Return to the top of the road to champions

After a brief silence, applause rang out, and the rhythmic applause gradually swept the entire venue. At this moment, no matter whether they were black or white, young or old, they all expressed their respect for this young man from the East with fierce applause. Deepest respect for an amazing performance.

It can be called a perfect performance. The performance with the peak technical level and artistic performance infected the audience and shocked the judges. From this piece of music without borders, from Tao Wei who perfectly interpreted patriotism with body language , They saw the tenacity, enthusiasm, enthusiasm, perseverance, and unyielding in Tao Wei's heart, as if the cry from the bottom of his heart shocked everyone.

It seemed that they could give too little except warm applause. Standing up one by one, the heart-pounding applause made Ma Deming standing on the sidelines blush.There was a wordless excitement on the slightly trembling lips.

Standing up slowly, putting one hand on the abdomen, bowing gracefully without being arrogant or arrogant is Tao Wei's thanks to the audience who gave warm applause.

In this small town of Kequan at an altitude of more than 2000 meters, in this foreign land, a boy from the East whose name is hard to remember conquered nearly [-] spectators with his impeccable performance.

Slowly sliding the ice skates under his feet with a cold light, Tao Wei left the field, leaving behind a proud and upright figure, Tao Wei disappeared from everyone's sight.

Backstage and back in front of Ma Deming and Yang Guocheng, Tao Wei smiled with reddish eyes and proud and confident smile, "Coach, teacher, I'm back."

The gentle sound of peace in his ears made Ma Deming take a deep breath, but Yang Guocheng, who was so excited, had already hugged Tao Wei, and hugged Tao Wei vigorously before he staggered away to let Ma Deming's Yang Guocheng's eyes turn red because of the excitement. Quietly looking at the childish face in front of him, Ma Deming, who closed his eyes, smiled and stepped forward to hug Tao Wei, and patted Tao Wei's lean back heavily, "Good boy."

The heavy ones seem to be slapped directly on the heart, and the light ones seem to be just murmured words that have the agitation that Ma Deming can't spit out.

Hugging Ma Deming back, Tao Wei, who was still excited but breathing slowly calmed down, smiled, blinked his eyes vigorously, stepped back slightly, and pointed to his own Face, "Coach, how about it, your disciple gave you a face."

The smiling Tao Wei's self-praise like a joke made Ma Deming and Yang Guocheng laugh, and pressed the top of Tao Wei's head hard, "You bastard, let's go, the big guy is still waiting."

Rubbing the tip of his nose, the smiling Tao Wei changed his skates, put on his sportswear and left the backstage. Before leaving, the smiling faces were unfamiliar but had blessings and congratulations that could be seen at a glance. He smiled or raised his hand He signaled, or stretched out his arms with kindness and waved his hands, and walked briskly, Tao Wei returned to the team and his teammates.

"Captain, good job." The raised thumbs made Tao Wei a little ashamed, rubbed the tip of his nose and laughed, "You can do it too."

Encouragement with a smile sounded from among his teammates, and he was slightly taken aback, is that okay?Can you catch up with the captain?At the same time, the doubts sounded in the hearts of several children, and there were expectations, encouragement and uncertainty in the eyes that fell on them unconsciously. Tao Wei showed a bright smile and nodded heavily, "Of course, we are the best. We are the strongest and we are the best."

From this day on, the three "most" have become the source of motivation for the youth team to forge ahead. Every time they are tired and want to give up the boring, the unwavering trust will sound in their hearts.

After the day's game was over, Tao Wei returned to the lounge again. Lying on the bed, Tao Wei closed his eyes to rest with some sore eyes. Surprise or shock performances.

One by one, perfect or slightly flawed jumps and spins kept appearing in my mind. Tao Wei, whose fingers kept moving on the bed, frowned slightly on his closed eyes. A sense of urgency quietly rose from the bottom of Tao Wei's heart during the astonishing performances of this group of unknown teenagers.

Unlike Ma Deming and others, Tao Wei, who knows that figure skating will usher in its peak, knows very well that a standard figure in the figure skating world will appear from this year, and his appearance has promoted the figure skating career, followed by Another player in the arena brought figure skating into the era of the combination of two swords

In the past ten years, the combination of two swords, which has won all the medals in major competitions in the world, has brought the technical level and artistic performance of figure skating men's singles to an insurmountable peak.

Frowning tightly, Tao Wei sat up abruptly and came to the window. The silent Tao Wei silently looked at the snow-capped peak in the distance.

In Tao Wei's quiet eyes, the rising fighting spirit gradually emerged. In this small room, in this foreign land, Tao Wei, who was once proud, and Tao Wei, who is persistent in this life, held the cold ice with both hands. On the window sill, there was an inexplicable excitement in the shining eyes.

Miracles need to be created. Since the 16-year-old Yagudin was able to create miracles, so can Tao Wei. Tao Wei knows that if he wants to stand on the top and become the insurmountable peak, he is still far behind, but that It doesn't matter, he is Tao Wei, he is the best athlete in China, and he is also a figure skater who once stood on the top of the world.

Taking a deep breath, suppressing the fighting spirit in his heart, Tao Wei moved his body and left the room with a smile again. He first knocked on the door next door, waited for a while, and raised his eyebrows in surprise. Then he rang the other side again, but Tao Wei frowned after waiting for two times in a row. Wouldn't the two old men go out for a walk together?This idea amused himself, outsiders may not know it, but Tao Wei is very clear, maybe he is too busy during the day, as long as he has time, Ma Deming will never move his place, even if he hides in the house and squats, he will not go out.

Tao Wei, who was a little curious but didn't probe too much, went back to his room and turned on the TV to watch the replay.

At this time, Tao Wei didn't know that at this time, Ma Deming, Yang Guocheng and the team leaders and leaders who represented the country participated in the World Youth Championship gathered together.

The excited Ma Deming seemed to be unable to believe his ears, and looked at the team leader Shi Qing with a pair of shining eyes, "Director, is what you said true? Are you really going to invite Tao Wei?"

The excited loud voice trembled once, and Shi Qing, who was equally excited, didn't care about Ma Deming's doubts, but laughed and nodded vigorously, "Of course, the invitation letter will be delivered within three days at the latest. Once the invitation letter arrives, Tao Wei is about to leave."

The affirmative answer made Ma Deming feel his ears buzzing, and his hands were trembling when he grabbed Yang Guocheng. Unlike the women's team, because of Chen Xiao, the women's team already had an invitation letter as early as 92, but the men's team has not even mentioned an invitation so far. Ma Deming didn't even know what the invitation letter looked like.

But this time, Ma Deming sternly closed his eyes to block the bitterness in his eyes, and it took a long time for Ma Deming to calm down the turmoil in his heart.

At this time, Yang Guocheng was also full of excitement. The invitation letter, the Winter Olympics invitation letter is too important for their ice skating people, and Tao Wei, who is only 14 years old, actually received it. Although it was only an exhibition match, But that is the highest arena after all, and it is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for Tao Wei to showcase. Yang Guocheng believes that with Tao Wei's technical level, he will be able to perfectly reproduce today's splendor.

Outsiders may not know, or may suspect that Tao Wei's perfection today is just a short-lived reappearance, but as Tao Wei's teacher, Yang Guocheng knows very well that 33 is not difficult for Tao Wei. Even the success rate has reached 95%. As long as there are no accidents and excessive interference, Tao Wei will definitely be able to complete it [-]%.

Moreover, narrowing his eyes slightly, a meaningful flash of light flashed in Yang Guocheng's eyes. Tao Wei was not only able to complete three weeks. The probability is only 4%, but Tao Wei has done it perfectly after all.

Although he didn't say it clearly, Yang Guocheng knew that Tao Wei was aiming at the Winter Olympics four years later. Yang Guocheng didn't know what kind of shock Tao Wei would bring to the world, but his expectations arose early.

Not to mention how dumbfounded Tao Wei was when he received the news, nor how excited he was when the news came back to China. Three days later, on February 2, with the invitation letter, Ma Deming and Yang Guocheng had an accompanying interpreter Accompanied by Tao Wei and the deputy team leader, he rushed to Lillehammer, Norway.

This time, the Lillehammer Olympic Games ushered in a new era in Olympic history.Since 1994, the Olympic Games are no longer held every four years, but the Summer Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games are held alternately, that is, an Olympic year is ushered in every two years. On the plane in Lillehammer, Tao Wei, who fell asleep, tried again to adjust the chaotic schedule.

When he opened his eyes again, it was less than an hour away from the destination Lillehammer. Tao Wei rubbed his face to refresh himself and went to the bathroom to wash his face. stiff body.

Returning to the seat again, looking at the tired Yang Guocheng, Tao Wei held Yang Guocheng's hand, and the silent worry was conveyed from the palm of his hand, and Yang Guocheng smiled with his slightly pursed lips, "Tao Wei, teacher is I was so excited that I couldn't sleep, just thinking that you will be on the stage of the Olympic Games, the teacher's heart will jump up and down. After coaching for a lifetime, it is the first time to be able to attend the Olympic Games as a coach. It is worth it."

In the hoarse soft words, the indescribable pride is not concealed at all. As an athlete, Tao Wei understands this feeling. How many athletes and how many coaches can't go abroad to go to the world's highest stadium throughout their lives. Tao Wei, who didn't want to say what would happen to him, just silently held Yang Guocheng's big hand with his small hand.

Yang Guocheng understood the warmth and firmness of his palms, and Yang Guocheng, who smiled slightly, took a deep breath. Yang Guocheng believed that Tao Wei could receive the invitation today, and Tao Wei would stand on the highest podium tomorrow.

At noon on February 2, the group finally arrived at the opening Lillehammer after two connecting flights. When they found the team representing the Chinese team participating in the Winter Olympics, Tao Wei was silent.

There are a total of 27 athletes representing the country in the Winter Olympics, including 21 female athletes, while there are only a poor six male athletes, and no figure skating athletes.

However, a familiar figure still made Tao Wei smile after a short silence, and that face with a little bit of evil and a hint of rebelliousness made Tao Wei narrow his eyes with a smile, took a step forward, and stretched out his arms , "Shi Yang."

With the corners of his mouth raised, Shi Yang, who was in high spirits, also stretched out his arms to hug the tired Tao Wei, "Okay, little fox, I let you rush here."

Tao Wei laughed triumphantly at his playful ridicule, raised his eyebrows and raised his jaw while stepping back, "That's it, who am I?"

As soon as the words fell, the two people who looked at each other laughed hahahaha. When they returned to the lounge at night, they saw Shi Yang who followed into the room. The smile that had been on Tao Wei's face all day disappeared. Looking at Shi Yang who didn't hide the haze, he sat opposite Shi Yang, "Shi Yang, what happened?"

During the soft inquiry, Shi Yang, who took out a cigarette in front of Tao Wei for the first time, took a puff vigorously under Tao Wei's worried gaze, "Tao Wei, I want to go abroad."

Tao Wei was taken aback by the completely unexpected answer, stood up abruptly, looked at Shi Yang in a daze, and pressed Shi Yang's arm holding the cigarette for a while, "Why did you go abroad? What happened?"

With a trace of anger, Shi Yang smiled lowly, pulled out his arm to press out the cigarette in his hand, leaned back, huddled on the sofa, raised his head and raised his arm to block his eyes, "Tao Wei, The difference between us and developed countries is not one star and a half. I want to change coaches. I am already 25. I will not be able to participate in the next Olympic Games. This is the only chance. I want to go abroad to study hard. Bicha is there, and that’s it for me, but Xiaodong is different. Xiaodong is still young and has more talent than me. I believe that if Xiaodong has a good coach, his achievements will be limitless. It only takes two years, two years later, I will come back, and at that time, I will personally coach Hudanzi."

In the deep and slow confession, Shi Yang's unspeakable love was revealed for the first time, and he couldn't say how much he cared about it. The innocent Wan Xiaodong was like a diamond wrapped in a stubborn stone, and he used his own efforts to peel off the layer. Thick and hard calluses, the silly child does not know how to play tricks or make detours, he is just working hard to be harsh on himself, seeing Shi Yang's unspeakable distress, Wan Xiaodong is not outstanding, there is nothing wrong with it , but in speed skating, there are many more talented children than Wan Xiaodong in the youth team. Wan Xiaodong, who stumbled to the youth team, lost the halo of being in the sports team, and could only rely on his own efforts to make progress. That persistence made Shi Yang feel uncomfortable, and Wan Xiaodong, who was not thoughtful but still simple, was bullied even with Shi Yang's careful protection because of his rustic manner.

Unlike Tao Wei, who appointed a coach early on and had his own status early, it was too difficult for Wan Xiaodong, who had to start all over again, to get ahead, whether it was for Wan Xiaodong or for himself, Shi Yang had this idea for not a day or two, until he came here to participate in the Winter Olympics, and Shi Yang, who was brushed out of the preliminaries, was not really sure until then.

Tao Wei was shocked by that undisguised love. Tao Wei is not a child, so he would not misunderstand that generous love. Tao Wei moved his lips and wanted to refute and stop him, but suddenly found that Shi Yang hadn't done anything. , all the thoughts were thinking about how to plan for Wan Xiaodong, Shi Yang, and even Tao Wei didn't know how to stop or refute.

Putting down his arms and looking at the shocked Tao Wei, Shi Yang smiled lowly, self-deprecating laughter rang in his ears, calmed down, and Tao Wei, who sat down again, suppressed the shock in his heart, "Xiaodong knows ?"

He didn't say whether he was right or wrong, but Tao Wei's hoarse voice that asked again made Shi Yang chuckle, "Tao Wei, don't think me so dirty, I'm an adult, I believe you must have heard it with your intelligence , Yes, I like Xiaodong, I like it very much, but so what? Tell Hudanzi? Or tell the whole world? No, no, Tao Wei, liking is my own business, I will not step out For this step, it is enough for me to bear the world-shattering feelings alone, and I will not drag the idiot into this vortex, normal family life is what the idiot should enjoy..."

Pausing for a while, stopped Tao Wei who was about to say something, Shi Yang who got up slowly shook his head, "Tao Wei, people, if you don't like it, you must get it, and don't think I am so noble, instead of saying I don’t want to disturb, but I’m more afraid that if I break through this bottom line, I won’t be able to bring the tiger to the end. As expected, it’s better to maintain this kind of intimacy without crossing the line.”

After finishing speaking, Tao Wei was left silent, and Shi Yang left. The sound of closing the door with a bang hit Tao Wei's heart. He couldn't tell what it felt like. It wasn't that he had never seen or heard it, but he really came to him. At that time, the momentary panic still made Tao Wei flustered. Wan Xiaodong and Shi Yang couldn't understand what they were thinking. Tao Wei scratched his short hair impatiently. The quiet room made people breathless. Tao Wei, who put on his coat and left the room quickly, rushed out of the room, out of the station, and walked among the crowd. The brightly lit Lillehammer seemed to have turned into a sea of ​​joy, the crowd was full of garlands, The ubiquitous mascots and kristin figures hang all over the various small shops.

With the passage of time, the hurried pace slowly slowed down, standing in the crowd, Tao Wei's restless and flustered heart finally calmed down, silently looking at the pictures that could convey joy Smiling face, Tao Wei who wiped his face vigorously gave a wry smile, right? It's not up to him, since Shi Yang didn't want to take this step, Tao Wei could only watch, and Tao Wei believed in Shi Yang's cunning Wan Xiaodong If he really wants to do something or stop something, it is unlikely that he will stop it. Since Shi Yang has nothing to say, it is even more impossible for Tao Wei to call Wan Xiaodong.

Moreover, narrowing his eyes slightly, a gleam flashed in Tao Wei's eyes. From Shi Yang's few words, Tao Wei noticed that Shi Yang didn't want to tell Wan Xiaodong that he was going abroad. Once Wan Xiaodong found out, it would be difficult for Shi Yang to maintain such an intimate relationship. Unfortunately, in the end, Wan Xiaodong, who was as stubborn as a donkey, would not even accept Shi Yang's coaching. There was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
