On November 24th, there is less than a week left until the Youth Figure Skating Grand Prix Finals.
Ice fans in Russia and the United States began to build momentum, and the United States began to promote their talented girl Liu Meixian.
The first American women's singles to complete the 4Lz, the youngest U.S. champion (13 years old), and the first women's singles to complete both the 3A and the quadruple jump in one program (2019 JGP America).
Liu Meixian, who is at her peak, has a top women's singles configuration of 3A in the short program and 3A 4Lz in the free skate! Even Camila before the injury had to rely on her on-the-spot performance to defeat Liu Meixian...
Just when Russian ice fans were eager for Camila to respond positively, a piece of news from Russian public television completely extinguished their hopes.
"According to the latest news from this station, Kamila Valiyeva, who is preparing for the Grand Prix Finals, will not include 4-week jumps and 3A in the free skate due to injuries! Russia may lose the Youth Grand Prix for the first time in 10 years
Women’s singles champion!”
Russian Public Television is roughly equivalent to China’s Central Television. This news was endorsed by Russian Public Television. No one doubted the authenticity of this news, and no one doubted that it was a smoke bomb! Russian ice fans were in mourning for a while...
The news from Russian public television reached the United States immediately, and a large number of American ice fans began to prepare to go to Turin, Italy to watch Liu Meixian's coronation live!
…
On November 29th, the Youth Figure Skating Grand Prix Finals officially begins!
After the women's singles short program on the first day, the top three are:
First place was American player Liu Meixian with 71.19 points;
The second place was Russian player Mei Qiuqiu, with 70.15 points;
Third place was Kamila from Russia, with 69.40 points.
…
Judging from the scores, Mei Qiuqiu has more hope of defending Erluo's honor! She is 1.79 points behind Liu Meixian. Camila, who cannot perform four weeks in the free skate, seems to have become a dispensable and marginal figure!
During the women's singles free skating competition the next day, Camilla and Sister Mian sat on the sidelines waiting.
Since Camila was the first to appear in the short program, according to the rules, she will be the last to appear in the free skate.
Liu Meixian, who was only 1.04 points ahead of Mei Qiuqiu in the short program, made her fourth appearance. In order to ensure the final victory, she went directly to the difficulty level in this competition, performing double 3a and two advanced quadruple jumps!
Unexpectedly, Liu Meixian made a mistake and fell in the first 3a. In the following games, her mentality exploded and she made frequent mistakes. All four jump GOEs (execution points) were negative, and she only scored 133.46 points in the end.
For a moment, Russian ice fans seemed to see hope of winning! As long as Mei Qiuqiu, the fifth player to appear, performs normally, it is entirely possible to turn defeat into victory.
Unfortunately, Mei Qiuqiu failed to withstand the pressure and made many mistakes, ultimately only scoring 130.22 points.
When the results of Mei Qiuqiu came out, Liu Meixian, who was originally anxious, hugged her coach excitedly! The American audience stood up and applauded Liu Meixian!
"You did it! You did it! You will become the number one women's singles player in the United States!"
"This is the beginning. Next, you will win the World Youth Championship, then the Senior Championship until the Winter Olympics!"
"..."
When the camera showed Liu Meixian and her coach, a petite figure silently stepped onto the ice and began to warm up! It seemed that everyone had forgotten that the last person was not on the stage for the free skate!
Maybe no one has forgotten it, but they just selectively ignored it... After all, Camila, who can only do triple axels, can't surpass Liu Meixian!
On the ice rink, Camila's eyes exuded firm and fiery eyes!
Three Russians, including Mei Qiuqiu, have all been killed by Liu Meixian. She has once again become Russia's last hope!
It wasn't until Camilla's free skating program started that Liu Meixian regained her composure. With a smile on her face, she began to look at Camilla's program with the eyes of a winner! Soon her smile froze on her face...
Liu Meixian's mistake gave Camilla hope!
As long as she makes every move, every jump, and every rotation to the limit, she can win! This is a must-have performance! If there is a negative GoE score, she will lose all her previous efforts!
The first 2a was a perfect landing at the beginning. Camilla scored 1.04 GOE, plus Bv (basic score) 3.3, for a total of 4.34 points.
Compared with Liu Meixian's fall of 3a [8(Bv)-4(GOE)], Camilla recovered 1.34 points
…
Who says you can't do a triple jump or a quadruple jump?
Low configuration versus high configuration, who says you will lose?
Camila just relied on her outstanding performance to recover the basic points and short program points little by little! In the final stage of the competition, the point difference between Camila and Liu Meixian was only 0.03 points!
The balance of victory went to Camilla, because the final stage was a jump joint spin!
The index finger of her right hand was scratched by the skate again, but this did not stop Camilla from winning!
Swallow spin, side squat, windmill spin, face-covering Y pose, and Camilla's strongest - Bellman spin!
After the performance, all the audience stood up and applauded her! Even the American audience was no exception. No one expected that this female doll who had been ignored by them would actually counterattack!
She did it! She used her performance throughout the game to safeguard the glory of Russia's women's singles!
With a BV configuration score difference of 13.98 points, Camila scored 138.45 points in the free skate, overtaking Liu Meixian in one fell swoop to win this precious gold medal!
Camilla couldn't help but kiss the left bracelet, and then looked towards the audience above the referee's seat. Although she couldn't see clearly, she knew her brother was there!
The brother who has been with me for two months is there!
…
In the stands, Li Yuang also looked at Camilla on the ice rink.
No one can succeed casually, and no one knows what Camilla has been through in the past two months!
From injury to recovery to normal training; from the inability to accept losing the quadruple jump to compromise to polishing every detail!
Camila puts all her energy into figure skating!
Li Yuang believes that after this injury, Camilla will definitely be reborn from the ashes. Even if what Bing Dundun said happens, she will not be knocked down!
After Camila's game ended, Li Yuang said hello to everyone in the Crystal Palace the next day and got on the plane back home. Although Wang Meng asked Li Yuang to gather in Shanghai on December 5, Li Yuang, who had "missed work" for two months, felt that
, I'd better go back early.
"Brother, is that Li?"
"Which Li?"
"Chinese team Li Yuang..."
"Isn't he injured? How could he be on the plane from Hungary to China?"
"Brother, he was on a plane from Italy to China, and Hungary was just a connecting flight..."
In the misty lake, Li Yuang seemed to hear someone discussing him. He looked around with half-closed eyes, and found that it was the Liu brothers who sat across from him...
Li Yuang didn't want to explain why he was here, so he could only close his eyes and continue to pretend to sleep.
Shanghai Station? On the plane from Hungary to China, I always feel like I have forgotten something...
