figure skating king

Chapter 331: Respecting Yakov's Father

Before the 12-13 season, Yuuri had always been inferior to Victor because of his poor quality of jumping and physical strength.

But at the beginning of the 12-13 season, Yuuri, who gritted his teeth to make up for his technical deficiencies and improved his stamina, took off without hesitation, ready to fight Victor to the end.

In the flower planting station of the Grand Prix, which is his first stop of the season, he showed a performance that shocked the world. He scored 115.52 points in the short program and 236.05 points in the free skating, and his total score finally reached an unprecedented 351.57. This allowed Yuuri to take back the world record for total points and set a new world record for free skating.

God knows that the No.2 Christophe's total score is only 300, which is already a very rare result in men's figure skating, but Yuuri directly beat him by more than [-] points, no wonder a large number of people call him a monster .

And everyone knows that this record won't last long, among other things, according to Yuuri's jump difficulty configuration, as long as he performs better, there will be room for GOE and p points to rise in the next competition. There is no problem in brushing this record up again.

Well, so it still depends on how the boss plays.

So under the eyes of everyone, Yuuri fell into a dog in the French station.

There is no other reason. The quality of the ice rink in France is really bad. When Yuuri landed on the ice, he got stuck directly, and he slid out of the stunned side. Tripped over an advertising poster that fell off the ice.

It's hell to break the record in such a broken environment.

Standing on the podium, looking at the national flag on the electronic screen, Yuuri squeezed the plastic medal, expressionless, at this moment he missed the quality of the ice surface of the neon station and the flower planting station.

Damn, it's no wonder that even Victor, who is as gentle as an old man, has never been cleaned in France, and he will never choose France again!

Everyone knows that Yuuri must be very upset in France, even though he still won the gold medal in France.

Victor also won two gold medals in the following competitions, and the two rushed to the final with the same highest score.

At this time, the ice world is already a new pattern. In the women's figure skating event, Yuna, who has come back, Maojiang, Nasjia, and Anfisa, who have always been active, are fighting for it. La and Sara are also staring at each other.

On the other side of the ice dance, the two combinations of VM and DW were brilliant for a while.

In the pair skating, there are newcomers from Big Goose and Planting Flowers competing against each other, but the veteran German player S has not retired yet, and she is ready to continue to fight.

Men's singles is a proper two-super-multi-strong situation. Victor and Yuuri are the well-deserved kings. Basically, as long as the two of them play, the tickets are in short supply. At the same time, they can always beat other players by at least 30 points. It does not mean that there are no strong players in other countries.

In Europe, there are the new king of spinning and the sexy Swiss player Christophe who has grown up, Popovich, the big goose brother who finally made it to the stage at the European Championship last year, and the promising Italian rookie Michele , Spanish player Daniel, French black player Pierre, and Austrian player Simon.

In Asia and America, there are Cao Bin who won the silver medal in the Four Continents Championship last year, Zachary Zhang who won the bronze medal in the Four Continents Championship, Yake Ruipen from the United States, and Oda Nobushiro and Ishimura from the same country as Yuuri. will be good.

According to statistics, in last year's Grand Prix finals, five of the six contestants who made it to the finals had mastered three or more quadruple jumps. Victor and Yuuri were May Fourth youths. There are more than 4 players who have shown 4T and 8S quadruple jumps, and those who do not have quadruple jumps will definitely not be able to enter the top twelve.

It can be seen from this that people still have to be forced. The media jokingly called the existence of the double kings, which directly accelerated the development of figure skating for ten years.

The six men's singles players who entered the finals of the adult group this time, in addition to the double king, there are Christopher, Zachary Zhang, Oda Shinsei, and Cao Bin.

The 12-13 grand prix finals were held in Sochi, Russia, and for the 14-year-old Minami Kenjiro who entered the youth grand prix finals for the first time, this was his first visit to Russia.

The children looked around excitedly as soon as they got off the plane.

"Wow, this is the country where Yuuri-kun usually lives and trains, it's really... so cold!"

Xiao Nan sneezed, quickly took out his coat from the suitcase and put it on, the game was approaching, if he caught a cold it would be bad.

Coach Miyoko patted Xiaonan on the shoulder: "Okay, Yuuri-kun is usually in St. Petersburg, but he should come to Sochi quite a lot for competitions, and next year he will participate in the Winter Olympics held here .”

"I think it must be Yuri-kun who wins!" @无限好文,all in Jinjiang Literature City

Xiao Nan said this firmly, and then the master and the apprentice, in stuttering Japanese English, asked the service desk for the route to the hotel designated by the event organizer. Just as they were about to take a ride, a phone rang.

Xiao Nan frantically took out his phone, looked at the caller ID and opened his eyes wide: "Ah! It's Yuuri-kun!"

He picked up the phone, and a familiar voice came from the phone.

"Nan Jun, are you at the airport in Sochi now?"

Xiao Nan subconsciously stood up straight and replied, "Yes, yes!"

There was a chuckle on the phone.

"Okay, let's look back."

Konan glanced back, and saw Yuuri-kun, whom he was thinking of, was waving at him.

As a fanboy, Xiaonan finally went to the hotel in the car driven by Yuuri-kun, and Nikiforov was the co-pilot. This is definitely the highest treatment an ice fan can enjoy, right?

In fact, Yuuri didn't mean to take care of Xiaonan deliberately. In his heart, everything he did was just some common caring for the younger generation by the seniors, and when Japanese English and Russian English were matched, it was probably chicken and duck talking. If I don't help, I'm really afraid that Xiao Nan will get lost in Sochi.

Before entering the hotel, Yuuri suddenly remembered something, and smiled at Xiao Nan: "Nan Jun, why don't you get out of the car and go in first, I'll go in later, lest you get blocked."

"Block, block up?"

Konan didn't understand, so Miyoko-sensei immediately understood Yuuri's meaning, she nodded and quickly agreed, and pulled the students out of the car.

Then when they checked into the hotel, they found that there were already many media people here, and then one person shouted: "They are here."

The reporters stood up one after another, carrying the long|gun|short|cannon and ran towards the door, continuously extending their microphones into the crowd.

Xiao Nan was stunned: "Good, very popular."

"Well, it's them after all."

Teacher Miyoko sighed helplessly: "Fortunately, we came in first, otherwise we would be surrounded by the media."

Viktor and Yuuri obviously have a lot of experience in dealing with the media, and they huddled forward while answering reporters' questions casually.

After finally getting out of the crowd, Xiao Nan saw a red-haired girl screaming happily, ran to Yuuri's side and shook his arm, and said a bunch of Russian that Xiao Nan couldn't understand at all.

This is Mila Babicheva, who is the most promising in the rookie women's singles, and then a blond boy with a stinky face also walked over. He was Yuracika who had reminded Xiaonan Yuuri that he was sick.

That's the star-studded Yakov group.

If the double kings ruled the Vancouver cycle and the Sochi cycle, then the legendary Yakov ruled the three cycles of Turin, Vancouver, and Sochi, because the most popular figure skaters in these three cycles are His disciples, Nasja and Anfisa in the women's singles have also won the World Championships and European Championships.

If you want to evaluate who is the best coach who is good at training single skaters in the world today, Yakov is No. 1 doing his part.

Of course, Yakov’s most talked about is his vision of picking apprentices. Anyone who can be his apprentice, regardless of the final grades, must not be inferior in appearance. It has become a recognized fact that Mozun accepts apprentices based on his face .

On December 12th, in a tense atmosphere, the finals of the 6-12 Figure Skating Grand Prix officially kicked off.

On the first day, the men's singles short program and the ice dance short dance of the youth group were compared.

The six finalists for men's singles in this year's youth group are JJ, Lee Seung-gi, Emil Nicola, Nan Kenjiro, Leo, and Ji Guanghong.

Although the youth group is generally not as popular as the adult group, but fortunately, three of the men's singles in the youth group released quadruple jumps. Even if they are curious about the future of these figure skating men's singles, many spectators came to watch, not to mention JJ's coach is the men's singles champion George in Turin, and many fans came directly to JJ's coach.

Before the game started, a candy flew into George's hand. George looked up and saw Yuuri waving at him with a Paddington bear in his arms.

George was silent for two seconds, looked left and right, ran up to Yuuri and poked Xiong Xiong: "Is this Kumar?"

The Paddington bear doll blinked quickly, um, it was confirmed that it was Kumar himself.

George couldn't help laughing: "Why did you bring Kumar here? Where are Makachin and Xiao Wei?"

Yuuri replied softly: "Amy also came to watch the game, the dogs went to book a restaurant with her and Vicha, I took Kumar around, Yakov's group will have dinner later, Yarman, Ah Jere and Grave and Peter will come."

George was surprised: "That kid Greve is coming too? Has he finished his military service?"

Yuuri shrugged: "It is said that it is a holiday, he is now specializing in repairing tanks, he should be in service all the time."

The gathering of the Yakov team was very lively this time, and it was rare for all the apprentices of the old coach to be present. After so many years, the lives of these fellow disciples have also undergone great changes.

Yakov's first disciple, Ajel, is still his farmer, and has entered the marriage hall with his boyfriend. Yuuri also went to be his best man, and the girlfriend who once gave him a "scumbag" The second brother Yarman divorced his wife this year, and he has two sons, one for each of them. He is currently working for the Russian Skating Federation.

George became a coach, Greve worked as a mechanical engineer in the army, and he seldom went home, but he was also married. After Peter retired, he worked as a commercial show for two years, and now he is Boris’ assistant agent, working all day long. Running with the band, it is said to learn things quickly.

Popovich, as the current second brother of the big goose, has a good upward trend in his grades after marriage. He made it to the European Championships last year, and Elaine is now five months pregnant. Two senior sisters who retired earlier Na and Aishana are also married and have children, and they brought their children to this party. During the party, they kept sharing their pregnancy experience with Elaine.

Brother Agel kept teasing Victor during the dinner, saying that when he was in the army, he always felt that Victor was a difficult type to settle down, and it would be difficult for Popovich to find a girl who can be with him all the time. Get dumped many times. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Unexpectedly, if one didn't pay attention, the two of them got married in a serious manner.

Brother Grave kept laughing and teased Yuuri: "I think Yuuri is the one who has changed the most between us. He was such a small child when he arrived in St. Petersburg, and he was even taller than me in a blink of an eye."

Smiling and laughing, everyone's expressions became complicated, and the atmosphere was silent for a while. Ajel raised his glass and looked at his teacher gratefully.

"To Yakov, thank you for taking us to the top of the world, letting us experience the charm of figure skating, and guiding us forward, Yakov, you are like a second dad to me."

Others raised their glasses and said, "Papa Yakov."

At that moment, the old coach's eyes seemed to be red.

The author has something to say:

The last meeting of all members of the Yakov group was on Teacher's Day, which is Chapter 202. Compared with that time, the members of the Yakov group now have their own opportunities.
