I am still more suitable to participate in the Olympic if line

David's breakthrough in style and interpretation of classical music refreshed the referees, and their impression points rose accordingly.

He took a very high score, 96.56, which is also David's latest personal record.

When he saw the score, David covered his mouth in surprise and his eyes widened. He let out a low cry and hugged his coach tightly. Compared with David who is 1.8 meters 1.6, his coach is only [-] meters [-] , looked extremely petite beside him.

Boris glanced over there, and said to Ilya: "That's Billy Bartello in the last group of the men's singles in the 1980 Winter Olympics. He is much older than when he was playing. The years are really not forgiving. .”

Billy Bartlow was the Yan Ba ​​of the figure skating event in that Winter Olympics. He used to be a beautiful boy like a flower. Now he has been killed by the butcher's knife of time. Boris has to squint his eyes for a while before he can recognize it. up.

The old coach also participated in the 1980 Winter Olympics. He won the bronze medal in pair skating at that time, and his female partner was his wife. The two also experienced a lot of ups and downs together, including going to North America in the 90s to work as a coach to earn money to support their families. , In the late 90s, he returned to China to start a new business.

Back then, Boris switched to pairs because he failed to pass the developmental barrier. In fact, he still had a dream of singles skating in his heart, so after becoming a coach, he mainly coached singles skaters.

The experience of these aged world-class coaches is enough to publish a book.

Sergey played after David. This handsome guy who is known as the gun guy on the ice rink continued his good form in the team competition in the short program. Zhang Jue remembered that when he was warming up, he was still bleeding himself. Soak in medicine, but when it comes to the field, Brother Pao is not ambiguous at all.

At a critical moment like the Winter Olympics, athletes either have a mental breakdown, or explode, or skate too conservatively so that their performance is mediocre.

And the men's singles in the last group of this year's performance have abandoned their conservatism so far, one by one is more open-minded, and McQueen, who followed Ilya on the stage, performed even more brilliantly.

Shen Liu and Zhang Jue said: "McQueen was too nervous last time, he fell off the short program once, and he didn't even get a bronze medal in the end."

Originally, McQueen was also a twin star on the same level as Vasily in the Vancouver cycle. As a result, Vasily won the silver medal, but McQueen saw the French brother Martin take the bronze medal with a difference of 3 points. It is said that he was crying at that time .

After McQueen played the European Championship silver medalist, Ilya.

Kid Ilya has participated in the European Championships in the past two seasons, and has won bronze and silver medals. Only the gold medal has never been touched, and Hayato Teraoka, who has gold medals from four continents, often laughs at him.

Zhang Jue would always act as if he didn't exist.

According to the superstition of some ice fans, some athletes are born to be at odds with a certain sport, and Zhang Jue and Four Continents are such a pair of enemies. Fortunately, he and the Olympics are quite compatible at present.

Ever since he got sesamoiditis, Zhang Jue's feet have always hurt, but since he came to Sochi, he hasn't had any symptoms. Now that he has been closed for a dozen, he feels that he can live every day.

The runner-up of the European Championship, Ilya, wore the most expensive Costen in the game, and skating a not-so-salty result. It can’t be said that he collapsed, but he didn’t explode. The short program only lasted four weeks. It seems to be okay, but everyone can see that this person's limbs are a little stiff.

Still nervous.

In fact, as a teenager, it is understandable to be too nervous at such a critical moment. No one would blame him, but Ilya couldn't forgive himself.

Everyone is exploding, and he is the only one who is mediocre, so he will fall behind!

The teenager showed obvious unwillingness in the kiss&cry, Zhang Jue held the water bottle and took a last sip, jumped, took off the knife sheath and put on ice.

Here comes the shoveling of ten tons of coal... The complete repertoire of "Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto" is 17 minutes and 32 seconds long. If it is to be performed on the figure skating arena, it must be edited. After the start of the season, some people thought that Zhang Jue's cutting a classic piece of music into pieces was a disrespect for classical music.

And compared to the two-and-a-half-minute short program, no matter how you look at it, the four-and-a-half-minute free skating is more suitable for this song?

And when Zhang Jue held the Winter Olympics in Russia, he chose the purely Russian "La San" created by the Russian Rachmaninoff as the program track, which probably meant to cater to the Russian referees.

Anyway, since Zhang Jue announced the song selection, there have been many voices questioning him.

However, in the middle of the season, 90.00% of the ice fans and referees were convinced. In their opinion, the quality and completion of Zhang Jue's short program were very high, and it could even be said to be the best ever performed. Figure skating version of "Pull Three".

Some old ice fans can tell from an athlete's program whether he has a champion appearance, and Zhang Jue's "La San" is the most "champion appearance" program in this Winter Olympics. It is classical, elegant and unrestrained. Rigorous and emotional.

The moment the music started, Zhang Jue raised his left arm and held his palm in the air. Kosten clings to his slender arm, showing graceful body contours and muscle lines, giving people the impression of masculinity.

Then Zhang Jue began to slide.

His skating quality is actually very good. His above-average height and weight make him habitually put his body weight on the edge when skating, coupled with the flexible use of small joints and muscles such as waist and abdomen, it forms a powerful The advantages of deep edge and high sliding speed.

The smooth and powerful skating made the program pleasing to the eye from the very beginning, and the taller figure of the athletes themselves and their masculine interpretation of details and emotions made the program more authentic.

Rachmaninoff's length is astonishing due to the influence of Marfan syndrome, which also led to his creation of repertoire spanning a wider range, and his style is more free and uninhibited than other classical music. As "pure Russian classical", the unique desolation, sadness, and resistance to suffering in the Slavic body are also vividly displayed under Zhang Jue's blade.

This time Zhang Jue skated very happily, all his jumps were very precise and crisp, from take-off to landing on the ice, from entering to skating out, as well as footwork and rotation, all were perfect without mistakes, and the effect of the show was like a pound The majestic waterfall falls from a height of thousands of feet, splashing large pieces of water and deafening sound effects.

It is unimaginable that such a mature, calm, and smooth performance was performed by a 16-year-old player. In fact, most veteran players in their 20s have difficulty balancing such high difficulty, high-quality technical performance and unparalleled performance. Emotional display.

Vasily, who was on the sidelines, watched for a long time, only feeling hearty.

Yes, this is what "La San" should look like on the ice. It is the king of music, and those who are worthy of it should be the king!

At the end of the show, the audience was silent for several seconds before thunderous applause broke out. Zhang Jue, who had conquered almost everyone in the away game, bowed to the surroundings, picked up a crocodile doll and put it on the ice. Looking at him, he punched him: "You really don't think about creating a free skating length of "Pull [-]"? I really like you skating this piece."

Zhang Jue gasped: "This song is exhausting, I'm exhausted from skating the short program, so it's from the free skating?"

Let him go, shoveling ten tons of coal not only makes the pianist's hands cramp, but the ice skater's feet are also prone to cramps, right?

He also feels that he has just shoveled ten tons of coal, and he is covered in sweat. However, the materials of Costeng are relatively fragile and not easy to wash, so he can only pat them with toner to cover up the smell. Up to now, this set of Kosten Zhang Jue has not worn more than ten times, but he no longer wants to wear No.11.

It's still Ilya's happiness. His Kosten is newly made. Zhang Jue secretly swears that when he earns more money, he will change two or three sets of clothes every season in the future.

Zhang Jue's final score was amazing. He scored 102.5 points, breaking the world record!At the moment when his score came out, the whole audience exclaimed.

Zhang Jue chose orthodox classical music as his Winter Olympics program. Vasili also made this choice four years ago. Unfortunately, his interpretation of classical music has always been inferior to modern music, and he forcibly avoided what he was good at to cater to. It's natural for the referee to have trouble skating. As a result, his performance was similar to that of Ilya this year. Although he didn't collapse, he wasn't brilliant either.

Fortunately, there were not as many outstanding results in Vancouver as in Sochi, so he still won a silver medal, but Vasily was never satisfied with his results in Vancouver.

Now that he thinks about it, Sochi is his home field, and it is no longer a big problem if the music selection style does not suit the referee's taste, so let it be up to his mood.

In the end, he chose the pure music called "The Tempest", which had been completed four years ago, as his short program.

The handsome Russian brother stood on the ice wearing the ice-blue Kosten with the same color as his eyes. For a moment, it almost made people think that the elf boy who surprised countless people in the youth group and was indistinguishable from male and female had returned.

In this piece, Vasily behaves like a swordsman dancing in the wind and snow, with elegant posture and ethereal eyes. There is no pyrotechnics in his performance, with a transparent texture.

Although the title of the song is "The Tempest", the main theme of this program is cold and pure, like ice crystals in the cold wind. It is clearly an extremely emotional interpretation style, but I can't tell what Vasili showed. It's so beautiful.

Zhang Jue's "Pull Three" is smooth and powerful, while Vasily's "Storm" is clean and cool. The only similarity between the two programs is that the athletes' technical movements are perfect, and they have no mistakes. There are 4T and 4S two quadruples, and the difficulty is the highest in the audience.

When Vasili ended the show with a bow, the applause was no worse than that of Zhang Juebi.

Zhang Junbao breathed out: "Awesome, if he had had this expressiveness four years ago, he wouldn't have lost to someone who didn't even have four weeks."

Coach Lu: "Expressive ability is based on life experience. He was too young four years ago, but now he is just right, his mentality is mature, and his skills have not declined too much. He can be saved by being closed."

However, after the end of the youth group, Vasily never did a bowed spin again. Unexpectedly, after so many years, the quality of his bowed spin is so good, and the spin is like a fairy.

When Vasily equaled the scores, the atmosphere in the venue became tense. Zhang Junbao held his breath and stared at the electronic screen until the moment Vasily's score came out, he clenched his fists and clicked his tongue in his heart.

Vasily's short program score was 103.33 points, 0.83 points higher than Zhang Jue's. If nothing else, Vasily's and Zhang Jue's GOE should be similar, but Zhang Jue's performance score will be lower.

Coach Lu narrowed his eyes and turned to look at Zhang Jue.

This lagging behind is not a bad thing at all. At least the Russian referees feel that Vasily can still hold Zhang Jue through this competition. In the free skating, Zhang Jue will play in front of Vasily. The pressure will be less.

The audience was full of cheers and applause. In the same game, the world record was refreshed twice, which represented the excitement of this game. There is no ice fan who can catch up with the scene who does not love Shura's high-quality games. This game can be said to be a feast for their eyes, and the outstanding performance of the local first brother made the Russian ice fans who occupied more than half of the venue even more excited.

And in the minds of the coaching staff, they don't think this gap is too serious. Regardless of whether he wins the gold medal or not, Zhang Jue's ability can keep him on the podium. Let's get angry, what more bikes do they need.

The only worrying thing was Zhang Jue's own state of mind.

At this time, a camera fell on Zhang Jue, and the young man glanced over there, smiled, and compared his heart to the camera.

It seems that he is in a good mood.
