Chapter 74: The Undefeated Battle - Everyone Knows that Maozi Loses Quickly

Because Yuuri is a pure and innocent child in Katharina's heart, so the short program "Prelude" she dedicated to Yuuri is also innocent and happy.

On the day of free skating, her Kosten turned into a blue-purple smoky gauze dress, the style of which was like a ballet dancer's exercise suit, perfectly outlining her graceful figure, and like a quietly burning fire. She wears a water drop-shaped jewel forehead ornament on her forehead, and gold armbands on both arms, exuding a strong exotic style.

Katharina's free skating song is "The Ride of the Valkyrie" from Wagner's opera "The Valkyrie". The name of the program is also simple and rude, which is "Invincible Battle". The name of this program also represents her determination to win the gold medal , and the absolute confidence to beat all invincible opponents in the world.

But the audience just liked the appearance of the female tsarina who was so tough and invincible, and was even convinced by her.

The theme of Katharina's two programs this year is "Fight for Love".

The female tsar calls herself a warrior, and at this moment she is willing to fight for her lover on the ice rink and win people all over the world, just to take off the highest honor and dedicate it to them.

On February 2nd, at the Ice Center in Salt Lake City, in the arena that could accommodate 22 people, Yuuri sat together with Zhu Ling and Anjie in the auditorium closest to the venue. Zhu Ling held a large bouquet of roses and sat There was a space between Anjie and Yuuri, and Anjie asked Yuuri if he wanted to drink the juice.

Yuuri nodded: "Yes!"

Then An Jie handed him the thermos cup. If it wasn't impolite to eat in this public place, he would also like to bring some food to feed this pumpkin. After all, it is really interesting to see the fragrant appearance of a child when eating Yes, like a greedy pig.

Since Katharina was first in the short program, the free skating was the last to appear, and Yuuri watched several other women's singles performances before that.

He looked at it for a while, and complained: "What's the matter with this sister? For the first jump of the double jump, it's fine to turn around early, and the second jump is obviously not enough. Did she turn halfway on the ground before jumping?" lock up?"

Zhu Ling replied from the side: "So her jumping has been downgraded. This jumping week is serious, it can only be counted as two weeks, and her jumping is not as good as yours. I really don't know how to make it to the Olympic Games."

And when little Kaya came on stage, Zhu Ling shook her head: "Her technique is very good, but her acting needs to continue to work hard."

Yuuri, on the other hand, watched the women's singles Bellman twirling with interest.

"Bearman spins with two hand knives, so fun, she's so flexible."

Generally speaking, the floating legs of players who do Bellman spins are fixed (we often see floating legs, floating feet, sliding legs, and sliding feet in documents related to explanations and figure skating techniques. It is very simple to distinguish this, no matter Whether it is jumping or spinning, the foot that is in contact with the ice surface is a skating foot, and the foot that is not in direct contact with the ice surface is a floating foot), but this contestant can lift both legs as floating legs, which shows that his flexibility is amazing.

Little Pumpkin thinks that he can do this too, so let's try it when we get back.

Zhu Ling looked at it and said to Yuuri: "Small melon, although many girls now habitually make wrong blades, and there are some who turn around early and save weeks, but you know what mothers expect of you, the current rules If you don’t grasp the right and wrong blades strictly, it doesn’t mean you won’t grasp them in the future, no matter what jumps you do in the future, you must be standard, understand?”

Yuuri nodded again and again: "I know, I will definitely do every move well!"

Just then, they heard someone call Yuuri's name.

"Yuri Katsuki?"

Yuuri and Anjie turned their heads together, and saw a man with a beer belly and a rosacea looking at them with a hopelessly damaged hairline.

Yes, this is the men’s singles gold medalist in the 80 Winter Olympics. He was the first to jump out of two triple-A on the same program. He once attracted countless ice fans with his handsome appearance, thick blond hair and the fairy Kosten made by his wife. Screaming Yakov Feltsmann.

Time is really a killing knife. Yuuri has watched Yakov's game videotape, and admires his 3A very much, but when he first saw this in real life, forgive me, Yuuri didn't realize it for a long time. Yakov who once amazed the world with his excellent appearance.

(In short, this scene has a great impact on Yuuri. The child has seen Anatoly's young appearance, seen Andrei's hairline in college in the photo, and also changed from a fairy boy to the current Yakov ...This is probably because Yuuri and Viktor are less concerned about his hairline relationship than Victor after they got together, because he knew from the beginning that Maozi would lose quickly, and Yuuri was with Viktor on the premise of knowing this , he has long been mentally prepared for his partner to be bald and fat in the future, and he doesn't care! The consciousness is absolutely leveraged!)

After Yakov introduced himself, Yuuri almost held back the words "Grandpa, are you kidding my little pumpkin", and tried to maintain a polite appearance, inviting Yakov and George behind him to sit with them beside.

From Yakov's point of view, it's because the kid looks a bit reserved. The first impression Yuuri gave him was "a little mouse who doesn't dare to jump back". He always thought that Yuuri must have a shy and timid character. , so I kindly said: "Don't be nervous, I just came to watch Cathy compete, anyway, I'm also her senior brother."

Seeing him, Zhu Ling also smiled and said hello: "Hey, Yakov, you seem to be in a good mood. I heard that George did well in the competition? Bronze medal, right?"

Yakov shook his head: "He is still far behind, and the homework to be done is piled up like a mountain."

This tone of speech is similar to when Katharina talked about Yuuri, which is a typical Josie style of coaching. Yuuri finally has a sense that this grandpa is really Yakov Feltsman, Cathy's mother's senior brother.

Then Yakov and Zhu Ling chatted a few words, and the game began.

In the first jump at the opening, Katharina challenged an unprecedented jump.

在能有一个4T便可跻身一线花滑男单之列,掌握4+3+2的连跳就可以去争金的时代,在其他男单都没有在正式赛事中成功挑战4S的现在,凯瑟琳娜的第一跳是4S!

She made it!

The first 4S completed on the field in the history of mankind appeared, and the flight, rotation, landing and sliding were all perfect. This is a 4S that cannot be more successful!

Yakov: "..."

Is my junior sister going against the sky?

The good brother suddenly remembered a sentence that coach Josie sighed to him before his death.

"Yasha, you said it would be great if your junior sister was a boy, then I would even have the confidence to train her to dance quadruple jumps."

But Yakov was quite unconvinced at the time. After all, men's singles who could jump 3A at that time were considered first-tier, so how can a girl who is still a low-speed party get such an evaluation?As a result, Jiang was still old and hot, and his teacher made a promise.

Yakov sighed, raised his head, and said to the air in a reporting tone: "Coach, she really jumped out of the four sides, and there are more than one."

George was completely numb by the side, and he muttered softly for a while, "Is this still a woman?"

Yuuri glanced at George and blinked: "Of course Coach Cathy is a woman, but she's too strong for this era."

The child clenched his fists and said happily, "She is a miracle beyond the current era!"

Yakov looked at his big and bright almond eyes, and thought that this kid is really good-looking and cute, and he knows how to protect the coach, so he looks at the coach with such adoring eyes, no wonder Cathy treats him like a child, His coach didn't hurt him for nothing.

In short, the female czar started to beat the men's singles next door in the first jump, and her second jump was 4T, followed by 4+3+2 jumps, and her iconic 3A, and 3lz+3lo jumps, and She raised one hand in all the triple jumps, which is the Tano difficult position.

The Valkyrie swayed her passionate emotions on the field, like riding a winged horse galloping in the sky. She raised her left hand as if holding a shield, and stabbed her right hand forward as if there was a spear there. In the interpretation of the Valkyrie, but the incarnation of the Valkyrie itself.

Every time the music reaches a node, she jumps out a jump that is stuck in the rhythm again, so naturally, her posture on the ice is like a warrior, making people almost forget that she is doing a skating performance, But in fact, her skating speed is extremely high, like riding the wind, and except for a Yan-style tour, she has packed a lot of transitions in her program, and her spin is so fast that afterimages can be seen.

Katharina brings everyone into her story.

When this utterly flawless performance is over, there is no doubt about the gold medalist!A standing ovation from all the audience!

Yuuri immediately jumped up, and took out a Q version doll of Katharina that was handmade by a big kid from under the seat, and patted Anjie, Anjie quickly picked up his partner and squeezed to the front row, and then the child threw it forward , the doll landed not far from Katharina.

Zhu Ling also squeezed over and threw the red rose in her arms out.

Katharina already knew where her family was sitting, and now she turned her head and saw them in the front row. She picked up the bouquet and dolls, waved to Yuuri and Zhu Ling, and blew them kisses.

Yuuri yelled, "Mama Cathy, you're awesome!"

It was rare for Zhu Ling to let go of her image and shouted to her: "I love you!"

Katharina laughed heartily and shouted to them: "Iloveyoutoo!"

She and Zhu Ling looked at each other for a long time, then blew another kiss, turned around and went to the K&C area to equalize, she didn't have a coach, this time there was only an assistant from the Russian Skating Federation to help with the coat and the knife case. Help, until the score comes out, there are even 4 6.0 points in the score column, of which the technical and artistic points are full marks! (The figure skating in 02 has not yet used the CoP system, it is still a 6.0 scoring system)

This is an unprecedented achievement in women's figure skating!

Katharina really beat the men's singles this time... After all, the men's singles champion only has one type of quadruple jump, and the same type of jump can only appear twice in the free skating, that is, once as a single jump and once in a double jump , this time the Olympic men's singles champion was only stuffed in the program for two weeks.

And Katharina performed three quadruple jumps in the free skating, not to mention the women's singles, it was unprecedentedly difficult in the men's singles, or she was not only difficult, but her physical strength was not weaker than the men's singles!

No one thought that the first 4S was actually jumped out by a women's singles, but when the women's singles was Katharina Lotriyeva, everyone took it for granted.

Therefore, it is not unreasonable that this year's women's singles is called the least suspenseful in history. The main reason is that there is no suspense in the gold medal, and the suspense is concentrated on the silver medal.

What Yuuri didn't know was that the marriage of Katharina and Zhu Ling was also a big turmoil back then, Katharina retired for love, and Zhu Ling was also the top 1 dancer in Asia, so the media paid a lot of attention to them.

And after Katharina jumped out of 4T, some media paid attention to her and her family. For example, in Japan, Yuuri, who was Katharina's disciple, had long been given the title of "figure skating prodigy". Not long after, another reporter dug up the news that Asian rock star An Jie was Zhu Ling's nephew.

Apparently, the empress' wife, wife's nephew, and her apprentice watched her performance together and cheered her on.

After a long time, Katharina and Zhu Ling looked at each other from a distance, and the scene where Yuuri was hugged by Anjie and threw a Q-version doll to Katherina also became a memory for the fans of the female tsarina, dancing god, and Anjie to recall the past Collector's Edition photo.

As for the 02 bronze medalist George in the corner of the photo, and his coach, Katharina's brother Yakov, some fans of the coach talked about it, saying that the ancient demon king Fei Dae had known the great demon king Gua Zong at that time hahaha.

After watching the game, Yakov also had something to do, so he left early, and Zhu Ling said goodbye to him in a friendly manner. At this moment, An Jie raised his hand to beckon.

"Yo, Jimmy."

George paused, he watched Jimmy approaching stiffly, and saw that he ignored him, brushed past him, trotted up to Anjie and Yuuri, and patted their shoulders to talk.

Yakov glanced at Jimmy and asked in confusion, "Bronze medal for ice dancing? Jimmy Black?"

Grinkov brought Ekaterina over, and he shook hands with Yakov: "Yup, last year Yuuri visited our club once under the introduction of Katharina, and Jimmy met at that time, long time no see, Yakov Cove, congratulations to your George on his bronze medal."

"Fortunately, he also has the ability to win gold, but his mental state is terrible. Fortunately, he adjusted the free skating the day before, but it is a pity that he supported the ice during the 4T jump."

The two world-renowned coaches chatted for a few words, but Jimmy's coach Celestino was not here, but this was because Celestino's women's singles Rosaline also participated in the next game, so at this moment he He was comforting the disciple who only got fourth by Rosalin's side.

After all, Rosalin and Katharina are also women's singles of the same generation, and she has tried her best in skating now. In addition to the injury problem, she will retire after skating and then switch to the rhythm of coaching.

George stood there silently, thinking to himself, before the free skating, he was already so panicked and nervous that he wished he could crash his head on the ice, but at that time Jimmy suddenly found him, pulled him for a pass, and then went to his There was a ring on his hand.

That's when George was surprised, and he asked, "What's this?"

Jimmy smiled at him: "Take it as a talisman for peace of mind, don't worry, it's not for you to marry me."

The young man stroked George's blond hair, and gently kissed him on the forehead: "Don't be afraid, just pretend that I am the only one in the audience, and I will take good care of you."

Then, although George helped the ice in the first jump (and Jimmy was a little sore in the back), but maybe it was because of the necklace with the ring around his neck. For the first time, he calmed down and adjusted himself quickly. The subsequent performances were perfectly completed and finally won the bronze medal.

In fact, at that time, George thought it would be nice to actually marry Jimmy.

But at this time, according to their previous agreement, Jimmy pretended to be a stranger to him, and when he passed by him like that, George felt empty in his heart.

He recognized reality again.

What George didn't know was that there was a pumpkin not far away that had undergone spatial variation and had very sharp eyesight.

Yuuri could see that something was wrong between Jimmy and George at a glance, and he whispered to Jimmy, "Hey, what's going on with you and Mr. George?"

Jimmy winked at him: "Did you see that? That's my fiance. Speaking of which, he's still your senior in Josie's school. How about it? Is he handsome? Is my vision good?"

Yuuri's eyes widened: "You're only 18, so you're getting engaged to someone else? Did you propose or he?"

"Of course I took the initiative!" Jimmy was super proud: "Anyway, he took my ring and he is mine! It's just that he hasn't retired yet, so we won't make it public for the time being."

An Jie couldn't see others being so embarrassing in front of him, so he couldn't help but lashed out: "Do you know that Xiu Enai is divided quickly? Why tell us if it's not made public? Be careful that he doesn't want you if he knows."

Jimmy immediately changed his expression: "He dared to break up, I tied him up and got married right away, believe it or not! Can my handsome comee successor be dumped? Besides, you are not outsiders, remember to keep it secret for me."

Yuuri was speechless: "Come's successor should also pay attention to the basic law when it comes to dating and marriage, okay? You say that so much that I feel sorry for Mr. George. Doesn't this mean that you don't even have the right to reject you?"

Jimmy snorted: "You don't understand, he loves me, but he's just awkward, but it's okay, I'll spend the rest of my time with him, and one day I'll let him understand that once I, Jimmy Black, get dumped for the rest of my life A person who does not take off."

On the other hand, Anjie and Yuuri vomited tacitly in their hearts - that George who was targeted by you is really unlucky, isn't this just being glued by brown sugar?

And George, who knew nothing, was still dejected.

When George won the bronze medal, the St. Petersburg Sports Center was already full of cheers. Although we may not be very close at ordinary times, we are still training partners together. The Mauro Maos all wish the senior well and look forward to his success. score.

At first, when they saw him jumping on the ice for the first time, everyone felt a little bit in their hearts, thinking that this guy is going to collapse in the future, but George actually adjusted himself back, which also made everyone very excited, thinking that this guy is the key The competition was actually quite tenable.

It is a pity that Elaine and Rostov, who are in the same sports center with them, are only seventh in the pair skating competition, which makes everyone a little disappointed.

The girls have a good relationship with Elaine, complaining: "Victor's single jumps always make mistakes in the competition, Elaine might as well dump him and practice singles skating."

Little Victor, who was shot, shouted innocently: "My jumping ability is not bad, please call him Big Victor, or add his father's name, please?"

The girls smiled at him again: "I know, I know, Viktor Andreyevich."

When Katharina started the game, the front of the TV was occupied by a group of Maoluo. Victor, Popovich and other Maotai could only watch TV on the chairs in the further back.

Bobo yelled: "Nastya, make way, I can't see it anymore!"

Na Sijia gave him a middle finger without looking back, and moved away a little.

Victor also yelled: "Anfisa, good girl, let me go."

So another Moluo moved away a little bit.

Now the boys standing on the chairs can see the screen. At this time, Katharina’s free skating has begun. Obviously, the female czar has a very high status in the hearts of young people in the figure skating world, especially the women’s singles. Everyone sees her as a role model.

As the female tsar jumped out with a 4S, a group of boys and girls immediately exclaimed.

"4S! Is that 4S? Am I right?"

"God! This is the first 4S to be completed in an official arena. She will win! Unless the referee wants to be thrown rotten eggs, this gold medal must belong to her!"

The girls were already cheering loudly: "Long live Katharina!"

"Undefeated Katharina!"

In the following matches, everyone remained excited, watching the female tsarina cleanse the program perfectly with the air of wanting to fight the men's singles next door, and she was sure to win, and the victory was sealed.

The 13-year-old Viktor was also very excited to see it, and he couldn't wait to go to the ice rink to practice quadruple jumps in the next second (Yakov: I suspect that this kid is practicing quadruple jumps behind my back, but I have no evidence).

After the show ended, the audience on TV also stood up and applauded. At this moment, everyone saw the female czar sliding in one direction after thanking the gift, and blowing kisses to the auditorium over there.

A plush doll resembling her was thrown onto the ice by a child, along with a bouquet of red roses, and Katharina happily picked it up and held it in her arms.

In the camera, she and his wife blew kisses to each other, and the furry ladies in the sports center also saw Yakov and George in the corner.

Popovich pointed to the screen and said, "Hey, that's Katharina's wife and her students, right?"

On Mauro's side, a little girl shouted jealously: "Oh, that lucky Japanese boy, what's the matter with him? Why is he being hugged? Can't he even walk? Damn it! Is it because he is so cute that Katharina accepts him?"

The 10-year-old Anfisa also called out: "That's right, isn't it cute?"

Victor didn't know what state of mind he was in, and explained: "Nastia, I think he was injured, didn't you see that his left hand is still in plaster?"

Speaking of which, it was rare for him to feel worried about an unfamiliar person.

Is that Japanese boy all right?Why are you putting plaster on it?He has been being hugged, is his leg injured?

However, this emotion lasted until the end of the awards ceremony. Katharina on TV ran to the side of the auditorium as soon as she got off the award platform, took off her gold medal and threw it over, which happened to be received by Zhu Ling.

"Put it on him!" cried Katharina.

Then Zhu Ling quickly hung the gold medal around the Japanese boy's neck. The boy on the screen was stunned. Then he blushed happily, sniffed his nose, and smiled brightly at Katharina. I know I am very happy.

Even Victor was a little jealous now.

Hey, that's an Olympic gold medal!

The author has something to say:

Vicia's talent is very high, which led to his unrecognized opponents among his peers, until he paid attention to Katharina and developed a feeling of admiration. He also began to pay attention to Katharina's apprentice Yuuri, and after watching Yuuri's game video , recognized the potential of this boy who was four years younger than himself, so his initial favorability for Yuuri was not low.

It's like Yuuri has a high initial affection value for Vicha because of the relationship between Amy and Andre, but after the official meeting, whether their relationship can heat up to the level of love depends on whether they can impress each other , but now the two little ones think they are unilaterally paying attention to the other person, so cute, isn't it~

=================

Let me explain here. Russian names must include the paternal title. For example, Victor’s father is named Andrei. Then, between Victor’s first name and surname, “Andreyevich” should be added, which means this Man is Andre's son.

And if Viktor has a child in the future, the paternal title in the middle of his son's name will be "Viktoyevich", "Viktonovich" or the like, and the paternal title of his daughter will be "Viktoevna" or "Viktonovna". ".

In short, their name culture is very interesting. Even the surnames have feminine and masculine names. For example, the surname Nikiforov is a masculine name for men. If a girl uses this surname, it is Nikiforova. This feminine title.

It is said that there is a family in Russia who thinks the name "Andrei" is very good, so the grandfather is named Andrei, the son is also named Andrei, and the grandson is also named Andrei, so this person's name is Andrei. Andrei Jevich, his father is also Andrei Andrejevich, so this is the famous Andrei Cubic~

The mutual address of Russians is also very interesting. Children call each other names or nicknames, students use first name + father name to teachers, and adults also use name + father name to colleagues, or adding father name is a kind of It means respect, but the use of first name + patriarchal title by a person with a good relationship has a sense of ridicule. If you have a good relationship, you can call them by their first name or nickname directly, and they will call each other by their surname in official occasions.

For example, if Yuuri gets to know Victor well in the future, he will call him Victor or Vikja, and when the relationship develops further, he can be called Vitenka. If he wants to be coquettish, he will shake Viktor's hand twice and say "please Come on, Viktor Andreyevich", that's fine, Viktor won't be able to stand it.

And if Yuuri wants to make fun of Viktor, he can raise his eyebrows and say "Oh~ I see, Viktor Andreyevich". Of course, this appellation is also appropriate in bed~

Russians also like to call people close to each other by nicknames, or nicknames. Take Yuuri as an example. His name Yuri is pronounced the same as Yuri in Russian names. His fellow organization partners will also call him nicknames, such as Yurik , this is one of the nicknames of the pronunciation of yuri, and the little pumpkin is the nickname. If it is called by someone who is not familiar with it, it will feel offensive.

For example, Yuri’s grandfather Nikolai called Yuri “little Urik” and “little pumpkin”, and called Yuri “Yuri” and “Jurachka”, which is a good way to distinguish the two Yuri, Yuri also calls Yuri "Yura Chika", and Yuri calls Yuri "Urik", "Brother", "Little Pumpkin", "Pork Chop Rice".

Generally speaking, Russians must have more than one nickname. As more and more people get to know and grow older, nicknames will also increase. I remember a Soviet story in the early years about a girl who wanted to go to the battlefield as a female soldier. Her grandmother was reluctant to part with her, so she said, "You are still too young, my child, let's talk about it when the name is longer", which means this.
