3a, Axel triple jump, because the take-off direction is forward, it will rotate half a circle more in the air 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 coaches in the system are still vaguely in my ears.
"Young man, your talent is so outstanding. If you can start learning figure skating at the most appropriate 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 before they discovered what their talents are."
"'Missing it' is an eternal regret."
When an adult learns figure skating, the limit on the A jump is two weeks.
Figure skating is such a beautiful and cruel sport. The competitive career of athletes is extremely short. Most men's singles players retire around the age of 27 due to injuries and declining physical fitness.
To learn Tongzi Kung Fu, it is best to start learning and training when you are five or six years old.
A soft smile appeared on the female coach's beautiful face.
"But it doesn't matter, let's move the hands of the clock 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, small, fleshy palms.
He squatted down and touched the ice with his small hands. It was ice-cold and prickly.
This is an unspeakable experience. When he returns to a certain stage of his life, the innocence that disappears with age seems to have returned to his body.
"Now is your best time." The female coach leaned over and rubbed his head, "You are now a six-year-old Yu Nian."
"This is the reward you can get by taking on the next task: first, return to the best time; second, in the field of figure skating, your training results in the system can be brought into reality."
"Now this reward is withdrawn to you in advance. You still need to work hard and train hard. Young man, your rewards will always require your efforts."
As a result, the flow of time slowed down again, and Yu Nian continued to slide, rotate, and jump on the ice simulated in the system space.
The little figure fell down again and again and staggered up again.
His little face was red from the cold, but his eyes were surprisingly bright.
…
Yu Nian stopped thinking and returned his attention to the ice at his feet.
He felt that he was in good condition after dancing this 3a. At this time, during the six minutes of practice before the game, his minute of music had passed. Yu Nian skated to the edge of the ice rink and gave up the center to the next player.
Happy player.
However, everyone's eyes were still focused on him.
The lights above the ice rink exuded soft light, which seemed like a golden crown falling on his soft hair.
He raised his eyes inadvertently, as if he was inspecting his territory.
This white world is his kingdom.
The king glided across his territory at a leisurely pace. Wherever he looked, everything could only bow its head and surrender.
In the ice rink, the audience's whispers and applause stopped. Even the other five players who were still doing the sixth practice on the ice were surprised by Yu Nian's climbing momentum at this moment, and avoided his gaze.
His glide gave way.
The rose soul is gently awakening the girl, hoping that she can dance with him.
His arms swing, the rose clusters embroidered with beads and rhinestones on his shoulders and neck sparkle, and his whole person is like petals swaying gently in the wind.
Such an effortless posture makes people surprised by his flexibility.
After finishing the Yan Shi step, Yu Nian performed the dance movements adapted from the ballet to the beat of the music.
His eyes moved and his face kept smiling, as if his beloved girl was waking up from a deep sleep.
The elf has no gender, he is the elf of the rose, and he is the girl's dream.
He seems real and illusory, and exists between "him" and "she".
After a squatting spin, Yu Nian accurately caught the beat of the music and completed an Axel triple jump followed by a double triple jump.
After landing from his jump, he spread his arms toward the audience, as if inviting them to dance with him.
The girl has woken up, still feeling sleepy, and dances with this unreal flower essence.
His arms are so soft, his jumping movements are so light and dreamy, and he is so soft and cute.
His gaze swept across, and no one was unswayed by it, wanting to step onto the ice and dance with him.
The audience was intoxicated by such a performance, with blushes on their faces.
Qiu Zhengqing stared at Yu Nian. If he was shocked by Yu Nian's 3a at first, then at this time, he was completely fascinated by his artistic expression.
This is a rare talent, his style, and God's favor that countless people can only seek.
His gentle and graceful dance and body movements perfectly restored the soul of the rose that was unknown whether it was "him" or "her".
Every change in his eyes and every expression of his smile are the flower essences teasing the girls in the mortal world.
The dance choreography is both strong and soft, unlike real people, and is full of elven charm and aura.
His artistic expression is unparalleled.
He is the soul of the rose, the dream of the girl in the old days.
As the music came to an end, Yu Nian's movements became more relaxed. He stared at the non-existent girl in front of him, shook his head slowly, and stepped back.
He glides, glides 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 spin, and disappeared into the girl's dream.
The music stops.
The scene became quiet again and again, and a feeling of loss permeated the scene.
It was as if they had become the girls who woke up without seeing the soul of the rose, knowing in their hearts that it was just a dream.
How could something so beautiful be just a dream?
It took a while before someone clapped their hands.
The rest of the audience seemed to be suddenly awakened and burst into thunderous applause.
Their faces turned red and they complained that their cell phone cameras had been taken away by the program crew and they could not record this intoxicating scene in person so that they could watch it again and again in the future.
It turns out that this is the charm of figure skating.
It turns out that this is the charm of Yu Nian.
His light was so dazzling that the audience only regretted themselves for not discovering this young man earlier.
Qiu Zhengqing also hated why he didn't discover this young man earlier.
Amidst the applause, Qiu Zhengqing took a deep breath, with excitement on his face: "Perfect arrangement, perfect expression."
The members of the national team focus on jumping and neglecting gliding and artistic expression during their small training. They are generally good in jumping technology, but they have always been deficient in gliding and artistic expression.
This makes it difficult for them to stand out in the international arena.
In recent years, coaches have realized this. In addition to jumping skills, they have paid more attention to gliding than before. They also require players to learn various dance styles, yoga, Pilates, etc. to improve expression and body coordination.
Sliding is the foundation of this sport and the starting point from which various movements are derived.
Artistic expression is the source of the charm of this sport and the magic weapon to conquer the audience.
Yu Nian's body control in front of him is so skillful and perfect. The skates under his feet are gliding on the ice to be described as silky. This not only brings visual beauty, but also his jumping belt.
To gain enough speed and bring an unparalleled sense of balance to his rotation.
His artistic expression is so amazing, and every move has a natural charm, as if he was born to exist on this ice rink.
Yu Nian bowed to the audience and walked off the ice rink.
The audience was still making reluctant cries of regret, and they were no longer looking forward to the performances of the next five contestants.
They knew there could be no one better than him, he was a treasure on the ice.
"A young man born for figure skating." Qiu Zhengqing looked at Yu Nian's back as he walked off the ice rink and said, "Such a good young man, what does his coach do for a living? Can't you see his talent? Why not treat him like a good boy?"
He was sent to the arena and buried like this?"
In his opinion, with the talent Yu Nian showed just now, if he had been training with the national team, he should have mastered the quadruple jump in his teens.
——He can even jump out of 3a without hesitation, but he has never learned any other triple jumps except 3a.
In the program just now, Yu Nian also showed two types of double jumps: the Philip double jump and the back-out 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 that of some quadruple jumps.
Some athletes can perfectly jump out of the back and outside quadruple jump, but they may not be able to jump out of the 3a-Axel triple jump.
A jump is so difficult.
Qiu Zhengqing came to the conclusion that Yu Nian's talent was amazing, but it was buried by the inactive coach.
He was pacing in place, with a look of anxiety and annoyance on his face: "What a pity! What a pity!"
"If I can discover such a good young talent before he is eight years old..."
"For a figure skater, the golden age of his career has passed, passed."
Chen Hua looked at his teacher and was a little surprised that the national team coach, who had always been unfazed by flattery, was in such a state of anxiety.
But as both coaches, he empathizes with the teacher's feelings.
As Qiu Zhengqing said, this young man was born for figure skating. His talent and performance on the ice are so outstanding and rare.
If he could train and participate in competitions from a young age, he would have been at the top of the ice and snow sports pyramid.
But how old is he now? 20? 22?
At this age, I haven't even mastered the triple jump, let alone the quadruple jump.
His program performance just now was perfect, but in a competition, in terms of technical difficulty, even if it was so perfect, it still wouldn't allow him to win a medal in the competition.
Figure skating is divided into technical points and program content.
If he cannot master at least two quadruple jumps, he will never win a medal.
——Even such a perfect performance.
According to common sense, it is impossible for him to join the national team at his age.
Figure skating is all about boyish skills, which are not honed through competitions of all sizes. The older you get, the more prominent your disadvantages become. There is no such thing as a late bloomer.
There is no such thing as entering a competition as an adult and making progress in this field.
Chen Hua said hesitantly: "Old——"
Qiu Zhengqing raised his hand to stop him and murmured to himself: "But he can dance 3a. How many people can dance 3a? Even if he is older, it is not impossible."
"If I teach in person, it is not impossible to unlock the quadruple jump within a year."
