figure skating king

On March 2009, 3, in Los Angeles, USA, a large number of ice fans gathered at the Staples Center, home of the famous NBA team Lakers, because this year's World Championship men's singles free skating will be held here today.

24 figure skaters from various countries will decide the final outcome here. Some of them aim at the highest throne, and some just hope that they can get a higher ranking as much as possible. Fight for more seats for your country in next year's Winter Olympics.

But there is no doubt that the 24 people who can come here are already the 24 best men's single skaters in the world.

(There are 50 athletes participating in the men's singles event of the World Championships, among which the top 24 in the short program will enter the free skating, and the rest will be eliminated)

Yuuri Katsuki, who was 16 years and six months old at the time, was the youngest player in this World Championships. He ranked first with a world record 108.1 points in the short program the day before yesterday.

This teenager has mastered three quadruple jumps. He was the winner of the silver medal in the finals of the Figure Skating Grand Prix and the World Championships last season. He is also the gold medalist in the finals of the Figure Skating Grand Prix this season.

Under him, Joubert from France is second in the short program, Lesacek from the United States is third, and his old opponent who often wins in the youth group is the skating master, Canadian-Chinese Zachary .open.

Yuuri’s fellow students Peter and Georgi also participated in this World Championships, ranking No.5 and No.20 in the short program respectively. Alexei from Moscow was ranked [-]th. They both broke into the free skate.

Oda Nobushiro, who came from the same country as Yuuri, ranked seventh in the short program, and Sugawara Hiraya ranked thirteenth.

Chris, a young mink rider from Switzerland, carried the banner of Swiss figure skating after his predecessor Lambiel was injured and retired. He also performed very well in this World Championships and ranked sixth after the short program.

On the day of free skating, Chris woke up early, and was going to practice his program in advance at the venue later. In the breakfast place, he saw Joubert, who also spoke French, slowly eating a sandwich in the corner of the restaurant , while Coach Wells and Joubert's coach were chatting about something.

The curious young man trotted over, greeted them and sat down, blinked Kaziran's big eyes and asked, "What are you talking about? I think I heard Yuuri's name."

Joubert glanced at him and sighed softly. Coach Wells answered the students' doubts: "Just this morning, we saw the officials from the drug testing side go to the 24th floor."

"Floor 24?"

Chris thought for a while: "Isn't that the floor where Coach Yakov and his students live? Yuuri is there too, right? What, the drug testing officials are going to trouble him again? Or is it his asthma attack again? "

While talking, Chris showed concern. Although he and Yuuri are competitors, they are also friends, and Yuuri is also someone whom Chris's boyfriend Budis respects very much. No matter what, Chris hopes that Yuuri will be well .

Coach Wells' black line: "Why did you immediately think that something happened to Yuuri." @无限好文，all in Jinjiang Literature City

But yes, after all, although most athletes have injuries, their physique is stronger than most people who exercise regularly and pay attention to diet and rest. Only Katsuki Yuuri's health is so poor that even ordinary people can't keep up.

"But you guessed it right this time, it was indeed the Japanese kid who had an accident."

Joubert's coach shook his head: "I'm friends with the drug testing officer. He said that Yuuri Katsuki was going to be locked up, so he submitted the drug record to him."

"Closed?!"

This term is not unfamiliar to athletes. After all, if an athlete wants to achieve results, there is no one who is not injured. Once the injury is serious, some people will choose to use closed control.

Chris himself was injured while practicing quadruple jumps, to the point where he was almost closed, but he recovered in the end.

And Yuuri is only 16 years old this year. Although he quit Four Continents due to injury before, isn't that already well-raised?He also broke a world record the day before yesterday.

Coach Wells coughed: "Anyway, not many people know about this matter, let's just talk about it ourselves, Chris, you can't talk about it elsewhere."

After all, certain physical conditions of athletes need to be kept secret to prevent opponents from engaging in psychological warfare. It is also quite immoral to disclose the injuries of other athletes without authorization. People with integrity generally don’t do it, if it weren’t for Joubert’s coach It happened to be related, and he had such a good relationship with Coach Wells that he could wear a pair of pants, so he wouldn't gossip about the gold medalist's injury with him now.

Seeing Chris frowning tightly, Joubert patted him on the shoulder kindly. Chris came to his senses, looked back at Joubert, and remembered that this senior seemed to be one of the members of the "Wounded Club" who was suffering from injuries.

He puffed up his face. Hearing such news early in the morning really made people feel heavy.

On the other hand, Yuuri lay down on the bed and took a deep breath after finishing the seal.

The sealing needle does not necessarily hurt very much. It mainly depends on the part being injected. If the sealing part is relatively dense and the expansion space is small, the injection will definitely hurt. For example, his right ankle is painful now, and the waist The pain of a single needle is relatively light, and it can be ignored by Yuuri who has a strong pain tolerance.

Victor leaned against the head of the bed, sitting next to Yuuri, his fingers ran through the boy's black hair, smoothing it down one by one, gently but forcefully massaging his scalp and shoulders, watching the boy's tense body gradually loosen slow down.

When Victor appeared in the player warm-up area in the backstage of the arena in a wheelchair, not to mention other players who were warming up here, even the photographers who came to take some warm-up shots of the players were stunned.

He, he, he... Victor Nikiforov actually cut his hair!

In view of Victor's strength beyond the current era, as well as his extraordinary appearance, it is no exaggeration to say that in the current figure skating circle, the number of invisible dimension fans is not much less than that of the surface dimension fans.

But now, the long-haired flowery boy has changed into a short-haired handsome guy, and the Northern Heavenly Immortal has turned into a handsome gentleman. Even though he is sitting in a wheelchair, he is still elegant and beautiful, but this guy's appearance has changed so much that Many people didn't recover for a while.

Yuuri has long been used to Victor's handsome appearance after cutting his hair short, but he can calmly nod to the players and staff.Then do the warm-up on your own.

Victor sat on the side holding Yuuri's sports bag, took out a bottle of amino acid drink and opened it, put vitamin granules, painkillers and other miscellaneous powders in it, and called Yuuri after a while.

"Come and drink."

Yuuri responded, took the bottle of pink fairy water, poured it with his head raised, without frowning.

Victor: "How does it taste?"

Yuuri: "You want me to tell the truth?"

Victor: "Uh, no need..."

He also knew that the powdered sports drink wouldn't taste any better.

Yuuri has a problem, that is, if he exercises vigorously immediately after eating, he can spit it out directly, and this "immediately" period is about two hours, so if there is a competition, then within three hours before the competition, He will consciously fast, and free skating is usually in the afternoon, Yuuri's fasting is equivalent to missing lunch.

In order to ensure that he has enough physical strength to cope with the game, Taozi usually prepares meal replacement powder for him, which tastes very bland.

Sometimes seeing how he doesn't eat, even Nastya in the same group feels that he can't understand Yuuri. If he doesn't eat, what's the fun of living for this person? Only Vicka, who knows the truth, said that he might eat, Eating in the space is all about the pot.

Before the drug inspection officials went to the 24th floor, they didn't shy away from anyone. There were also rumors among the figure skaters that Katsuki Yuuri might have a physical problem again, but now he looks very good again, and many people are not sure anymore. .

The young big devil put a lot of pressure on many people, if something went wrong with him, I don't know how many people would applaud in their hearts, but if he is intact, a Katsuki Yuuri with no residual blood is the most promising The one who can win the gold medal.

Really. Residual blood. Just to prevent you from seeing it. After Yuuri confirmed that his body was warmed up, he temporarily stopped his movements. He was the last one to play, and there were 23 players before him to compete. There is no need to over-warm up now .

The young boy returned to the warm-up room, sat on the ground next to Victor's wheelchair, and slowly wiped his skates, like an ancient swordsman maintaining his weapons.

Next to him were two young German pair skaters talking.

Male: "Fei Dae's apprentice is of high quality, he looks good."

Female: "It's cold when I don't smile, but it's sweet when I smile, and I want to sleep with him. I want to ask him for his autograph... Do you think he will give it to me if I ask for it?"

Man: "Uh, it's hard to say, I think he looks a bit cold, you see he usually doesn't talk to fans, he just turns his head away when he sees the excitement, except for Chris and his classmates, everyone else goes with him I can’t talk, I think he is the kind of person who doesn’t like to communicate with people.”

Female: "Hey - why is this, I like him so much, his face is so tender, I want to pinch him just looking at it~"

Katsuki Yuuri, who had learned German enough to read German academic journals last year, choked up, attracting the attention of people around him (including the two pair skaters).

He coughed in embarrassment, and saw Cao Bin strolling over and greeted Yuuri in that Northeast dialect: "Yo, Lao Zhu, you seem to be okay."

Yuuri raised his hand and waved, and replied in fluent Northeast Mandarin: "You're not bad, Lao Cao."

The two exchanged punches, and Cao Bin ranked eighth in the short program. He was also a very capable player among the younger generation. He played in the penultimate group. Ranked first after the slide.

(The 24 skaters who enter the free skating will be divided into four groups to compete, the higher the ranking will appear later, and the top six will appear in the last group.)

Cao Bin said to Yuuri: "This year's Universiade will be held in Harbin. I thought I could invite you and Vigo to have fun there. I didn't expect you two to take a break. Are you okay now?"

Yuuri raised an eyebrow: "I'm strong enough to beat ten of you now."

Cao Bin laughed, and looked at Sugawara Heiya who was not far away, and coughed.

Through unremitting efforts, as well as Yuuri's occasional divine assists, Comrade Cao finally became friends with Sugawara the year before last. Before the start of this season, the two even traveled to Hokkaido together, soaked in hot springs together, and stayed at the hotel. It's still a room. Now, Lao Cao thinks it's time.

He put his arms around Yuuri's shoulder: "Hey, you said that after I finished the World Championships, can I go to your senior to confess my love at the banquet?"

Yuuri complained: "You decide this kind of thing yourself, I will help you get his number, let him understand that your hot eyes are not because you want to beat him, but because you want to be friends with him, I can do it for you I'm at the limit, I can't help you too much with this kind of love."

Lao Cao curled his lips: "Hey, look at what you said, if I am reliable enough to catch someone, why would I ask you?"

When he was hilarious, Yuuri immediately had a sense of seeing that he was talking about cross talk with others. Fortunately, Lao Cao also knew that Yuuri was preparing for the competition. After asking Victor for his autograph, he turned around and retreated to Sugawara to talk. .

It's hard for him to understand Japanese English, and his accent hasn't been distorted much.

Until the end of the penultimate group, some staff members began to clean up the ice surface, and then the last group of six people also went on the ice to practice for 6 minutes.

Yuuri, who has always been questioned about his poor condition, directly pulled a 3A on the ice. He slid across the ice rationally, secretly calculating where to take off, land on the ice, and when to do his footwork after his show started. How to adjust to achieve the maximum ice coverage and other issues.

He had been confused and vented enough yesterday, and now that he is closed, he has made all the preparations that should be done, and the rest is to go all out to win, to live up to his hard work and pain these days, and...

The boy slid over the side of the fender and easily saw the cheering banners hanging.

He has long been used to being criticized and criticized by others, but there are also many people who will support him and bless him.

Yuuri took a deep breath, and could feel his emotions getting excited, but his heart sank to a stable place.

He realized that this is a very suitable state for competition, and began to try to retain this state for the game.

He no longer cares about other people's performance, even those skaters worked hard, even made the third quadruple jump in the free skating, but Yuuri knew that the key to the victory or defeat was himself Whether he can defeat himself will determine the ownership of the gold medal.

However, just before Yuuri started the game, Viktor suddenly strolled into the player aisle in a wheelchair, he stretched out his hands to Yuuri, Yuuri walked to his side in confusion, took Viktor's hand knowingly, and put his forehead against his forehead.

"Yuuri, I don't want to put any pressure on you at this time."

Yuuri looked closely at the cobalt blue eyes, and replied softly, "I know."

Victor chuckled: "But I hope you win, because I don't want you to lose to anyone other than me, just like I can't accept being defeated by someone other than you."

Yuuri replied, "I get it, so do I."

Victor said softly: "Yes, that's it. Defend our throne, win beautifully, and use your strength to make everyone speechless. I can only praise your greatness."

"I know you have this ability. If you don't hesitate to break through to come here, then do everything to win."

Yuuri raised the corner of his mouth, "Like I used to overcome those adversities?"

"Different!"

Victor squeezed his hand: "This is a unique day, because you will get your first gold medal in the World Championships here!"

His tone was so sure that Yuuri began to believe that he would be the ultimate winner.

Yuuri was silent for a few seconds, stood up, and slapped Victor on the forehead.

"Listen, I understand what you mean, but this game has nothing to do with our so-called throne, the throne can only belong to one person forever, when you come back, I swear I will kick you off the throne, and now I go to win because I want to win, I want to get a gold medal, that's all."

"Also, if you want to create an era where you can go head-to-head with me, you have to go back to the ice first, my dear Vitenka, otherwise you can only watch me win others."

He turned and walked into the venue, cheers, lights, and cameras all rushed towards him in an instant, Yuuri walked forward with an almost indifferent expression, his momentum was extremely sharp, and there was a kind of expression in his eyes that he had never seen before. The aggressiveness revealed, the sound of the shutter kept ringing in my ears.

If Victor is an elegant, rigorous and majestic figure skating emperor, Yuuri, who has lost his previous disguise, is more like an indifferent and sharp tyrant. With his strong will, he makes all adversities and tribulations bow down for him. It's startling rain, and it's also thunder.

It was hard to imagine that this thin young man made countless people who saw him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.

Normally, Yuuri looks like a beta who works hard and has a high IQ, but now he is an out-and-out alpha, just by making eye contact with him, he can feel a dangerous shudder rising from his tailbone.

The players who played before him all looked at him intently.

Chris muttered, "This is the real Yuuri, he's going to get serious."

Yakov told Yuuri that the current highest score in the game is 192 points created by Zachary Zhang, which is also his personal highest score, while Joubert is second, and Lesacek is third.

The old coach glanced at his ankles, and said in a deep voice, "Go, do what you want."

Yuuri shook the knife sheath that he had just taken off, his movements were a little unruly, but his expression was extremely firm.

"Well, I'm on it."

At this time, many ice fans around the world were squatting in front of the TV. They watched the boy go on the ice, his name was displayed on the screen, and the commentator began to introduce the player.

Male commentator: "Hello, viewers. Welcome to the free skating of the 09 World Figure Skating Championships. The skater who will be on stage today is the finale of the men's singles. Yuuri Katsuki, who ranks first in the short program, is from Japan. "

Female commentator: "He only resumed training a month ago, but judging from the short program the day before yesterday, he seems to be in very good condition. Katsuo plans to perform 3 quadruple jumps in his free skating. Well, it is very possible to get more than [-] points, so far, he is the only figure skater in the world who has achieved this."

The young man tapped and rubbed his thighs and buttocks, and the painter confirmed the axis. He slid to the middle of the ice, squatted down slowly, and lowered his head deeply. No one could see his expression at this moment.

The tune of "Memorial" plays.

The male commentator looked at the boy who slowly got up and began to slide at high speed on the ice, and said in a low voice: "Let's start, and come and appreciate this incomparable Japanese figure skater, Katsuki Yuuri."

Yuuri's first jump was instant, and after a Mohawk → three, he crossed his legs, and using his right rear outside edge, he leaped into the air.

This is Yuuri's signature jump - 4lo.

The tone of the male commentator was instantly high: "Jump around the rear outer knot ring! Beautiful!"

Want my second update?Feel free to comment if you want!bring it on!I put the update in the dropbox! —— Cole D. Fungus

Many things have two sides. Some people don’t like Mr. Gua, some people like him very much, some people will try their best to hack him on the Internet, and some people will work very hard to protect him.

Awei and Gua Zong are fans all over the place. Even many TV commentators love him so much, so while commenting on the game, they secretly rubbed Amway idols to the audience in front of the TV hahaha.

Mr. Gua actually pretends to be in front of outsiders, he looks polite and gentle and not very talkative, but tearing off this layer of appearance that can be called "sheath", he is actually as sharp as a sword, and there is a giant in his heart. The dragon proudly raises its head in the raging storm, yearns for the sky, and never surrenders.

It's more charming to tear off the camouflage than not to tear it off.

"Requiem for Remembrance" is Gua Zong's masterpiece in the early stage, because this program fits Gua Zong very well, so that when Gua Zong and this program are combined, it is equivalent to the word "magic work", and this program can be praised by Gua Zong. How well does it perform?Let's put it this way, if Mr. Gua starts this program again when he arrives in Vancouver, it's really difficult to say who the gold medal belongs to (although it's not easy to say at first, the two are evenly matched), because this program and Mr. Gua really match at the max level.

However, Gua will never skate a set of programs for two seasons. He likes to try new things, but later many ice fans discussed "Schindler's List", "Dandelion", "The Wizard of Oz" and "Mermaid", "Requiem for Memorial" "Which of these programs is more qualified to represent Mr. Gua in the early stage, "Requiem for Memories" all won by a big score, and "Schindler's List" ranked second.

Of course, there are still some diehard fans, and they shouted directly: "What are you arguing about! Our Gua Ge skates are all exquisite! Each one is a masterpiece!"
