Figure skating consisted of a short program and free skating. Not all athletes could enter the free skating stage. Sometimes, they would be eliminated in the short program.
In the short program, only the top 24 people had the chance to enter the free skating stage.
The difference between the short program and free skating was that the short program was a set of movements for drawing lots. Free skating not only required a longer time, but also allowed more movements. The latter was more creative.
"3 different jumps 3 different rotations 2 different footwork, I wonder what I will get.”
" There are only three types of basic rotations: Swallow, Squat, and Upright. The Swallow is a T-shaped body. Squat is a straight leg. Upright is more difficult. It requires one to stand on one foot and back up with one foot in a straight line. Moreover, both hands have to grasp the heels. Based on these three basic rotations, there are more than ten types of rotations.”
"There are many types of jumps, such as back-to-outside ice jump, back-to-inside ice jump, back-to-inside loop jump, back-to-outside loop jump, hook jump, etc.”
"There are Crab Steps, Abalone Steps, Swallow Steps, etc."
……
Ring ring ring
Someone chose a Bubugao advertisement song, and this familiar melody rang out in the audience, intoxicating them in their memories.
The accompanying songs for figure skating were chosen by the athletes themselves. This way, they could better match the dance steps and make it more rhythmic and charming.
This song had been passed down through many people's childhood.
When she heard this song, she seemed to think of that familiar beautiful face, the beauty who was immersed in the ocean of music with a backgammon.
3 Spinning, 3 Jumping, and 2 Steps. There were too many combinations that could be combined. Everyone didn't care, but they just hoped that they didn't get the upright spinning or Crab Steps.
Jumping was jumping, and spinning was spinning. Some athletes liked to make it more difficult for themselves. Spinning while jumping was already a very complicated thing in the figure skating industry.
The men's individual skating match soon began.
Everyone was excited and energized.
They lined up in a row.
Coach Li asked the athletes to draw lots one by one.
" Chen Ge, three rotations: After the outer ring jump, after the inner ring jump, before the outer point ice jump. There were two footwork, Crab Footwork and Swallow Footwork.”
" Hu Cheng: Three rotations: Swallow Rotation, Squatting Rotation, Standing Rotation, Three Jumps: There were two footwork steps: Crab Steps and Swallow Steps."
" Ye Feng: Three Spinning: Jump Reverse, Change Foot Spinning, Stand Up Spinning, Three Jumps: There were two footwork steps: Crab Steps and Abalone Steps."
Coach Li read out everyone's short program assessment items. Every skater had their own set movements, and they were not allowed to freely perform during this period.
Chen Ge walked out and shook his head. He hammered his thigh and said to Coach Lee,"
"I might not be able to do the upright rotation. It requires a single-legged horse and both hands to hold the heels. It's too difficult. My current body flexibility is not up to par, so I need to practice more.”
Coach Li seemed to have known that Chen Ge would be disheartened. He patted Chen Ge on the shoulder and smiled.""Don't be afraid. This is just a test. Let me see your strength. Whether you will be speed skating, short track speed skating, or figure skating in the future will depend on the results of this test.”
Without a certain degree of flexibility, it was impossible to perform flowery movements. For example, crab steps, upright rotations, and the lift and joint rotations of the pas de deux all required a certain level of dance foundation.
"Ready!"
“biu！”
Coach Li fired the starting gun.
This time, it was Chen Ge who went onstage. His expression was a little nervous, and his favorite song, Ulan Bato's Night, was playing. Chen Ge slowly slid in a beautiful arc, and his heels slowly rose.
Chen Ge, you can do it!"
His companions cheered.
Chen Ge calmed himself down. First, he did a bow spin, and then he did a squat spin. Chen Ge slowly squatted down, and then, when he was doing the upright spin, Chen Ge tried his best to lift his hind legs, but he could not lift them up. There was no point in being anxious.
Bang!
Chen Ge had failed in the end!
"Hu Cheng, it's your turn."
Coach Li ordered.
Hu Cheng had also drawn the upright spin. The split-back spin was too difficult for him. He couldn't even do the split-back, let alone spin.
"Coach, can we change to another one?”Hu Cheng asked timidly.
"I'll change it for you now. When the official competition comes, can you still change the one you drew?”Coach Li frowned.
Therefore, Hu Cheng had no choice but to face the difficulties. Although he was confident in himself, Hu Chen couldn't help but feel a little guilty about having to do so many difficult movements at once. Also, the back-and-outside ice jump was too difficult. Wasn't this the rhythm of falling?
The so-called front and back, inner and outer ice jump was determined by the position of the ice blade. Front and back referred to the front and back of the ice blade, and inner and outer referred to the inner and outer sides of the ice blade.
"Ready!"
“biu！”
Hu Cheng took a deep breath. He did not have much confidence in his body's flexibility, and as expected, the moment he started spinning, he was like a spinning top that had lost control. He slid to the edge of the stage, and he was eliminated before Chen Ge.
Coach Li sighed.
Now it seemed that there was no one to succeed him.
At this moment.
Ye Feng walked out and looked at Coach Li without any nervousness.
It was about to begin.
The surrounding companions were rather excited.
Ye Feng could be said to have the best flexibility among them.
"How long do you think Ye Feng will be eliminated?”
"Eliminated? I feel that Ye Feng can complete the entire set of standard movements.”
"You think so, but what about the truth? None of us can complete the upright spin, I can guarantee it.”
Chen Ge and Hu Cheng, who had retreated, looked at Ye Feng, who was in the center of the arena.""I believe that he can do what we can't.”
At the same time.
biu！
Coach Li pulled the trigger of the starting gun.
Ye Feng started to feel slippery.
This was Ye Feng's first time officially starting figure skating, he was a little excited for some reason, before he officially started, he found out that figure skating was divided into short programs and free skates, the short programs had a fixed time, 2 minutes 40 seconds 10 seconds.
The piano song to defend the Yellow River sounded!
This was the song that Ye Feng had requested to play!
Whether it was a short program or free skating, the athletes could choose their own songs.
Ye Feng's standard squatting and spinning posture stunned his companions, this was a crushing defeat, at least he did not fly out from the start.
Ye Feng swung his arms lightly, spinning and jumping, closing his eyes, it was not like he was completing a mission, but rather, it was a form of enjoyment.
His companions held their breaths.
