I traveled through time and became a cute girl, I just want to be a fun person

Chapter 417 Perfect Performance

When more and more people knew that Jiang Yuan was going to participate in the National Figure Skating Championships in less than two months, many of them showed a "black question mark face" expression, and the first question that came out of their mouths was -

Isn’t this Jiang Yuan a professional table tennis player? Moreover, she is a super talent emerging from the new generation of Chinese women’s table tennis team. She is very likely to become the new generation of women’s singles king in the future. How come she has become a figure skater now?
Could it be that this is simply a coincidence, that two players from different fields just happened to have the same name?
After all, according to the public's understanding of competitive sports, it is basically impossible for those who can reach the top level in a certain sport to cross over. Even someone as strong as the "God of Basketball" Jordan, it is well known that he played baseball for a period of time during his short retirement, but he didn't make a name for himself.

In competitive sports, only "multiple events" in the same type of competition can maintain a high standard. For example, in table tennis doubles, I have never heard of any top player "crossing over", not to mention that the difference between the events they cross over is so huge. Could it be that the ordinary Summer Olympic gold medal is not enough for her, and she must collect the Winter Olympic gold medal like collecting stamps?

But the question is, why did she have to choose women's figure skating when there were so many other cross-border events she could choose?
If table tennis is China's traditional strong sport, where as long as one obtains the qualification to represent China in the Olympics, one is guaranteed to win a team gold medal, then for women's figure skating, a sport that is relatively declining in China, one really has to rely on oneself for everything, not to mention that it is still the era of "Clash of the Gods" for women's singles, where it is a blessing to be able to win a medal, and a gold medal is simply a delusion!
Therefore, no matter from which angle you look at it, Jiang Yuan, who has already made her mark in the field of table tennis and is far ahead of other new generation players, has no need to join in the ridiculously competitive women's singles figure skating field. Isn't this self-destructive?
With this in mind, many people tend to believe that the "Jiang Yuan" on the list of participants in the National Figure Skating Championships is definitely not the young lady who has become famous and has a lot of traffic recently, but is just a coincidence with the same name!

However, their idea that the result was indeed very reasonable was soon shattered by an indisputable fact, that is, this Jiang Yuan is the same Jiang Yuan, she has crossed over, and it was not a sudden crossover without any foreshadowing, because some gossipers have dug up a post-match interview of Jiang Yuan, in which she said in person that her other sports hobby is figure skating!
When she said this, naturally not many people took it to heart. Some people might have even sneered in their hearts, saying that if she likes to skate on the ice rink, then she likes it. But she has to call it "figure skating". This is a bit too pretentious.

Can ordinary people master such a difficult sport as figure skating? It is already amazing for ordinary people to jump up from the ice with skates on without falling, but figure skaters can perform acrobatics directly on the ice...

In the end, no one expected that the boomerang would come so quickly!

You were just talking about an ordinary hobby, but in the blink of an eye you're playing professionally again?

Do you want to be so exaggerated?

Anyway, everyone was shocked, and naturally developed a strong interest in the National Figure Skating Championships, which was not very popular in China, so much so that even tickets for the competition became a hot commodity!

Those old fans who had always been able to easily buy tickets for domestic figure skating competitions were completely upset because they failed to get tickets this time.

"What the hell! I knew the day would come when I would need to grab tickets, but I didn't expect it to come so soon!"

"It's so frustrating. I easily got tickets for overseas trips several times, but I just can't get tickets for domestic trips no matter how hard I try!"

"Can the scalpers who use cheats to grab tickets just die? They are targeting Yuan Shen's game, right? This is so disgusting..."

"Can you please get out of the figure skating circle? Did you buy tickets to watch the competition? This is ridiculous!"

"The fans in the fan circle can't get away from it. Those rich female fans in the figure skating circle are all old fans. They have money and time. It's just that because there is no skater in China that satisfies them, they can only follow foreign players. Now the goddess of fate has arrived. As long as her performance is not bad, we can predict how many fans she will attract in the future!"

"Based on my years of experience watching figure skating, Jiang Yuan's talent is actually very outrageous. I feel that she is likely to become the Quan Hongchan of figure skating. The number of Quan Hongchan's fans and their enthusiasm are so terrifying!"

"You are so bragging. Quan Hongchan's talent in diving is absolutely top-notch. Her 'water splash disappearance technique' can even make people who don't know anything about diving stunned. She even said that the splashes she makes when she cooks dumplings are bigger than hers. Jiang Yuan is just a nobody, but he's trying to smear Quan Hongchan. Isn't this kind of bragging a smear?"

"I don't care. I just feel uncomfortable because I didn't get the tickets. It's all because Jiang Yuan is so popular that Yunzi and others came to grab the tickets maliciously!"

……

In such an atmosphere of public opinion that attracted almost universal attention, at an ice sports center in a city in a northern province, this year's National Figure Skating Championships, organized by the China Figure Skating Association and the local city sports bureau, officially began!
Figure skating competition is undoubtedly a visual feast that combines art, skill and speed.

As the soft and solemn music slowly sounded, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed, and the spotlight was focused on the mirror-like ice surface in the center.

In the audience, thunderous applause and cheers mixed together in anticipation of the wonderful performance that was about to take place.

The players, wearing carefully designed "costens", stepped onto the ice rink one by one with appropriate smiles on their faces, waving to the audience around them. Every movement revealed their respect and anticipation for the game.

The competition officially began, and the first part was the short program.

The first skater to perform was a long-established veteran from China, but the only people who knew her were the core fans who truly paid attention to the figure skating circle. The audience at the scene were all patiently waiting for Jiang Yuan's performance.

This long-established veteran skated onto the ice to the sound of cheerful music, and instantly the entire venue seemed to be brought into a dream world.

Her steps are light and precise. She jumps, spins and slides. Every movement is like a carefully choreographed dance, showing her good technique and artistic level.

When she was spinning, the hem of her skirt spun with the speed of her rotation, like a blooming flower. When she was jumping, her body spun rapidly in the air. Unfortunately, there were some minor problems when she landed. Even so, her performance had already caused many spectators who were watching a figure skating competition live for the first time to exclaim in amazement.

The moves chosen by this veteran were obviously safe, and he did not go for moves that were too difficult. He was pursuing integrity and fluency. However, some of the energetic young players who came on the stage later were of course like newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers, and they went for moves that were difficult when necessary!
The problem is that the overall level of Chinese women's figure skating is really average. The result of taking on high-difficulty moves is that they fall directly on the ice, which makes the audience feel distressed. After all, these figure skating girls wearing carefully designed "costens" are at least above average in appearance. After all, this event is one that pursues beauty, audience appeal, and judges' appeal. In a sense, the more handsome or beautiful you are, the judges will give you more preferential treatment when scoring.

Even in this sport, there is a classic "nationality" advantage. For example, it is easy for the judges to give high scores to the figure skaters from the bear country, which is the same as their advantage in "synchronized swimming". Of course, with the bear country being banned from the Olympics, this directly allowed China's "synchronized swimming" to break through history and win the gold medal. The competition continued. As the competition progressed, the contestants tried their best to show their technical level. Some contestants fell because of the pursuit of high difficulty, while others proved their strength with stable landings.

In the spinning segment, whether it was a single-foot spin or a switch-foot spin, the contestants showed extremely high rotation speed and control. Some contestants were even able to add jumping elements to the spin, which increased the viewing experience.

In addition, the smoothness of footwork, the speed and power of skating, and the perfect integration of music and movements in the program are all important components of the judging criteria.

Entering the free skating stage, the competition entered a white-hot stage. The songs selected by the contestants were of different styles, from classical music to modern pop music, and each song carried their understanding and love for figure skating.

In this four-minute performance, the contestants put all they have learned throughout their lives, not only demonstrating more difficult jumps and spins, but also conveying their deep understanding and emotional resonance of the music through facial expressions and body language.

Some contestants chose repertoire with strong narrative elements, bringing the audience into one dream after another through coherent storylines; others paid more attention to the combination of technology and art, striving for perfection in every jump and every spin.

The judges will score the players based on their performance, including technical difficulty, artistic expression, execution quality, etc. In the end, the player with the highest score will win the championship, but no matter what the ranking is, every player standing on the ice is a true warrior, and they have watered this glory and dream with sweat and tears.

When Jiang Yuan stepped onto the ice rink wearing a carefully designed "costen" and prepared for her program, the entire venue seemed to be united by an invisible force, and the atmosphere instantly became fanatical and full of expectation.

The light shone softly on her body, casting a golden glow on her elegant and perfect figure, as if foreshadowing that a visual and artistic feast was about to take place.

The audiences were all dazzled at this time. After all, Jiang Yuan had a huge gap in appearance compared to other contestants. In addition, the "Costen" she was wearing was a fine product exchanged from the system mall. It was a system product, and those who knew about it would understand that as long as it was not cheap blank equipment, the texture it presented and the impression it gave the audience after watching it were invincible!
"Fuck, this makeup and this outfit are so amazing!"

"Jiang Yuan is really a leg expert. After putting on the ice skates, her legs are so long!"

"These thick pantyhose (?) look really sexy, I got erected right there!"

"What a killer move! It was truly a killer move. Even though I haven't watched her match yet, today's trip has been worthwhile!"

……

As the music slowly sounded, Jiang Yuan slid onto the ice in an almost sacred and elegant posture. Her every movement seemed so smooth and full of power.

That’s right, although Jiang Yuan still looks very thin and frail overall, her movements are indeed more powerful than those of other players. This is obviously the result of her persistent use of “happiness value” to increase her basic attributes.

She first glided lightly for a few circles, as if having a silent conversation with the ice. Then, she gradually accelerated to the speed of the music and began a series of difficult jumps and spins.

At the moment of jumping, Jiang Yuan seemed to transform into a dancing butterfly. Her body drew perfect arcs in the air. Every landing was steady and graceful. At the same time, the difficulty was visibly higher than that of other contestants!
This time, even the novice audience who were watching a live figure skating competition for the first time really felt her dimensionality reduction attack on other domestic players!
Everyone held their breath and watched, afraid of missing any details. When she successfully completed a difficult 3A, the audience's eyes widened, especially those who really knew what it meant!
In addition to jumping, Jiang Yuan's artistic expression is also breathtaking.

She perfectly conveys the emotions of the music to the audience through every subtle movement of her body.

No matter whether it is a sad melody or an exciting movement, she can interpret it vividly in a unique way. The audience was deeply attracted by her performance, some even exaggerated to the point of tears, while others waved the cheering items in their hands excitedly.

At the climax of the show, Jiang Yuan also showed off Yuzuru Hanyu's signature "hydroblading" gliding technique, which requires extremely high body control and balance.

She glided on the ice with an almost graceful posture, as if she had merged with the ice, becoming the most dazzling star on the ice.

The National Television Sports Channel broadcast this year's Figure Skating Championships live. The female commentator in charge of the competition was so excited when she saw this famous scene being reproduced, and then she started the classic poetry recitation segment:

"Your face is like jade, your figure is like a pine tree. You are graceful as a startled swan and elegant as a swimming dragon. Fortunately, I have known your peach blossom face. From now on, there will be more warm spring on the roads..."

Finally, when Jiang Yuan completed the last move and slowly slid to the sidelines, the audience burst into prolonged applause and cheers.

They all stood up and gave her the warmest applause and the highest respect.

Jiang Yuan responded to the audience's enthusiasm with a sweet smile and an elegant bow...

After her performance, the result of this competition was obviously no longer a surprise!
