Chapter 94 94 Blade Jump Evolution
The second time he went to college, He Hui seemed more at ease, but Penn was a completely new experience, as was studying intensively in the business school while also taking care of training.
But there are not many people on the ice rink here, and figure skating has a relatively mature business model. As long as you are willing to pay, it is not difficult to secure training time.
He Hui and Li Chumiao chose the same ice rink with complete facilities and services, and by chance they ended up becoming "teammates" who travel together every day.
After conquering 4F, He Hui felt that she had gradually found the knack of quadruple jumps, so her expectation was no longer just to be satisfied with the three quadruple jumps she had at the moment. She hoped to achieve the fourth, or even the fifth or sixth.
After He Hui's fixed practice time every day, he will spend extra time on the ice practicing 4S.
Lin Xiaoman would always pay attention to her condition, correct some dangerous and wrong details from a bystander's perspective, and then watch her try again and again on the ice.
"Take a break." Lin Xiaoman couldn't bear to watch it anymore and spoke out to stop them.
He Hui has been very frustrated recently. Although his edge jump is not as strong as his ice jump, he can do 3A, so there is definitely no problem of weakness.
It’s strange that the 4S, which also uses a blade jump, has not been doing well.

"He Hui? Are you okay?"
The classmate patted He Hui's shoulder and woke her up from her sleep.
We agreed to meet at the coffee shop at 1pm to discuss the division of labor and framework for the course group presentation. He Hui finished training early in the morning and rushed to the morning class. After a simple meal, he couldn't hold on and fell asleep on the table.
He Hui rubbed his eyes and raised his head: "Sorry."
She glanced at the other three classmates who had already arrived and scratched the back of her head sheepishly: "I fell asleep, you didn't have to wait too long, did you?"
"No, we just got here too." The girl who woke her up smiled and shook her head, "Let's see how we divide the work?"
"good."
Once He Hui started discussing professional matters, he immediately became a completely different person from his sleepy self.
After all, she had real experience in running a company in her previous life. She had in-depth and insightful insights on many issues, and could immediately point out the direction when her teammates were in trouble.
The discussion lasted for more than an hour before everyone went on to complete their own parts.
He Hui then yawned and prepared to go to the afternoon class.
There were still ten minutes left and the classroom was a bit far away, so He Hui thought of treating it as a daily running exercise, so she jogged all the way and even took a detour to run in the woods on campus.
The more he ran, the clearer his mind felt, so clear that he inexplicably began to worry about his troubled 4S.
Even when He Hui was listening to the class in the classroom with his head propped up, he could still feel his failed attempts appearing before his eyes.
With a feeling of irritability swirling in his heart, He Hui kept turning the ballpoint pen, constantly reviewing the situation and looking for a breakthrough.
Fortunately, He Hui had taken a similar course in his previous life, so even if he was distracted and trying to do two things at once, he could still keep up with the professor's pace.
There was a three-hour class in the afternoon. After the class, He Hui had a simple meal and then started the evening training.
There has been no progress in the past few days, and He Hui can't wait to get on the ice again.
Another try.
But He Hui was like a fish trapped in a transparent box, swinging its tail to separate forward, and then slamming into the wall with a bang.
From the perspective of fish, this situation of being hit by a wall on all sides has no solution.
Lin Xiaoman found the 4S who had been successful in Tours before and said, "Why don't you learn from your idol secretly?"
"Thank you, but I've seen this many times." He Hui sighed, "Obviously there's nothing wrong with it, but I don't have a fishing rod and I can't get it all around and land cleanly on the ice."
Lin Xiaoman was also puzzled by this. He Hui had already come up with three types of quads, so he should be very experienced.
"I think it's still a matter of using the blade to generate force." Lin Xiaoman said.
After the training, it was already eight o'clock in the evening.
Li Chumiao knew the cause of her recent bad mood, so she took the initiative to invite her to have a talk.
"Where are we going?" He Hui asked.
"Our secret base." Li Chumiao blinked.
He Hui understood, and the two of them came to an unused storage room in the venue.
The light in the utility room was dim, and the only working lamp had a low wattage and flickered from time to time. There were many items piled up around, but there was an open space that was large enough to accommodate two people.
He Hui and Li Chumiao sat casually on the cushions in the open space.
"I still remember the first time I came here, it was dusty," Li Chumiao recalled. "Then we cleaned like crazy just so we could hide here and chat."
"I still remember it clearly." He Hui leaned on the cushion and nodded.
He Hui actually likes this place very much. It makes her feel much safer than the empty country villa that her parents bought specially.
"4S is not going well?" Li Chumiao asked.
"Well, it's been over a month. Everyone in the rink should know about it."
"Did you find the problem?"
"Sister Lin and I both felt that the left rear inner edge was not fully exerted."
Li Chumiao thought for a moment and nodded heavily: "It's possible."
"But there's no good way." He Hui sighed.
Li Chumiao stared at the flickering light bulb above her head, and suddenly an idea came to her.
"S's strength is not enough, so how about trying Lo at the same time?" Li Chumiao's idea has a very unique angle.
He Hui was puzzled: "Practicing two quads at the same time?"
"You practiced 3Lo a lot before, so maybe you are more accustomed to the power of the right rear outer edge?" Li Chumiao revealed his guess.
He Hui frowned: "It is possible."
"Anyway, we're practicing a new quad, but there's no rule on which one to practice, right?"
He Hui was amused by Li Chumiao's words and nodded in agreement.
"Then...I'll try it tomorrow."
After the conversation in the secret base, He Hui actually started trying two types of quadruple edge jumps at the same time on the field, which surprised Lin Xiaoman.
But He Hui, who tried 4Lo for the first time, obviously did not succeed in one go.
She fell several times on the court and her training clothes were covered with ice.
"What's going on?" Lin Xiaoman looked at He Hui who came over to wake up his nose and asked, "4Lo's power is more difficult, right?"
It is generally recognized among skaters that the loop jump is difficult to exert force. In today's figure skating world, there is no skater who can perform 4Lo.
"I want to find out the difference between the two. Maybe there will be some unexpected surprises."
Lin Xiaoman smiled, thinking that He Hui was a diversion from the fact that she had never been able to practice 4S: "It's up to you."
But He Hui practiced these two jumps very seriously, although they look similar, but the actual way of exerting force is completely different.
When the number of jumps reached four circles, some people did start to use 4Lo. However, if you look at everyone's use of the blade strictly, you will find that many people are indeed inaccurate.
There are many ways to use the inner and outer blades completely incorrectly, or to try to get away with using the flat blade.
For two consecutive weeks, He Hui started working on the skating court as soon as she finished the combined practice of the short program and free skating.
At the beginning, of course, he fell in various postures, but gradually He Hui seemed to have really found the tricks of both through comparison and experimentation.
*
There is still one week left until the first B-level game of the new season.
He Hui completed the chorus of the short program on the field and performed it perfectly again.
This season, the song chosen by He Hui is Mozart's "Rondo in D Major" K485, which is as cheerful and lively as ever, and matches Miss He's performance on the court very well.
"Are we still practicing today?" Lin Xiaoman asked.
He Hui nodded firmly. She always felt that she was trying to grasp the subtle and fleeting "inspiration" recently.
The ice rink was empty. Most people had finished practice and left. Li Chumiao sat aside and packed up, planning to leave with He Hui.
Lin Xiaoman stood one step away and waited.
He Hui was skating alone on the ice rink. She crossed her legs and jumped on her right rear outside edge.
This is Lo's takeoff with a very clear edge.
But the reason why Lin Xiaoman and Li Chumiao saluted at the same time was the astonishing height of He Hui's jump this time.
"The force was successful..." Lin Xiaoman murmured, with anticipation rising in her heart.
He Hui had nothing in her mind when she left the ground. The operation of spinning four times in the air was not unfamiliar to her. She struggled to complete the rotation, and her attention shifted from tightening her core to the contact between the blade and the ice surface in millimeters.
The right rear outside edge slid out in perfect harmony with the ice surface, no problems at all!
It was a successful 4Lo!!
Lin Xiaoman suddenly opened her eyes wide, unable to believe what she saw.
I thought it was just a casual attempt, but He Hui was obviously serious. Moreover, this seriousness paid off. She didn't succeed in 4S, but she became 4Lo first!
Lin Xiaoman clapped her hands so hard that they turned red, and together with Li Chumiao, she tried her best to make the applause sound more powerful.
He Hui gave him a look of gratitude, but had no intention of leaving.
She stretched out her right index finger and made a "1" gesture.
Lin Xiaoman: "Do you want to repeat it again?"
Li Chumiao raised the corner of his mouth in understanding: "Well, you can say that."
Lin Xiaoman was puzzled and focused her eyes on He Hui who was moving quickly on the court.
He Hui on the field was seen with his legs in an "eight" shape, ready to jump.
"She wants to be a 4S?"
So the "1" just now doesn't mean to do it again, but to do it in another way? !
Lin Xiaoman looked at Li Chumiao in disbelief.
Li Chumiao blinked in agreement.
He Hui slid on the left rear inner edge and jumped up again, reaching a considerable height.
After spinning four times, He Hui slid off the ice and spun around excitedly on the spot.
The aquarium fish trapped in the glass fish tank jumped out of the predicament and swam back to the sea through the pipe.
He Hui rushed towards Lin Xiaoman and Li Chumiao from the direction of the ice rink.
She jumped onto the barrier at her chest level, overcoming the obstacle and giving the two of them an excited hug.
He Hui actually became 4S and 4Lo at the same time. This scene seemed like a dream!
"Did you really succeed?" Lin Xiaoman confirmed again.
"Of course!" Miss He raised her head, looking very complacent.
After being moved, Lin Xiaoman looked at her apprentice who still had something to say.
"What's wrong?"
"Actually, in the free skate this season, I want to do six quads."
He Hui stared into Lin Xiaoman's eyes and expressed his ambitions.
Before seeing He Hui's 4S and 4Lo with her own eyes, Lin Xiaoman thought that condoms were a fantasy, a daydream, and an unattainable destination.
But now, she suddenly felt that the impossible had become possible.
The refusal got stuck in her throat.
“I will continue to work hard on the success rate, but in the new season, I want to give it a try.”
He Hui smiled, a arrogant smile.
