I'm still dancing today
Chapter 45 "1 Line 2 Lines" "1 Stream 2 [VIP]
Figure skating international competitions can be roughly divided into two categories.
One category is A-level competitions.
The World Skating Union formulates rules and is responsible for participating in and organizing global competitions, such as: Winter Olympics, World Figure Skating Championships, World Junior Figure Skating Championships, European Figure Skating Championships, Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, and World Figure Skating The Grand Prix, a total of six categories of competition, is determined to be the world's highest level of competition.
Players usually participate in the competition in the name of the country. The number of players in each country is determined according to the performance of the previous season, with a maximum of three and a minimum of one.
And this kind of players who can represent the country in the competition, no matter what the final ranking is, are usually called "first-line" athletes by insiders.
Other than that.
The rest of the games are B-level games.
For example, the country itself holds national competitions, national games, national championships, national grand prix, national championships, and so on.
And this kind of global league held in the name of the club is also classified as B level.
Usually this type of B-level competition exists to select outstanding domestic athletes, especially the "World Championships" and "Winter Olympics". It is necessary to fight in the country, and then get a place.
It is the path that most athletes must take.
But in addition to national competitions, there will also be club competitions, such as the World Figure Skating Club League that Xia Kaikai and the others participate in. The ISU will only supervise the fairness of the competition, but the gold content is relatively low, and there is no competition for international competitions. , so "first-line" athletes usually don't participate.
Since they are not "first-tier", the people who come are naturally "second-tier", even some players who are not very popular.
Needless to say, the amateur group.
In the competition of the professional group, most of the players who signed up were those who could not get a place in the domestic competition, trying to practice through club competitions, develop well and get a wild card or something, or even participate just to promote their own clubs and become The grassroots players who have achieved the most, let others step on the top like cornerstones.
Xia Kaikai and the others belong to this category.
The rest, standing at the top of the pyramid, are former "first-line players", former "World Series medalists", and even former "world champions", who were bought by wealthy clubs after retiring. The club provides resources to continue training. On the other hand, it has to fulfill the contract to represent the club in such second-rate competitions, trying to recover in another way, and trying to return to the "first-line" again.
Throughout the history of figure skating, in the past 20 years, there are not a few "second-rate" players who have returned to the World Series by relying on this method. , won the world championship medal in one fell swoop.
Xia Kaikai and the others were not in a hurry to compete for the spot.
As for the legend of climbing back from the trough, they don't have that "premise".
This time I will come to the UK to participate in the competition, purely for "training".
They know most of their faults. In order to correct these faults, they train every day. They practice a movement a hundred times or a thousand times. With a little bit of polishing, it will always be fine.
But what about those invisible places?
The most obvious one is also the biggest problem of Huaguo ice dance - in terms of the beauty of the dance, is it right to make such a change?Will foreigners recognize it?Can this difficult movement be completed in a high-pressure environment?Especially the atmosphere of the arena is different from the training. Is it possible that the part that is perfect in normal training is terrible when it comes to the arena?
They all urgently need to be confirmed through a game.
In other words, their team is too young. Even though they are all professionally born, they are half-baked in ice dancing. They don't know themselves enough, so they can only score them through more professional judges, and then adjust the whole program .
In fact, this method is very common. Even for those first-line players, there are big problems in the program at the beginning of the season. They continue to compete and adjust until the final "World Championship" with the highest gold content is the perfect program. .
In other words, it is a program that "caters to the referees of the competition".
The focus of this competition is "training".
In fact, Xia Kaikai and the others came very low-key, and even hoped to go back after the game in such a peaceful manner.
They had to "train their troops."
However, their game results are closely related to the future development of the club.
There is only "one" outstanding "pillar" in the Jinxin Club.
Xinrong's decline is linked by a thread.
Let me say a little bit first.
The club does not make money doing basic classes.
However, four or five-year-old children only spend about 500 yuan a month for four classes a week, which is extremely cheap in the consumption level of city A.And there are some children who can take a year of free lessons as long as they buy skates in the club, which is equivalent to free gifts.
The junior class of the club is about a thousand in a month.
The intermediate class goes directly to [-].
The personal trainer is only 280 for two class hours, and the club can only divide half of it in the end.
At this level, they can only barely maintain the club's balance of payments.
It is the advanced class and promotion class that really make money.
A family that intends to train their children to become talents needs to spend 2 yuan a month on figure skating for their children. Basically, one or two members like this can cover the entire basic class, so the club needs to absorb such students.
However, your club does not have an excellent coach and no visible results. Who will come to your club to skate for seniors and advance?
Just like Yan Bingbing, with him in the club, there are only senior students in men's singles and women's singles, and they can make money.
However, Yan Bingbing’s overall performance in the Olympic season was not good. In the end, he failed to enter the Olympic list and disappeared from the public for a long time. After Xia Kaikai received the club, a student in the advanced class did not receive it. Looking for coaches, the number is also less than in previous years.
The club desperately needs results.
This is one of the downsides of skate clubs.
Grades are directly linked to income, and those who can't concentrate on it just need to focus on training.
Wen Jian was under a lot of pressure for this, and almost pinned his hopes on this club league.
He made full preparations before the match, and held a small meeting before departure, mainly to report on the strength of the opponent he was investigating.
A total of [-] groups signed up for the adult group ice dance of the Bollens Figure Skating Club's sub-station.
Among them, there are two groups with strong strength. They are the signing strength factions who have retired from the first line, and they are also the favorite players to win the championship.
The champion of the "World Grand Prix Finland Division" the year before, No.3 in the overall competition, the combination of Shinichi Todo and Keiko Hatano from country R.
And No. 1 in the "World Figure Skating Champions Cup Ice Dance Competition" the year before last, the combination of Gorbachev and Agata from country E.
No.3 in an A-level competition.
And a No.1 in an A-level competition.
It can be said that the resumes of these two groups of players can be crushed by the Huaguo National Ice Dance Team.
No. [-] in the world!
"First in the world." Even though Wen Jian was trembling nervously, he was still cheering for his two team members.
He said, "Retiring means that the state is not good. How many people can really climb up from the second tier? Indulging themselves in B-level competitions will only get worse. But we are different! Just like we started from the city-level competitions, to provincial level competitions, and then to national competitions, we just put our first step on the World Figure Skating Club League.”
"Isn't this a big step?"
"But I believe that we will stand firm!"
"We will be at the highest starting point, and finally stand at the highest end point!"
"Come on everyone, the game must be won!"
Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan both pursed their lips and smiled.
Wen Jian's pre-match mobilization was good, and the success made them feel that they still had a little advantage.
……
Because the time difference between the UK and China is not too exaggerated, in order to avoid acclimatization, Xia Kaikai and the others chose to start as late as possible.
board the plane.
get off a plane.
rest for a day.
game.
Then come back.
If more generous time cannot be arranged, on the contrary, this tight schedule will make it easier for athletes to retain their status.
Xia Kaikai and his party arrived in London, England the day before the competition, and were picked up by people sent by Mu Yuan as soon as they got off the plane.
From accommodation to meals, the arrangements are well-organized and high-grade. Compared with the hotel contacted by the club itself, which is [-] kilometers away from the stadium, this super five-star hotel, which is just opposite the club, is hard to beat in terms of location and price. People refuse.
But Mu Yuan didn't show up until before the game.
Everyone takes it for granted.
Boss is very busy.
I can remember when a small club I sponsored participated in the competition, probably because of the memo set by the secretary, but even so, I should be grateful for the effort of the other party.
Wen Jian even logged on to Twitter in the hotel, and on the only social software of President Ba, he tremblingly left comments, expressing his ecstasy and gratitude, as well as his regret that President Ba could not come to watch the game.
Mu Yuan who just left the airport received this comment.
"..."
Suddenly, I felt a little silly for sitting for more than ten hours, flying half of the world, and rushing to cheer.
Or...don't show up.
Mu Yuan, who was originally booked in the opposite room, contacted the front desk of the hotel sullenly, upgraded his room, and lived on the top floor of the hotel.
After taking a shower, he stood by the window and opened his twitter again. Except for that big fat man, no one else left a message under his latest twitter. Mu Yuan did not give up and opened other twitter messages to see After a circle, he finally turned off the phone angrily.
Before going to bed, he muttered angrily in his heart, Hugo, your nephew doesn’t understand any manners, he won’t even thank me, and he hasn’t even contacted me since I’ve been away for so many days, he’s just as indifferent and ruthless as you!
At this time, Hugo or Xia Kaikai, who are "indifferent and unfeeling", are nervously preparing for tomorrow's game.
It was time for bed, and he was doing flexibility and balance training in his room.He has worked very hard, except for eating, sleeping and necessary rest, he has been training on the ice. However, until now, there are still a small number of steps and blades that have not been developed into qualified muscle memory.
This body already has some minor problems, and after the skating dance, the changing force method has to be practiced from scratch. The training time is still too short, and Xia Kaikai is very anxious to bring those things that he knows are wrong to the competition.
But just like the reason he persuaded Wen Jian, he had to come to this game.
What they need to overcome is not only his personal use of the blade, but also how many points this program is worth in the eyes of the competition judges.
Even his personal aesthetics, which Xia Kaikai firmly believes in, is a little bit lost in the unfamiliar field. He is still a little afraid that he has replaced too many dance elements into ice dance, and lacks too much "dangdang" to rush upward After the elements, it will be self-defeating.
It has been many years since I felt such a high pressure game.
Especially since this is just a small game, a B-level, second-rate player's game.
In the next room, Zhou Yueshan was also working hard.
Even Wen Jian bit his pen and repeatedly watched the videos of their training during this period, trying to find some bigger problems that could be corrected before the game.
The nervous three went to bed half an hour later than usual, but got up earlier the next day.
Fortunately, the quality of sleep is barely enough to survive.
Xia Kaikai washed up quickly, then went out and knocked on the door of Zhou Yueshan's room. Zhou Yueshan opened the door and was already fully dressed.
"Did you sleep well?"
"good."
"Me too."
The two talked easily, neither wanting to put pressure on the other.
Together they went downstairs for morning exercises.
The last countdown time before the game is precious every minute. The physical training is not at this time, but the tacit understanding training can be practiced as much as possible.
The two of them practiced for less than an hour, and they were sweating a little, but they were much more energetic.
such.
Almost ready to race.
During breakfast, they saw Wen Jian.
Wen Jian smiled when he saw people, and said, "Have you slept well?"
"It's okay," said the two.
Wen Jian smiled: "Me too."
Liar!
Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan looked at the dark circles under Fatty Bai's eyes, and kindly did not expose him.
After breakfast, you can set off.
The third day of the Bollens Club race has been held.
Two days ago, the amateur group competition was over.
Both Wen Jian and Xia Kaikai intend to let the club's amateur players participate in this kind of competition, but not this time. It will be more appropriate to make such an arrangement after the club's operations mature next year or the year after Xia Kaikai and the others have achieved results. .
The ice dancing competition is today.
In the morning is the short program competition.
In the evening there is free skating.
The ice dance competition has left Asia, where it is more popular than pair skating, especially in some countries where there are no outstanding men's and women's singles players, the audience of ice dance is even higher than the popularity of singles.
In the UK, a TV station bought the broadcasting rights of the club league, so the evening peak hours were reserved for ice dancing and men's singles.
The men's singles broadcast is of course because British men's singles players have always performed well. There are British players in the previous four kings and the current four kings. Under the influence of stars, the British prefer men's singles. There are ratings.
As for ice dance, it is because Europeans and Americans believe that this project is the most enjoyable and has a large audience base.
therefore.
Today one day.
Xia Kaikai and the others will participate in two competitions, and they will finish skating in one go.
"It's so close."
"Thank you, Mr. Raymond."
"I thanked you on Twitter, and I will thank you again when I meet, but I guess the possibility of meeting is unlikely, Mr. Raymond should be very busy."
While speaking, the three of them had already walked into the Bollens club.
This club has only one skating rink, just like many arenas of major competitions, it has seats for spectators, if you add the grandstand on the second floor, it is no problem to accommodate [-] people to watch the game.
In fact, not far away, there is a national ice skating stadium, which can accommodate 3000 people to watch the game.But this is the club's league, and it is a tradition that games must be held in the club first.
The game has not started yet, all the players who have a game this morning are ready to go on the ice to get familiar with the venue.
A pair, a pair of ice dancers.
The ice players have a wide range of ages. The youngest child is only about ten years old, and the oldest group is almost 40 years old.
The combination that is still skating at the age of 40 must have won a good ranking in the A-level competition, and the state has remained good these years, otherwise the club that puts interests first will definitely not renew the contract, or even arrange to participate in the competition.
The ten-year-old foreign cute baby slides basic steps, and even performs a lifting action. When the little girl's beautiful skirt is flying up, the little boy's face is serious and looks quite cute.
There are more relatives in the auditorium. Generally speaking, there are more staff than the audience, but there are some media figures.
Looking up, there are three screens on the five-square screen above the head that are responsible for displaying the score. It is a small score template. During the game, the score on the screen will change at any time as the players make various actions. The scoring method can basically get your own score within 1 minute after the game, and the game rhythm is very fast.
The other two screens are the live video of the contestants. They are now fixed in one place. From the top view, people are running around on the ice like ants.
Generally speaking, although it is a club-level league, the hardware facilities are very professional, and you can feel the atmosphere of the game as soon as you stand here.
The competition gave the contestants half an hour to warm up.
The three of Xia Kaikai did not dare to underestimate any group of players participating in the adult competition. They lacked competition experience, lacked knowledge of themselves, and had limited knowledge of their opponents.
However, players who often participate in club competitions have a basic assessment of the strength of each player, and even know what level of players the opponent club has signed this year.The competition is not just between players, it is actually the clubs they sign that really benefit.
As the name suggests, this type of competition exists to promote the club's name.
Player's ranking = popularity.
Popularity = value.
Value = money.
In the face of money, rules are just constraints, not laws, which will lead to some private things, which Wen Jian and Zhou Yueshan don't know about, and Xia Kaikai knows about them but doesn't want to say them out.
The players in the arena have become the existence of media commentary, because they lack certain constraints and are even affected by the competition between clubs, and the focus of these media is also very different.
"Isn't that Gorbachev and the others? I'm not young, so it's a bit difficult to lift Torta up, and I don't know if they still have such a tacit understanding in bed."
"I saw Hatano Keiko, oh my god, she is better developed than the director's secretary. I heard that if it wasn't for her out-of-control growth, their retirement period would have been extended."
"Who are those Asians? Does anyone know?"
"Are you bored? Watching people who don't matter waste your time? Turn the camera on Gorbachev and Keiko Hatano."
The media reporters who had arrived in the stands discussed like this. The focal length of the lens did not have a single frame on Xia Kaikai and their figures. The lens continued to push to the limit, and even stayed on Keiko Hatano's proud "career line" for a long time.
Keiko Hatano's club is trying to attract more students with the selling point of "children's big breasts". Pushed to the club's popular superstar throne.
But in a place invisible to the camera, Xia Kaikai was lifting Zhou Yueshan from behind. The two moved cleanly and smoothly, especially when Zhou Yueshan stepped on Xia Kaikai's leg and made a lifting appearance. The two people looked at each other. The tension burst out with a bang, full of momentum.
When Zhou Yueshan fell off Xia Kaikai's body and the two of them slid out of the short program to perform the prescribed pattern dance, they still maintained sufficient concentration and synchronization even on the ice surface with people coming and going.
Moreover, the two not only require the synchronization of the competition level, but also the arc of the blade on the ice and the angle of the body's inclination are very subtle, maintaining the edge of losing control, elegant and agile, making people look away once they fall on it. No, it's already part of the technique.
Torta, who was also doing simultaneous exercises not far away, said to Gorbachev: "Which club is that?"
Naturally, Gorbachev didn't know the answer. He turned his head to look at the pair of Asians, his eyes full of curiosity.
And the country R pair actually talked about another pair of Asian players at the same time.
Keiko Hatano said: "I didn't expect to see the Asian teams."
Dongtang Shinichi said: "There are some Hua people who participate in the men's singles and women's singles competitions every year, but ice dancing is indeed the first time."
Keiko Hatano asked: "How do you pronounce the name of the club?"
Dongtang Shenyi said: "Jin... Xin... Club. It looks familiar, I seem to have seen it before."
Among them, there is also a media reporter from country R, who originally came to shoot news materials about Keiko Hatano and Shinichi Todo's development in the club after retiring. He even made an appointment for their post-match interview. Just aim at them.
But I don't know when it started, but the camera has been deflected to an unknown direction.
It was a pair of Asian players. It was difficult to tell which club they were from without a match card. The reporter didn't know why his eyes were blocked when he didn't know their age or where they came from. The opponent locks.
Just like in the crowd, only this pair glowed faintly, which was very beautiful.
The focus of the lens was unconsciously focused on the pair of players. When he came back to his senses, he didn't know how long it had passed. He picked up the camera and clicked the playback button. He wanted to delete this scene, but he happened to see two people skating. After taking a set of consecutive steps, he entered into a four-level lifting action... The camera shot is very clear, the angle is simply perfect, like a specially posed shot, and even the expression is particularly in place, which makes people suddenly Give birth to a feeling of reluctance.
In the end, the reporter from Country R moved his hand away from the screen and gave up deleting it.But work still needs to be done. He turned his eyes away and turned his attention to a pair of players from his own country. However, although the camera was aimed at him, his gaze still drifted away from time to time...
At this moment, a voice came from the club's radio, and a friendly female voice said in English: "The competition is about to begin, please contestants go to the referee's stand to draw lots..."
The crowd rushed out like running water.
Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan are like two inconspicuous little fish, sliding in one direction with the crowd...
……
Xia Kaikai drew a number and came back, and the No.11 group played.
In this sub-station, there are only [-] groups of ice dancers from the adult professional group to sign up for the competition. The strong athletes will leave the theater by default to avoid entering the "fight" before the finals.
However, the players ranked first or second in each sub-station basically represent the highest level of the league. Although the total number of players is small, it is not easy to beat them to win the finals.
Gorbachev and Torta, who had received much attention before the game, drew lots to play in the sixth group.
The most popular combination of Keiko Hatano and Shinichi Todo is in the tenth group.
If we say that this is the free skating and the finals, Xia Kaikai's eleventh group is pretty good.
The further back you go on stage, the more you can make adjustments based on your opponent's strength. At least men's singles, women's singles, and pair skating will all make some strategic adjustments before going on stage. Although the impact of ice dancing is not very great, it will be fine if you can play late. better.
But at this time they are performing a short program.
Under the premise that everyone needs to slide out the same prescribed pattern dance and tango dance, in fact, the further back the more unfavorable, the referee may be aesthetically fatigued, and the repetition in the selection of songs will increase the pressure to appear later.
Xia Kaikai put the lottery in Zhou Yueshan's hand and shrugged.
Zhou Yueshan didn't care about the playing time, she squeezed the lottery in her hand and nodded: "Let's go, just leave us more time for preparation."
Wen Jian was a few steps behind, worried about gains and losses, and the dark circles under his eyes made him look haggard, but once Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan looked at him, he would always show a spirited and confident smile.
The first competition was the Youth Group B of the ice dance event. There were only seven groups of contestants in total. Including the scoring time, the competition was over in less than half an hour.Then there is the junior group A and the youth group competition.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the competition for the adult group finally started.
During this period, Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan changed into competition uniforms and covered them under the thick down jackets to block them tightly.
Then Zhou Yueshan found a place to sit down and put on makeup, with a dignified expression, smearing color on her face stroke by stroke, like a kind of instrument, exuding a sense of sacredness, and she herself was in this process, Organized his status again.
After putting on the last lipstick, Zhou Yueshan finally looked away from the mirror, and then saw Xia Kaikai who was sitting beside her and looking at her curiously.
Xia Kaikai tidied up her hair, combing it back high, revealing a smooth and bright forehead, especially the eyes under a pair of thick black eyebrows, against the backdrop of this mature hairstyle, there is a kind of compelling sharpness.
The thick coat he was wearing was half open, and a smear of red could be seen from the collar. The large rolled lace protruded from the edge of the down jacket like a blooming flower pod, looming more and more alluring.
Zhou Yueshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Have you put on makeup?"
Xia Kaikai shook his head.
Zhou Yueshan said, "It must have been powdered."
"No."
Zhou Yueshan said: "That's thrush."
"Not really."
Zhou Yueshan said angrily, "Impossible! Change your hair if you brush your hair up, you're bluffing me! Let me see, are you secretly putting on eyeliner?"
"..."
Zhou Yueshan pulled Xia Kaikai's eyes and looked hard, but she couldn't find any trace of eyeliner, so she had to say discouragedly: "Your eyelashes are very thick."
Xia Kaikai rubbed his eyes and smiled.
These eyes are the place where he feels the most different from his former self after his rebirth.Single eyelid, narrow and long eyes, looks fierce and not easy to mess with, but because there are many eyelashes, and the color is thick and black, especially when he looks in the mirror after washing his face, the wet eyelashes seem to be painted on the circle of the eyes Eyeliner, there is a kind of inexplicable evil, just like the devil in western legends, in short, it is very unscrupulous.
was talking.
The adult competition begins.
Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan's attention shifted instantly.
Finally, it's time for the adult competition.
personally.
look.
What is the level of the senior league.
This is a pair of senior contestants from Canada. Even with heavy makeup on, the age of the two over 30 years old still cannot be concealed.
Moreover, there are differences between Eastern and Western races. Once Westerners get old, they get old too quickly.
The music is ringing.
They skated the tango of "Summer Sleep".
The posture is not bad, and the tango dance music is more suitable for players of this age group to play. You can see the deep, depressed and ambiguous mutual seduction in their gestures.
But other than that, the standard is very average.The two people's bodies were stiff, lacked coordination, and their blades were chaotic. Needless to say, their synchronization, even the prescribed patterns slipped in several wrong places.The only thing that can be seen is the lifting part. It should be practiced seriously. The lifting part is clean and neat. When the female partner landed, there was obvious skating. At this level... it is about the same as Cuan Yiyi and the others.
of course.
Individuals cannot represent the overall level of the competition, but under the premise that there are former world champions participating, it is indeed a bit unexpected that the level gap between the players is so large.
"Hmm..." Wen Jian bit his lower lip and chuckled.
It would be great if the strength of the players was like this, and the pressure would be relieved by half, right?Feel like I'm about to fly to the top and have a bright future, don't you?
Even Xia Kaikai felt a little more at ease.
Then he felt that it was a bit funny for him to be so nervous recently, as if he was covering up, he looked around.
To be honest, the ice dancing short program competition is really nothing to watch.
The graphics are the same, and the track style is similar. There is not much room for the players to play freely. It is no wonder that the audience does not like to watch it.
The [-] seats were not filled, and all the people who came were family members of the contestants, and there was hardly a single spectator from outside.
Oh, no, there are foreign audiences.
Xia Kaikai accurately caught Mu Yuan's figure behind the crowd.
In order to confirm whether it was him, Xia Kaikai even stood up from his seat and looked back.
There is no doubt that his eyes meet the emerald green lake-like eyes.
Then, under Xia Kaikai's gaze, Mu Yuan looked at him indifferently, not as if he came to watch their match, but as if he came to seek revenge and witness their failure with his own eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Wen Jian asked.
"Mr...Mr. Raymond is here."
"What!?" Wen Jian jumped up from his seat in fright, and turned his head to search in surprise.
Xia Kaikai raised his eyebrows slightly, waved to Mu Yuan, and said silently, "Mr. Raymond, come and sit in front."
Mu Yuan nodded politely, but remained motionless.
Wen Jian was so excited that he ran over directly, and after some talking, he invited the sponsor's father to the front.
After a while of delay, the fifth group of contestants had already finished the competition.
The champion players of this sub-station, the E-country team, has already entered the ice.
There was applause in the arena.
It's hard to come by.
Until now, the attitude of the audience has been very indifferent. At the beginning there was some applause, but gradually they got busy with their own affairs, chatting with family members if they were with them, and playing with their mobile phones when they were bored.
He deliberately stopped talking and put down his cell phone, obviously because the players from country E are really famous, so big that everyone naturally pays attention to them.
"Oh, the fun game is finally about to start."
"They won No.2 in the finals when they retired last year."
"This year the club has signed a lot of new men's singles players. The ice dance has not changed much. If they maintain a good state this year, they may be able to reach No. 1."
"Stop chatting, you can see world champion players competing in such an arena, take a serious look."
"You said, can they still slide back to the A-level arena?"
"You've seen the performance this year, don't you know?"
Gorbachev took Torta's hand and slid twice to the applause, then stood still in the middle of the ice.
Take a deep breath.
look at each other.
A flame gradually appeared in the eyes.
No athlete wants to retire when he is capable enough. There are always many reasons for retiring, but deep down, he is always disdainful and unwilling. Such a second-rate game.
They also want to return to the first-line arena.
Bloom your brilliance to the fullest.
Even if you may not be able to get the ranking.
Even if the gap has been widened.
But still eager to accept the baptism of applause.
Not like at this moment.
The sparse applause not only didn't help them at all, it was even scattered like a mockery.
He obviously won the number one in the world, but he appeared in this kind of arena.
What a shame!
The two looked at each other, their aura rose little by little, and the fire of hope in their bodies was not extinguished. This was a tango that burned oneself in adversity.
The music is ringing.
"Night Seductive".
Gorbachev and Torta are a couple.
If the husband and wife file is really better than the "roommate group" or "girlfriend group", it's not true.But in some lingering actions, they will indeed be a little more presumptuous.
For example, the tango music of "Night Sultry", the sound of the music is like silk and bamboo, and the music is always lingering in the low range, mellow and ambiguous. The big bed in the room, smooth satin, and flying veils.
This kind of extremely hot, sexually suggestive music, first of all, the combination of "roommates" and "girlfriends" will avoid selection, unlike this kind of "husband and wife file", sliding, rubbing, teasing, sexy waist and hips The twisting, dancing to the climax part can also be lip-to-mouth.
The "husband and wife file" provoked love on the ice, which was really hot and presumptuous.
No embarrassment.
This is their advantage.
And after all, he is a player at the world champion level. Even if he retires, he has a very high performance in stage art. He is simply not in the same world as the previous players. When dancing, his limbs are very coordinated. Total drama.
Then the music came together again, the man showed a handsome smile on his face, while the woman opened her mouth generously to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, hearty, big smile, bright eyes and white teeth, even the smile has been professionally trained, with a full international style .
"Crack!" Applause sounded.
The audience is absolutely spontaneous
One category is A-level competitions.
The World Skating Union formulates rules and is responsible for participating in and organizing global competitions, such as: Winter Olympics, World Figure Skating Championships, World Junior Figure Skating Championships, European Figure Skating Championships, Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, and World Figure Skating The Grand Prix, a total of six categories of competition, is determined to be the world's highest level of competition.
Players usually participate in the competition in the name of the country. The number of players in each country is determined according to the performance of the previous season, with a maximum of three and a minimum of one.
And this kind of players who can represent the country in the competition, no matter what the final ranking is, are usually called "first-line" athletes by insiders.
Other than that.
The rest of the games are B-level games.
For example, the country itself holds national competitions, national games, national championships, national grand prix, national championships, and so on.
And this kind of global league held in the name of the club is also classified as B level.
Usually this type of B-level competition exists to select outstanding domestic athletes, especially the "World Championships" and "Winter Olympics". It is necessary to fight in the country, and then get a place.
It is the path that most athletes must take.
But in addition to national competitions, there will also be club competitions, such as the World Figure Skating Club League that Xia Kaikai and the others participate in. The ISU will only supervise the fairness of the competition, but the gold content is relatively low, and there is no competition for international competitions. , so "first-line" athletes usually don't participate.
Since they are not "first-tier", the people who come are naturally "second-tier", even some players who are not very popular.
Needless to say, the amateur group.
In the competition of the professional group, most of the players who signed up were those who could not get a place in the domestic competition, trying to practice through club competitions, develop well and get a wild card or something, or even participate just to promote their own clubs and become The grassroots players who have achieved the most, let others step on the top like cornerstones.
Xia Kaikai and the others belong to this category.
The rest, standing at the top of the pyramid, are former "first-line players", former "World Series medalists", and even former "world champions", who were bought by wealthy clubs after retiring. The club provides resources to continue training. On the other hand, it has to fulfill the contract to represent the club in such second-rate competitions, trying to recover in another way, and trying to return to the "first-line" again.
Throughout the history of figure skating, in the past 20 years, there are not a few "second-rate" players who have returned to the World Series by relying on this method. , won the world championship medal in one fell swoop.
Xia Kaikai and the others were not in a hurry to compete for the spot.
As for the legend of climbing back from the trough, they don't have that "premise".
This time I will come to the UK to participate in the competition, purely for "training".
They know most of their faults. In order to correct these faults, they train every day. They practice a movement a hundred times or a thousand times. With a little bit of polishing, it will always be fine.
But what about those invisible places?
The most obvious one is also the biggest problem of Huaguo ice dance - in terms of the beauty of the dance, is it right to make such a change?Will foreigners recognize it?Can this difficult movement be completed in a high-pressure environment?Especially the atmosphere of the arena is different from the training. Is it possible that the part that is perfect in normal training is terrible when it comes to the arena?
They all urgently need to be confirmed through a game.
In other words, their team is too young. Even though they are all professionally born, they are half-baked in ice dancing. They don't know themselves enough, so they can only score them through more professional judges, and then adjust the whole program .
In fact, this method is very common. Even for those first-line players, there are big problems in the program at the beginning of the season. They continue to compete and adjust until the final "World Championship" with the highest gold content is the perfect program. .
In other words, it is a program that "caters to the referees of the competition".
The focus of this competition is "training".
In fact, Xia Kaikai and the others came very low-key, and even hoped to go back after the game in such a peaceful manner.
They had to "train their troops."
However, their game results are closely related to the future development of the club.
There is only "one" outstanding "pillar" in the Jinxin Club.
Xinrong's decline is linked by a thread.
Let me say a little bit first.
The club does not make money doing basic classes.
However, four or five-year-old children only spend about 500 yuan a month for four classes a week, which is extremely cheap in the consumption level of city A.And there are some children who can take a year of free lessons as long as they buy skates in the club, which is equivalent to free gifts.
The junior class of the club is about a thousand in a month.
The intermediate class goes directly to [-].
The personal trainer is only 280 for two class hours, and the club can only divide half of it in the end.
At this level, they can only barely maintain the club's balance of payments.
It is the advanced class and promotion class that really make money.
A family that intends to train their children to become talents needs to spend 2 yuan a month on figure skating for their children. Basically, one or two members like this can cover the entire basic class, so the club needs to absorb such students.
However, your club does not have an excellent coach and no visible results. Who will come to your club to skate for seniors and advance?
Just like Yan Bingbing, with him in the club, there are only senior students in men's singles and women's singles, and they can make money.
However, Yan Bingbing’s overall performance in the Olympic season was not good. In the end, he failed to enter the Olympic list and disappeared from the public for a long time. After Xia Kaikai received the club, a student in the advanced class did not receive it. Looking for coaches, the number is also less than in previous years.
The club desperately needs results.
This is one of the downsides of skate clubs.
Grades are directly linked to income, and those who can't concentrate on it just need to focus on training.
Wen Jian was under a lot of pressure for this, and almost pinned his hopes on this club league.
He made full preparations before the match, and held a small meeting before departure, mainly to report on the strength of the opponent he was investigating.
A total of [-] groups signed up for the adult group ice dance of the Bollens Figure Skating Club's sub-station.
Among them, there are two groups with strong strength. They are the signing strength factions who have retired from the first line, and they are also the favorite players to win the championship.
The champion of the "World Grand Prix Finland Division" the year before, No.3 in the overall competition, the combination of Shinichi Todo and Keiko Hatano from country R.
And No. 1 in the "World Figure Skating Champions Cup Ice Dance Competition" the year before last, the combination of Gorbachev and Agata from country E.
No.3 in an A-level competition.
And a No.1 in an A-level competition.
It can be said that the resumes of these two groups of players can be crushed by the Huaguo National Ice Dance Team.
No. [-] in the world!
"First in the world." Even though Wen Jian was trembling nervously, he was still cheering for his two team members.
He said, "Retiring means that the state is not good. How many people can really climb up from the second tier? Indulging themselves in B-level competitions will only get worse. But we are different! Just like we started from the city-level competitions, to provincial level competitions, and then to national competitions, we just put our first step on the World Figure Skating Club League.”
"Isn't this a big step?"
"But I believe that we will stand firm!"
"We will be at the highest starting point, and finally stand at the highest end point!"
"Come on everyone, the game must be won!"
Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan both pursed their lips and smiled.
Wen Jian's pre-match mobilization was good, and the success made them feel that they still had a little advantage.
……
Because the time difference between the UK and China is not too exaggerated, in order to avoid acclimatization, Xia Kaikai and the others chose to start as late as possible.
board the plane.
get off a plane.
rest for a day.
game.
Then come back.
If more generous time cannot be arranged, on the contrary, this tight schedule will make it easier for athletes to retain their status.
Xia Kaikai and his party arrived in London, England the day before the competition, and were picked up by people sent by Mu Yuan as soon as they got off the plane.
From accommodation to meals, the arrangements are well-organized and high-grade. Compared with the hotel contacted by the club itself, which is [-] kilometers away from the stadium, this super five-star hotel, which is just opposite the club, is hard to beat in terms of location and price. People refuse.
But Mu Yuan didn't show up until before the game.
Everyone takes it for granted.
Boss is very busy.
I can remember when a small club I sponsored participated in the competition, probably because of the memo set by the secretary, but even so, I should be grateful for the effort of the other party.
Wen Jian even logged on to Twitter in the hotel, and on the only social software of President Ba, he tremblingly left comments, expressing his ecstasy and gratitude, as well as his regret that President Ba could not come to watch the game.
Mu Yuan who just left the airport received this comment.
"..."
Suddenly, I felt a little silly for sitting for more than ten hours, flying half of the world, and rushing to cheer.
Or...don't show up.
Mu Yuan, who was originally booked in the opposite room, contacted the front desk of the hotel sullenly, upgraded his room, and lived on the top floor of the hotel.
After taking a shower, he stood by the window and opened his twitter again. Except for that big fat man, no one else left a message under his latest twitter. Mu Yuan did not give up and opened other twitter messages to see After a circle, he finally turned off the phone angrily.
Before going to bed, he muttered angrily in his heart, Hugo, your nephew doesn’t understand any manners, he won’t even thank me, and he hasn’t even contacted me since I’ve been away for so many days, he’s just as indifferent and ruthless as you!
At this time, Hugo or Xia Kaikai, who are "indifferent and unfeeling", are nervously preparing for tomorrow's game.
It was time for bed, and he was doing flexibility and balance training in his room.He has worked very hard, except for eating, sleeping and necessary rest, he has been training on the ice. However, until now, there are still a small number of steps and blades that have not been developed into qualified muscle memory.
This body already has some minor problems, and after the skating dance, the changing force method has to be practiced from scratch. The training time is still too short, and Xia Kaikai is very anxious to bring those things that he knows are wrong to the competition.
But just like the reason he persuaded Wen Jian, he had to come to this game.
What they need to overcome is not only his personal use of the blade, but also how many points this program is worth in the eyes of the competition judges.
Even his personal aesthetics, which Xia Kaikai firmly believes in, is a little bit lost in the unfamiliar field. He is still a little afraid that he has replaced too many dance elements into ice dance, and lacks too much "dangdang" to rush upward After the elements, it will be self-defeating.
It has been many years since I felt such a high pressure game.
Especially since this is just a small game, a B-level, second-rate player's game.
In the next room, Zhou Yueshan was also working hard.
Even Wen Jian bit his pen and repeatedly watched the videos of their training during this period, trying to find some bigger problems that could be corrected before the game.
The nervous three went to bed half an hour later than usual, but got up earlier the next day.
Fortunately, the quality of sleep is barely enough to survive.
Xia Kaikai washed up quickly, then went out and knocked on the door of Zhou Yueshan's room. Zhou Yueshan opened the door and was already fully dressed.
"Did you sleep well?"
"good."
"Me too."
The two talked easily, neither wanting to put pressure on the other.
Together they went downstairs for morning exercises.
The last countdown time before the game is precious every minute. The physical training is not at this time, but the tacit understanding training can be practiced as much as possible.
The two of them practiced for less than an hour, and they were sweating a little, but they were much more energetic.
such.
Almost ready to race.
During breakfast, they saw Wen Jian.
Wen Jian smiled when he saw people, and said, "Have you slept well?"
"It's okay," said the two.
Wen Jian smiled: "Me too."
Liar!
Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan looked at the dark circles under Fatty Bai's eyes, and kindly did not expose him.
After breakfast, you can set off.
The third day of the Bollens Club race has been held.
Two days ago, the amateur group competition was over.
Both Wen Jian and Xia Kaikai intend to let the club's amateur players participate in this kind of competition, but not this time. It will be more appropriate to make such an arrangement after the club's operations mature next year or the year after Xia Kaikai and the others have achieved results. .
The ice dancing competition is today.
In the morning is the short program competition.
In the evening there is free skating.
The ice dance competition has left Asia, where it is more popular than pair skating, especially in some countries where there are no outstanding men's and women's singles players, the audience of ice dance is even higher than the popularity of singles.
In the UK, a TV station bought the broadcasting rights of the club league, so the evening peak hours were reserved for ice dancing and men's singles.
The men's singles broadcast is of course because British men's singles players have always performed well. There are British players in the previous four kings and the current four kings. Under the influence of stars, the British prefer men's singles. There are ratings.
As for ice dance, it is because Europeans and Americans believe that this project is the most enjoyable and has a large audience base.
therefore.
Today one day.
Xia Kaikai and the others will participate in two competitions, and they will finish skating in one go.
"It's so close."
"Thank you, Mr. Raymond."
"I thanked you on Twitter, and I will thank you again when I meet, but I guess the possibility of meeting is unlikely, Mr. Raymond should be very busy."
While speaking, the three of them had already walked into the Bollens club.
This club has only one skating rink, just like many arenas of major competitions, it has seats for spectators, if you add the grandstand on the second floor, it is no problem to accommodate [-] people to watch the game.
In fact, not far away, there is a national ice skating stadium, which can accommodate 3000 people to watch the game.But this is the club's league, and it is a tradition that games must be held in the club first.
The game has not started yet, all the players who have a game this morning are ready to go on the ice to get familiar with the venue.
A pair, a pair of ice dancers.
The ice players have a wide range of ages. The youngest child is only about ten years old, and the oldest group is almost 40 years old.
The combination that is still skating at the age of 40 must have won a good ranking in the A-level competition, and the state has remained good these years, otherwise the club that puts interests first will definitely not renew the contract, or even arrange to participate in the competition.
The ten-year-old foreign cute baby slides basic steps, and even performs a lifting action. When the little girl's beautiful skirt is flying up, the little boy's face is serious and looks quite cute.
There are more relatives in the auditorium. Generally speaking, there are more staff than the audience, but there are some media figures.
Looking up, there are three screens on the five-square screen above the head that are responsible for displaying the score. It is a small score template. During the game, the score on the screen will change at any time as the players make various actions. The scoring method can basically get your own score within 1 minute after the game, and the game rhythm is very fast.
The other two screens are the live video of the contestants. They are now fixed in one place. From the top view, people are running around on the ice like ants.
Generally speaking, although it is a club-level league, the hardware facilities are very professional, and you can feel the atmosphere of the game as soon as you stand here.
The competition gave the contestants half an hour to warm up.
The three of Xia Kaikai did not dare to underestimate any group of players participating in the adult competition. They lacked competition experience, lacked knowledge of themselves, and had limited knowledge of their opponents.
However, players who often participate in club competitions have a basic assessment of the strength of each player, and even know what level of players the opponent club has signed this year.The competition is not just between players, it is actually the clubs they sign that really benefit.
As the name suggests, this type of competition exists to promote the club's name.
Player's ranking = popularity.
Popularity = value.
Value = money.
In the face of money, rules are just constraints, not laws, which will lead to some private things, which Wen Jian and Zhou Yueshan don't know about, and Xia Kaikai knows about them but doesn't want to say them out.
The players in the arena have become the existence of media commentary, because they lack certain constraints and are even affected by the competition between clubs, and the focus of these media is also very different.
"Isn't that Gorbachev and the others? I'm not young, so it's a bit difficult to lift Torta up, and I don't know if they still have such a tacit understanding in bed."
"I saw Hatano Keiko, oh my god, she is better developed than the director's secretary. I heard that if it wasn't for her out-of-control growth, their retirement period would have been extended."
"Who are those Asians? Does anyone know?"
"Are you bored? Watching people who don't matter waste your time? Turn the camera on Gorbachev and Keiko Hatano."
The media reporters who had arrived in the stands discussed like this. The focal length of the lens did not have a single frame on Xia Kaikai and their figures. The lens continued to push to the limit, and even stayed on Keiko Hatano's proud "career line" for a long time.
Keiko Hatano's club is trying to attract more students with the selling point of "children's big breasts". Pushed to the club's popular superstar throne.
But in a place invisible to the camera, Xia Kaikai was lifting Zhou Yueshan from behind. The two moved cleanly and smoothly, especially when Zhou Yueshan stepped on Xia Kaikai's leg and made a lifting appearance. The two people looked at each other. The tension burst out with a bang, full of momentum.
When Zhou Yueshan fell off Xia Kaikai's body and the two of them slid out of the short program to perform the prescribed pattern dance, they still maintained sufficient concentration and synchronization even on the ice surface with people coming and going.
Moreover, the two not only require the synchronization of the competition level, but also the arc of the blade on the ice and the angle of the body's inclination are very subtle, maintaining the edge of losing control, elegant and agile, making people look away once they fall on it. No, it's already part of the technique.
Torta, who was also doing simultaneous exercises not far away, said to Gorbachev: "Which club is that?"
Naturally, Gorbachev didn't know the answer. He turned his head to look at the pair of Asians, his eyes full of curiosity.
And the country R pair actually talked about another pair of Asian players at the same time.
Keiko Hatano said: "I didn't expect to see the Asian teams."
Dongtang Shinichi said: "There are some Hua people who participate in the men's singles and women's singles competitions every year, but ice dancing is indeed the first time."
Keiko Hatano asked: "How do you pronounce the name of the club?"
Dongtang Shenyi said: "Jin... Xin... Club. It looks familiar, I seem to have seen it before."
Among them, there is also a media reporter from country R, who originally came to shoot news materials about Keiko Hatano and Shinichi Todo's development in the club after retiring. He even made an appointment for their post-match interview. Just aim at them.
But I don't know when it started, but the camera has been deflected to an unknown direction.
It was a pair of Asian players. It was difficult to tell which club they were from without a match card. The reporter didn't know why his eyes were blocked when he didn't know their age or where they came from. The opponent locks.
Just like in the crowd, only this pair glowed faintly, which was very beautiful.
The focus of the lens was unconsciously focused on the pair of players. When he came back to his senses, he didn't know how long it had passed. He picked up the camera and clicked the playback button. He wanted to delete this scene, but he happened to see two people skating. After taking a set of consecutive steps, he entered into a four-level lifting action... The camera shot is very clear, the angle is simply perfect, like a specially posed shot, and even the expression is particularly in place, which makes people suddenly Give birth to a feeling of reluctance.
In the end, the reporter from Country R moved his hand away from the screen and gave up deleting it.But work still needs to be done. He turned his eyes away and turned his attention to a pair of players from his own country. However, although the camera was aimed at him, his gaze still drifted away from time to time...
At this moment, a voice came from the club's radio, and a friendly female voice said in English: "The competition is about to begin, please contestants go to the referee's stand to draw lots..."
The crowd rushed out like running water.
Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan are like two inconspicuous little fish, sliding in one direction with the crowd...
……
Xia Kaikai drew a number and came back, and the No.11 group played.
In this sub-station, there are only [-] groups of ice dancers from the adult professional group to sign up for the competition. The strong athletes will leave the theater by default to avoid entering the "fight" before the finals.
However, the players ranked first or second in each sub-station basically represent the highest level of the league. Although the total number of players is small, it is not easy to beat them to win the finals.
Gorbachev and Torta, who had received much attention before the game, drew lots to play in the sixth group.
The most popular combination of Keiko Hatano and Shinichi Todo is in the tenth group.
If we say that this is the free skating and the finals, Xia Kaikai's eleventh group is pretty good.
The further back you go on stage, the more you can make adjustments based on your opponent's strength. At least men's singles, women's singles, and pair skating will all make some strategic adjustments before going on stage. Although the impact of ice dancing is not very great, it will be fine if you can play late. better.
But at this time they are performing a short program.
Under the premise that everyone needs to slide out the same prescribed pattern dance and tango dance, in fact, the further back the more unfavorable, the referee may be aesthetically fatigued, and the repetition in the selection of songs will increase the pressure to appear later.
Xia Kaikai put the lottery in Zhou Yueshan's hand and shrugged.
Zhou Yueshan didn't care about the playing time, she squeezed the lottery in her hand and nodded: "Let's go, just leave us more time for preparation."
Wen Jian was a few steps behind, worried about gains and losses, and the dark circles under his eyes made him look haggard, but once Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan looked at him, he would always show a spirited and confident smile.
The first competition was the Youth Group B of the ice dance event. There were only seven groups of contestants in total. Including the scoring time, the competition was over in less than half an hour.Then there is the junior group A and the youth group competition.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the competition for the adult group finally started.
During this period, Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan changed into competition uniforms and covered them under the thick down jackets to block them tightly.
Then Zhou Yueshan found a place to sit down and put on makeup, with a dignified expression, smearing color on her face stroke by stroke, like a kind of instrument, exuding a sense of sacredness, and she herself was in this process, Organized his status again.
After putting on the last lipstick, Zhou Yueshan finally looked away from the mirror, and then saw Xia Kaikai who was sitting beside her and looking at her curiously.
Xia Kaikai tidied up her hair, combing it back high, revealing a smooth and bright forehead, especially the eyes under a pair of thick black eyebrows, against the backdrop of this mature hairstyle, there is a kind of compelling sharpness.
The thick coat he was wearing was half open, and a smear of red could be seen from the collar. The large rolled lace protruded from the edge of the down jacket like a blooming flower pod, looming more and more alluring.
Zhou Yueshan raised her eyebrows and said, "Have you put on makeup?"
Xia Kaikai shook his head.
Zhou Yueshan said, "It must have been powdered."
"No."
Zhou Yueshan said: "That's thrush."
"Not really."
Zhou Yueshan said angrily, "Impossible! Change your hair if you brush your hair up, you're bluffing me! Let me see, are you secretly putting on eyeliner?"
"..."
Zhou Yueshan pulled Xia Kaikai's eyes and looked hard, but she couldn't find any trace of eyeliner, so she had to say discouragedly: "Your eyelashes are very thick."
Xia Kaikai rubbed his eyes and smiled.
These eyes are the place where he feels the most different from his former self after his rebirth.Single eyelid, narrow and long eyes, looks fierce and not easy to mess with, but because there are many eyelashes, and the color is thick and black, especially when he looks in the mirror after washing his face, the wet eyelashes seem to be painted on the circle of the eyes Eyeliner, there is a kind of inexplicable evil, just like the devil in western legends, in short, it is very unscrupulous.
was talking.
The adult competition begins.
Xia Kaikai and Zhou Yueshan's attention shifted instantly.
Finally, it's time for the adult competition.
personally.
look.
What is the level of the senior league.
This is a pair of senior contestants from Canada. Even with heavy makeup on, the age of the two over 30 years old still cannot be concealed.
Moreover, there are differences between Eastern and Western races. Once Westerners get old, they get old too quickly.
The music is ringing.
They skated the tango of "Summer Sleep".
The posture is not bad, and the tango dance music is more suitable for players of this age group to play. You can see the deep, depressed and ambiguous mutual seduction in their gestures.
But other than that, the standard is very average.The two people's bodies were stiff, lacked coordination, and their blades were chaotic. Needless to say, their synchronization, even the prescribed patterns slipped in several wrong places.The only thing that can be seen is the lifting part. It should be practiced seriously. The lifting part is clean and neat. When the female partner landed, there was obvious skating. At this level... it is about the same as Cuan Yiyi and the others.
of course.
Individuals cannot represent the overall level of the competition, but under the premise that there are former world champions participating, it is indeed a bit unexpected that the level gap between the players is so large.
"Hmm..." Wen Jian bit his lower lip and chuckled.
It would be great if the strength of the players was like this, and the pressure would be relieved by half, right?Feel like I'm about to fly to the top and have a bright future, don't you?
Even Xia Kaikai felt a little more at ease.
Then he felt that it was a bit funny for him to be so nervous recently, as if he was covering up, he looked around.
To be honest, the ice dancing short program competition is really nothing to watch.
The graphics are the same, and the track style is similar. There is not much room for the players to play freely. It is no wonder that the audience does not like to watch it.
The [-] seats were not filled, and all the people who came were family members of the contestants, and there was hardly a single spectator from outside.
Oh, no, there are foreign audiences.
Xia Kaikai accurately caught Mu Yuan's figure behind the crowd.
In order to confirm whether it was him, Xia Kaikai even stood up from his seat and looked back.
There is no doubt that his eyes meet the emerald green lake-like eyes.
Then, under Xia Kaikai's gaze, Mu Yuan looked at him indifferently, not as if he came to watch their match, but as if he came to seek revenge and witness their failure with his own eyes.
"What are you looking at?" Wen Jian asked.
"Mr...Mr. Raymond is here."
"What!?" Wen Jian jumped up from his seat in fright, and turned his head to search in surprise.
Xia Kaikai raised his eyebrows slightly, waved to Mu Yuan, and said silently, "Mr. Raymond, come and sit in front."
Mu Yuan nodded politely, but remained motionless.
Wen Jian was so excited that he ran over directly, and after some talking, he invited the sponsor's father to the front.
After a while of delay, the fifth group of contestants had already finished the competition.
The champion players of this sub-station, the E-country team, has already entered the ice.
There was applause in the arena.
It's hard to come by.
Until now, the attitude of the audience has been very indifferent. At the beginning there was some applause, but gradually they got busy with their own affairs, chatting with family members if they were with them, and playing with their mobile phones when they were bored.
He deliberately stopped talking and put down his cell phone, obviously because the players from country E are really famous, so big that everyone naturally pays attention to them.
"Oh, the fun game is finally about to start."
"They won No.2 in the finals when they retired last year."
"This year the club has signed a lot of new men's singles players. The ice dance has not changed much. If they maintain a good state this year, they may be able to reach No. 1."
"Stop chatting, you can see world champion players competing in such an arena, take a serious look."
"You said, can they still slide back to the A-level arena?"
"You've seen the performance this year, don't you know?"
Gorbachev took Torta's hand and slid twice to the applause, then stood still in the middle of the ice.
Take a deep breath.
look at each other.
A flame gradually appeared in the eyes.
No athlete wants to retire when he is capable enough. There are always many reasons for retiring, but deep down, he is always disdainful and unwilling. Such a second-rate game.
They also want to return to the first-line arena.
Bloom your brilliance to the fullest.
Even if you may not be able to get the ranking.
Even if the gap has been widened.
But still eager to accept the baptism of applause.
Not like at this moment.
The sparse applause not only didn't help them at all, it was even scattered like a mockery.
He obviously won the number one in the world, but he appeared in this kind of arena.
What a shame!
The two looked at each other, their aura rose little by little, and the fire of hope in their bodies was not extinguished. This was a tango that burned oneself in adversity.
The music is ringing.
"Night Seductive".
Gorbachev and Torta are a couple.
If the husband and wife file is really better than the "roommate group" or "girlfriend group", it's not true.But in some lingering actions, they will indeed be a little more presumptuous.
For example, the tango music of "Night Sultry", the sound of the music is like silk and bamboo, and the music is always lingering in the low range, mellow and ambiguous. The big bed in the room, smooth satin, and flying veils.
This kind of extremely hot, sexually suggestive music, first of all, the combination of "roommates" and "girlfriends" will avoid selection, unlike this kind of "husband and wife file", sliding, rubbing, teasing, sexy waist and hips The twisting, dancing to the climax part can also be lip-to-mouth.
The "husband and wife file" provoked love on the ice, which was really hot and presumptuous.
No embarrassment.
This is their advantage.
And after all, he is a player at the world champion level. Even if he retires, he has a very high performance in stage art. He is simply not in the same world as the previous players. When dancing, his limbs are very coordinated. Total drama.
Then the music came together again, the man showed a handsome smile on his face, while the woman opened her mouth generously to reveal a mouthful of white teeth, hearty, big smile, bright eyes and white teeth, even the smile has been professionally trained, with a full international style .
"Crack!" Applause sounded.
The audience is absolutely spontaneous
