Chapter 207: "Death of the Swan"

Yuuri, as a player with quadruple jumps, powerful double jumps, superb flexibility, from the former coach to the current coach and fellow students, as well as his own appearance, is a very topical player. Even if he only participates in the youth group competition, there are still people focus on.

"This is UNI Sports Station. The 05 Figure Skating Grand Prix Junior Group Men's Singles event is being broadcast live. Now the most powerful candidate for the championship is on stage. Yuuri Katsuki from Japan. He won the Universiade last season. The gold medal is the youngest Universiade champion in history, and also the first figure skater to complete 12T in an official competition at the age of 4."

"His figure is very slender, but when he is in good condition, he can perfectly show his quadruple jump, and the triple-A that ranks among the top three in active service. He is like an angel in this Costen."

After finally getting rid of the pain caused by the serious injury at the end of May and the fusion of the source beads, Yuuri is in a very good state. His body is safe and his mind is still rational, but there is a faint heat in his chest. Excited and accelerated, clamoring to use all your strength to win.

Yuuri drew the word "shi" on his chest, clasped fists with both hands and rubbed his thigh and buttocks muscles, hoping that these muscles would be activated to be strong and support his every movement during the game.

The boy said silently in his heart that it was about to start.

Saint-Saëns' "The Swan" sounded, and Yuuri's eyes were slightly closed. In his world, all the lights and noises had disappeared. He imagined that he was in the night, and under his feet was a clear lake reflecting the bright moonlight.

The dying little swan with white wings slides lightly on the ice. His expression is intoxicated and slightly sad, and his eyes are peaceful and firm. The first movement in the opening is Yan-style gliding halfway through, which has a profound ballet background. Let the boy's body movements be soft and stretched.

"Death of the Swan" has been rated as one of the most beautiful short programs in history in the sub-competition. It is impeccable from the shape to the arrangement. In the youth group, such a program with complete content and full of beauty is transcendent of.

Commentary: "Excellent gliding, he has a good single-footed string with two fancy kicks after the Yan style, and his starting speed and speed control ability are better than before."

After completing a set of gliding and dancing that seemed slow and fast, Yuuri started his first jump-the first time the badly injured swan kept trying to flap its wings.

3A (Axel triple axel jump), the Axel jump has always been Yuuri's best jump.

The inner blade bows down, turns three times x3, and twists x3. During this series of movements, Yuuri's sliding speed has been accelerating. The boy swung his hands back to accumulate energy and jumped!

The teenager raised his hands and clasped (Rippon). After turning around quickly for 3 and a half weeks and landing on the ice smoothly, the ice blade slid a huge arc on the ice surface, and twirled and slid out again.

His dance never stops for a second, and this 3A blends smoothly with the performance without being abrupt.

Commentary: "Twisting into 3A, twirling and sliding out, a rare edge jump, with both hands raised, a high-quality jump!"

There was a burst of applause from the auditorium, and Victor stood on the sidelines smiling proudly.

Yuuri's 3A distance is even more amazing than last year. His 3A jump height has always been fixed at 55cm, but the distance has reached an astonishing 3.2 meters, which is rare in the adult group. This is due to Yuuri's outstanding sliding speed.

The first time the swan tried to fly, he failed, so he spread his wings in the lake, and the ripples on the lake surface spread, round and round.

The teenager enters the Yan style rotation with the difficulty of not changing the axis, then takes the IntermediatePosition posture and pancake rotation.

When Pancake squatted and spun, the boy's hands stretched behind him, like the wings of a swan gradually unfolding, accumulating energy for the next leap and flight.

After the squat turn is completed, Yuuri changes feet, turns counterclockwise and turns clockwise, leans back, grabs the skate with both hands and lifts up, and finally the entire left leg is straightened, Candlestick Bellman.

Yuuri maintained this posture that challenged the flexibility of human beings, and turned at a high speed for a full 10 laps, and the axis remained firmly at that point, like a villain in a music box.

Narration: "Unique flexibility, fast and compact rotation."

Yakov nodded secretly: "Difficulty entry, difficult posture change, blade change, direction change, more than 8 turns, no displacement and movement deformation... This rotation is definitely above level 4!"

As long as his physical strength is still there, this kid's rotation is by no means his shortcoming, but his strong point!In the short program of only 2 minutes and 30 seconds (±10), Yuuri, who was physically strong, did not have the weakness of rotational displacement.

The swan is about to die, but he longs to fly to the starry night again, so a failure cannot make him give up. At this time, the swan shakes its wings and flaps its wings again.

Yuuri raised his head, lowered his waist and bowed, got up and quickly touched the ice with the teeth of his right foot, 3F, took off with the inner edge of the left rear, raising one hand in a Tano posture.

It's hard to imagine that even in such a soothing and sad music, Yuuri still enjoys the music. His jumps, spins and slides, and even a wave of his arms are in line with the notes, with a light body and a natural posture.

Commentary: "Philip used the difficult posture again for three weeks, which will allow him to get more GOE points."

Yuuri started to move into the sequence.

In this show, Lilia choreographed a lot of one-foot slides and dance moves for him, and one of them even asked Yuuri to slide 55 meters on one foot (equivalent to sliding one foot from one side of the ice rink to the other), During the period, the non-stop turning and changing blades combined with complex dance moves, this is not the end, after 55 meters, Yuuri has to change feet to continue to ensure sufficient ice coverage.

This is a short program with only 3 sets of jumps, [-] set of footwork, and [-] sets of spins in a relatively short time and the technical movements are changed to the free skating. Yuuri can directly perform what is called "Pounce before the end of the slide" street".

But as Shi Niang said, Yuuri is a very talented dancer. His excellent skating skills allow him to dance on ice, and the harmony is so harmonious that it is unimaginable that he actually made these movements on ice. Therefore, this set The effect presented by the successive steps is amazing. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Especially in the finals of the Grand Prix, Yuuri completely got rid of the debuff, and his state reached the first peak of the season. Whether it was the sway of emotion or the precision of his movements, he was impeccable. In the skating program, jumping is the most eye-catching, but when Yuuri's footwork started, the applause from the audience was even more enthusiastic than when watching the jump.

This is actually a brilliant show off, others show off jumping skills, Yuuri shows off sliding skills, this set of footwork is also the most intuitive expression of Yuuri's outstanding skating and expressiveness as a figure skater!

Commentary: "This is a footwork that is beyond the standard for the youth group, and there are not many who can match him in the adult group."

Yuuri was the first to appear, and his opponents were the other junior men's singles Chris (Switzerland), Zachary Zhang (Canada), Pierre (France), Jacques F. Rui Peng (USA), Georgi (Russia) and others were all watching his performance through the TV in the background.

Chris looked at Yuuri's footwork and opened his mouth wide: "Are you kidding me, is this kind of skating really what a player who just entered the youth group this year should have? Zachary, can you cross the half court with one foot?"

Zachary Zhang is also known for his excellent skating. He has a skating ability that is not inferior to that of the adult players. He also received a level 4 skating evaluation last year.

Zachary Zhang nodded solemnly: "Yes, but he can't be as calm as he is yet. His skating speed is very high, he looks light but his blade is very deep, and his knees and waist are very flexible."

Pierre, who is weak in skating, showed a toothache expression: "It's like he has butter on the soles of his feet."

This jumping difficulty reserve is strong, gliding is stronger than jumping, and the rotation is not weak. This kind of guy with comprehensive skills and outstanding expressiveness is actually in the youth group, even smaller than them. It is conceivable that if Yuuri does not Get overwhelmed by development or injury, and his entire career is likely to be overshadowed by that teenager on the court.

And at this moment, Yuuri ended with hydroblading, ending the complex and varied footwork that had given him a headache for months, and entered the final set of jumps.

This used to be Cathy's mother's signature jump, 3lz+3lo.

Life has been calling for the swan to fly again, Yuuri thought, and this time he's finally going to succeed.

The boy touched the ice with the blade of his right foot again, took off with the outer edge of the left rear, and raised his hands together. After completing the first jump of 3lz in a Rippon posture, he completed the second jump of 3lo in an almost dry posture.

This time he used the twirling slide again, and the swan miraculously started flying and spinning again.

Butterfly jumps to swallow-style spins, then sitbehind squat spins, high-speed upright cross spins.

The swan finally landed suddenly, bent down slowly to the ground, raised one wing tremblingly and pointed to the sky, and still raised it slightly when it was lying on the ground, looking at the sky peacefully and longingly.

"Death of the Swan", live to die.

The venue was quiet for a moment for this beautiful scene, and then there was a storm of applause and applause. Although it was a competition for the youth group, Yuuri, as a local rising star in Japan where the venue was held, has always been very popular. He is here to contribute How great a performance is, it means something different to everyone.

After Victor saw the last set of jumps, he immediately confirmed that Yuuri had secured the first place in the short program. This jump could not be better even if it was changed to Victor. It really deserves to be able to play 11lox3 at the age of 5 Crazy jumping little pumpkin.

What's more, the quality of his other technical movements is also so high!Oh my god, Viktor can't wait for Yuuri to be promoted to compete with him immediately!

He stood excitedly on the sidelines, watching Yuuri climb up from the ice, bowing gracefully and gracefully to all sides, while a group of old men mixed with European, American and Asian in the front row of the auditorium enthusiastically shouted, and threw a toss for Yuuri. The pudding dog doll is produced, and the style of painting is quite unique.

People who know Yuuri don't usually throw flowers or anything like that at him, because Yuuri doesn't like flowers, but pudding dogs don't matter, and those who throw Jerry mouse dolls, fabric rice balls, fabric sushi... know Yuuri too well right? @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Victor, who is in the fan circle, of course knows that Yuuri has a lot of male fans, and generally male players have more female fans, but Yuuri’s ratio of male to female fans is astonishing 4.5:5.5, which is too rare in the sport of figure skating , It also puzzled Victor, whose ratio of male and female fans is 2:8.

Yuuri picked up a pudding dog that was half a person tall, and waved to the fans. A little ice boy who looked about 7 years old slid to Yuuri's side, holding a bouquet of white roses wrapped in transparent plastic paper, He looked at Yuuri admiringly.

Yuuri glanced at him, smiled, took a bouquet of flowers for the first time, and rubbed the little ice boy's hair: "It's you, you also started skating?"

Xiaonan said excitedly: "Yes, yes, I like Yuuri-kun so much! Because Yuuri-kun started to like skating!"

Yuuri replied softly, "Thank you, Nan-kun."

He didn't stay on the court anymore, turned around and slid to the sidelines, while Xiao Nan covered his face with his hands happily, and then went to pack things on the ice rink with his companions with a somewhat silly expression.

Because the physical exertion of the short program was still within Yuuri's tolerance, he was just out of breath after getting off the ice rink.

The little boy took the knife cover from the coach and put it on. Alexander shook off his clothes and put it on for him. A group of people walked to the K&C area and sat down.

The referee quickly gave Yuuri the score.

In this competition, Yuuri completed a total of three jumps of 3A, 3F, 3lz+3lo. This configuration is actually not as good as Yuuri’s 3A, 3lz, 3lz+3lo in the Universiade last year, but more focused on rotation and footwork. He also played both better than last year.

Yakov said in a deep voice: "If your score is good this time, you will be allowed to use the higher difficulty set when it comes to the World Youth Championship."

Yuuri wiped his face with a beige towel with a pudding dog pattern on it, and nodded.

After a while, the score came out.

"Katsuki Yuuri has a technical score of 40.8, a performance score of 39, and a total score of 79.2. He is currently ranked first."
