figure skating king

Chapter 153: The 05 Innsbruck Universiade opened, Yuuri's short chapter ranking is...

In fact, after the figure skating grand prix finals, Victor had already noticed something was wrong with his body.

His voice remained largely the same, but it seemed to gradually grow deeper, he shaved more often, and his joints sometimes ached.

At first he thought that the source of all the discomfort was that after mixing Erguotou and vodka, he tap danced and waltzed naked, made the worst confession in the world and was rejected, and even posted a post after the Russian Championships. Burning for a few days proved that those fussing did have a bad effect on the body.

For this matter, he also entered a state of semi-alcoholic abstinence, drinking some red wine at most before going to bed, but at the beginning of January, he measured his height and found that he was 1cm taller than this time last month, Yakov saw He took his physical examination form and said a word calmly.

"Vicha, your developmental level is here."

For ordinary people, development is not a bad thing, even a good thing, they will be taller and more mature, but for athletes, this is a difficulty that requires great efforts to overcome, because figure skating is a sport that pays attention to fine control sports.

When their body grows rapidly, muscles and fat grow at a high speed, and their body becomes wider and stronger. With the change of body weight, the axis of jumping, take-off and landing, and height will change accordingly. Accumulated previous training to adjust.

Men's singles are better, because men's body fat is generally lower than women's. Gaining muscle also means stronger strength, and a much stronger control over body changes. Women's singles have a tragic developmental barrier.

Because compared with men, women gain more fat during the developmental period. For ordinary women, the fleshy body that can make the body curve more beautiful will slow down their turning speed and poor balance. If the adjustment is not good, they will lose weight. It will start to jump and save weeks, and the stability will become low. In short, there are many incidents where the originally amazing women's singles are developing and closing Shenhu.

Although there are some lucky ones who were not affected during the developmental period, and even gained muscle and strength like boys, the developmental period was relatively smooth, and their jumping ability was even stronger than before, such as the queen Catherine, and a recently rising Korean women's singles, but these are a minority.

In short, there is a saying in the figure skating circle, which is called-the one who develops wins the world, and only after the development is over can there be a bright future, otherwise, it will sink into the lake.

Yakov has been raising bears for many years and has rich experience. He has done a bone examination on Victor before, investigated the height of his parents (the father is 1.9 meters, and the mother is 1.7 meters), and got the "no transfer to men's singles and ice" from Victor. Willingness to dance, hope to continue to develop in single skating" After answering, he was making preparations in advance.

It is very common for those athletes who rely on hunger to maintain their shape and jump at low altitudes to complete their movements at high speeds to fail their development, because the weight they lose is actually muscle, which is definitely not a good thing for athletes, and the premise of high speed is that the body is light enough , Once the development level reaches a skyrocketing weight, the difficulty of adjustment will double.

But the children in Yakov's group are not like this. They have been under strict control since they came to Yakov's hands. They eat nutritious meals specially calculated by the chef, and they do muscle training on time. Even their thighs are a bit thicker than other figure skaters when they go out. They are famous for their super high jumps, and their combat effectiveness is relatively strong.

#Normal figure skaters are actually not very good at playing against the big muscular ice hockey team, but the bears in the Yakov team have fought against the ice hockey team several times before Yuuri joined the team, and they played back and forth , and at that time the Yakov group was only the most united when fighting in groups#

Sufficient muscle strength and a solid and standardized foundation are their greatest weapons against developmental barriers.

Yakov flipped through his notes, and said in a deep voice: "Kosten has been sent to Sandra, please change it more loosely, what you have to do now is to eat well, sleep well, study hard, and work hard. For training, I will temporarily reduce your training volume to ensure that your bones can develop smoothly and healthily during this period until the end of this level."

"Your basics are not bad. Listen to me honestly. The chances of overcoming the development are very high. You are not allowed to train privately unless you want to become a useless person with all joints scrapped, understand?"

It was rare for Victor to obediently nod and agree, and then turned to practice.

At this time, he felt a little rejoicing. Fortunately, when Yuuri and Yuuri entered the space, the size of the prosthetic body was enlarged, and he did training including jumping on land while Yuuri was watching, especially the quality of the intermediate prosthetic body was far superior to ordinary people. He even tried jumping terrestrial 5T with a prosthetic body (he ended up falling super badly).

These are undoubtedly one of his capitals to pass the developmental level, so Victor behaved fairly calmly.

But the rest of the ice rink (except Yuuri) looked at Victor with a little wariness.

The adults in the adult group have already passed the developmental test, so they naturally know how difficult it is. The younger ones have also heard that the developmental test is very powerful, and they will have to pass this natural barrier in the future, so they feel even more disturbed .

What's more, Victor's situation is quite special - the best height for figure skating is between 168-180, if it is too high, it will lead to unstable center of gravity, for this reason there are many men's singles in Shenhu.

Victor was originally 1.7 meters five. Once he developed, who knows how tall he could grow in the end?What if it grows to 1.9 meters like his father!

Fortunately, there are still two months before the World Youth Championship in March. Victor has plenty of time to adjust himself. With his level, no matter how developed he is, he can beat the youth group. Yakov is also nervous about Victor's development It will affect his record when he is promoted to the senior group next year. You must know that next season will be the Olympic year.

而现阶段最被雅科夫盯着的学生既不是在1月21日就要去匈牙利参加布达佩斯欧锦赛的成年组四剑客（乔治、格雷夫、彼得、伊莲），而是要参加1月12日到1月22日的奥地利.因斯布鲁克大运会的、他们年仅12岁的小师弟勇利。

It is unheard of to participate in the Universiade at the age of 12. After all, before Yuuri, there has never been a kid who has been admitted to university at the age of 12 and has the level to participate in this kind of competition. His mentality and physical condition must be watched carefully.

Peter will also participate in this Universiade, but he has been in the senior group for two years, which makes the old coach feel more at ease, and he is considered the most popular candidate for the men's figure skating event in this Universiade.

What's interesting is that the petite and young junior also has the level of winning medals. Others don't know, but his fellow students don't know-this kid can even jump 4T.

And his skating is even as good as George's. In terms of rotation, he also relies on his flexibility to have big killers such as Pearl Turn and Candlestick Behrman. Except for his physical strength, he is basically no worse than Peter. After all, everyone's 4T stability rate Almost, Yuuri's 3A jumps farther than Peter.

So when the old coach watched Yuuri closely, the rest of the ice rink was in a delicate mood, thinking that when Yuuri made a big move, he didn't know how Yakov would react, thinking about it was a little bit of anticipation~

In the early morning of January 1th, Yuuri was carrying his luggage, and was going to return to Japan to attend the athlete swearing-in meeting, and then go to Innsbruck with the Japanese athlete delegation, and then meet the coach there, Yakov also took Peter with him early Went to Moscow.

The person who travels with Yuuri is Alexander. Whenever the season comes, he will go to every game with Yuuri as his exclusive physical therapist, not only to facilitate the entry and exit of minor bosses, but also to help him with various chores. So that Yuuri can focus more on the game.

The kind of tacit understanding and intimacy when facing life and death side by side for many years is undoubtedly what Victor can't dream of now. He watched Lyudmila and her brother say a lot of exhortations, such as "pay attention to safety", "Take care of Yuuri" or something.

Then his other members of the organization here also shouted "Boss, come on!" Victor was just one of them, and until they left, Victor didn't say a word to him.

And the Russian TV station will not deliberately broadcast the situation of Japanese college athletes, and now the Internet is not developed enough to see videos from other countries in various ways. Once they leave, Victor will not see Yuuri for a long time .

He can't follow the past either. Victor found that Alexander, Zoya, and Momo could all travel with Yuuri, such as being a physiotherapist, stylist, nutritionist, etc., but he couldn't. Except for appearing on the field together, he didn't Reason and Yuuri go anywhere.

The reality is that Yuuri probably won't live to make it to the senior division.

He won't live until that time, so Yuuri has to shine ahead of time, so this is why he is desperately trying to participate in the Universiade, he can't wait.

After realizing this unexpectedly, Victor's heart felt as if he had been severely grabbed by a sharp claw, causing pain.

I don’t know if it’s because of the hormonal changes after entering the high-speed development that made his mood less stable. In the subsequent training, Victor was always a little absent-minded. Fortunately, Yakov cut off his jumping training before he left. Most of the time, so Victor avoided the risk of breaking his head during training.

And he is doing boring training over and over again, in the eyes of others, it is an ironclad proof that Victor is deeply in development.

During the break, the second senior brother was also pushed by other people to Victor for psychological counseling (everyone has now agreed that his poisonous chicken soup has a miraculous effect on treating psychological problems).

Greve scratched his head, coughed, and patted Victor on the shoulder: "Actually, there are a lot of things you can do when your development is off. For a while, I went to the gymnastics to borrow a trampoline, and practiced on it for four weeks. Yes. The pressure on the joints is not so great, it’s still fun, and at this time, you can’t do more jumping training on the ice, so it’s just a good time to hone your skating.”

He blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.Oh forgot you don't know how to marry a wife, you are crooked, you like Yuuri the most but he doesn't want to, what a poor child.

Victor was baffled, and felt that Greve's words were as poisonous as ever. He thought to himself that he didn't offend the second brother, so why did he come over and spray poison on himself?

He filled his black frosted thermos cup with water, then slipped to the elder brother's side.

Seeing that he seemed to have something to ask, George immediately stood up straight and was ready to express his brother's patience and concern at all times.

So he heard Victor ask him: "George, every time Jimmy goes on a trip, but you can't keep up, how do you feel? How do you summon up the courage to marry him? Even if you are a cross-border marriage The time to be together is very short, and your future is not bright enough?"

Hey hey hey, what's the problem!What is "Your future is not bright enough?" Is this what should be said about the marriage of a big brother?

Everyone looked sideways, thinking that this kid deserves a beating?Did he forget that the elder brother is also a man who can hit the head of the ice hockey team captain with a folding stool?

George was unexpectedly not angry, because he understood what Victor meant, including what he meant by "Jimmy is going on a trip."

He thought for a while and patted Victor on the head: "I don't feel that way, as long as he is safe, happy, and gets what he wants. As for the courage to get married or something, I can only say that he and I are happy." He has already missed a lot of time, so I want to add a connection between us, so that we have more reasons to be together for the rest of our lives."

"Although even without a wedding and a marriage certificate, I will still be by his side. Anyway, this is love...cough, love."

George was also a little shy while talking. For him who was born well, raised well since he was a child, and should have lived a prosperous and ordinary life in accordance with his parents’ wishes, it was the most unexpected thing in his life to be entangled with Jimmy. , but he doesn't regret it.

Some people can't be missed, and that's what Jimmy is to George.

Victor thought he understood.

It wasn't until noon, when the sports station broadcast the opening ceremony of the Universiade, that this guy cheered up and moved a stool to sit in front of the TV with Nastya, Anfisa, and Georgi.

The Universiade is also known as the Little Olympics. There are traces of the Olympics in many places, including the opening performances, mascots, etc., but because it is held every two years and is limited to college students, the level of participants is not as high as the Olympics. .

The order in which the delegations entered the arena was filmed alphabetically. Japen came in ahead of Russia. Then when the Japen team entered the arena, everyone was watching the TV closely.

Georgi squinted his eyes and looked hard: "Hey, Nastya, did you see Yuuri?"

Nasja said decisively: "No! Anfisa, you have good eyes, did you see it?"

Anfisa said anxiously: "No, he's too short, he can't find his shadow among a group of adults!"

At this moment, Victor slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly, "I found it! It's Yuuri!"

In the next second, the camera turned on Yuuri's face, and the Russian TV commentary said: "This is Yuuri Katsuki who is currently training with Yakov Feltsman. He is 12 years old. His former coach is Lotrieva. It is worth mentioning that he was specially recruited by St. Petersburg State University because he won the imo gold medal this year, and he has already enrolled in September. He is the youngest player in this Universiade."

Another commentator joked: "If he still plans to participate in the Universiade after two years, he will still be the youngest contestant. After all, he was only 14 years old at that time. Look, this oriental porcelain doll looks like Really cute, in terms of appearance, he is second only to Nikiforov among Yakov's students."

Watching this scene, Victor blinked and thought to himself, he should also be in college two years later, and he will also participate in the Universiade by then.

A few days later, the Universiade figure skating men's singles short program began.

Victor sat in front of the TV with his teammates as usual to watch Yuuri's game.

This was Yuuri's first time on the international stage, Yakov stood outside the fender and told him something, Peter, who had finished before Yuuri, held a tissue box for him.

Then Yuuri nodded to Yakov, turned and slid towards the center of the ice, expertly beating his thighs, buttocks, and drawing the word Shi.

Junior brother is wearing gray-black Kosten embroidered with silver thread. Compared with other college athletes, he looks like an out-and-out child. There is an unconcealable childishness between his brows, but his aura is not inferior. to anyone.

The boy closed his eyes, but when the music sounded, he opened his eyes and became the incarnation of the notes. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

Music elves dance, jump, and dance in people's hearts in the dark night, like phantoms in dreams, but standing on the ice with full flesh and blood.

He is so charming.

Yuuri's short program jump arrangement is 3A, 3Lz, 3lz+3lo, without any mistakes.

His 3A is high and far, with a very bold and crisp take-off. The speed in the air is not high, but he has achieved a delayed turn that is difficult for adult players. The ice is stable and he slides out in a beautiful semicircle.

He used the difficult posture of Rippon (raising both hands) when jumping 3lz, and used the difficult posture of Tano (raising one hand) when jumping 3lz+3lo. Others' Tano is jokingly called Whiplash, which means that their arms are like whipping a whip or a noose, but Yuuri's arms are straight when they are raised upwards, with a graceful posture like Brian Boitano.

The boy's skating was impeccable. Since last year, every time Yuuri played in a competition, his footwork evaluation could not be lower than level 4, and level 4 is already the highest level of footwork!

And at the end of the show, when it was supposed to end with a joint spin by convention, he put on an unprecedented spin.

Amid the smooth piano sound of "Bach in G Minor", the boy leaned back and made a bowed turn. Gradually, his body leaned back more widely, and he grabbed the skates with both hands, making a move that has never been seen among men's singles players. Over pearl turn.

Then he held the knife with one hand, his body stood upright, his floating leg was raised above his head, and it turned out to be a single-handed knife Behrman in the shape of a water drop, and this is not the end, after keeping this posture for 3 turns, Yuuri moved both hands At the lower leg, the floating leg is fully extended, like an upright candlestick.

This is currently the only candlestick Bellman that he can complete in the world!

The audience roared, applauding enthusiastically for this extremely difficult and unprecedented spinning posture, and as the music ended, Yuuri took a deep breath.

He scored an astonishing 80.2 points. In the youth group where more than 60 points are considered high scores, this score can only be matched by Victor, and it is even only 1.6 points lower than Victor's personal pb in the short program.

His p-score is extremely high. Viktor has experienced countless changes in mentality this season. He realized that love and life came to him before he made a breakthrough in p-score. But Yuuri's expressiveness, physical appeal, and musical sense Naturally, he can easily become one with the music, and unless the referees are mentally handicapped, there's no way they can't love Yuuri's performance.

Because it was a short program, there was no physical trouble, and Yuuri's technical performance was perfect. The 3lz GOE was almost full, his footwork was smooth and smooth, and his spin was amazing. His Bellman spin posture was unprecedented!

But Yuuri isn't even a member of the youth division!

The 12-year-old boy won the first place in the short program and became famous in the first battle.

After Yuuri saw his score, he hugged Yakov happily, and Yakov also looked very satisfied.

Victor stared blankly at him, at his smiling face, at him surrounded by applause, and at the camera constantly shifting to him, as if the photographer had already understood that this boy was about to become the new focus of figure skating.

This is a rising star with an unprecedented and bright light. He turned out to attract everyone's attention.

Victor didn't pay attention to class again that afternoon, he didn't even know how he got home, and there was only one thought on his mind - he had to see Yuuri, he had to.

So he entrusted Makachin to Taozi and Zoya, hastily packed a suitcase, went downstairs, jumped into a taxi and went straight to the airport, bought a plane ticket and flew towards Innsbruck. @无限好文, all in Jinjiang Literature City

His heart was beating wildly, screaming constantly, he knew that if he couldn't see Yuuri's free skate live, he would regret it for the rest of his life, absolutely!

The author has something to say:

The next day, Anton's deputy coach was furious.

Pearl turn, one-handed knife Bellman, candlestick Bellman... Tsk tsk tsk, this flexibility is good, and Victor will be well-off in the future.

Those who are interested in Gua Zong’s free skating image, you can search for the name “Mushroom Fungus” in Old Ford, Mushroom put Gua Zong’s free skating figure there~

As mentioned earlier, Yuuri's free skating is the real advantage, because his free skating is more full of emotional expression and content. However, because of his physical strength...cough, at this stage, Gua always performs better in the short program.
