3A, Axel triple jump, because the takeoff direction is forward, it will turn half a circle in the air more than other triple jumps.
It is the most difficult triple jump among the six jumps in figure skating.
Yu Nian felt the pressure on his ankles and knees the moment he landed, but he could still bear it.
The words of the coach in the system are still in his ears.
"Young man, your talent is so outstanding, if you can start learning figure skating at the right age, you will be the most dazzling king on this ice."
"But the cruel fact is that there are still many people in this world who have missed the best time when they haven't discovered what their talents are."
"'Missing' is an eternal regret."
For adults to learn figure skating, the limit on the A jump is two weeks.
Figure skating is such a beautiful and cruel sport. Athletes have a very short competitive career. Most men's singles players will retire at the age of 27 due to injury and physical decline.
If you want Tongzi Gong, it is best to start learning and training when you are five or six years old.
A soft smile appeared on the beautiful face of the female coach.
"But it doesn't matter, let's turn the clock's hands forward, let's make up for this miss..."
In Yu Nian's eyes, her figure gradually became taller and taller.
When he came back to his senses, he realized that it was not that the female coach had become taller, but that he had become smaller.
He looked at his soft, tiny palms, fleshy.
He squatted down and touched the ice surface with these small hands, icy and thorny.
This is an unspeakable experience. Returning to a certain stage of life, the innocence that disappeared with age seems to have returned to his body.
"Now is your best time." The female coach leaned over and rubbed his head, "Now you are six-year-old Yu Nian."
"This is the reward you get for taking the next mission: one, back to the best time; two, in the field of figure skating, the results of your training in the system can be brought into reality."
"Now this reward is paid to you in advance. You still need to work hard, you still need to train hard. Boy, what you get will always require you to work hard."
So the flow of time slowed down again, and Yu Nian kept sliding, spinning, and jumping on the ice surface simulated by the system space.
The small figure fell over and over again and staggered up again.
His little face was red with cold, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
…
Yu Nian stopped being distracted, and returned his attention to the ice surface under his feet.
He felt that he was in good shape after the 3A dance. At this time, in the six-minute practice before the game, the minute of music that belonged to him had passed. Yu Nian skated to the edge of the ice rink and gave the center to the next player. Happy players.
However, everyone's eyes were still focused on him.
The lights above the ice rink were softly glowing, and a golden crown fell on his soft hair in a trance.
He raised his eyes inadvertently, as if he was patrolling his territory.
This white world is his kingdom.
The king slid across his territory at a leisurely pace, and as far as he could see, all things could only bow their heads and serve as ministers.
Inside the ice rink, the murmurs and applause of the audience stopped, and even the other five players who were still on the ice for the sixth practice were surprised at Yu Nian's continuous climbing at the moment, avoiding his gaze. His skid gave way.
Ji Yuheng stood outside the ice rink, his eyes a little blank.
He panicked for a moment, as if some light was about to leave him. The light that belongs to oneself and occupies the eyes of others.
In this strange silence, in the silence of only music and no one, the six practice sessions ended and the music stopped.
The ice rink was completely silent.
The other five players couldn't wait to leave the ice rink in a hurry, leaving space for the first Yu Nian to play.
They only felt that their hearts were enveloped in an inexplicable pressure, which made them panic.
Yu Nian stopped sliding, and his eyes swept to the audience stage for the first time.
His eyes were indifferent, and the ice surface under his feet contrasted with each other.
With a "click", the audience who touched his sight panicked, and the aid in their hands fell to the ground.
However, at this moment, Yu Nian showed an innocent, childish smile.
All the sharpness and coldness converge in an instant.
He bowed his head, hugged himself, and made his opening move.
The jubilant and enthusiastic music followed, breaking the silence in the ice rink.
Yu Nian raised his head and stretched out his arms. The corner of his mouth raised a childish and innocent smile, and there was yearning and joy in his eyes.
"Heaven..." This smile and eyes clearly touched the hearts of the female audience present.
The temperament between children and teenagers makes people pounding and swaying.
In the music, the girl came back from the dance, the girl lay down on the soft chair, the rose in the girl's hand fell to the ground, and the girl fell asleep...
So the rose bloomed quietly, and the rose soul stretched its arms and came to her side in a whirling motion.
Yu Nian skated on the ice with one foot, and his skates drew deep and rounded arcs on the smooth ice surface.
His limbs are stretched, and his random swings are all rhythmically suited to the music. He stepped up and accelerated in the rhythm of the music, gliding almost without a trace.
Chen Hua was still immersed in the incredibleness of 3A, looking at his sliding mouth at the moment and murmured: "Is it really so silky?"
Yu Zhi, who was standing beside him, also wanted to ask. He only felt that his deliberate neglect of Yu Nian during the half-month training camp was like a joke.
After a series of ballet dances, Yu Nian took off by turning left forward and outward three times, kicking slightly on the ice with his right foot, and then turning three points on the ice to take off.
A neat Philip double jumps.
Yu Nian landed steadily.
His training time in the space is still limited. At present, except for the Axel triple jump that he wanted to overcome from the beginning, the progress of the other five jumps is still at the double jump. You can try it in three weeks, but the success rate is not high for the time being.
"2F... Yes, he can even know 3A." Chen Hua's expression was already numb.
A star, a completely amateur game like a joke, actually appeared in Axel's triple jump and Philip's double jump.
The most important thing is that it is not just as simple as jumping out, his movements are beautiful, and this beauty means that he still has a lot of spare energy.
Qiu Zhengqing couldn't hold his expression anymore, his throat was dry, and he said with difficulty: "His take-off and entry barely slowed down, he has absolute control over himself. Taking off and flying into the air, the height of the jump is amazing, and his posture in the air is tight. "
It gives the impression of being in the air when the best ballerina dances.
Accompanied by the background music, Yu Nianfu lifted his legs back and raised his knife, sliding across the ice with swallow-like steps.
The rose soul is gently awakening the girl, hoping that she can dance with him.
His arms swayed, and the roses sewn with beaded and rhinestones on his shoulders and neck shimmered, his whole body swaying like petals in the wind.
Such an effortless gesture is surprising at his flexibility.
After the swallow-style step, Yu Nian performed ballet-adapted dance moves to the beat of the music.
His eyes rolled, and the smile on his face continued, as if the girl he loved was waking up from a sound sleep.
The elf has no gender, he is the elf of the rose, he is the dream of a girl.
He seems real and illusory, and exists between "he" and "she".
After a squatting spin, Yu Nian accurately caught the rhythm of the music and completed an Axel triple jump followed by a double jump on the ice outside.
After jumping to the ground, he spreads his arms toward the audience, as if inviting to dance with him.
The girl had woken up, still drowsy, and danced with this unreal flower spirit.
His arms are so soft, his jumping movements are so light and dreamy, and he is so soft and lovely.
His eyes swept over, and no one was unshakable, wanting to step on this ice surface and dance with him.
The audience was intoxicated by such a performance, and their faces flushed.
Qiu Zhengqing stared at Yu Nian. If at first, he was shocked by Yu Nian's 3A, then at this time, he was completely overwhelmed by his artistic expression.
This is a rare talent, it is his style, and it is the favor of God that countless people can't ask for.
His gentle and graceful dancing posture and body movements perfectly restore the rose soul of "he" or "her".
Every change in his eyes, every smile revealed, is the provocation of the mortal girl by the flower essence.
The combination of hardness and softness, unlike the dance choreography of a real person, is full of elf charm and aura.
His artistic expression is unparalleled.
He is the soul of the rose, the sweet dream of a young girl in the old days.
As the music came to an end, Yu Nian's movements became more relaxed. He stared at the girl who didn't exist in front of him, slowly shook his head, and stepped back.
He glided, glided like the wind.
The rose soul is just a dream, and he is about to leave the girl.
He lowered his eyelashes, finished with a joint rotation, and disappeared in the girl's dream.
The music stops.
The scene was quiet and still, and a sense of loss filled the air.
It was as if they had also become the young girl who woke up without seeing the rose flower soul and knew that it was just a dream.
So beautiful, how can it be just a dream
After a while, someone clapped their hands.
The rest of the audience seemed to be woken up suddenly, followed by thunderous applause.
Their faces flushed red, and they complained that their mobile phone cameras were taken away by the program crew, and they couldn't record this intoxicating scene in person so that they could watch it again and again in the future.
That's the beauty of figure skating.
It turns out that this is the charm of Yu Nian.
His light was so dazzling, the audience just hated that they didn't discover this teenager earlier.
Qiu Zhengqing also hated why he hadn't discovered this young man earlier.
Amidst this applause, Qiu Zhengqing took a deep breath, his face showing excitement: "Perfect choreography, perfect expressiveness."
The members of the national team focus on jumping and less on sliding and less on artistic performance in their small training. They are generally good in jumping skills, but have always been deficient in sliding and artistic expression.
This makes it difficult for them to stand out on the international stage.
In recent years, coaches have realized this. In addition to jumping skills, they have paid more attention to skating than before, and also required team members to learn various dance styles, yoga and Pilates, etc. to improve their expressiveness and body coordination.
Skating is the foundation of the sport, the starting point from which various movements are derived.
Artistic expression is the source of the sport's charm and the magic weapon to conquer the audience.
Yu Nian's ability to control his body is so adept and perfect, it's no exaggeration to describe the ice skates under his feet as silky. This not only brings visual beauty, but also his jumping belt. Get enough speed to bring unparalleled balance to his spin.
His artistic expression is so amazing, and every move has a natural charm, as if it should exist in this ice rink by nature.
Yu Nian bowed to the audience and walked off the ice rink.
The audience was still reluctant to let go, and they were not looking forward to the performance of the next five contestants.
They knew in their hearts that there could be nothing better than him, that he was a gem on the ice.
"Young man who was born for figure skating." Qiu Zhengqing looked at Yu Nian's back as he walked off the rink and said, "Such a good seedling, can't you see his talent, why not teach him what to do with his coach? He was sent to the arena and buried like this?"
In his opinion, with the talent shown by Yu Nian just now, if he was training in the national team, he should have practiced quad jumping in his teens.
- That is, even 3A can jump without hesitation, but he has not learned other triple jumps except 3A.
In the program just now, Yu Nian also showed two types of double jumps: Philip's double jump and the back and outside point ice double jump.
This is far less difficult than 3A. You must know that the pressure of 3A on men's singles players is even higher than some quadruple jumps.
Some players can jump out of the ice perfectly, but they may not be able to jump out of 3A-Axel Triple Jump.
A jump is so difficult.
Qiu Zhengqing came to the conclusion that Yu Nian's talent was amazing, but he was buried by the inactive coach.
He paced in place with an anxious and annoyed look on his face: "What a pity! What a pity!"
"If such a good seedling can be discovered by me before the age of eight..."
"For a figure skater, the golden age of his career is over, over."
Chen Hua looked at his teacher, the national team coach, who has always been flattered, was in such a state of anxiety, and was a little surprised.
But as a coach, he has the same feelings for the teacher.
As Qiu Zhengqing said, this young man was born for figure skating. His talent and his expressiveness on ice are so outstanding and rare.
If he could train and compete from an early age, he should have stood at the top of the pyramid of this ice and snow sport.
But how old is he now? 20? 22
At this age, I haven't even mastered the triple jump, let alone the quad.
The show he just performed was perfect, but in a competition, in terms of technical difficulty, even if it was so perfect, it still couldn't let him get the medal of the competition.
Figure skating can be divided into technical points and program content points.
If he can't master at least two quadruple jumps, there is no way he can win a medal.
— even such a perfect performance.
According to common sense, it is impossible for him to enter the national team at this age.
Figure skating is about boy skills. Which one is not polished by competitions big and small? The older you are, the more prominent the disadvantage. There is no such thing as a late bloomer.
There is no such thing as an adult and then entering the competition and developing in this field.
Chen Hua hesitantly said, "Old—"
Qiu Zhengqing raised his hand to stop him, and muttered to himself, "But he can jump 3A, how many people can jump 3A? Even if he is old, it is not impossible."
"If I teach myself, it's not impossible to unlock quads within a year."
His eyes were getting hotter.
