Silver Plate of Rebirth Frostblade

This is the end of all youth competitions for this season.Unlike last season, Xu Lingjun keenly found himself busy after winning the Grand Slam in the youth group.

First of all, the National Ice Association gave the club a notice. Because he won the World Youth Championship, which is considered to be the champion of the ISU series of international competitions, he was directly promoted to a special athlete, and the subsidies given to him by the Ice Association also increased. The training process and other clubs must report to the Ice Association on a regular basis. Participating in large-scale events also requires Ice Association officials to accompany them to help deal with media and other issues.

All in all, the current Xu Lingjun has become a favorite in the eyes of the Ice Association and a key training target for the next season.

Ge Tianxing's application for promotion was also immediately approved. After all, Xu Lingjun swept all the youth group championships this season, and he will not be able to make any new breakthroughs if he stays any longer.At present, there are only two men's singles players in China's senior group. Jiang Zhiyong will retire soon, and Xu Lingjun's promotion is inevitable.

In fact, Jiang Zhiyong did not retire so early in his previous life. On the contrary, he dragged his injured body until he was 30 years old.After all, after him and Lian Hai, the most promising Hou Boyan is not around, even if he wants to quit, he will be persuaded by the Ice Association to come back.In this life, it is estimated that Jiang Zhiyong has no intention of continuing to persevere because he has watched his juniors have a bright future, and he left gracefully and began to enjoy life.

Hou Boyan's application for promotion was rejected.The Ice Association felt that Hou Boyan hadn't made it to the top of the youth group yet, and it was not worthwhile to be promoted at this time. In addition, Jiang Bin and others behind him were still unable to support the family, and they couldn't even enter the free skating at the World Youth Championship.Hou Boyan can only persevere in the youth group to keep the two places in the future.

Hou Boyan was very depressed about this, and he even called Xu Lingjun to pour out his bitterness to the goddess who was promoted to the group. He was still a kid in the youth group.

He was doomed to be disappointed, Xu Lingjun thought to himself, if Hou Boyan followed the development of his previous life, he would soon exceed 1.8 meters, 3a and jumping were quite stable in the end, and he didn't struggle for four weeks until he retired.

In addition to the Ice Association opening the door to him, Xu Lingjun also received an olive branch from the sports agency giant IMG.It was Dong Zhicheng, the gold broker of IMG China Branch, who came to negotiate with him, He Feifei and Xu Hangsheng.He has several famous winter athletes under him, including Zhu Heng and Zhu Rui brothers and sisters.Although IMG generally signs contracts with senior players with achievements, Xu Lingjun has a bright future, looks good, and is a bit of a gimmick. The last four weeks of the finals helped Xu Lingjun, a little guy, become popular on Weibo. —— Young athletes, they are also very welcome.

There is no obvious disadvantage in signing a contract. Of course, advertising and other income need to be commissioned, and you need to attend some activities according to the requirements of the agent. The company can help him get more sponsorship.Although He Feifei and Xu Hangsheng have a lot of income from a wealthy family and subsidies from the Ice Concord Club, but the sport of figure skating is too expensive. Clothes, skates, skates, and choreography are a big expense every year.After signing the contract, it also reduced a lot of financial burden for He Feifei and Xu Hangsheng, and the family naturally agreed after discussing it.

After finishing the promotion and signing the contract, Xu Lingjun began to prepare for the high school entrance examination non-stop.

Although it is the off-season now, except for some short vacations, athletes cannot completely rest.As the saying goes, if you don't practice for one day, you will know it, if you don't practice for two days, your peers will know it, and if you don't practice for three days, the audience will know it. This is also the case in figure skating.Xu Ling didn't know whether his colleagues knew about it, but if he dared not to practice for a day, let alone Ge Tianxing, he would feel flustered in his heart.The task of the off-season is to consolidate the foundation and increase the difficulty. This off-season he is facing promotion, and the pressure is even greater.Training takes more than five hours a day, and the time left for Xu Lingjun to review cultural lessons is naturally infinitely compressed.

In this case, even if Xu Lingjun has the golden finger that he learned once in his previous life, it is useless, so he can only bury his head in studying hard. In other words, he must be proficient in addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, astronomy and geography.

Xu Hangsheng also specifically talked to him, carefully persuading him to give up applying for ordinary classes in high school.It may be because his son has always had good academic performance and has a strong personality. While Xu Hangsheng was worried that his son was under high pressure from high school competitions and would not have time to study too hard. produce a reverse psychology.In this way, the whole conversation process can be described as persuasive and persuasive.

However, Xu Lingjun unexpectedly accepted it quickly.

Xu Hangsheng didn't know about his son's adventure, so he didn't know that many of Xu Lingjun's good grades were due to the accumulation of his previous life, and he could barely survive in junior high school.As for high school, Xu Lingjun is very self-aware, it is 100% impossible to take care of it.In his previous life, he also studied in the physical education class of No. [-] High School in H City. He was injured and retired in the last year before transferring to the ordinary class.In comparison, the academic pressure of the physical education class is much less. Once the season comes, it is very convenient to ask for leave, which is perfect for students like them who are mainly engaged in sports.

On the one hand, his parents and coaches persuaded him not to be too tired from studying and ruin his health. On the other hand, his manager Dong Zhicheng repeatedly emphasized to him that he must take the exam well and not to be too bad to affect his public image. Xu Lingjun had to close the door and turn a deaf ear. Endorse with one heart.

After leaving the customs on the day of the exam, Xu Lingjun felt that he was about to ascend to immortality.

It's better to go skating, he thought with tears in his heart, reading is really exhausting.

Although the admission score for the physical education class is relatively low, after reviewing, Xu Lingjun is confident that he can pass the exam.But anyway, it is also a key high school, so of course we can't be sloppy.The examination room for the senior high school entrance examination was set up in the junior high school where Xu Lingjun studied. Xu Lingjun walked into the campus again after a few weeks, as if it had been a lifetime.

Banners were hung on the school gate again, but this time the congratulations were changed to congratulations to Xu Lingjun, a student from our school, for winning the world championship in the youth group.

Look at this scheming, don't even mention the World Champion of the Youth Group, you must write the word World Champion on it, and the grade will be higher in an instant.

Xu Lingjun, who experienced such a wave last year, has long since learned to take it for granted, and the classmates around him are also much calmer. One is that he had a rich experience before, but the senior high school entrance examination is approaching. He really doesn't care about history or anything.

Fortunately, Xu Lingjun was able to finish the two-day exam with peace of mind.

The senior high school entrance examination is not like the college entrance examination, and the scores are still very fast. Xu Lingjun did well in the exam, plus various bonus points brought by the title of super athlete and the championship of international competitions. Class admission scores.

After passing the score line, a high school in H City requires students to go to the school on the specified day to receive the admission notice with their own ID. Although Xu Lingjun doesn't know what this arrangement is for—why can't they report directly, or send the notice to their homes?

However, the school has made such an arrangement, and there is probably some reason for it. Xu Lingjun is also planning to go to the high school after the morning physical training, and then come back to the ice in the afternoon.Unexpectedly, at this time, he received a call from Dong Zhicheng.

According to Dong Zhicheng, CCTV Sports Channel was going to shoot a program about the daily life of a young athlete. He came to ask Xu Lingjun about his arrangements for the day, and a photographer would follow him for a day.

Xu Lingjun was not very happy when he heard it: "I have to train that day, and I have to go to school to get the admission letter."

"That couldn't be better," Dong Zhicheng said, "I originally wanted to follow you home to take pictures of your summer homework and study life, to show the all-round development of athletes' morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor, so let them follow you directly. Go to school, it's all done in one day. It won't affect your training, just shoot on the side, and you will treat them as carrots."

"The school doesn't allow it to be filmed." Xu Lingjun tried to construct a scene of a big carrot carrying a camera, feeling a little incapable of imagination.

"You don't need to worry about this, you just train well, and we will arrange other things."

Afterwards, Xu Lingjun really put this matter behind her, until the morning when she was going to school to pick up the notice, she saw a few people with cameras suddenly appearing at the ice rink, she didn't think of the show.

Hmm... It seems that the big radishes are here.

As a figure skater, Xu Lingjun has a fairly thick skin. After saying hello, he ignores the onlookers and does flexibility training on his own.Small steps, high leg lifts, back kicks, stride jumps, front and rear cross runs.These trainings are relatively routine, there is nothing worth keeping secret, and it doesn't matter if they are put on the show.

The big radishes were conscientiously filming, and Xu Lingjun was training on the side without saying a word, with an aura that no idler can get close to me.The training room was quiet and peaceful.

When Dong Zhicheng rushed to the Yuhu Club and opened the door, he almost thought it was a silent film.

Suddenly, a ringtone broke the silence. Xu Lingjun stopped and turned off the alarm clock on his mobile phone, moved his wrists and ankles a little, and stretched his arms and legs: "Wait a minute, everyone, I have to pack up and go to school."

The big white radishes got up and began to pack their things. Dong Zhicheng hurried up to greet them. He was familiar with several of the staff members, and within a few minutes they chatted enthusiastically.

"Old Dong, the kid you brought is really hard to get a dull fart with three sticks, can it work?" A director with a cigarette in his mouth joked, "We were shooting while he was there like no one in the room." Where do you practice, do the same movements over and over again, very pious. We are so sleepy that we don’t dare to yawn to disturb him.”

"Athletes don't need to be eloquent, they will be popular if they have excellent grades." Dong Zhicheng smiled meaningfully, "Look at his face again. In this world, as long as the talkative is ugly, he will be glib and good-looking. That's all silly."

The director looked at Dong Zhicheng with an expression of "you've got the truth".

Stuffy gourd Xu Lingjun didn't know Dong Zhicheng had exchanged experience with the director, so he simply took a shower and changed into a baby blue T-shirt.

Although most of the training clothes on the market are black, Xu Lingjun actually doesn't wear such dark clothes on weekdays.Watermelon, red lemon, yellow crab shell and green greet you in turn, with bright colors and conservative styles.Thanks to the snow-white skin that He Feifei inherited to him, he didn't have the effect of wearing too hot eyes.

The photographer is very satisfied with his clothes. It is summer now, and this color has a cooling function, and it is also very photogenic when taken in the sun.

A group of people marched into the gate of No. [-] High School in H City. On the way, the teacher in charge whom Dong Zhicheng had contacted earlier was already waiting at the school gate to arrange for all the idlers except Xu Lingjun.

No matter how calm Xu Lingjun is on the face, he can't help but feel a little embarrassed in his heart. This is not an ice rink, but he is surrounded by several cameras, taking pictures vigorously in front of his face. There is a circle of young teenagers and girls around him, as if watching a zoo. rare animals.

"Who is this person?"

"I don't know, and I brought a photographer with me. Are there any child stars in our school to study?"

"Oh, you don't know, don't you? This must be a celebrity in our high-level sports class. He is engaged in figure skating. I heard that he is also a world champion."

"A man skating that one? Tsk tsk tsk is so sissy! I heard that skating that one is that one!"

"Which is that?"

"Silly! That's the one~~~!"

There were pointing figures and whispering voices all around.

Xu Lingjun felt that it was impossible for him to have a low-key, plain and pleasant high school life.

The author has something to say:

According to the suggestions of the friends in the comments, I left an extra line between each paragraph for everyone to read.If everyone thinks this looks better, I will find time to change the previous articles to this~

When I wrote this paragraph, I was still full of emotions. The author personally thinks that it is better for athletes to receive education in ordinary schools with their classmates. It is not because of the complex of academic masters, but because I think the environment of sports schools is too independent, so many people engage in sports. In the end, only a small group of people at the top of the pyramid made their names. The rest of the athletes did not receive a perfect education after being eliminated, and on the other hand, they often suffered from physical injuries. , life will be difficult in the future.

But it has to be said that with different things in contact with and different angles of looking at problems, the more competitors climb to the top, the more lonely they will be. After all, there will be fewer and fewer people who can understand him.Therefore, the author admires and admires these people who study hard and achieve the ultimate in one thing, endure unimaginable loneliness, dedicate blood and sweat that ordinary people cannot imagine, and finally achieve unimaginable achievements.

---------------Here is the dividing line of small science popularization for thinking about life----------------

About upgrading group:

In fact, our country has not been very active in the promotion of men's singles players. It may be because of the scarcity of figure skating talents.However, the author thinks that there are still many advantages to being promoted to the group early. Only the pk in the strong hands can stimulate the greatest potential. Not everyone is a Russian lolita who can skyrocket their PCS in a season. Most of them have to rely on stable performance, high attendance rate and good programs that suit them.

In the article, the age of 00 will be able to compete with the adult group in the next season. At the same time, all the championships that can be won by the youth group have been won. There is no other reason, and there are Xiaohou and the others behind it.

About Special Athletes, First Athletes, etc.:

It’s all made up by the author, in order for 00 to have sponsored training justifiably

IMG:

This is not made up.Almost half of the well-known figure skaters are signed by IMG, especially the North American faction.The brokerage company is mainly responsible for the commercial activities of the players.My country has signed IMG, and I have the impression of S/Z (Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo). IMG also has the ice performance StarsOnIce, which is the most influential ice performance in North America founded by Scott Hamilton.

I don't know much about the types of players signed by IMG, but it seems that most of them are famous players.However, the author remembers reading the news that Kim Yuna had a falling out with IMG in 07, which proves that she had signed with IMG before then. Signed the contract, so in the article I set the 07 to sign the brokerage company after winning the youth group grand slam, mainly for the convenience of setting up a person to help him take care of various business chores plus sponsorship for him to train (to be honest, practice 00 level players can hardly maintain themselves without sponsorship and advertising).

About the high school entrance examination:

The author himself has never taken the senior high school entrance examination, so how many days and how to take the examination is all nonsense... I have the impression that many schools in my family receive the notice in advance, so I wrote it like this in the article, if it is wrong Please spray lightly

Discussions about the crowd at the end:

This is not something the author deliberately wrote to irritate people.In fact, in the area where the author lives, there are quite a few young people who do not (mei) understand (jian) things (shi) hold this idea, thinking that men should play ice hockey, and those who play figure skating are unmanly reflect.It can only be said that there is still a long way to go for gender equality and LGBTQ equality.

In fact, according to professional figure skaters, even Zijun, Xiangxiang, and Kexin, whose limbs seem limp and weak to us, are all very strong, and they may not be able to lose in a fight with an ordinary man.Figure skaters have put in a lot of hard work and sweat. Figure skating is also a real competitive sport. It is definitely not what many people imagine.
