow, they came from wealthy families, they were quite capable, but they were not arrogant at all. It is really rare to have such friends.
Ji Tiantian stepped forward and hugged Mia tightly, and then gave Lucas a gentle hug. Lucas' eyes flashed with surprise, while Tang Yi frowned calmly.
"You performed perfectly." Lucas said to Ji Tiantian with an affirmative tone, "You can win a medal this time."
"Haha, thank you. We never thought about winning a medal." Ji Tiantian couldn't help laughing. "It would be great if we could get fourth place."
"Tiantian, you should have confidence in your strength." Lucas said.
Ji Tiantian just smiled when she heard this. It's not that she doesn't have confidence in her own ability, but she doesn't have confidence in the judges' scoring.
Asian contestants have never had an advantage in terms of scores, and it is harder for them to get points based on program content than European and American contestants. However, even Lucas, who has no airs, may not understand this.
She said goodbye to Mia and Lucas, and went to the waiting area with Tang Yi and the coach.
Mia silently watched Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi leave side by side with a relieved smile on her face.
"It feels so good for them to be together." Mia couldn't help but sigh, then turned to look at Lucas, "Lucas, I think you should give up Tiantian? Let them be together well."
Lucas sighed silently. He calmed down and looked at Tang Yi and Ji Tiantian's backs again, his eyes full of admiration.
Ji Tiantian was sitting in the waiting area, where cameras from many countries were pointed at them.
"Thank you everyone for watching our game!" Ji Tiantian smiled and waved to the camera, repeatedly expressing her gratitude in English and Chinese.
At this time, many Chinese and foreign spectators, including Ji Tiantian’s relatives and friends, were looking up at the results display screen, waiting for the final score.
Ni Chuan and Wang Hao couldn't wait to stand up, with uneasiness on their faces.
Ji Tiantian looked at the camera lens, listened to the noisy sounds on the field, and felt an indescribable warmth surging in her chest.
She knew that at this moment, many people were waiting for the scores to appear with them. In fact, they were not lonely travelers.
Soon, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi's free dance results appeared on the display screen.
Technical score 54.24, program content 55.82, total score 110.06.
Including 72.03 points for the short dance, the total score was 182.09.
Zhang Lilian, Liu Hui, Chen Yusheng, Feifei, and many other Chinese audience members, looking at the score display screen, couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands, tears falling uncontrollably.
After a brief silence, there was warm applause from the audience.
"Ahhhh 110! Free dance is at 110!"
"Sweet sugar! Sweet sugar!"
Excited Chinese ice fans jumped up and cheered, and the dazzling five-star red flag fluttered in the audience seats.
Amid the cheers, Zhang Lilian couldn't help crying. Qian Xiyue, who was sitting in the corner, couldn't help crying either. She wiped her tears and smiled.
"This extremely high technical score... does it mean that JT has a set of follow-up steps to reach level 4?" a foreign audience member in the audience asked his companions.
"Yes. They have mastered the legendary Level 4 follow-up step. And the execution level should not be low."
"The legendary Level 4 step sequence! Oh my god, this is the first time I've seen an Asian player pull it off!"
"Miracle! It's really a miracle!"
There were screams everywhere, but the waiting area was completely silent.
Ji Tiantian, Tang Yi, and the coach all stared at the score display screen in a daze.
This technical score shows that they have one set of connecting steps at level four and one set at level three. The other technical moves should all be at level four, and the execution level is not low.
Moreover, the score for the program content is not low. A rough estimate shows that the five sub-items under the program content should all be above 9. Out of the full score of 10, it got 9.
This is closely related to the perfect performance of the five-week twist and the connecting steps.
After thousands of times of refinement, we finally achieved perfect success.
This is a true miracle.
Ji Tiantian's vision blurred uncontrollably.
Tang Yi was also absent-minded for a moment.
The fourth-level connecting step that he couldn't touch in his previous life, he touched it in this life.
Under the guidance of Ji Tiantian, he stepped into the world of legends that he had never been able to reach before.
It turns out that this is what the world is like.
It was no different from the world he had lived in before.
However, in his chest, there surged an indescribable, strong feeling of happiness.
He came to his senses and hugged Ji Tiantian tightly. Ji Tiantian grabbed his arm tightly and burst into tears.
"Dear audience friends, the scores of our contestants Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi have come out. Their free dance score is 110.06. Their technical score is 54.24, and their program content score is 55.82."
The TV host who was giving the commentary couldn't help but tremble and choke up in his voice: "First... Generally speaking, Asian contestants' program content scores, that is, P scores, are relatively weaker than those of European and American contestants. But we can see that Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi's program content scores for this free dance are very good! They have surpassed the proud Russian combination Aurora Ivanov and the American combination Rita Thompson who finished earlier! This is enough to show how excellent their performance is! When the siege spears are sharp enough, even the most magnificent city will be conquered!"
As long as you are strong enough, everything impossible will become possible.
There can be miracles, When you believe.
When you believe, miracles will happen.
At this time in the Chinese capital, Wei Xiao, Chang Yu, and their head coach Coach Feng, who were sitting in front of the TV watching the game, were all wiping away tears.
They cried and laughed at the way others cried. Then they cried and laughed, and cried and laughed non-stop.
"Tang Yi and Tian Tian are really amazing this time." Chang Yu wiped his eyes hard and couldn't help laughing, "Oh, it's really amazing... Old Xu is also amazing, a talent scout, Tang Yi and Tian Tian were both discovered by him."
"Wait a minute... Did their total score exceed Rita Thompson's?" Wei Xiao suddenly grabbed Chang Yu's hand, "Does that mean..."
Chang Yu stopped laughing and looked at the TV intently.
"As long as you believe, miracles can happen! Congratulations to Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi for getting their season and career highest scores in the Winter Olympics!"
The host's enthusiastic voice came from the TV, "Their total score is 182.09, surpassing Rita Thompson's total score of 180.05 and ranking first! There are still two groups of contestants who have not competed yet, which means Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi have secured the third place! Dear audience friends, at today's Iceberg Skating Palace ice dance competition, our Chinese contestants, Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi, have already won a bronze medal! Congratulations to Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi for realizing their dreams in Sochi! Thank them for the miracle they created in early 2014!"
Wei Xiao stared at the TV in a daze, unable to come back to his senses for a while.
Chang Yu said nothing, but smiled with tears in his eyes. Then he opened his arms to Wei Xiao. Wei Xiao hugged him, and the two of them cried together.
At the competition site, the display screen showed the current ranking of the contestants. Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi's names were ranked at the highest point along with the dazzling five-star red flag.
“Ahhhh!” Chen Yusheng screamed excitedly, “Bronze medal!”
"Bronze medal! Bronze medal!" Liu Hui hugged Zhang Lilian who was crying non-stop, "Stop crying! The camera shows you looking so embarrassed!"
“Wow, wow, wow, I can’t control myself…” Zhang Lilian was still crying, “I’m just… really happy.”
Congratulations, Tiantian, you have found your own stage. From now on, the instep can no longer limit you.
I believe you will eventually reach the pinnacle of dancing.
Ni Chuan and Fei Fei stopped talking at this time. Their voices had long been hoarse from shouting, and they were wiping tears silently.
"Do you think this scene is similar to the World Youth Championship when we first met?" Ni Chuan cleared his throat and asked Feifei beside him, "At that time, Sister Tiantian and Brother Yi also won bronze medals."
"That's different. This is the Olympics." Feifei paused and turned to look around the crowded audience seats.
Some Chinese audiences were still cheering, while some foreigners were still stunned.
Feifei smiled, a proud smile blooming on her tear-stained face: "At that time, Tiantang only had us, but now, the whole world is cheering for them."
"Before, many foreigners thought that it was good enough for Tiantang to get fifth place. Now you see, they got medals! We don’t even care about fifth place!" A Chinese audience member in the audience said excitedly.
"I still find it unbelievable... I thought the referee would definitely block the Asians from getting medals!"
"Tiantang is not an ordinary Asian player! They are players who can bring changes to the entire ice dance event. Ice dance, the Winter Olympics, has become more shining with them. It is unacceptable for such players not to win a medal!"
"Today many people have seen Tiantang's strength, and they will not be buried!"
"Woo woo woo I always love sweets!"
Ji Tiantian calmed down, and she and Tang Yi left the waiting area amid the applause of the audience. After hugging the coaches again, Tang Yi supported Ji Tiantian and followed the staff to the small house next to the waiting area.
The top three ice dance pairs are sitting in this small house, which faces the ice and allows them to see the performance of other contestants.
If someone with a higher score comes, the person with the lowest score in the small house will leave. The person who stays in the small house at the end will be the contestant who will stand on the podium in the end.
Before Ji Tang, the people staying in the small house were the Canadian pair Judy Jayne with a total score of 170.59, the Russian pair Aurora Ivanov with a total score of 175.29, and the American pair Rita Thompson with a total score of 180.05.
Now, their scores are all lower than Ji Tang's total score of 182.09.
Because of Ji Tang's appearance, Judy Jane, who had the lowest score, had to leave. Judy stood up from the sofa in the small house, looking particularly ugly.
Since the NHK Cup, she has been unable to accept the fact that she was defeated by an Asian pair, but she has to accept it.
The gap of more than ten points is almost a crushing victory.
Before, she had been hypnotizing herself that she was defeated by the Chinese player with a small score difference in the NHK Cup because of bad luck.
But looking at the Winter Olympics, the Chinese pair seemed to have performed poorly during the NHK Cup.
It seemed like they were holding back a lot of energy and were only now getting serious about it.
"Judy, let's go." Seeing that his female companion looked unhappy, Jayne, the male companion, immediately spoke to comfort her, "It doesn't matter if we can't get fifth place. I think sixth place is pretty good. Look at how good the people ahead of us are. There's nothing to regret..."
"Shut up!" Judy walked away angrily, and Jayne followed immediately.
Tang Yi helped Ji Tiantian sit on the sofa where Judy Jayne had sat before. At this time, the small house was quiet and the atmosphere was a little subtle.
All the contestants in this small house, including Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi themselves, did not expect that they would come to this point and come to this small house.
Aurora from Big Goose No. 2 looked at Ji Tiantian, and her expression was not very good.
She really didn't expect that even though she had already performed the level 4 connecting step, this Chinese pair could still rank ahead of her.
She had thought they would at best be ahead of Judy Jayne.
Unexpectedly, they suddenly jumped up, performed a five-week twist with a four-level step connection, and immediately squeezed Rita Thompson, who was third in the World Championships last season, down to the bottom.
Come to think of it, Judy's information was not wrong.
This Chinese pair is indeed not good at short dances, but that is only compared to their excellent free dances.
Aurora looked at Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi, stroking her fingers with a somewhat uneasy look. She knew that she, like Judy, had always had a bad attitude towards this Chinese couple.
She has also made up her mind. If the pair wants to show off, she will tell them as a senior that ice dancers still have a long way to go in their careers and they should not be too happy too soon.
They have a better ice rink and better coaches. With their great Russian ice dance background, it is not impossible for them to surpass the Chinese team in the future.
She was ready to fight, but Ji Tiantian and Tang Yi ignored her.
At this time, Ji Tiantian was sitting on the sofa, and Tang Yi was kneeling on one knee in front of her, applying a cold compress to the injured part of her leg.
"Okay, Tang Yi, let me do it." Ji Tiantian wanted to take the cold compress, but Tang Yi didn't let her.
"You shouldn't treat your dance partner like this." At this time, Thompson, the male partner of the American group who was also in the small house, spoke up. He said to Tang Yi, "You will spoil her. This is not a healthy dance partner relationship."
Ji Tiantian turned around and saw Thompson still had a big brother smile on his face. Although he had lost the third place, he still maintained his big brother style.
Ji Tiantian couldn't help but frown. She didn't like the machismo that permeated Big Brother and his tone of teaching.
"Yes, that's true." Aurora also echoed and continued to talk to Ji Tang in the tone of an experienced person, "You are still young, there are many things you need to pay attention to, otherwise your relationship will have problems in the future."
Tang Yi then raised his head, looked at Thompson who had a kind smile on his face, and said indifferently: "But I am willing to do that."
After saying that, he ignored the two pairs of people who were meddling in his affairs and continued to apply cold compress to Ji Tiantian.
The smile on the elder brother's face froze for a moment. Although he was dissatisfied with Tang Yi's tone, he knew very well that his dissatisfaction might not matter to the Chinese team that was promoted to the third place in the world. So he said nothing more.
"Aurora."
Aurora was feeling embarrassed when she heard Ji Tiantian suddenly call her softly.
"What's going on?" Aurora asked.
"It sounds like you and your dance partner have a good relationship?" Ji Tiantian's voice was still soft, "That's great."
This Chinese girl probably wants to ask about something about a dance partner. Afro thought so, quickly regained his composure, and spoke to Ji Tiantian in the tone of a senior: "Yes, Ivanov and I have always had a good relationship, and many people envy us."
"Then I hope you will always be like this." Ji Tiantian nodded and smiled at Aurora, "Don't attack other people's dance partners anymore."
Then the others in the small house saw Aurora's face become visibly uglier.
"Aurora, I turned a blind eye to your little tricks, but why did you bring shame upon yourself abroad?" Aurora's male companion Ivanov seemed to finally be unable to bear it any longer and began to roar loudly.
"Calm down, Ivanov." Aurora maintained a stiff smile and said, "The Chinese group has a good relationship with Katerin. Katerin must have said something to her..."
"They are the third in the world. Do you know how influential the third in the world is?" Ivanov continued to yell, "They are no longer from the same world as us! People all over the world will remember their names and what they said! They can easily affect our reputation! Please be more careful in the future!"
"How dare you say that to me?"
The Big Goose group had a heated argument in Russian. Ji Tiantian couldn't understand it, but she still pricked up her ears and watched the show silently.
After a while, a staff member came in to persuade them to stop fighting, and the melon could not be eaten for long.
"Tang Yi, I'd better do it myself." Ji Tiantian came back to her senses and spoke to Tang Yi who was still applying the massage to her legs, looking a little embarrassed, "Don't do this... The whole country is watching."
There are also cameras installed around the small house, but the live broadcast camera is generally not switched frequently, and the main focus is still on the stadium.
But if every time the scene switched to the small house, it was Tang Yi applying a leg massage to her, who knows how many people in the country would think too much.
After hearing what Ji Tiantian said, Tang Yi no longer insisted and sat down next to Ji Tiantian silently. They looked at the ice surface together.
On the ice, Daria Nikolay, the first ice dancer of the Big Goose, is competing. Daria is wearing a black puffy gauze skirt and dancing on the ice with her male partner Nikolay, who is also dressed in black.
Their soundtrack, "Sleeping with Roses", comes from the musical "Rock Mozart".
If someone is ranked second in the world, then they must be Hexagon Warriors, without any weaknesses. But if I had to say, Ji Tiantian felt that the female partner was stronger in this combination.
Dalia can be roughly understood as the PLUS version of the Big Goose No. 2 Aurora.
Dalia's control over dance posture and rhythm is very good. Not only that, she also has very flexible knees and calves. Every use of the blade seems to be under her control. This time they also used five weeks of synchronized twists and there were no mistakes.
Ji Tiantian began to understand why Dalia still had a confident smile on her face even after she made a mistake in the short dance. When one's strength reaches her level, one no longer has to worry about mistakes.
Mistakes are inevitable, but skilled skills are enough to make up for the occasional mistakes.
Stepping on the final high note, Daria completed an extremely fast turn and lift in Nikolai's arms, and then they came to the equal section.
Daria Nikolay scored 56.35 in technical skills, 58.11 in program content, 114.46 in free dance, and 76.60 in short dance, for a total score of 191.06, surpassing Ji Tang and temporarily ranking first.
There was applause and cheers of joy from the audience.
"What a high score! Both step sequences and other technical moves must have reached level 4, a perfect score!"
"Oh, really, that's amazing!"
"Two sets of step-by-step steps at level four. I wonder when Tiantang will reach this level..."
The Chinese audience discussed it enthusiastically.
Ji Tang's competition was over, and most of the Chinese audience had relaxed from their nervousness and were watching the remaining contestants leisurely.
Darya and Nikolay left the quarters amid applause and went into the small house. Aurora and Ivanov stood up, hugged their elders, and left the small house.
After that it was the last group, Canada’s No. 1, Victoria William, who ranked first in the short dance.
The Canadian audience on the field began to cheer excitedly. The Chinese ice hockey fans, who were already nervous and needed to release their tension, also cheered loudly.
"The ranking of ice dance is relatively stable. If nothing unexpected happens, Victoria Williams will be the final champion." An ice fan in the audience said, "Compared to the competition, their final free dance is more like a solemn ceremony."
A farewell ceremony before the end of a free dance competition.
Victoria wore a fiery red dress, while William wore white. The song they chose, Pavarotti's "My Sun", echoed passionately on the ice.
Pe'll'aria fresca pare gia 'na festa
The air is as fresh as a feast
Che bella cosa 'na iurnata 'o sole
What a beautiful day, it's a sunny day
The melody of the opera is gentle, but full of emotion, just like the gliding of two people, neither fast nor slow, but full of emotion and tacit understanding.
The ice dance music can be selected from the original soundtrack of a movie or musical, and then the contestants can wear corresponding clothes to interpret the role or plot.
However, you can also dance to the music without performing anything, expressing the ups and downs of the music and the emotions. Victoria and William danced to the music in this way.
Victoria and William's skating was almost flawless and had no shortcomings, and compared to Dalia and Nikolai, they had the composure of veterans.
The veterans held hands and looked at each other with gentle and powerful eyes. It was like a thousand sails had passed, and everything was self-explanatory.
Rather than a competition, they were more like putting on a performance, very calmly.
Ji Tiantian sat quietly in the small house and watched. The Victoria-William duo, the male and female dancers were equally skilled, both excellent, and the male partner's strength was also impressive.
William lifted Victoria up as powerfully as if he was lifting up the sun. Victoria stood on one leg on William's leg with a happy smile on her face.
Victoria and William's synchronized twists were still the standard 4-4-3 combination, without extra twists. They knew very well that with their current strength and status, they no longer needed to rely on twists to score extra points.
Amidst applause, they completed their free dance.
Their technical score was 57.81, program content score was 59.23, free dance score was 117.04, plus short dance score was 78.94, for a total score of 195.98, ranking first.
There was a cheer in the field, and in the waiting area, Victoria and William hugged each other excitedly.
"Dear audience friends, Canada's ice dance number one has now finished their ice dance free dance."
The host of the sports TV station enthusiastically explained to the audience watching the live broadcast: "Victoria and William's free dance scored very high, with 117.04 points. I just contacted the reporter at the venue and saw their score sheet. The technical movements were fully rated, and the program content was divided into two of the five sub-items, music interpretation, and performance. They both got full marks of 10 points. The scoring of ice dance requires nine judges to give scores together, and then remove the lowest and highest scores to take the average. So, they can get 10 points in two sub-items, which means that all judges scored 10 points in these two items. This is really rare! It is enough to show how outstanding this pair of veterans are!"
"I hope that one day our contestants can also get such a score." The host's voice was full of envy. She paused and continued, "Okay, audience friends, the ice dance free dance has been completed. Victoria and William have won the championship of this Sochi Winter Olympics with a total score of 195.98! Congratulations to them! Next, let's take a look at the rankings of other contestants."
At the Sochi Winter Olympics figure skating venue, the display screen at the Iceberg Skating Palace shows the ranking of the front row players:
First place: Victoria Williams of Canada 195.98
2nd place Darya Nikolay of Russia 191.06
3rd place: China Ji Tiantian Tang Yi 182.09
4th place: Rita Thompson of the United States 180.05
5th place: Aurora Ivanov of Russia 175.29
6th place: Judy Jayne of Canada 170.59
7th place: Mia Lucas of Canada 169.36
The author has something to say:
Wow, I didn’t check out today’s group rhythm because I was busy writing. I’ll go check it out later.
The rhythm of this year's rhythm dance competition is hip-hop + blues/jazz/reggae, and the pattern dance seems to be midnight blues? It's different from the blues pattern dance.
For general rhythmic dance, which is the short dance in the past, it seems to be often mixed like this. For example, this season, many contestants will choose slower music to skate to the pattern dance, and then switch to the street dance rhythm to start dancing. If you hear the music change, it is usually the pattern dance that has been skated...
The 2016-2017 season was also a combination of blues and street dance. At that time, I saw some cool girls wearing hot pants and leg rings, which made me feel so hot. Ice dance often had outfits that were beyond my imagination...
