figure skating king

Yuuri had put in a lot of effort to win, and it would be no exaggeration to say he's been living in hell these days.

If it wasn't for going to Yurachika for a hug from time to time, and staying at Amy's house for a night to relieve fatigue, Yuuri wouldn't be able to handle such a heavy training. Of course, the result he could carry is that he successfully won the competition license, and take the first win in the race.

Shengsheng Little Pumpkin won the first battle when he came back from the arena. He used his own strength to tell other peers that Gua Zong will not die for a day, and you can only compete for second place.

In Katharina's words, "Your level is barely able to establish dominance among your peers, but you can't relax yet. If you want to keep moving forward, the ones you have to beat are not those who can't even double the double jump." The stable kids, but the big ones, who are much harder to deal with than the little ones."

She fiddled with the camera in her hand and sighed: "There is still a mountain of homework to do. There is still a lot of room for improvement in this program. Come on, your goal is the national championship, isn't it?"

There is a tradition in the Japanese media, that is, they will pay attention to major children and youth competitions, especially focusing on recording those winning children, because they have a high probability of achieving outstanding results after entering the adult group, and there may be the next generation of first brothers among them first sister.

Of course, no one is expecting which big brother will win any international championship in the future. After all, Japanese figure skating has developed for so many years, and women's singles is becoming more and more prosperous. People are optimistic that she will achieve good results in the Winter Olympics in Yancheng or Turin, if she can survive the developmental barrier that will come...

However, the performance of Japanese men’s singles is still sluggish all year round. The best ranking of the first brother in the past is only the 11th in the world, which is the current one. However, the current first brother is 25 years old this year, and his injuries are so serious that last season. I didn't participate in the All Rijin Championships, and I'm already scheduled to retire next year.

And Sugawara, who is ten years older than Yuuri, won the silver medal in the World Youth Championship last season, and is scheduled to be promoted next year, is also expected to be the first brother of the next generation, but this guy has not even stabilized 3A, although he won a Japanese championship The gold medal race, but I don't know what the prospects are.

Yuuri's performance in the competition was outstanding, even beyond his age. During his competition, some referees secretly murmured to his colleagues: "This kid is the best I have seen in this age group. If there is no accident, If luck is not bad, maybe there is hope to win a World Youth Championship in the future."

But what people are talking about is the World Youth Champion. After being promoted to the group, are there still few World Youth Champions who sink into the lake, or even get stuck in the bottom of the lake?After all, if the difficult movements of figure skating are performed late, it is easy to lose strength in the follow-up, and if the difficulty is performed early, it is easy to get injured, and most athletes are prone to get stuck in a certain bottleneck and cannot make an inch.

Faced with this situation, either the talent will burst through the bottleneck, or it will be stuck there and cannot make an inch of progress, and most athletes can only be the latter. It can be said that the cruelty of competitive sports and the importance of talent are undoubtedly revealed here. .

Moreover, the figure skating circle at this time is still respected by the two major powers of North America and Big Goose. Even the Japanese figure skating circle feels that unless they have accumulated enough aura over the years to summon a crape myrtle star from the sky, what kind of killer will they be? Breaking out of the encirclement of European and American powerful enemies, winning the world championship, etc. is just a dream.

"Crape Myrtle from the Sky" is still a cute baby at this time, because there is a former Olympic champion and coach who has won three consecutive world championships, and is being interviewed by a reporter with a microphone.

Sister reporter: "Hello, Mr. Shengsheng, can I say hello to the camera?"

Yuuri bowed politely and said, "Hi, I'm Yuuri Katsuki."

Sister reporter: "Kawaii~ First of all, congratulations to Katsuki-kun for winning No.1 in the competition. For the future of figure skating, does Katsuki-kun have any prospects?"

Yuuri pursed his lips in embarrassment and smiled: "Thank you, um——of course I hope to continue to win the championship in the future."

The sister of the reporter thought this kid was so cute. She smiled and said in a coaxing tone, "What kind of competition does Katsuo-kun want to win in the future? Ah, do you want to dominate the national competition? Just like Sugawara-kun?"

Yuuri blinked, although his voice was still soft, but his eyes suddenly became firm: "No, my goal is to become a world champion, and I hope to win an Olympic gold medal in the future."

Yuuri added in his mind, if I lived to that time.

After all, at present, the child can live to win the World Youth Championship at most... I don't know if I can win it.

The reporter's sister was quite shocked. This kid looked soft and cute, and his ambition was really big.

In view of the downturn in Japanese figure skating men's singles for many years, she didn't take it seriously. The main point in her heart was that this female tsar's apprentice was really soft and cute, so she smiled and encouraged: "Mr. Shengsheng is really very ambitious. The next competition Please do it too!"

Yuuri bowed again: "Thank you, I will try my best."

[Many years later, fans of the bravery burst into tears looking at this interview material many years ago, and bluntly said that their cubs are too competitive, you did it, you really did it, your dream came true. 】

In the end, the sister reporter invited Yuuri and Katharina to say hello to the camera and take a photo together.

After hearing Yuuri's translation, Katharina nodded, took off her sunglasses, walked behind Yuuri and stretched out her hands, hugged the child from behind, put her chin on top of Yuuri's head, and looked at the camera with a smile.

Yuuri was hugged by her for the first time, he was a little surprised, but he smiled happily and looked at the camera.

Afterwards, Katharina said to the camera in English: "I am Katharina Notrieva, this is Yuri Katsuki, a student of mine and my wife Zhu Ling. He will be our only student. I regard him as my son. , and firmly believe that he can become a future world champion, just wait for him to create more miracles in the future.”

After finishing speaking, she lowered her head and kissed Yuuri's forehead lightly, then pulled the stunned child away.

Yuuri covered his forehead and trotted to follow the coach, his face turned red before he knew it, his eyes sparkled, and he asked in a low voice.

"That... Katharina wants me to call you mother?"

Katharina was actually quite embarrassed, she snorted softly: "Call me if you want to, but I'm still used to you calling me Coach Cathy."

Yuuri really called out.

"Mother Cathy."

Kathleen stayed where she was for a second or two, and she muttered uncomfortably, "I'll call Zhu Ling when I go back, and call us teachers and coaches at ordinary times", and continued to pull Yuuri forward.

When he was about to leave the arena, the No.2 Yuuri didn't remember his name ran up to Yuuri and shouted loudly: "This time I lost, but you wait, I will show you a good look at the national competition!"

Yuuri: "...Oh."

How should I put it, facing this kind of boy who is like the protagonist of a hot-blooded boy manga, Yuuri with a background of horror|blood|bloody|manga really can't handle it, he always feels that his painting style is different from the other party's.

He thought for a while and asked the other party: "Well, what's your name?"

Brother No.2 was silent for a moment, then stomped his feet angrily: "...My name is Masahiro Ishimura! Didn't you hear what I said to you before!"

Yuuri rolled his eyes: "Well, I remember, my name is Katsuki Yuuri, see you in the next game, Ishimura-kun."

He waved his hand and left here with Katharina.

Masahiro Ishimura: "...Tch! Freak!"

But that kid didn't end up crying this year, but left with a smile, feeling more confident than before.

The coach walked up to the child and pressed his shoulder: "Jiangliang, your biggest opponent is practicing with the former Olympic champion, and you have set your goal at the Olympics."

Ishimura Masahiro snorted: "Then I also set my goal on winning the Olympics, who is afraid of anyone! I will not lose to him!"

This kid is only 8 years old. In fact, he never thought about how far he will be in ten years, but since the strongest opponent he believes has said so, he must not be outdone.

The coach watched and sighed, why is it so easy to win the Olympic Games?Men's singles figure skating in Japan is on the decline, and every time they get a place in the Olympics, the qualifications alone are enough to make people break their heads. This stupid boy of my own doesn't know the hardships and dangers of the world.

He breathed on Shicun's head: "Well, let's work hard and beat Katsuo first. Except for the first time you beat him, you were crushed to death at other times, right?"

The child named Shengsheng has a high skating talent. He can slide several meters away with a single push on the ice, but his jump is not stable. Last year, he won in a burst state, but this year he won steadily. Well, if you don't work hard, the silly boy will be thrown so that you can't even see the rear of the car.

On the other hand, Yuuri originally thought that he and Katharina would go back to Russia immediately, but unexpectedly his coach handed him a ticket to Hasezu, and he didn't know how this sister who didn't understand Japanese at all bought the ticket accurately.

She said: "Although the criterion for survivors is to reduce contact with ordinary people, and to avoid contact with family members in order to avoid implicating them when encountering things, but you have all returned to Japan, and if you don't go to see them, it will appear to be cover-up. Go ahead, I will ask An Jie to pick you up and go back to Russia in a week, and then the leader will have a job for you to pick up together."

"But go home, go home, I heard that there is an ice rink near your house, right? Remember not to miss the daily training, and if I find out that your weight is wrong again when you come back, see how I can deal with you !"

Katherina puts down her harsh words and sends Yuuri onto the tram.

"Go, go home."

Yuuri dragged his small suitcase on the tram in a daze, still a little unresponsive.

Although he fantasized about going home before returning to Japan, but in order to protect the safety of his family, Yuuri finally suppressed his longing. Unexpectedly, Katharina directly gave him the opportunity to go home, and did not even give him a chance to refuse. .

So he was really, really going home?

It wasn't until he set foot on Hasezu's land that Yuuri really realized that he was home, that he was back here alive.

The child immediately ran with the suitcase.

He is back!

He really is back!

He can go home!

Even though he hasn't been home for more than half a year, Yuuri still clearly remembers how to go home, he sniffed, and when he reached the road close to his house, he saw the familiar truck, and his mother's chubby back was Facing her, they were talking to Zhenli, and they were repeating the work they did every day, moving fresh squid out of the carriage.

In order to donate hematopoietic stem cells to him before, Zhenli deliberately put on a lot of weight, but now she has lost weight and grown a lot taller.

Yuuri sniffed and opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. After a while, he shouted hoarsely, and he didn't even know if they could hear the voice.

"Mother."

"elder sister."

The backs of Hiroko and Mari froze.

Yuuri called again: "Mom! Sister!"

This time his voice was clearer and louder.

Hiroko and Mari glanced at each other, turned their heads slowly, and saw the youngest child of their family standing behind them, with hair reaching to the ears, taller, looking much stronger, with a rosy complexion and healthy tears flowed from the eyes.

"My God, Yuuri!"

Mari rushed over first, and pressed Yuuri's shoulder, not daring to say anything: "Is it Yuuri? Are you back?"

Hiroko's eyes turned red, she turned around and shouted, "Riya! Riya! Yuuri is back! Come here, Yuuri is back!"

After finishing speaking, she also rushed towards Yuuri, and hugged her two children into her arms, sobbing and laughing: "My Yuuri is back home! That's great, you have grown up a lot, it seems So healthy..."

Zhenli also cried, and she laughed at her younger brother while crying: "What, I haven't seen you for so long, you are still a crybaby, you cry as soon as we meet, which made me cry too.

Yuuri snuggled into his mother's arms, feeling extremely at ease with his sister holding his hand tightly.

He closed his eyes: "Yes, I'm back, I'm home."

No matter how many hardships and pains he has endured outside, at this moment Yuuri feels it is worth it.
