figure skating king

When I returned to Moscow from Hong Kong, my first reaction was—it was so cold!

The daily average temperature in April in Russia is the lowest -1 and the highest is 9 degrees, while the daily average temperature in Hong Kong is the lowest 22 and the highest is 28 degrees.

Amy frantically rummaged through the suitcase and put on the clothes, shivering: "It's so cold, Katsuo Davari, you also remember to put on the clothes... eh?"

Yuuri, who had already put on his thick coat, walked over with a cup of hot coffee he bought at an unknown time, looking very calm.

Faced with Amy's surprise, he blinked: "Hong Kong and Moscow are in a subtropical zone and a cold temperate zone. It's normal to have a big temperature difference. Didn't you prepare for it in advance?"

Amy said in shame: "I'm sorry, I haven't traveled to places with such a low latitude before, and I didn't have any sense of preparation when I came back."

"It's okay, I'll have experience in the future." Yuuri stroked Amy's golden hair and passed the coffee.

Amy: "Hey, is this mine?"

"Of course it's yours. I usually drink tea."

Yuuri took this bewildered French girl out of the airport to take the bus, and took her home first, and told her to remember to adjust the jet lag today so that she would not be exhausted when she resumed her daily routine tomorrow, and then went back to the villa to report to the boss.

Anatoly hummed, and asked, "Did you see Jia Cong?"

Yuuri replied respectfully: "Yes, Senior Jiacong is very nice."

"He is also the last survivor of my previous generation. Liulongan used to be the best survivor organization in Asia. My third match was led by Dr. Yu from Liulongan. Now the older generation is Go clean."

The old leader looks a bit sad, brother Jiacong entered the space a year and a half earlier than the old leader, this is for survivors of one generation a year, brother Jiacong has more seniority as a survivor than Anatoly, As the last person of his generation, his departure must have special significance for Anatoly.

But Anatoly didn't intend to talk to Yuurido about the past, and only asked him to report to his two teachers.

Zhu Ling sees Yuuri, the first thing she does is ask him to go on the scale.

Yuuri understood, he stood on the scale silently, the last number he saw was not good, Zhu Ling and Katharina looked at each other, and measured Yuuri's height again.

The height of the child is 128cm, which is 1cm taller than last month. The child grows fast, but the weight gain is... Sure enough, he is prone to obesity, and accidents will happen if he does not control it.

Katharina frowned tightly: "How much did you eat? It wasn't like this before you left!"

Yuuri has to go on the scale every morning, so that his teachers can monitor his body data in real time. Who would have thought that the people who traveled to Hong Kong would... After walking around Bangkok last time, this kind of situation also happened. Not as fast as him.

The little guy has a slender frame, excellent body proportions, clear facial contours, and delicate facial features. If he controls it properly, he will definitely look good when he enters the youth group in a few years.

They were even thinking about the choreography and Kosten they would use for Yuu in the future. The two big bosses teamed up to take care of a child.

As long as one is not paying attention, he can give people a "big surprise" with his weight.

"Fortunately, I have doubled the training schedule for you before, otherwise how can you control it." Zhu Ling shook her head again and again, telling the children to rest and adjust the jet lag first, and then resume training tomorrow.

Katharina was more open-minded: "It's okay, he gains weight quickly and loses weight quickly, and this amount of meat only takes a few days."

Yuuri didn't go to rest at this time, but stood where he was, looking at them a little nervously.

Seeing the child like this, Zhu Ling knew he had something to say, so she knelt down and asked Yuuri, "What's wrong?"

Yuuri hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Well, I want to participate in this year's National Figure Skating Children's Competition..."

Children have loved dancing and skating since they were young, because for Yuuri, who is not good at making friends and doesn’t like to be lively, it is more comfortable to train alone in the dance classroom and ice rink, so since he was 6 years old, he has been participating with the coach I participated in two competitions in the children's group, the first time I was No.3, and the second time I won the first place.

That encouraged him a lot. If he hadn't had leukemia, Yuuri would have advanced to higher-level competitions later on, but after arriving in Russia, although he resumed training and even worshiped the Olympic champion Katharina as his teacher, they asked Yuuri focused on training for a year first, and after two years, he directly entered the rookie group to compete.

This is understandable, after all, the child was so ill that he almost died before, it takes time for his body to recover, and it takes time to make up for the half a year that was vacant, but Yuuri can't wait any longer, his lifespan is already visible at a glance, and the competition is a small one. once.

Katharina and Zhu Ling looked at each other with understanding in their eyes.

It's not that they can't understand Yuuri's mood.

And the question about figure skating is up to Katherina to decide, she thought for a while, and pressed Yuuri's shoulder.

"Do you really want to participate in the competition? Do you feel that your current level can meet the competition standards?"

Little Pumpkin Katsuki, who is still jumping unsteadily and spinning dizzily, froze all over, but he still nodded firmly: "I have stabilized 2A, and I still have half a year to prepare, and I will make other moves I can do it too! I'm not afraid of suffering, I can definitely do it!"

Moreover, Yuuri's level is still a little bit inferior to his Japanese peers. Now he can jump 2A, use Bellman, which is rare among male players, and his advantage is too obvious. If he can stabilize other jumps, he can definitely do it. contest.

Indeed, there are still geniuses in this world that Katharina said "jumped 5A on land at the age of 2, and triple axel at the age of 8" (that is Victor, Katharina knows that Brother Yakov has such a genius jumper, just like Yakov knows Junior Sister's apprentice is a weirdo who dare not jump back), but Yuuri also has a relatively clear understanding of his own abilities.

"The only thing about suffering is that I believe you have no problem."

Katharina patted the child's head. Since she knew this child, he has been suffering all the way. The learning tasks assigned by them and Andre are enough to overwhelm most adults, but Yuuri never said give up. He She can see her diligence and self-control.

"If you said these words to me a few months ago, I would only think that you were overreaching. Now, I will give you a chance."

"3 months, as long as you can spin and slide to the extent I think you are qualified, and stabilize 3T, 2S, and 2lo within 2 months, then I will allow you to participate. Of course, I will arrange the corresponding menu for you. is that OK?"

This is really the prelude to the devil's training, Yuuri shuddered.

What happened in the next three months, Yuuri didn't even want to recall, anyway, before August came, Yuuri barely passed Katharina's test.

At the same time, Zhu Ling also compiled Yuuri's program "Ashidaka" for this season, but Miss Wushen only did choreography and music editing, and Katharina decided on the technical movements.

(The author is not a professional figure skater. The following refers to the program composition of the All-Day Rookie Team of Ha Niu in 04. The little Ha Niu is so cute).

2A

jump squat spin

2lz

2lz2S

program sequence

2F2S

2lo

2F

Sequence step

2lz

2A

Combined spins (swallow spin, squatting spin followed by Bellman)

In addition to the above moves, Katharina also asked Yuuri to do the swallow-style tour, the swallow-up, and the knife-lifting tour in the show. If Yuuri hadn't practiced the pearl turn well, this move would also be included, probably in the In her eyes, the apprentice's flexibility is stronger than that of many girls, and many movements are not added in vain.

Yuuri practiced so much that tears came down. Maybe these movements are simple and unnecessary in the eyes of Yuuri a few years later, but in the eyes of Yuuri who is only one month away from turning 1 years old, it is really good. Oh, it’s difficult, you know that he only practiced 8lz half a month ago, and finally stabilized his double jump.

And his so-called stable two-week jump refers to a separate jumping training. If you want to do the dance moves in the program, enjoy the music at the same time, and then jump into the transition, sorry, his success rate is still only 60.00%. Among them, the success rate of 2lz is only 30.00%.

Apart from 2A, he doesn't have jumps that can be completely stable in performances as well.

The child held his program composition, trembling for a long time, and asked timidly: "Well, you can win in the children's group without this difficulty?"

He is still a child.

Katharina comforted him: "It's okay. When I was competing, I often made the composition of the program just a little bit beyond my ability, and then went directly to the field to make a breakthrough. You can treat this as training."

Yuuri fell into a life of doubt. He didn't feel at all that he was the kind of player who could explode on the spot and break through the limit. Little Pumpkin Katsuo used to go on stage trembling and then end crying.

Zhu Ling said: "Don't worry, we don't expect you to win. After all, you have only been with us for more than half a year. This time I want you to experience the atmosphere of the competition. If you really want to win the gold medal, it will be next year. This year, you want to step on it." The table for the national competition is just fine."

What does it mean to just step on a platform?Does that mean something that can be done with one click?

Yuuri suddenly understood that if he really fell into a dog in the arena, the end would be very bad!

Tremendous stress.

Fortunately, before leaving, Yuuri took Sasha (Alexander's nickname) through his third match. In the space, Sasha learned about the distress of the little boss and gave him comfort.

He said: "The worst thing in life is death. You can defeat even death. What else in this world can't you win?"

Yuuri was a little embarrassed: "My chance to compete is one less than once, what if the competition fails?"

"Then we will fight again next year. Liu Xia (Sasha's younger sister Lyudmila) wanted to enter the Bolshoi Ballet, but was rejected last year and this year. Now she is preparing for next year's Moscow International Ballet Competition. Now She has already qualified for the competition, as long as you don't give up, there will always be another chance, and your chances haven't run out yet."

Yuuri's pressure finally eased a little, he held his chest and sighed.

"You're right, Sasha."

Miss Nanazi stood up and said, "Let's go and find the key thing. I probably know where it is. Try to get out of this damn place today. I've had enough of this client."

Yes, when he took Sasha through the third game, he took a job by chance, but that client was too noisy, since he came in, he kept asking for the phone number of jk girl Nanazi, Yuuri wanted to Take that dude's jaw off.

If it wasn't for the fact that he could earn 3 million rubles (approximately 4.7w U.S. dollars) after this trip, which could help Alexander relieve his financial pressure and pay for his air tickets and hotel accommodation for this game, he wouldn't bother with that guy at all.

========

In mid-August, the children's competition of the Chushikoku Youth Figure Skating Competition in Japan was about to start. Katharina led Yuuri into the arena. Considering the financial pressure on the little pumpkin, Zhu Ling did not come with her.

Standing there, the blond-haired, blue-eyed, delicate Barbie-like beauty is extremely eye-catching. She glanced around and shook her head: "I haven't participated in this kind of small competition without buying a ticket since I was 13 years old."

Yuuri is embarrassed: "Well, it's mainly because I didn't participate in the national competition last year, so I don't have a seed player. If I want to participate in the national competition, I have to start with the local competition."

"That's true, but you can't blame you for being sick."

Katharina pushed him with her arm, and said with a joke: "I heard from the leader that your client is very satisfied with you. Not only did he ask you to bring him by name next time, but he also always wants your phone number."

Yuuri: "... If there is no 500 million rubles next time, I will never take his order again."

Katharina laughed: "Actually, it's normal for you to be chased just like you are in the space."

Yuuri resisted the urge to roll his eyes, pulled Katharina to find a place to sit down, stuffed drinks and snacks in her arms, and took out the registration materials from his bag to report.

"Katsuki Yuuri, children's group." The big brother at the report office read a sentence, quickly looked up at Yuuri, and said in surprise: "So it was the champion of the children's group last year, and he obviously had the opportunity to go to the national competition last year, Katsuki-kun Why didn't you go in the end?"

Yuuri softly replied, "I'm sick, so I didn't go."

"So that's how it is, it's really unfortunate, but Mr. Shengsheng seems to be in good condition now, please cheer for the next game, here, please remember to bring your ID card, otherwise you will not be allowed to enter the ice rink, where is your coach ?”

Usually, the adults do the check-in, Yuuri is the only young player who comes to check-in by himself.

The child continued to reply softly: "The coach doesn't understand Japanese, so I came here."

"Eh?"

The big brother at the reporting office watched Yuuri run up to a blonde beauty with his ID card, and rubbed his eyes for a while.

He pushed the colleague next to him hard: "I seem to be a little dazzled, can you help me see if the one over there is Katharina Notrieva?"

The colleague looked over there and said, "Nautriyeva? The Queen of the Ice Face? Just kidding...fuck it's her!"

The existence of Katharina shocked many people. In this place where many ice fans gather, she was unsurprisingly surrounded by crowds and asked to sign autographs and take photos. Yuuri was shocked when he came back from the lottery, but the female czar was very happy about it. Calm down, just let your students warm up and handle these things by yourself.

Yuuri asked worriedly: "You don't speak Japanese, does it matter if I leave?"

Katharina waved her hand: "It's okay, I can speak English."

Yuuri was even more worried.

The result of the collision between Russian English and Japanese English is beyond his imagination, okay?

He entered the ice rink worriedly and began to practice, when a boy about his age came over to say hello to him.

"Hey, Katsuki, I'm so glad to see you back on the field. Why didn't you go to the national competition last year?"

Yuuri was stunned for a moment, stared at the boy for a while, and asked cautiously: "May I ask if you are..."

The boy got stuck, he jumped and said, "It's me! Masahiro Ishimura!"

Masahiro Ishimura was about to die of anger. He thought he was Yuuri Katsuki's old opponent, and he had been paying attention to him since the kindergarten group. When Yuuri wore pumpkin clothes for the first time to participate in the competition, Masahiro Ishimura defeated him and took the No.1 in that game, last year he was defeated by Yuuri and finished second.

Originally, Ishimura wanted to continue to compete with Yuuri in the national competition, but this kid suddenly withdrew from the competition, which made the kid Ishimura feel super unhappy even though he won No.2 in the national competition.

Tsk, that Hoshino who is proud of winning No. 1 probably doesn't know that there is another Katsuki Yuuri who beat him in Ishimura in Kyushu, right?If this guy participates in the competition, it is not certain who will win the first place in the end!

In the end, this brat, who had won and lost before himself, couldn't even recognize who he was!

He snorted angrily: "I don't care if you went to Russia to be an apprentice to the female tsar last year, just listen to me, I have already learned 4 two-step jumps, and I will definitely beat you to win the national championship this year! "

Yuuri searched his memory to make sure again that he didn't know anyone.

He blinked, turned around and slid away with a dazed look on his face, this feeling of meeting a stranger he knew very well was so embarrassing, he better run away.

Before Masahiro Ishimura could react, Yuuri had already slid to the other side of the field, which made the children angry.

That guy definitely doesn't remember him, does he? !Absolutely so!

After the ice dancing competition, the men's singles event of the children's group began. Yuuri's lottery has always been stinky, and now he is the first to enter the court. He took a deep breath, took off his coat and handed it to the coach.

His clothes were made by Zhu Ling herself, imitating the white fur clothing of Xiao Sang, the heroine of "Princess Mononoke", which is fluffy on the children's body, and a similar forehead decoration is also hung on the forehead.

"Yuuri."

Katharina waved to the student, and Yuuri walked over as promised, and she hugged her into her arms.

"Yuuri, you are my first and will be my last student. I have poured all my heart and soul into you as a coach. I have seen with my own eyes that you have been unable to stand firmly when you got back on the ice, and you have been walking all the way to the end of the ice." At your current level, you may still be immature in the eyes of world-class players, but this does not mean that you are not great, since you stand here, you are a brave man who has defeated fate!"

"Originally, I wanted you to practice for another year before participating in the competition. I was afraid that if you participated in an unstable situation, the final result might affect your self-confidence, but I want to say that your performance in practice surprised me. , your efforts are unparalleled, and I am proud of you!"

"Go, do what you want, I will be here to watch you no matter what, you are the most brave and beautiful child here!"

This was the first time that the female tsarina showed such tenderness in front of people other than his wife, and almost made her disciples cry on the spot.

Yuuri sniffed and wiped his eyes: "Really, talking about this now, I'm going to cry."

"Thank you, Coach Cathy."

Katharina bent her eyes like light blue glass: "Go, give everyone a surprise, let them see what you and I have learned, you will be the most amazing existence today."

In fact, what is so amazing about the children's competition?Yuuri thought so in his heart, but the liter of chicken soup poured down by Katharina really warmed the child's whole body, and he felt that his whole body was full of strength.

He skated to the center of the rink and took a ready position.

Accompanied by the music of "Ashidaka Wars", the little pumpkin Shengsheng who once lost the silver medal in the toddler competition with tears and won the gold medal announced his return to the battlefield.

The first jump is - 2A which he is best at!

Only the stability of Axel's jump, I am confident that I will not lose to anyone!

Yuuri took a deep breath and jumped up.

Ishimura, who had been standing on the sidelines staring at Yuuri, stared wide-eyed: "Axel for two weeks... is it a lie?!"

Katharina also called her senior brother after Yuuri came on stage.

"Hey, Yakov, my student is already on stage... yes, I encouraged him as you said."

Yakov watched Viktor spin around on the court, and responded, "Well, how did he react?"

Katharina's cheerful voice came from the phone: "He looks good, ah! I knew this kid wouldn't embarrass me! But this is a small game without even a commentary, and winning is a matter of course."

There was faint applause coming from the phone, which usually means that the contestant has successfully jumped.

Yakov rolled his eyes: "It's not just that I don't want to embarrass you, you are lucky to meet a kid who jumped out of 2A in the children's group. Your students are very talented. You have such a kid as the starting point of your coaching career." It's going to be great."

"Starting point? No, he is my end point. I don't plan to accept students other than Yuuri. He will be my only apprentice. One day he will surprise the world, Yakov, I am very confident about this .”

"Maybe his jumping talent is not as good as yours, but his musicality and skating talent are higher than mine, and he works harder than anyone else. He will create miracles! Maybe he will win in the competition one day I’ve been to your Vicha.”

With a snap, the phone hung up. Yakov looked at the phone and took a deep breath.

"The first time you teach, you say that you want to train students who are better than Vicia? Don't be too arrogant! Damn girl!"

"Victor! Do your step sequence again! Is your waist dead? Don't just move your legs, use your waist strength!"

Victor is innocent, so what about Yakov?Have you eaten fire|drugs?

All in all, Yuuri did pretty well.

Although his 2F still accidentally missed the edge, and he even supported the ice when he was doing 2lz2T jumps, but his other parts of the performance were very good. When Bellman appeared at the end, he even caused applause and amazement from the audience.

Congratulations to the children for successfully winning the regional championship.

The author has something to say:

At this time, the article is still in 2000, and even the scoring system was 6.0 at that time, so some things are hard to check, but it seems that I can participate in figure skating competitions at a very young age. According to this year's Asian Youth Figure Skating Challenge, The children's figure skating competition has six stages: youth group, senior youth group, intermediate youth group, junior youth group, children's group, and infant group.

The youth group is 13-19, the senior youth group is 10-15, the intermediate youth group is under 15 years old, the junior youth group is under 13 years old, the children's group is 7-11 years old, the toddler group is under 8 years old, and the senior youth group is under [-] years old. The competitions below the group are all about free skating, and the short program and free skating will be required in the senior junior group.

Yuuri used to participate in the toddler group competitions, but now 11-year-old Victor should participate in the senior junior group competitions. In Japan, the 9-12-year-old competitions below the youth group are called the rookie group, such as Ha Niu and Big Brother. His old enemy Hino Ryuki when he was young was from the children's group pk to the rookie group, until the youth group's big brother gradually left all his peers, all the way to the top, and Yuuri at this time was going to participate in the children's group competition.

However, games that are too young do not attract much attention. Most of them are only watched by parents and some coaches who want to dig out good seedlings. Generally speaking, at least the rookie group will attract everyone's attention. I can't even jump well in the double jump, and I can't watch the competition.

Those players of different nationalities in the adult group in the world don’t care about their rankings, but they have been the top among their peers since they were young, and they have won all the way from the rookie group to the youth group, and only then have the opportunity to enter the international stage. Usually before they enter the vision of most ice fans, they have already defeated countless people. Competitive sports is like this.

So what can be seen everywhere!Where does the sixth in the world come from? It can be seen everywhere? !Had all those figure skaters who were defeated before been eaten by Makachin!
