figure skating king

Figure skating is divided into four categories: Men's Singles, Women's Singles, Pair Skating, and Ice Dance.

Among them, men's singles and women's singles focus on jumping, while pair skating focuses on throwing jumps, and ice dancing focuses on sliding.

And among the four major events of figure skating, there is such a wonderful pair of male competitors, they are brothers of the same discipline who are obviously equal in strength and face each other on the field. The two men's singles are amazingly equipped with quite good pair skating skills. One of them is still wearing skates for ice dancing, and his skating skills are as good as those of the top ice dancers.

Speaking of which, most people have already guessed their names.

That's right, they are Viktor Nikiforov, the big goose figure skating brother, and Katsuki Yuuri, the first mud bombing figure skating brother. They are also popular gold medalists. It is estimated that the gold medal in the men's singles event of the Vancouver Winter Olympics will belong to It depends on who plays better between the two on the field.

And these two weird pair skating skills are also wonderful, and naturally they will not miss the pair skating competition of the highest level event in the Winter Olympics.

It just so happened that the first competition among the four events of figure skating was also pair skating, so at the beginning of the competition, they walked over naturally.

The pair skating event of this year's Winter Olympics is dominated by the combination of planting flowers. Yuuri made a prediction before the game, thinking that either the undefeated Shen Zhao combination after their comeback this season will win, or the Pang Tong combination will explode.

In the end, he was really sure. The champion was Shen Zhao, Pang Tong won the silver medal, and the two red national flags were raised high in front of the podium. Judging from the posture of breaking the world record, it is not certain, but anyway, the champion cannot escape one of these two combinations.

Yuuri could see that Victor also admired Pang Tong's free skate "Chasing Dreams Without Regrets".

Little Pumpkin also likes this show. After the end of "Chasing Dreams Without Regrets", the whole audience stood up and applauded for it. This is really a classic show!

He poked Victor on the arm. "You like this?"

Victor nodded again and again: "It can be seen that the players' emotions broke out in this game, and their throwing jumps and throwing twists are really amazing. It is said that the throwing skills of Planting Flowers were improved by that coach Yao Yes, it's really beautiful!"

Speaking of this, Victor still has a little regret: "It's a pity that you have grown to 1.7 meters seven now."

Obviously when Yuuri hadn’t developed yet, they also played twirling around. Yuuri’s ability to spin in the air is very strong, and his weight is well controlled, so they can do twirling around. At that time, the big goose pair skating coach saw The two of them practiced the movements for fun, and kept patting their legs, regretting that the two were not a man and a woman, and then went to practice pair skating under his hands.

As for the four-way jump, they also played it, but the success rate was not very high, but a few of the successful jumps were still recorded with a video camera.

As for Yuuri now, uh, the boss weighs over 2kg, which is definitely slimmer in men’s singles, but Victor can at most take him to throw a three-week twirl and a [-]A throw, and the lifts are also more strenuous .

It's really big, so it's not easy to do.

If you dislike it, you absolutely dare not say it. Victor himself is more than 70 kilograms, so he really has no right to dislike Yuuri's weight. Besides, the boss usually only wants to eat meal replacement powder as a meal, restraining himself to a state of asceticism, and Fairy waist, Viktor thinks that Yuuri's current appearance is a little too thin, and a little fatter will be more slender. Cough cough...

Maybe it's a good thing that Yuuri decided to put on muscle after the season?

After that, Victor heard a bunch of gossip about the Pang Tong combination from Yuuri.

Ps: Of course the source of information comes from Comrade Cao.

It is said that the combination of Pang and Tong is not easy. Although they are under the tutelage of coach Yao, the godfather of pair skating, they are actually frustrated at the beginning. Singles skating didn't make a name for itself. In the end, when Coach Yao went to select talents, he thought Comrade Lao Pang was tall and good-looking, so he took the other two girls who had been dug over and said, come on, choose one to be your partner.

Comrade Lao Pang picked the girl Tong who was more beautiful, with long hands and feet, and a stubborn personality that was more in line with his aesthetics. Didn't think about it that much.

Not to mention, these two are slender and have a good temperament, and their appearance is quite pleasing to the eye.

At that time, Shen Zhao had slipped out of the fame, and the Pang Tong group was naturally not taken seriously. After sitting on the bench for several years, the two were still strong-tempered. They often disagreed with each other during training. Not only did they quarrel, There was a fight, and the relationship was once very rigid.

But, if one of the two has a good relationship with the opposite sex, well, the other will feel uneasy, and in the end, neither of them will date the opposite sex at all, and concentrate on training with the other party while staying single, although There have also been embarrassing incidents of crying together after losing a national competition, but they have gradually left the bench and stepped onto the world stage.

They used to quarrel and fight each other, but now they are a couple. Although the two athletes are in their 30s when they participated in Vancouver, and each has injuries, Miss Tong really loves skating, and Comrade Pang really loves Xiao Miss Tong, so the two seem to plan to support another Olympic cycle, saying that they will consider withdrawing after participating in Sochi.

True love is unmistakable. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Speaking of this, Victor also discussed with Yuuri that they seemed to have quarreled in the past, for example, Victor and Yuuri fought to get into 11 games with Yuuri.

Fighting is really gone, after all, before the two of them fell in love, Victor had already had a high value for Yuuri's force value, not to mention Victor himself has the basic ethics of not domestic violence, and if he doesn't take the initiative to fight, Yuuri is also afraid of hurting Victor Yuuri never gets rough on Viktor unless he asks for a triangular head clamp.

After the pair skating ended, on the 17th, at the Pacific Gymnasium, which can accommodate 14200 people, the men's singles short program competition officially began.

Although there is no Shura field atmosphere where the four King Kongs compete for power in the women's singles, the infighting between couples of the same school seems to have attracted many people.

At this time, the popularity of figure skating was rising steadily, and the venue was full of seats.

In the warm-up room, Yuuri calmly broke his legs while squinting his eyes and memorized every movement of the short program that his body had already memorized, while Victor directly performed land movements in the warm-up room. Neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was inexplicable tense up.

Joubert and Zachary Zhang, who were in the last group like them, looked at each other with subtle expressions.

Zachary Zhang is participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time, he can't keep calm like Yuuri, anxiety surges in his heart, in order to ease the atmosphere, he winks hard at Joubert, hey, there seems to be a fire between those two people |The smell of medicine, what can I say to slow down?

Joubert looked up at the sky. He is a straight man, and he is currently single, so he doesn't want to mix it up. Besides, it is impossible to be uninspired in competitive sports. It would be nice for the two of them to warm up together in peace, okay? .

He muttered in his heart that he should take care of himself first. It was no secret that the two lived together in the Olympic Village, and their relationship must be very good.

Joubert is right. Everyone is experienced in competitions. This is the second time for Victor to participate in the Winter Olympics. He was a bronze medalist in the last one. Although it is the first time for Yuuri to participate in the Olympics, he is also a big storm Those who come here have a very good mental quality.

All they think about now is to win!

Yuuri was the first to enter the stage. As one of the youngest figure skating men's singles competitors in this year's Winter Olympics, he was also the most competitive.

This is very strange, because when Victor joined Turin, he was three months younger than Yuuri now, but at that time he was also already a fearsome and strong man.

When the figure skating star from Asia showed up, fans started screaming for him.

Yuuri calmly took a sip of warm water in front of the baffle to moisturize his throat, and Yakov stretched out his hand to him: "It's not easy to get to this place, be good at slipping, and do a performance that lives up to your hard work!"

Master and apprentice shook hands, Yuuri smiled at him, turned and slid towards the center of the ice.

Yakov felt a little relieved when he saw it. Cathy, your pumpkin has grown up now and is here to participate in the Winter Olympics. You are right. He is a good boy. I look forward to good results for him and Vicha.

When you were in heaven, did you look at those children with the same mood as me?

Yakov sent a special message to Lilia before the match, he didn't know if that woman would watch Yuuri and Viktor's match, but he hoped she would.

After all, the two children are the best, and Yakov hopes that Lilia can be as proud of them as he is.

In front of the TV, Yulacka, Xiaonan, Phichit, Ji Guanghong, Otabek from Kazakhstan, and the young Canadian player Jean-Jacques Leroy who was watching the match all opened their eyes wide. A few years older than them, the young man who has been able to set foot on the highest stage under the eyes of everyone has envy and longing in his eyes.

One day, I also want to go there and compete with him on the same stage!

Yuuri's season short program is Vivaldi's "Four Seasons-Summer", and the version chosen is conducted by Karajan. The exciting violin sound is the main tune, as if a summer rainstorm is slanting down.

Yuuri has always followed the route of a fairy boy before, which is of course very good and charming, but this season he has changed his previous style, and his performance in the short program is direct and fiery, and the biggest feeling of this program is that it is exciting.

His jump arrangement is 4lo, 3A, 4S+3T, which is also the arrangement with the highest comprehensive index of difficulty and stability that Yuuri can present.

To say that the Skating Federation is also painstaking, because of the existence of Victor and Yuuri, the quadruple jump battle began to sweep the entire figure skating circle with a posture that surpassed the current era. In order to ensure that the players do not rush to the difficulty and ignore the art and stability, They have increased their requirements for technical specifications and jumping quality this season.

This also directly led to the fact that North American player Lesa Cheek was able to beat players with quadruple jumps in the competition without a quadruple jump. The change of this rule has actually caused criticism from many people.

After all, if the difficulty of competitive sports is to go up, let him go up, what else can stop him? @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Many fans of Yong also think that this rule is simply to cheat their idols. Who doesn't know that Katsuki Yuuri has no shortage of difficulty and expressiveness, but the stability is a bit so what?

And when later generations comment on Yuuri Katsuki, they will always sigh with regret that the stability of this big guy is always not good enough compared to Victor, but he seems to be destined to carry an Olympic medal, as long as he is on the Olympic field, he can be clean The show, and even the most outstanding performance of the entire season, is simply magical.

The legend begins from this moment, Yuuri uses his powerful body appeal, and fast-paced and complex footwork to make people's emotional index rise, and the excitement surges in the chest.

From 1 minute and 8 seconds, his performance was like a torrent erupting, heartily, and even the rotation was so fast that it was eye-catching.

"Crazy, he is crazy, just like in the free skating at the World Championships last year, he completely let go after a fall and started to release himself, and Katsuo in this program has been releasing from the beginning, this The show is really like the cold wind and rain in summer, and it has a special production of coldness and heat at the same time, which is really exciting!"

People said before that it was an unwise move for Yuuri to hand over the short program "SunAndMoon" which is more like a champion to Victor this season. If Yuuri, who is rich in emotion and better at artistic performance, skates this affectionate track , maybe it will be more suitable, and Victor is more suitable to skate "Four Seasons-Summer" with showy colors.

Just change them.

But now, after watching Yuuri's performance, who can say that he is not suitable for this show?

@无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

The narrator said hoarsely: "This is the most classic version of all figure skating programs that perform "Four Seasons-Summer"!"

The commentary on another station was more rational, but he couldn’t stop admiring: “There are many figure skaters who interpret Vivaldi’s works, but Katsuo is a miracle. He can always turn the songs he skated into his own. There is no one better than his interpretation, he is a one-of-a-kind artist on ice!"

When Yuuri's score came out, everyone felt that this score was unsurpassable, but when Victor came on stage, people still had expectations for him, hoping that he could put on a performance that rivaled Yuuri's.

Only an evenly matched battle has the highest uncertainty and attracts the attention of more audiences. This is something everyone understands.

And Victor didn't disappoint.

He was very unlucky last season because of a car accident and directly canceled all important competitions including the Grand Prix final and the World Championships. Because of his absence, there are only two places for the men's singles in the Winter Olympics. The doctor once It was once judged that he would need to rely on a wheelchair in his next life.

But now he is back, in a more perfect posture.

No one knew how desperate Victor was when he lost his mobility and could only lie on the hospital bed, thinking about the future that seemed to have no light.

He might just become a cripple.

But there is one person who never gave up on him, and has been firmly encouraging and guarding him by his side, like the sunlight that dispels the darkness, and also like the gentle moonlight that illuminates his dreams.

Victor has changed, he cut off his long hair, and with the posture of a mature man, he is about to welcome a new stage of life, with another person.

No matter what path he takes in the future, what setbacks he will encounter, eventually he and Yuuri will meet in the old place, and then they will share daylight, moonlight, morning, sunset, and night.

And "SunAndMoon" has become an invitation for him, a transmission of heart.

Sincere emotions are always the most touching.

In the end, the technical scores of Victor and Yuuri are actually almost the same.

Victor's jump arrangement is 4F, 3A, 4S+3T, and 4F is 4 points higher than Yuuri's 0.3lo base score. Victor's jump quality is also higher, because Yuuri's jump is still a bit off-axis, but he can do it without an axis. It's just falling on the ice, the golden knee is not blown, and Victor's jump is always stable on the axis.

As for the skating score, the two of them also drew a tie this time, but the spinning score, which was once Yuuri's weak point, became the advantage in this competition. His high-speed spinning, super flexibility, rich spinning posture and familiarity with the double Rotation in this direction makes Yuuri's rotation GOE higher.

So what determines the ranking of the short program is their p-score, Victor's p-score is 0.5 higher than that of Yuuri, temporarily ranking first in the short program.

But at this moment, everyone understands that 0.5 points is definitely not an irreparable gap, and when it comes to free skating, I am afraid it will be another battle between dragons and tigers.

When Victor left the kc area, Yuuri was standing by, and he punched Victor.

"You haven't won yet."

Victor smiled and boxed with him: "Just wait, I am determined to win, for the sake of my oath."

oath?

Yuuri tilted his head in confusion, and Victor gave him a mysterious smile.

During the Turin Winter Olympics just four years ago, Victor hurried to leave the stadium by plane because of the news of the Kyushu earthquake, and ran to where Yuuri was.

At Fukuoka Airport, they ran through the glass wall and finally hugged each other. Victor used his bronze medal to propose to Yuuri, but Yuuri didn’t say yes, but just said a word as a joke. Maybe Yuuri himself didn’t take it seriously on, but Victor always remembers.

I will take the Olympic gold medal and ring, and propose to you in front of many people, so this competition, I must win!
