figure skating king

At the beginning of December 2000, Yuuri took Alexander to the fourth game [12. Don't chase me away] when he was picking up the job, and got a clue chip [4. Red Shoes].

At the end of December, Yuuri and Katherina boarded the plane back to Japan again.

This time his opponents are from all over the country, and Yuuri is ready!

Because the financial situation has become better, Zhu Ling came here with Yuuri and Katharina this time, and Zhu Ling was still idle on the plane teaching Yuuri how to draw.

Because she knew that her marriage with Katharina was attracting attention, and she didn't like excitement, Zhu Ling gave Katharina a look and asked them to enter the venue. Sure enough, she walked into the largest ice rink in Tokyo. There were several of them. The reporters gathered around, and the target was obviously Katharina next to Yuuri.

The female tsar has been retired for two years and her popularity has not diminished. Last month, she went to a commercial performance and skated "Broad Sea and Sky", which caused the audience to scream. Yuuri, as her apprentice, sat in the best seat with Zhu Ling , the ears are going to be deafened.

Katharina seems to have a lot of female fans. He also heard several girls shouting "Your Majesty, marry me". Then the next day when Katharina gave him a lesson, her legs were trembling, and she didn't do a jumping demonstration. The pure little pumpkin didn't want to know what happened.

The reporter asked Katharina the main question is why the majestic former big goose girl and women's singles legend accepted a little-known Japanese boy as a student, and claimed in the last interview that Yuuri would be her only student , and even called him "son".

How did these two people get related?

Katharina replied calmly: "I accepted him as a student, of course because he is cute."

Swipe, the reporters all looked back at Yuuri, and nodded in unison.

Well, big eyes, round face, fair skin, delicate nose and mouth, especially the neat teeth which are rare among Japanese, especially cute when he smiles, with the hairstyle that reaches the ears and brows, he looks like a little girl with delicate features girl.

Then they turned their heads again.

Then you accepted Shengsheng as a student just because he was cute?

Katharina: "Otherwise, why else? For example, his flexibility is comparable to that of a girl. I can train him in the same way as women's singles, or does he have a unique understanding of skating and artistic expression like me? Or His sense of music is so good that I am amazed, no matter which aspect is suitable for me to coach?"

She said it lightly, but it was exactly what the reporters really wanted, and everyone buried their heads in taking notes.

Shengsheng's children are flexible, gliding, and expressive, and they have an amazing sense of music.

God knows how long it has been since men's figure skating singles in Japan, where men's figure skating has declined, has seen such talent so good that world-class players praise it.

But this also makes sense, don't look at Katharina's claim that her jumping ability is comparable to the first-line men's singles of the same era, and the 3A is more stable than the first-line men's singles at that time, but she did not make her debut as a jumper at first, but by skating, Spinning and expressiveness started, and he made a name for himself in the youth group.

This is mainly because of her short stature (145-152 in the youth group, 158 after development, and 160 after retiring), and her jump height is low, so her natural jump will not be too beautiful. At that time, she could make three The cycle jump is entirely due to her high speed in the air, even if the jump is not high, but she has completed three cycles before landing on the ice.

It wasn't until entering the adult group that Katharina, under the guidance of the legendary coach Josie, worked hard to strengthen her muscles, increase her jumping distance, and further increase her speed. Finally, she also had a very impressive performance in jumping, and even achieved 3A. big killer.

According to Katharina, Yuuri's physical condition and talent (flexibility, good sense of music, great skating) are very similar to her in the youth group, so it's no wonder that she accepted this apprentice.

And Yuuri is under a lot of pressure. He works hard, but he has never been a self-confident character. The kid thinks he is just a pumpkin that can be seen everywhere. Coach Cathy praises him so much now. The end is simply unimaginable, okay...

Yuuri took out a small handkerchief and wiped his forehead, feeling that life is really hard.

After the interview was over, Yuuri stiffly went to report to the coach with the coach, and after receiving his ID card and preparing to warm up, he heard someone calling him.

"Katsuki, hey! Katsuki Yuuri."

Yuuri turned around and saw Masao Ishimura running in front of him, Yuuri immediately fell silent, and Masamura Ishimura also looked at him silently, the two children looked at each other for a while, Yuuri called out tentatively.

"Ishimura-kun?"

Ishimura finally breathed a sigh of relief: "You finally remember my name, just call me Jiangliang or Aliang, I finally didn't miss the national competition this time, you, come on! But I will never lose to you! "

The kid proudly patted Yuuri on the shoulder, turned around and ran back to the coach.

Yuuri opened his eyes wide, tilted his head, and Zhu Ling who came over pressed his shoulders: "Xiaogua, is that your friend?"

Yuuri was taken aback by the word "friend".

Of course he has friends, Yuko and Xijun are friends, Patton, Hu Lin, Bei Chuanchuan, and Anjie are also friends, but they are either Yuuri's only friends before he became a survivor, or Yuuri was together as a survivor. A comrade who has lived and died together, Amy is also his friend, but Yuuri still feels that he is the type who is not good at making friends.

He has very few normal friends, so to speak.

Ishimura-kun... No, is Shoyo-kun my friend?

Zhu Ling didn't wait for Yuuri's answer, and continued to ask, "Xiaogua, did that kid encourage you just now?"

Yuuri replied obediently: "Yes, Mr. Jiangliang told me to cheer up."

"Then when Jiang Liangjun plays the game later, Xiaogua will also cheer him on? Although we are survivors, it is better not to have too much contact with ordinary people, but we have to repay the kindness of others, just say It doesn't matter if you cheer."

Yuuri felt happy, and he nodded vigorously: "Yes!"

Zhu Ling looked at the child with infinite love in her heart.

She and Katharina can't have a baby, there is not much time left, and it is impossible to adopt a child, Yuuri is just right, he is also a survivor, gentle and sensible, strong and kind, soft and cute called "Mother Ling" "'s appearance can melt people's hearts, they are like little angels sent by heaven to them, the most suitable little angels to be their children.

He will inherit their dancing and skating, and then live a few years longer than them, and finally, they will meet again in the stars...

"Let's go, Cathy will take care of those reporters, I'll take you to warm up first."

Then Yuuri froze again.

He is really a hard-working, hard-working little boy, but warming up with Zhu Ling is too torturous.

Let me explain here that Zhu Ling, as an oriental dancing god, has also undergone an evolution process. She was born in a Liyuan family, and the artistic foundation she laid down since she was a child is as hard as a steel plate.

She first entered the Southern Dance Academy for a few years, and then under the introduction of her family, she joined the national dancer Dao Meilan, who is known as the "Peacock Princess", to study under the command of the national dancer. She also went to Vaganova Academy for exchange studies... He is well-versed in Chinese and Western cultures, proficient in many types of dances, and can sing a few words with his mouth open.

Leaving aside her dazzling past, after saying this, I just want to show that Zhu Ling's method of training Yuuri is quite Nanwu style, that is, she pays great attention to the soft opening. The warm-up movements she arranged for Yuuri are actually a Set Nanwu's unique combination of dance skills, really relying on the survivor's strong resilience to toss on the limit of a child.

(av12099056, this is the set, because it was just a warm-up, so I didn’t do the full set. Although the Nanwu School was established in a few years ago, this article treats Nanwu as being established early.)

Anyway, under Zhu Ling's guidance, Little Pumpkin skipped rope first, and started stretching when his body started to heat up. It hurts so much..."

A boy who seemed to be about 9 years old showed a painful expression: "Does that guy think he is practicing gymnastics? No, he may have a better future than figure skating if he goes to practice acrobatics..."

Ishimura immediately ranted over: "Katsuo has practiced Behrman, so of course he has to cooperate with such strict flexibility training."

The little boy shook his head: "But the most important thing in figure skating is jumping ability. No matter how flexible you are, you may not be able to win the championship."

Then Ishimura's expression became particularly unhappy.

"Hey, he dances better than you too, Nagoya egomaniac!"

The boy glanced at him: "The big idiot of Kyushu."

Last year's gold medalist Hoshino Yuji and the silver medalist Ishimura Masahiro looked at each other and turned their heads in displeasure.

On the other side, after Yuuri stretched his body, he did a few more jumps on the ground, and went through his program a little bit. His program has been changed in the past few months, adding lower waist bobs and short-term exercises Pearl turn, there are a few more connections.

Especially Yuuri's only jump with a success rate of more than 2%, which is 1A ([-]A has a [-]% success rate, but Katharina doesn't bother to arrange a round jump for his show), Katharina asked him to enter the jump , then twist and slide out.

According to Katharina, anyone can do it by just skating for a period of acceleration and accumulating energy before taking off. The jump entered by the connection is the real high-quality jump.

Yuuri: "...OK."

Although the jumps in the children's group are actually jumps with a slide to take off, there probably wouldn't be too many 2000-year-old children who could jump into the jump in 8 (Yuuri has never seen it anyway), but who is called Cathy's mother is the coach, she said everything What?

At the age of 8, she was able to practice the two-week jump with various transitions and jump out of the 3T. In the adult group, she used various transitions to enter the 3A, so that she was superior to a large number of men's singles in the same period. I'm late and the men's singles match is over", that's because she is supernatural, but now she has an expression of taking it for granted that her apprentice can do it, and Yuuri doesn't seem to be able to refute her.

2A is the most difficult jump he can do now, and it is also his most stable jump. It is not impossible to try to increase the difficulty on this basis. It's time to practice triple axels, and too early to practice jumps with too many cycles is actually not very good for young athletes.

Katharina did not ask him to perform triple jumps now, but asked him to stabilize the remaining two-week jumps and change the edge on 2F by the way.

(The F jump, that is, Philip's jump is to take off from the back of the ice, but Yuuri's inner edge is not clear enough to touch the ice, and even feels a bit like taking off with the edge. This is the wrong edge, and this is the old one that he fell when he practiced 1F It is a problem, so it is very difficult to correct it. For many athletes, changing the blade is more difficult than re-practicing jumping, and some athletes have not succeeded in changing the blade throughout their careers).

So the existing way to increase the difficulty seems to really be to practice jumping into jumps, so let’s try it. Thanks to nearly a year of training, Yuuri’s strength and physical strength have improved (in order to strengthen his own strength. In terms of escape ability, he even specially learned professional skills in sprinting, long-distance running, obstacle running, high jump, and long jump, Goutoubaosheng.jpg).

He even successfully pulled 2A during training, so now he is a bit confident, at least in the children's group, Sheng Sheng's little pumpkin is still a bit competitive~

Until the game was about to start, because of a signing problem, Yuuri was the first to play again.

Ishimura put his hands to his mouth and yelled at Yuuri, "Katsuo! Come on!"

Yuuri smiled back at him and nodded firmly.

Katharina took off her sunglasses and rubbed Yuuri's soft black hair: "Remember what I said? You are the most beautiful and brave kid here, as long as you stand on the ice rink, you are incomparably dazzling, go! Take down No.1!"

Yuuri frowned for a moment: "Didn't you say that as long as I feel like stepping on the stage of the national competition, it will be fine?"

Cathy and Zhu Ling said in unison: "It's changed now! Go!"

Together they blasted their son onto the ice rink.

Zhu Ling couldn't stop shaking her head: "What do you think is going on with this kid? Obviously he has the stance to get through the two veins of Ren and Du. I thought he was determined to win the championship."

Katharina raised her forehead helplessly: "Yeah, although I am very strict with him, but at this age, a child who can practice 2A to his level, and who can also stabilize other two-step jumps and slide and spin so well and stably can have How many? At most, Viktor in the Yakov group can be better than him in terms of jumping talent, Yuuri should be a little hard on himself, knowing that he can sweep the children's group?"

Is it plausible if you can sweep it and still not get No.1?

The couple looked at each other and smiled, turned around and waved to the other side at the same time, Hiroko and Tori squeezed through the crowd together with Mali and Minako.

Just now Zhu Ling used the excuse of avoiding the crowd to let Yuuri and Katharina enter the venue together, but it's not that she is really afraid of the noise.

The truth of the matter is that Ling's mother went to say hello to Yuuri's family.

Both Minako and Mariko were carrying banners, which were unfolding at the moment, Riya's father was still holding up the camera to shoot his son, and Hiroko's mother walked in front of Zhu Ling and Katharina.

She coughed, showing a gentle and friendly smile, and said in not fluent English: "I heard Yuuri talk about you, you are the other two mothers of that child, it's nice to see you."

The two who were recognized by Yuuri's own mother as "the other two mothers" were so happy, they changed Yuuri's attitude, each of them put their arms around Hiroko, and enthusiastically called her Hiroko Oni-san (Kan sister).

Before Yuuri knew it, his mother Hiroko practiced English hard for him, while his other two mothers learned Japanese for him.

Pity the parents of the world.

The three mothers of Yuuri Katsuki start talking about their troublesome pumpkin sons.

Li also sighed at this time: "Although the ice rink may be crowded these few days because of the start of the National Championships, there are still more people here than expected, and it is a waste of energy to squeeze in. "

Mari let out a cry: "There are also players from the youth group! There are men's singles and women's singles, and there are several opponents who seem to be Yuuri's future competitions, and there are also a few women's singles players."

She shook the banner in her hand puzzledly: "So there are so many people watching the children's competition? I thought there wouldn't be many people here."

Minako looked around and showed a mysterious smile: "No, maybe it's because there are players they are paying attention to here. After all, the one dancing on the ice rink is the only disciple of the ice queen."

Even Sugawara, who was predicted to take over the position of the Japanese men's figure skating brother, also came. Katharina's name is indeed very big, but their children are also very good.

By this time, Yuuri had already made his first jump.

Accompanied by the music of "Ashidaka Senki", the outer blade has a big word, take off!

It turns out that when many athletes jump, they turn their bodies from the beginning of the jump to ensure that they have enough turns, but Yuuri only starts to turn after he is completely in the air. This is exactly what his grandfather, the legendary coach Josie The original delayed rotation technology!

The delayed turning jump has a strong feeling of staying in the air, coupled with the rare speed, height, and distance among children's athletes, this 2A can be called beautiful and strong, until the little guy lands steadily, and the skates are drawn on the ice. With a beautiful arc, his body turned quickly, with a few graceful twists as a sliding connection.

There was an exclamation around the rink, and Yuuri got the crowd applauding on his first jump.

For a kid, he was simply brilliant!

Then Yuuri performed a butterfly jump followed by a squat spin, and after a small jump, he changed his posture to a bow spin, and then changed to a pearl spin. Here comes a round of applause.

At this time, the kid is also focused on his skating, jumping, spinning and performance. This time, he has set his own requirements in advance, not only to clean all his technical movements perfectly, but also to perform well on his own program , at this moment, he could no longer notice the movement of the outside world, and was completely immersed in his performance.

He had always had the problem of dizziness after spinning, and now he was "cured" by Zhu Ling's Hu Xuanwu. He turned at a very high speed, and counted while turning, and then picked up Qiao Huo after turning eight times. Ke, skating across half of the ice rink in a knife-lifting swallow style, after a few turns and threes, he took off and jumped out a 2lz.

His double jump was a little unstable last time, but this time he is much more stable again.

After jumping to the ground, Yuuri turned around and slid backwards, then turned three times, and then jumped up after a short slide.

2lz2S continuous jump.

He imagined himself as the boy in the story, who left his hometown after being cursed, and rode a deer named "Yake Road" to run on the long road.

It was a journey with no end in sight, Yuuri opened his eyes, stretched his hands forward, and started a step-by-step.

He has also embarked on a strange journey alone, not knowing where the road ahead is, and whether he can survive in the future. He can understand this loneliness.

Katharina stopped talking with Hiroko at this moment, staring blankly at Yuuri in the arena.

Her child really opened up the two channels of Ren and Du as Zhu Ling said. His performance has changed, and the appeal of the successive steps can already make people feel his emotions.

Then came the 2F2S jump, Yuuri successfully completed the jump again, and this time, his 2F was completely correct... When she didn't expect Yuuri to change his blade within two years, he actually succeeded in changing his blade!

This was even more shocking to Katharina than his step sequence. As the former figure skating czar, no one knows better than her what it takes to change the blade. She watched the child fall on the ice again and again, and his body was bruised , Bleeding, suffered a lot, and faced the threat of death constantly during the period.

But he did it again.

"Yuuri, you've worked really hard, beyond my imagination."

Katharina's eyes suddenly turned red, and she thought she would never have similar emotions after she was 13 years old.

At this moment, her sense of accomplishment was almost the same as when she first won the gold medal. The feeling of watching a small, slender and tender sapling grow under her care and water was incomparable at this moment. moving.

Then came 2lo, where Yuuri delayed his turn again, both the take-off and the stroke were very beautiful, perfectly surpassing his performance in training, but 2lo was Yuuri's best jump besides 2A and 2T.

Then came 2F, again there was no wrong blade, this kid really succeeded in changing the blade!

Masahiro Ishimura lay on the edge of the baffle and opened his mouth wide.

"No way... this kid has become stronger again..."

The coach is right, if I don't work hard, I'm afraid I'll be dumped by this guy until I can't even see the tail gas.

Hoshino Yuji stared at the thin and short guy who was more than a year younger than him on the field, and was also dumbfounded.

It's a lie, except that this guy didn't jump out of the triple axel, he is no worse than those in the youth group!Is he really a child younger than himself?

Another sequence of steps. In this sequence of steps, Zhu Ling matched Yuuri with dance moves such as drawing the bow and lifting both hands, in line with the request of Ashitaka, a character who is good at bows and arrows, and raised the head of the Qilin beast at the end of the story. The story of the forgiveness of the mountain god.

Even if the child didn't say a word, even a person who doesn't know figure skating, as long as he sees his performance, he can understand the story he wants to tell.

After the lift was over, he raised his head back and made a low-back bow step embracing the world. After the bow step, he jumped out of a 2lz2T jump.

Now even Zhu Ling sighed: "He grows up so fast."

Then there's another 2A, which is Yuuri's last jump.

Little Pumpkin is already panting. Asthma means that his physical strength is still weak. This is not a problem that can be changed in a year, but it will take a long time to work hard. He was very tired at the moment, but Yuuri is jumping The momentary movement made Katharina's eyes widen.

Not only does he delay his turn when performing this jump that Yuuri does best, he also holds his hands up during the jump!

A nice Ripponjump!

The audience applauded again, and Yuuri was exhausted and started the last spin completely in a state of spontaneous combustion.

Resolute, painful and beautiful Candelabra Bellman.

Until Yuuri made the closing pose, the audience applauded.

As Zhu Ling and Katharina said, Yuuri already has a technical advantage, not to mention his expressiveness has also increased after he became enlightened, and there is no doubt that he will sweep away his peers.

So in this game, the champion will not be anyone but him!

As long as he stands on the ice rink, Katsuki Yuuri is the most dazzling and beautiful kid in the audience!

The author has something to say:

This is the first time I write about a figure skating competition in detail, and I don't know if it is good or not. The author is not a professional figure skater, but just an immature figure skating audience. Let's just wait and see... Cover your face.jpg

And if the author writes the little pumpkin too well, please don't mind it. After all, the little pumpkin in this article can be said to have strong teachers, and he is super hardworking and willing to endure hardships. He even risked his life to practice arts with demons, saying that everything he has is in exchange for his life. Can't wait to come.

And this is the person who is scheduled to start the era of double kings with Lao Wei in this article. If he doesn't grow up now, how will he be side by side with Lao Wei, the figure skating god-level guy in the future?
