Silver Plate of Rebirth Frostblade

After the GP Series Grand Prix, in order of points, among the men’s singles players in the senior group, Dominique, Haimo, and Tomoya Owada all entered the GPF without any suspense. Lian Hai, the first Chinese brother, failed to continue his brave performance in Canada , only ranked ninth in the standings and missed the finals.As for the youth group, it may be because of the unlucky experience a while ago that he has accumulated enough character. One of the men's singles players with the top six points retired due to injury. Takei succeeded as the first overall substitute. , Popov entered the finals together.

Although the ISU Grand Prix series is not held at the same location for the adult group and the youth group, the finals will be held at the same time and at the same location. At that time, the Gala, that is, the performance skating, will be held together.Coincidentally, this year's venue is Adrian's hometown, Quebec City, Canada.

It's a pity that Adrian didn't enter the GPF, otherwise he would definitely have a wave of PCS in his absolute home field.Xu Lingjun thought.

This time, Yue Baozhu was also going to Quebec to prepare for the battle.In the new season of this year, Yue Baozhu regained his form and played bravely. In the two races, he hooked three weeks and received three weeks. He also entered the JGPF with one championship and one runner-up.Ge Tianxing couldn't help but feel like walking with his chest up every second.In order to take care of Xu Lingjun and Yue Baozhu's life training, Ge Tianxing, Zhu Rui, and Zhu Heng also flew to the competition venue together.

In this car, after arriving in Quebec, they are methodically preparing for rest and tomorrow's public training. Over there, two people that Xu Lingjun never expected also boarded the plane to Canada.

"Oh my god, I'm exhausted. I didn't expect that the French I taught myself would come in handy one day!" A large pink suitcase was pushed against the wall with a bang, and the bed next to it sank with a bang. A humanoid depression.

Feng Lin, who was packing up the suitcases and took out the toiletries and cosmetics, smiled helplessly: "Xiaoxiao, isn't it your proposal to come on this quick-and-dirty trip?"

"I used to sign up for a travel agency with my mother when I went out to play. How did I know that self-guided travel is so tiring." Du Xiaoxiao on the bed, who is indeed Xu Lingjun's current number one fan, turned over and complained, "If we had known, we would not In order to save a few hundred yuan, I chose a connecting flight, and almost missed the flight, I was so stupid. The plane was so stingy, and only instant noodles were served!"

It was Du Xiaoxiao's suggestion to go to Quebec to watch the grand prix finals and take a tour to experience the Christmas atmosphere in Canada.She and Feng Lin are seniors this year, and both of them have completed the required courses and accumulated enough graduation credits. Both of them chose postgraduate education in order to be more competitive in the job market in the future.Now that the places for the two of them have been confirmed, they want to go on a crazy celebration trip.It coincided with the Grand Prix Finals being held in Quebec, and both of them loved to watch a Korean drama filmed in Quebec, so they bought tickets for the competition and booked a hotel to come over.

For Du Xiaoxiao, this final is very worth watching. The athletes who have the ability to win medals and gold medals in the Olympic Games will come out in full force. It is expected that it may be the most intense final in the past few years.At the same time, there are Chinese men’s and women’s single stars in the finals of the youth group, and their competitiveness is no less than that of the adult group.Feng Lin has successfully become an entry-level ice fan under the influence of Du Xiaoxiao in the past six months. Lin still needs Du Xiaoxiao's explanation from time to time while watching the game.

"Let's wash up and go to sleep. There will be an OP (open practice) for the youth group early tomorrow morning. This time, the friends in the bar strongly demanded that I live broadcast the status of 00 for them in real time." Du Xiaoxiao went to the bathroom vigorously Wash up, said vaguely with a mouthful of toothpaste foam.

It turned out that after Du Xiaoxiao decided to make Xu Lingjun his little wall, he went home and followed Xu Lingjun's Baidu post bar very actively.It turned out that there was indeed a post bar, but it was so barren that it was almost used as a small advertisement.Du Xiaoxiao, who has suffered a serious heart attack, decided to take on the task of managing the post bar. It happened that she was relatively free in her senior year, so she was approved as soon as she applied to be the bar owner.Now under her care, Xu Lingjun's post bar has begun to take shape. Although there are not many members in the post bar, most of them are senior ice fans who are optimistic about him. Several people usually post in the bar to discuss Xu Lingjun's new technology and new programs. It's a joy.Only she has the opportunity to watch the competition this time, so naturally she must do her best to benefit her friends.

At 7 o'clock in the morning of the second day, when Du Xiaoxiao and Feng Lin arrived at the OP venue, perhaps because of the early hours and the lack of attention from the youth group, there were not many people watching the OP. Location.Du Xiaoxiao took out a small notebook and began to draw a form to follow up on Xu Lingjun's music situation at any time.

The first to enter the venue was the Russian teenager Popov.He is small for his age but not short, and he looks good with blond hair and blue eyes.Du Xiaoxiao was looking for Xu Lingjun, but saw Ge Tianxing and Zhu Rui standing about ten meters away, and hurriedly poked Feng Lin to let her look over: "Look to the right, that's 00's coach and choreographer. I guess 00 will be there soon." coming out."

Before the words fell, Xu Lingjun appeared at the entrance of the ice rink wearing a black long-sleeved training suit. After taking off the knife sheath and handing it to Ge Tianxing, he went on the ice and began to warm up.

Popov was very serious during the joint music, and went through the short program without missing every jump, only skipping some rotations.Due to the difficulty of the short program, Du Xiaoxiao couldn't see his surroundings live, which was a bit regrettable.Seeing Xu Lingjun flying among the players on the ice like the wind, he couldn't help laughing again.

"Linzi, look how pitiful Popov is, surrounded by players like 00 Takei and the others, which makes his skating even more shabby."

Feng Lin nodded in agreement. Even though she was half-skilled, it was still obvious to the naked eye who was skating fast. Popov stalled badly at the end of the show, and Slowly and Lao Niu pulled a broken cart.

Next came Takei and his overstretched flowerdance.Du Xiaoxiao has watched this program many times, but it can still be said that she lacks interest, so she concentrates on recording Xu Lingjun's practice.

“4t（摔）,4t(手扶冰),3t,4t，4t3t（Rippon，落冰紧），4t3t（Rippon），4t3t（Rippon）。”00的四周单跳状况好像不太好啊，杜晓晓咬着笔头紧张地想。

"3a, 3a, 3a (footwork out), 3a, 3a2t (tight), 3a2t, 3a2t." Well, three and a half weeks in good shape.

Then Du Xiaoxiao saw Xu Lingjun do some hook three-on-three and Rupp's three-week single jump. There was no problem with these two jumps, and the success rate was very high.In the end, Xu Lingjun went through the joint music briefly, did not do jumps, just walked and spun, and ended the public practice of the day.

In the afternoon it was time for the official competition.The Grand Prix Finals is different from other events. There are only six participants or six groups in each game, and there is no ice sweeping in the middle. It is much more compact than other large-scale events.Since this game has Chinese players participating, and it is not a prime time slot, the sports channel chose to broadcast the whole process live on TV.

"Good morning, viewers and friends in front of the TV! I am Yang Xiaowen. Now I am broadcasting the competition of the youth group of the figure skating grand finals for you. Now we can see that the players on the field are about to finish their 6-minute warm-up .In this competition, our Chinese teenager Xu Lingjun will play last because he ranks first in points.”

At the same time, a group of fans who got up early or had jet lag began to post on the live broadcast of the finals.

[Why is there no Jia Bo today, I miss him]

[Ms. Jia is the referee of the women's singles in the youth group of this competition, and now she has gone to Quebec. 】

Yang Xiaowen glanced at the laptop screen, secretly marveling at the well-informed ice fans, and continued, "Xu Lingjun's main opponents in this game are the Japanese teenager Shunta Takei who will be playing next, and the Russian star Bo Pov. Now Shunta Takei is about to start his show, and this season his show follows last season's FlowerDance."

[Wukong, who plays military boxing, is here again. Do you still remember the fear of being dominated by Wu Yitiao at the beginning of the season?]

[Wu Yitiao 23333 is really awesome]

[What situation did I miss?]

[At the beginning of the season, Takei's second stop JGP short program Bund, I don't know, 1a, 3lo, 2lz, the effective jump of the whole audience is only 3lo. 】

Amidst the ridicule of many ice fans, Wu Jing started this short program which was slightly contrary to his personal style.It may be that the resentment of ice fans reached him, but Takei's short program performed well, and it was a long-lost clean.

"Takei Shunta performed very well in this short program, and all the movements were completed with zero mistakes." Yang Xiaowen praised in a smiling voice, "This is relatively rare for him. Affected by a series of off-court factors such as the coach, his state has been poor. It seems that his mentality has been better adjusted now."

Next, three more players passed, all of whom performed well but did not exceed Takei's score.Then finally it was the turn of the teenager Popov who was under the care of Chinese ice fans.At this time, Yang Xiaowen also made a full-fledged introduction:

"The following player is our focus. He is a rising star from Russia, Alexei Popov. He is just 14 years old this year, and his existing difficulty reserves include 4t and 4s quadruple jumps. .His coach is very famous, and is one of the most successful coaches in Russia in recent years, Aitli Tutelize.The next short program music for him comes from the famous Romanian composer Eugene Doga's waltz repertoire, " My Sweet and Gentle Beast, this waltz is the most widely read soundtrack to the famous Soviet film "Tragedies on the Safari" based on Chekhov's novel."

The author has something to say:

About eating instant noodles on the plane, it seems to be a weird menu unique to Air Canada. They eat Kaibeile (aka Heweiwei), which is really too much to eat. I was tired after sitting on the plane for more than ten hours, but I still have to eat instant noodles. , too shabby

The author’s personal experience about where to go out in senior year is also the author’s personal experience. When I was in college for a while, if I chose insurance research in my senior year, there was really nothing to do, and I could go out at any time or do a full-time internship up.But the author is miserable. After taking a double degree, he has to apply again. He is still struggling to earn credits until his senior year.

The Korean drama filmed in Quebec was discovered when I searched for Quebec travel guides. I haven’t watched it. It’s called ghosts, but it’s really popular.

The music of Popov's short program mentioned in the article is MysweetandtenderbeastbyEugenDoga, which is the music for the wedding in the movie "AHuntingAccident".A very beautiful waltz, the movie is also beautifully shot, the heroine is super good-looking, and the tragic ending in the end is embarrassing.

------------------------The following is the dividing line of small science popularization------------------- ----

Axel jumps:

Generally, the first jump that beginner ice fans will recognize is Axel, because it is the only one that jumps forward, hahaha

Open Exercise (op):

Before the figure skating competition, a public practice is usually organized. During the practice, all the players are on the ice, but music will be played according to the order of the joint practice, so that the players can practice their programs together in order.Everyone else can stay on the ice during the practice, just be careful not to touch them.

During the music together, some people prefer to practice all over again. For example, Tomoko Miyahara from Japan, she often puts on makeup + puts on costumes for the whole combination.But there are also many players who choose to go through it roughly, skip the rotation or jump, and find out the feeling.Neither approach is better or worse, it's all about personal preference.

Small book and repo practice situation:

Under normal circumstances, ice fans watching the game will go to the OP (opening practice), because the open practice can show a lot of information about the current state of the players.In order to share information with other ice fans, many people will record every jump and jump practiced by the players, and post them back on the post bar or Weibo or WeChat groups. The scientific name of this behavior is called repo, and the format and The format in the text is similar, jump + (mistake category).

Effective jump:

In the short program of the non-juvenile category, jumps of two weeks or less are not recognized if they do not appear in the continuous jump.At the same time, if there is no continuous jump, the entire jump needs to be deducted GOE.

Atelier Tutelize:

It's Sister Instant Noodles, so everyone can get why it is called Sister Mian, her name is really too long.

This song "My Sweet and Gentle Beast" is a soundtrack that Russian players or players with a Russian background like to choose, famous ones include Sasha Cohen, and Sakranovich, etc.
