ice and snow champion

Chapter 67 Debut
At [-] o'clock in the morning of the next day, the selection competition for exchange in Russia officially kicked off.

Everyone can participate in the trials without any restrictions.

The short program requires at least three jumps, three rotations, and one footwork, a total of seven prescribed movements, and the time needs to be controlled at about 2 minutes and 40 seconds.

After the registration was over, Zheng Fan made a rough count. There were 11 men's singles players and 14 women's singles men's singles players. One can imagine how hard it is to fight for the top two.

After that, there was a lottery session. Zheng Fan got No. 2, that is, No.[-] figure skating men's singles.

According to international practice, men's singles skates first, followed by women's singles.

The first player to play in the men's singles was a [-]- or [-]-year-old player. At first glance, he lacked experience in competitions. Coupled with the fact that he was the first player to play, he was somewhat uncertain and nervous.

Costen is very elegant, black trousers, ivory white top, dotted with black feathers intermittently, like a flying bird, the workmanship is very exquisite, it looks like it is custom-made, and it is very valuable.

He looked at the training clothes he was wearing again.

Hey, when will we be able to spend a lot of money and spend tens of thousands of experience points to buy a beautiful Costen.

After the warm-up, the contestants came to the center of the field, opened their hands like a bird about to take off, and made a short program start.

The music played, and the contestants began to wave their arms, as if a bird was about to take off, and began to slide forward.

The whole performance was fairly smooth, and there was some movement connection, but because of the tension, the players' movements were a little stiff, which led to a mistake in the double-axel jump after the first hook triple axel. The leg did not open in time during the cycle jump, and as a result, I fell into a squat, and the technical points and program content points will inevitably be reduced.

Perhaps it was because of this fall that the players completely let go of their burdens, and they did well in the following triple axel jump and Axel double axel jump. The twirling steps, single jumps, The follow-up steps and so on are all done well.

Overall, this skater's figure skating performance is not bad. Like Zheng Fan, there is no Axel triple axel, but the completion of the short program is good. If it wasn't for a nervous fall at the beginning, the score would definitely be higher. higher.

There are a total of seven judges responsible for scoring, all of whom are coaches of the figure skating national team.

Because it is an internal selection competition, under normal circumstances, the judges give the divisions relatively loose, which shows that the scores of the athletes will be relatively high.

The final result came out. The technical score was 36.58, the content score was 32.60, and the total score was 69.18. Generally speaking, it is not bad. The technical difficulty is there, and it is impossible to give too high a score.

When the judges scored, Zheng Fan, who came in second, had already started to warm up.

It's impossible to say that I'm not nervous. It's Zheng Fan's debut for the first time in a figure skating performance.

The main reason was that when Zheng Fan came on stage, the judges present cast a strange look.

That look seems to be saying: Why are you here too, why are you joining in the fun?

Zheng Fan didn't understand why he was looking at him like this. Could it be that he was surprised and disdainful because he hadn't been here for a long time? !
It didn't feel like it, Zheng Fan denied his guess.

The reason is simple, wrong eyes.

But Zheng Fan couldn't think of other reasons, and he couldn't allow him to think too much, because the referee had already signaled that the performance had begun.

Zheng Fan slid to the center of the field, looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, and made a gesture with his hands spread out, trying to calm down his mood and ensure that the performance was completed in the most perfect state.

The music sounded, and the melodious sound of the violin echoed throughout the skating rink. Immediately after the sound of the piano intervened, Zheng Fan instantly entered the state.

Because the first half of the music is mainly about longing, the music is relatively gentle, so Hao Qiang only arranged a triple axel, a spin and a set of footwork for Zheng Fan.

Accompanied by the sound of melodious music, Zheng Fan danced on the court. Every step of skating has a movement, whether it is a turn, a single jump, a twirling step or a swallow-style rotation. Although the flexibility is still lacking, But Zheng Fan strives for the ultimate in every action, integrating emotions into the performance, and the grief expressed is indeed vivid on the paper.

Just at the end of the first half, Zheng Fan ushered in his first jump—the triple axel.

Since Zheng Fan was born in short-track speed skating and has strong explosive power, he does not need long-distance skating, and his speed is enough. When he rushed to the bottom corner of the field, he started with the trend, took off with the right rear outer edge, and after three laps in the air Land on the ground smoothly, with your legs open.

The whole jumping action is clean and neat, and the completion is very beautiful and standard.

Zheng Fan has gradually improved, and he has fully integrated into the music.

In fact, at the moment when the music played, Zheng Fan had a sustenance of his longing, and that person was his daughter.

I can't say why, but I suddenly remembered it.

It has been more than half a month since the parting, but Qianjin's frown and smile always echoed in Zheng Fan's mind.

The young daughter who is still young now gradually overlaps with the champion figure on the skating rink five years later. Zheng Fan seems to see that Yiren through the mountains, through the lush forests and bamboos, on the other side of the world.

The longing did not fade because of the long time, but became more unforgettable.

At this time, Zheng Fan was not so much performing on the skating rink as he was venting his inner emotions.

After the jump, Zheng Fan slid to the center of the court with a bracket step.

Following Zheng Fan's sudden stop, the music also paused, and when the sound sounded again, it had already entered the second half of the track—long time no see.

The second half of the performance was a little more relaxed than the first half, and Zheng Fan's performance began to be more stretched and smooth, interspersed with various small jumps and successive steps, showing the excitement and touch when they met again.

In the second half, when the music reached its first small climax, Zheng Fan accelerated gliding for a short distance, followed by the right blade pointing the ice, and the left rear inner edge took off. After three rounds of rotation in the air, he landed smoothly and adjusted for the single jump. In the direction, the left knife tooth touched the ice again, the right rear outer edge took off, and after three rounds of rotation in the air, it landed smoothly again, and a somewhat flattering jump was successfully completed.

At this time, the audience watching the game outside the stadium, some people have already applauded, not only because of the perfect jump performed by Zheng Fan, but also because the content of the program made everyone empathize.

The "empathy" effect quietly mobilized the emotions of the audience watching the game. The emotion that Zheng Fan wanted to express was magnified several times and passed on to the people around him.

With 20 seconds left in the short program, Zheng Fan completed his last triple axel in the competition - a triple axel in the rear inner knot, then took advantage of the trend to slide in the middle of the arena, and started his last two rotations, squatting Swivel to Upright Swivel.

As the last note of the music fell, Zheng Fan also stopped all movements, stood in the field, stretched out his left hand and smiled, as if he was holding someone's hand.

At this moment, in Zheng Fan's world, isn't the one I'm leading is the daughter who is smiling at me.
