Chapter 84 4F Certification
"Are you going to prepare for the free skating?" Tan Ling's tears were still hanging on her eyelashes. She sniffed in embarrassment. "Go quickly. Don't delay."
He Hui stood up, but still looked back worriedly and asked again: "Are you really okay?"
"I'm fine!" Tan Ling waved her hands firmly. "If you're worried about me not warming up properly, I'll be dying of guilt."
He Hui chuckled, waved and turned to leave.
There are still two contestants left before she goes on stage, and today she has to challenge a new quadruple jump, so she really needs to hurry.
The backstage atmosphere at the World Team Championships was different from that of previous competitions. Everyone was much more relaxed. Although they played one after the other, they would nod and say hello to each other.
Therefore, in such a harmonious atmosphere, no one knew that He Hui actually wanted to make big news here.
The free skating started smoothly, with the opening 4Lz+3T performed perfectly. As He Hui's signature jump combo, it unsurprisingly received applause and cheers.
Now, the Chinese team's seats have not yet realized what a historic moment they will witness in ten seconds.
Although Tan Ling's eyes were still red, she was cheering with great enthusiasm. Tang Meng beside her also screamed in unison.
He Hui on the field was immersed in his own world, focusing all his attention on the predicted sliding track in front of him.
The surroundings seemed to have darkened, and only the icy road in front of her was shining with its own light, attracting her to come.
Swoosh——
The teeth of the blade rubbed against the smooth ice surface. He Hui kept moving forward and turned to touch the ice.
"Wait? This is..." Tan Ling realized that He Hui had changed his tactics the moment she turned around.
A clear inside edge take-off, this is an obvious Philip jump.
Tang Meng opened her mouth wide instantly: "It's so high..."
She was not familiar with He Hui's set and thought it was originally configured like this, so she was simply amazed at the height and distance of the jump.
He Hui on the field turned four circles lightly. She felt that time slowed down at this moment, giving her enough time to confirm the sufficiency of the number of rotations and think about the state of landing on the ice.
The next second, the blade fell back onto the ice, sliding out another beautiful arc.
Done!
He Hui waved his arms happily, matching the rhythm of the music without any sense of disobedience.
She slid alternately between left and right feet, speeding up again.
The whole audience was silent at first, and then broke into thunderous applause.
Tang Meng was a little confused at first and turned to look at the excited crowd around him.
"Isn't quadruple jump a basic move for He Hui?"
Bian Jing looked at Tang Meng in disbelief and shook her shoulders: "This is not 4T, it's 4F!"
"Ah?!!!" Tang Meng stood there in a daze.
Bian Jing covered his head and stood up from his seat: "It's really 4F! I didn't see it wrong! I actually saw He Hui's 4F with my own eyes?!"
After all, he wanted to learn from him but failed at first, but now he has finally achieved his wish. Bian Jing is so happy that he seems to want to break the banner in his hand.
Tang Meng blinked and confirmed again in disbelief: "You mean, He Hui made a new four-sided?!"
"Yes." Tan Ling nodded and calmly said something earth-shattering, "And it's the first 4F in the history of figure skating."
"Oh my god!" Tang Meng gasped, "He Hui is really... awesome!!"
"I feel like there should be no problem with authentication?" To be honest, 4F jumped suddenly and ended in the blink of an eye, leaving Tan Ling unable to react.
He Hui did not give everyone too much time to sigh and think, she immediately followed up with another four weeks.
4T+2T, easy and smooth.
"In just over a minute, three different quads were shown." Tan Ling was now completely immersed in He Hui's free skate, and all traces of tears just now disappeared. "Too strong."
Tang Meng turned his head and glanced at the national team's box next door, and saw shock and admiration on their faces.
"He Hui is really using his strength to conquer everyone." Tang Meng said with emotion.
Bian Jing nodded after listening to this: "It seems that the slogan on the banner should be changed! What do you think of the world's number one figure skater setting a new record?"
Tang Meng and Tan Ling turned their heads at the same time and looked at Bian Jing in silence: "......"
It's quite childish.
Fortunately, He Hui didn’t know about Bian Jing’s actions, otherwise he might have been scared to the point of falling down.
The excitement on the Internet is no less than that on the scene. It seems not an exaggeration to say that "the whole network is blown up."
"In my lifetime!! What did I see? In the blink of an eye, He Hui got to 4F in the free skate??"
"So, what you said before about becoming a 4F is true?"
"I'm dying of laughter. He Hui is not kidding when it comes to developing difficulty jumps~"
The free skating has unknowingly reached the second half, and He Hui still maintains a good competitive state after completing 4F.
3A+1Lo+3S, 3A, the quality of the two three-and-a-half weeks made Bian Jing sigh.
"To be honest, I think many men's singles 3A are not as good as He Hui." As he said this, Bian Jing subconsciously glanced at Sun Hongfang in the corner of the back row.
The corner of Sun Hongfang's mouth twitched, and he felt like he was stabbed by several arrows.
After watching the first half of He Hui's groundbreaking free skating, the final 3Lz and 3F were as smooth and comfortable as an after-meal dessert, sending everyone's dopamine skyrocketing.
Today is the last appearance of "Wanderer's Song" this season.
As He Hui took his last steps in skating, he couldn't help feeling a little reluctant.
She swung her arms with greater amplitude, each fixed-point pose was more powerful, the teeth of the blade dug deeper into the ice, and her skating speed was faster.
"It's so beautiful..." Tang Meng felt that she was particularly uncultured. The story He Hui told on the scene was so profound and moving, but she could only say "it's beautiful".
"It's very difficult to skate easily and beautifully." Tan Ling agreed.
She herself is a female singles athlete, so she feels this the most. Sometimes, a leg lift that looks easy may require hundreds or thousands of times of practice.
The last note fell, and He Hui's last free skating of the season came to an end.
He Hui didn't feel tired at all. She was very excited to achieve a new milestone.
She made circles in the air with her right hand, then placed it on her chest, feeling Kosten's heartbeat through her skin.
He Hui stepped back with his right leg, bent his knees slightly, and bowed deeply towards the audience.
This is a standard prince's gift and a loving farewell.
"So handsome!" Tang Meng completely turned into a fangirl of He Hui, her language system was almost confused, "He Hui wuwuwu."
Who says Wang Zili is only for male contestants?
At least He Hui does it elegantly and coolly, with a charm that makes people fall in love with her.
As expected, He Hui broke her own world record again and won 12 points for the Chinese team in the women's singles.
Backstage, Lin Xiaoman was already waiting for He Hui at the door of the Chinese team's locker room.
He Hui paused, looked at Lin Xiaoman, and said nothing.
Lin Xiaoman remained silent, and just smiled at He Hui. The curve of her mouth became bigger and bigger, and tears welled up in her eyes for no apparent reason.
Silent emotion spread in the air between the two of them.
As if making up his mind, He Hui walked towards Lin Xiaoman. His footsteps on the carpet were soft, as if he was walking on clouds.
“I did it.”
He Hui said these four words solemnly.
"Have you looked at the scoreboard?" Lin Xiaoman suddenly asked.
He Hui frowned, wondering if there was something wrong with his jump during certification? But looking at Lin Xiaoman's eyes, it didn't seem like it, as if she was making a joke of her.
Lin Xiaoman handed He Hui the freshly-made score sheet.
He Hui found the second jump row - 4F GOE+1.
"It's certified, and the GOE is still positive." Lin Xiaoman hugged He Hui and leaned her head on her shoulder. "To be honest, I feel like you've carried me away."
"Then I..." He Hui chuckled, feeling that Lin Xiaoman would occasionally reveal her childish side, "I'll take you to a farther place."
"Okay." Lin Xiaoman agreed immediately.
As the first skater in the world to land the quadruple freestyle, He Hui's name is destined to be engraved in the milestone of figure skating.
Moreover, Lin Xiaoman firmly believes that He Hui can continue to create new records.
She looked at He Hui and asked, "Now that you have the 4F, what configuration do you plan to use in the free skate next season? Do you plan to repeat the hook?"
You know, with one more quad, the free skating configuration can be upgraded to multiple different options.
This season, due to development problems, He Hui's configuration was stagnant for a while. However, his strong comeback in the second half of the season made Lin Xiaoman full of expectations for the configuration of the new season.
"Let's repeat 4Lz. I feel like 4F isn't that stable." He Hui pondered for a moment and said what he was thinking, "This way we have four quads."
Four sets of four! Lin Xiaoman couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"He Hui, it's time to go receive the award!" Tang Meng jumped up and down and called He Hui, "You have to stand in the middle!"
He Hui leaned forward and replied, "I'll be right there."
"Go quickly," Lin Xiaoman urged, "The coaches and I will applaud you off the court."
He Hui curled the corners of her mouth and turned to walk towards the red carpet of the ice rink.
Lin Xiaoman looked at her back and felt that the genius little girl from her childhood seemed to have really grown up.
He Hui is now becoming more and more mature and stable. The fledgling's wings are gradually becoming fuller, and the wings are strong and hard enough to hold up an entire flock and carry itself to higher places.
"I hope everything goes well next season." Lin Xiaoman murmured to herself.
On the field, the award ceremony officially began.
The eight members of the Chinese team stood on the runner-up podium, holding up the bouquets in their hands and waving to the audience in the stands on all sides.
But when Tan Ling turned his head to look at the champion Russian team, he couldn't help feeling disappointed again.
He Hui immediately caught Tan Ling's emotions and held her.
"Let's go to the championship podium together next time." She gently squeezed Tan Ling's hand, "Is that a deal?"
Tan Ling turned her eyes back to the silver medal on her chest. She glanced at the shining plate and seemed to hear a jingling sound in her ears.
"It's settled."
Finally, Tan Ling made up her mind and promised, with a smile on her face.
The others were also very excited about the silver medal.
Tang Meng took another seat next to He Hui and held He Hui's arm: "I have only been on stage twice, all thanks to you, woo woo."
"There will be more medals," He Hui comforted.
But He Hui knew that with Tang Meng's current ice dance level, it was almost impossible for them to win a medal. Any medal in the team competition was the most precious medal for them.
Later, the eight members of the Chinese team grinned as they took photos of themselves on the podium at the World Team Championships.
