figure skating king

Don’t look at the Sochi cycle and the Pyeongchang cycle, the first-line men’s singles can always score more than 90 points, but in fact there are only a few people who can do this (the top six in the world) ), in the Turin cycle, the adult players who can score more than 75 points can be counted as first-line players if they work harder in the free skating.

This is why Victor shocked so many people last season when he scored 81.8 with "Waltz in E Minor", because it was a proper first-line record in the adult group, which is unprecedented in the youth group.

Yuuri's score is even more shocking in the eyes of industry insiders, because Victor jumped 4T when skating "Waltz in E Minor", while Yuuri's most difficult jump in the short program was only 3A.

虽然维克托去年放在短节目里的连跳只是3F+3T（bv9.4）,而勇利则放出了3lz+3lo（bv11.1）,但这依然不能改变勇利是在没有跳四周跳的情况下,拿到了接近维克托创造的青年组短节目最高纪录的分数的（差2.6分）。

This means that Yuuri’s GOE (execution points) and performance points are higher, and he can do 4T. If he maintains this performance quality in the World Youth Championship and puts 4T into the short program, will he be able to do it? Can it break Victor's record?

The youth group world record set by Victor last year was already so high that everyone thought it was unbreakable. If Yuuri set this score even higher, it would be even more difficult for the youth group players to break it again. In the future, will the men's singles in the youth group have to practice for four weeks to break the record? (Player Jurachka is charging)

Thinking of this, the sense of crisis in the hearts of countless players who are close to Victor and Yuuri's age has greatly increased, and they all made the decision to increase the difficulty reserve after returning home, and many coaches looked at Yakov with envy and hatred.

Old man Fei is really lucky. It’s okay to pick up George, who has great jumping ability, and then let him catch Victor, a genius who is a genius. These two are Russian teenagers. Let’s not talk about it. Japan came out. Katsuki Yuuri, who was as talented as Victor, was actually taken under his command!

In addition to the clean and standardized skills of the apprentices brought out, not stealing or storing good blades, and the first-class treatment of convulsions, Yakov is also famous for his ability to help apprentices pass the developmental test. Once other women's singles enter the developmental test, they are likely to sink. And even if Yakov's women's singles sink into the lake for a while during the developmental period, they will get back up again.

This is true for women's singles, not to mention men's singles. Victor grew so tall during his developmental period, didn't he still defend the World Youth Championship, and rushed to the grand prix finals as soon as he was promoted?

This means that the possibility of Yuuri falling into the development stage in the future is also very low. Asian men's singles are generally smaller in size, and once Yuuri passes the development stage, well, he will be able to seamlessly connect with Victor to rule figure skating! (Wei Yong is 4 years behind. Many people don't think he is a player of the same generation. No one thought that Victor had the attribute of "super long standby time".)

After Yuuri read the scores, he was led by Alexander to cool down after the game. The second master had collected paste-like ice slag in advance, packed them in bags and pressed them on the children's joints and muscles, and then stretched and walked around for a while to relax.

Victor handed him a bottle of water: "Thank you, little pumpkin."

Yuuri replied softly, "Thank you", and was about to reach out to pick it up, when Victor let out an ah, as if remembering something, turned around and took out a pack of straws from his bag.

He unscrews the cap, puts a straw inside, and holds it up to Yuuri.

"I know you're tired now, so it's easier to drink like this?"

Yuuri blinked and blinked his big eyes, his face that was already flushed from exercise seemed to be a little hotter, he lowered his head and took two sips of water, then whispered: "Thank you."

Seeing that he was about to cool down, Victor greeted Alexander, and dragged Yuuri to go to the audience stand to watch the next contestant's show, but was stopped by a middle-aged man.

He is Japanese, and he is accompanied by a photographer with a microphone in his hand. It should be the media allowed by the venue.

Yuuri recognized him at a glance: "You are...Mr. Matsuoka!"

Mr. Songgang is not well known in Europe and the United States, but he is very famous in the sports circle in China. He came from a very prominent background but became a professional tennis player. He was a national player in tennis in his early years. As for the TV commentator, the STATION column of Asahi Shimbun Channel is responsible for sports broadcasts, and the only ones he can interview are top-line athletes.

Yuuri has also watched this gentleman’s program, because unlike other media, probably due to his ups and downs in his career, Mr. Matsuoka pays attention to getting close to and understanding the inner world of athletes, and he can also personally understand the difficulties of athletes .

Undoubtedly, Yuuri's outstanding performance and popularity have attracted this gentleman. Originally, the TV station wanted to ask him to do an interview with Arakawa, the women's singles player who broke into the adult group finals, but he immediately suggested, "Katsuo-kun is also there, why not let him I'll interview him too."

At this moment, facing this young figure skating star, Mr. Matsuoka also showed great respect, and asked very politely if he could interview Yuuri, and Yuuri also politely said "It's my honor".

They found a place to start this interview, and Victor stood outside the camera holding Yuuri's bag and water bottle, quietly waiting for the interview to end, and by the way, listen to how this uncle who seems to have a good impression on Yuuri is going to do the interview His little pumpkin.

Victor, who can watch "Naruto" without subtitles, without a translation, just guesses and listens to Japanese-style sports interviews.

First they bowed and saluted each other, and then they congratulated Yuuri for his high score. The Mud Boom's etiquette was always so much that Victor found it cumbersome.

But after listening to it, he felt that this uncle was a bit unexpected.

First of all, the entry point of the other party is different. Many media outlets like to step on Yuuri's pain points, asking questions about Zhu Ling and Katharina who have passed away, so that Yuuri finally flatly rejected all interviews and program invitations.

Mr. Matsuoka initially asked about Yuuri’s asthma and how he started to learn to skate when he was a child. It can be seen that he has done a lot of homework, and his tone is very friendly. During the period, he will gently say "Katsusei-kun can walk I have overcome a lot to this day.” @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Regardless of whether this sentence got Yuuri's favor or not, Victor's favor was really found, and I am used to seeing unscrupulous media who think things are not big enough, this kind of conscientious one is extremely precious.

Then Mr. Matsuoka naturally mentioned that at the last performance of Katharina, that is, at the end of the commemorative performance performed by Cathy when Zhu Ling passed away, the empress once hugged Yuuri who was still a child, and Yuuri leaned on her shoulder, Little hands patted her on the back.

Mr. Songgang sighed at this point: "At that time, I felt that Mr. Shengsheng was a very gentle and sensible child. He was crying and comforting the coach. Mr. Shengsheng must like them very much, right?"

Yuuri was silent for a few seconds, and replied: "I like them very much now, they are all good mothers, without them, I would not be what I am now, and I would not be able to overcome so many difficulties, I think although we are alive We’ve only been together for two or three years in this world, but I will miss them forever and they were a part of my skating.”

Song Gang replied: "I know, children will always miss their mothers, right?"

Little Pumpkin was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and laughed. Victor had rarely seen him show such a childish and straightforward smile, which was sincere, clean and warm.

Even without words, this smile is enough to soften the heart.

He really looks good when he smiles, but there is a gleam of water in his eyes, which disappears in the blink of an eye.

At this point, the topic is finally opened.

Mr. Matsuoka later recalled this interview, and said: "Mr. Shengsheng seems to be gentle and polite, and he is also very calm when facing interviews. He has the rationality of people with high IQ, but after getting to know him, he feels like a house. Telling many stories, he will never take the initiative to let anyone in. Only when he knocks on the door patiently and makes him feel safe, he will open the door, stand at the door and talk to you, and you can see part of the scenery inside. And marveling at the magnificent and beautiful scene, it doesn't look like a child who grew up in the world."

On the contrary, he looks like a young man who came out of a legend full of gods and demons. He is delicate and elegant, pure and beautiful without being ostentatious, mysterious and ethereal. He seems to be in the world, but he is actually out of the world.

What Matsuoka didn't say was that this child was very sensitive and melancholy, and he was surprisingly precocious and sensible. He even had the feeling that all his emotions and thoughts were seen through by Mr. Shengsheng, but after all, Mr. Shengsheng was just "See through" and make appropriate responses based on this, but never fully describe what I see.

He should be very scheming (commendative), gaining so much attention and popularity at such a young age, I don't know how many people eagerly want to take advantage of him. It is not surprising that another person would be destroyed under such circumstances, but Sheng Shengjun is very unique.

He speaks boldly, acts independently, and does not lack personality, but some old guys in the Skating Federation can't help him. He speaks and does things very decently. Apart from competitions, he usually studies and trains (he is in college), and his daily life is extreme. Keep it secret, and what is shown is the insignificant part.

Mr. Shengsheng protected himself very well in this way, and never gave any chance to hurt him by the unscrupulous media and people with ulterior motives in the Skating Federation. His family members are also the type of restraint and rationality. He is an outsider, but he has a good relationship with Russian coaches and colleagues.

Self-disciplined, brainy, and deep in thought, but unexpectedly gives people a clean and pure feeling.

This is a young man who is not very old but has experienced too much suffering. His brilliant mind will always tell him "you must be strong" and "you must do what you have to do to get better results", but believe in your own mind He will implement these better options for himself.

However, rationality can drive him to make the right decision, and how does he deal with the emotions brought about by sensibility?This child is obviously the type who hides everything in his heart. What should he do when certain emotions accumulate to the extreme?

At the end of the interview, Mr. Matsuoka was still a little worried. He felt that Katsuo-kun's temperament was quite hidden, and he couldn't do anything to enlighten him. Then he saw Yuuri walking to Victor.

The silver-haired boy stood there for some time. At this time, he naturally stretched out his hand to straighten Katsuki-kun's hair. At first, Katsuki-kun, who had a strong sense of distance, did not avoid it. Looking at the silver-haired boy, there was tenderness in his eyes. feelings.

When Mr. Katsuki bowed to say goodbye to himself and the other staff, Victor actually bowed to himself, raised his head and mouthed a Japanese "Arigado".

Mr. Matsuoka immediately felt relieved, but at the same time, he also had a feeling of "did I see something very remarkable?"

The relationship between those two teenagers who also have powerful talents and outstanding appearance... is a bit delicate.

Yuuri Katsuki was a small, strong and well-protected house, and Nikiforov had the key to get into it.

#Who says liking is the same as coughing, you can't hide it#

When Yuuri and Victor went to watch the competition, Pierre, Jacques Ripon, and Georgi had already finished skating. Among them, Pierre was said to have avalanche all the way after failing to jump 4T. Now he is the last one, and Jacques Ripon Rui Penn is quite satisfactory.

Georgi skated Chopin's posthumous work "Waltz in A Minor". Although he was skated like a weeping cry after a broken love, his technical movements were all done well. His bv (basic score) was about the same as that of Jacques Ripon , and the execution and performance scores are even higher, currently ranking second.

It was Zachary Zhang who was competing, and when Yuuri saw his opponent's skating, his eyes lit up immediately: "He's skating very smoothly."

Victor stroked his chin: "Indeed, it's the first time I've seen this level of skating on a youth group player other than Yuuri. It's like oiling the soles of the feet. It's just that the rotation is not very good. How old is he?"

Yuuri replied casually: "15 years old, a Chinese-Canadian player."

Zachary Zhang squeezed away Georgi immediately after finishing skating, and became the new temporary second. His program configuration is similar to that of Yuuri, but his spin rating, technical action GOE, and performance score are far worse. See There was an obvious expression of resignation when scoring.

Then there is Chris, this little men's singles who has inherited the characteristics of Swiss figure skaters who have always been good at spinning. His jumping stability is also very high, especially good at hook jumps.

He is also Yuuri's biggest rival this season.

His age is also very subtle, two years younger than Victor and two years older than Yuuri, which means that his entire competitive career can be described in one sentence-a pack of wolves in front, n tigers in the back, Victor and a group of seniors When he can't slide, he is not far from retirement, but Yuuri behind him is probably still in his prime.

Whether Chris himself realizes this is hard to say, but he is indeed in a good state of mind.

When Pierre failed to challenge 4T before and the whole show almost collapsed, he jumped 4T again in the show, and most importantly, he succeeded.

Even if the ice landing is not stable, and there is almost no sliding out, but the number of weeks is enough, this quadruple jump is established.

Victor exclaimed: "Wow, Yuuri, you are right, the Swiss kid is really your opponent."

Yuuri rolled his eyes at him: "His name is Christophe Giacometti, he is Helena's cousin of Macaron, although he doesn't know our other identity, but you should remember his name."

Victor raised his hand and swore: "I remember Helena has a cousin named Christopher. Really, I'm just not good at matching people's names with faces."

Yuuri was speechless.

It is a pity that the 15-year-old Chris also inherited another characteristic of Swiss figure skaters-3A instability, so after he surprised everyone with 4T, he fell solidly during the second jump of 3A, but He quickly got up and continued to perform.

Victor joked to Yuuri: "He has a lot of fighting spirit, Kristoff should really want to win you."

Victor can even quite understand Chris on this point. After all, Yuuri is only 13 years old, but he has already surpassed many players who are older than him. Yuuri kicked his ass and rolled off his current position if he worked hard, this feeling was especially strong when he saw Yuuri's short program score just now.

"I really want to win him too."

Yuuri watched the game below with a smile.

"After all, the game is more interesting when the opponent is stronger, and it's more exciting to win."

He was full of enthusiasm, and after Chris finished skating, Yuuri lay on the railing of the auditorium and waved to Chris, shouting in French: "Chris, beautiful skate!"

The Swiss boy looked up in astonishment, seeing that it was Yuuri, he also waved his hands vigorously.

"Wait, I won't let you win!"

At first, Mr. Songgang thought he was interviewing a smart kid, but he didn't know that he was a big guy in a kid's skin, but this gentleman who has seen many people didn't feel that Mr. Gua was special.
