Although Qin Liubei has been busy with marriage recently, he has not forgotten to expand his data database.

After learning about the players in the new season, he immediately analyzed the current situation for Shu Ran and Fu Yiqing.

Of the remaining 32 players excluding Shu Ran and Christina, the performance of nine of them should be focused on.

Qin Liubei's screening criteria are: physical explosiveness, comprehensive strength, and program difficulty.

Only nine players reached one of the three categories.

If Nadilova also participates, it will be 10 people.

Qiao Zhenlingna, who is in the same group as Shu Ran, and Zhang Ziqing of the United States are naturally among them, and among the remaining seven, two are Russian players, two Japanese players, one Canadian player, one British player, and Belgian player Efetinha, who is one year younger than Shu Ran.

Before coming to Finland, Qin Liubei and Fu Yiqing had already studied ten players, including Nadilova.

"But I just have to be myself. Shu Ran's gaze wandered back and forth between Qin Liubei and Fu Yiqing, "Isn't it?"

Qin Liubei lowered his eyes, "That's right. After all, the performance only needs Shu Ran to complete it alone, and knowing the characteristics of other opponents is no good or bad for her, it is nothing more than to make her more confident in her heart.

Hearing this, Shu Ran felt more at ease, and smiled comfortably, "In that case, there is nothing to analyze." ”

Qin Liubei was stunned, it sounded fine, but if this was the case, then what did Fu Yiqing let him spend so much time collecting information?

He then turned his head to look at Fu Yiqing, seeking his opinion.

Fu Yiqing: "Then be it." ”

Shu Ran didn't know, Qin Liubei could not blame her, but to the culprit himself, Qin Liubei showed a mysterious smile, and his smile showed a bit of gnashing of teeth.

Fu Yiqing turned a blind eye to this.

Qin Liubei breathed out internal injuries.

The opening skating was at 3 p.m., and in a tense atmosphere, the men's singles short program competition started first.

Compared with the women's singles, which competes in flexibility and beauty, the collective quadruple jump of the men's singles players has become a major attraction.

Zhu Hongzhe and Chen Lecheng performed quite well today, especially Zhu Hongzhe, and the short program of Gencang Yu is only one point apart, which makes the Chinese audience on the scene see hope, in the face of the god-like opponent Yuancang Yu, as long as Zhu Hongzhe performs well in the free skate tomorrow, maybe the gold medal at the World Championships is not impossible at all.

The men's singles short program is followed by the women's singles short program.

Shu Ran slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, and her heart lake was quiet.

Originally, Shu Ran was ready to spend 120,000 points of energy to compose a show with the difficulty of the new choreography to compete well, but Dr. He's words made her have another idea in her heart.

Foot injuries can recur at any time.

Is it necessary for her to put herself at risk in order to compete with technical players?

Shu Ran wasn't sure.

Suddenly, a hand shook in front of him, "In a daze again?"

Seeing that it was Fu Yiqing, she returned to her indifferent expression just now, "You say, is it necessary for me to use the newly arranged program to compete?"

Fu Yiqing understood what she meant at the moment, he barely thought about it, and blurted out, "Follow your own thoughts, the advice I can give you is that the short program does not use new difficulty components, because even if you take the first place, the score difference will not be too big, just like Gencang Yu and Zhu Hongzhe, today their short program score difference is only one point, but after tomorrow's free skate, if there is no accident, the score difference will definitely be more than 10." ”

Shu Ran instinctively replied, "What if there is an accident?"

Fu Yiqing: "Then Zhu Hongzhe's silver medal will be in danger, and he may be squeezed to third place by American players." ”

Third, if I remember correctly, in the last Winter Olympics, Zhu Hongzhe won the third, and in the last Winter Olympics, Zhu Hongzhe also won the third.

If he takes another third, he should be very unwilling, right?

Wait, why do you still care about other people's affairs, and your own problems haven't been solved yet!

Fu Yiqing didn't notice her little bit of caution, he continued, "So there is no need for the short program, the rest depends on how others perform in the free skating tomorrow, and then look at Chen Jiahe's ranking, if her ranking is not bad, then fight hard, the ranking is too low and there is no need to fight again." ”

The so-called fight means to help the Chinese team win two places in the Winter Olympics, and the sum of the two best players in the same country is less than or equal to 28 points, so you can still fight.

Fu Yiqing means that it is no problem to pull a handful in the direction that he can, but if he tries his best to pull a handful, if he causes old injuries again, the gains outweigh the losses.

Shu Ran understood what he meant, and nodded to indicate that tomorrow's free skate would be decided depending on the situation.

While waiting for the players to play, Shu Ran stared at the players backstage for the final training.

In the blink of an eye, it was the turn of the last group to warm up.

Shu Ran only glanced at the current short program rankings on the court, and only saw that the top two flags were Russia and Belgium.

There are three Russian competitors, the first place is either Soskova or Evelyn, but there is only one Belgian, Efitinha.

In the following time, Shu Ran calmed down to warm up and feel the ice.

The sound of skate blades rattling across the ice made a six-minute warm-up.

Shu Ran is 22 years old, and for the past sixteen years of training, she has spent her life on the ice, and countless six minutes make up her boring life, but those six minutes end too quickly.

Finally, the short program that will determine the qualification for the Winter Olympics has finally begun.

In general, in large international competitions, the last two groups are inherently known as the "group of death", so the last two groups are the most closely watched, and the top three teams are usually decided in these two groups.

Christina performed "Phantom of the Opera", a piece that has been skated almost every season, and it is even more difficult for an artistic player like Shu Ran to skate brilliantly, but for a player like Christina who eats by skill, it doesn't matter if the show is bad or not.

The performance costume is black and red, as if to tell her enthusiasm, in the rotation, black and red blend, her enthusiasm makes people want to get closer, but the too dazzling black makes people daunting.

Christina's thighs exploded as usual, struggling to leap in the first climax of the opening round, and the 3A steadily landed on the ice.

The movements of the short program are prescribed, so the score is not very large.

Christina's final score in the short program was 79.76.

0.86 points ahead of Soskova.

The short program was a shortcoming for Christina, and after another three years of training, she has made up for it.

Later, Qiao Zhenlingna's performance was Tchaikovsky's "June Boat Song", perhaps because of the pressure on Christina's results, Qiao Zhenlingna's performance looked a little inadequate, and there were many mistakes, and the final score was 68.32 points, ranking eighth.

Shu Ran has watched Zhang Ziqing's performance, she has always served a bowl of water very flat, rarely makes mistakes, but it is difficult to be impressive, she chose the former of the 2A or 3A requested, and the basic score was low, and she was ranked outside the top five.

Taking advantage of the gap between Zhang Ziqing's equal points, Shu Ran happened to see the real-time ranking on the big screen.

Chen Jiahe ranked 26th.

Shu Ran was taken aback, Chen Jiahe didn't even enter the free skate!

Shu Ran's decision was made quickly, and as soon as she came on the stage and spun around and settled in the middle of the ice, she immediately decided not to use the difficulty of the latest choreography to compose the show.

The voice on the radio introduced Shu Ran, "Shu Ran, from China, "Masquerade Waltz"

Different from Shu Ran's previous performance style, fast-paced music, although the dark red performance costume is not as bright as the big red, this darkness gives Shu Ran's whole person a hint of darkness.

She strides quite big with every step, just stepping on the music point, and the opening is also a 3A, but it is obviously different from Christina's 3A, whether it is the jump height or the ease seen by the naked eye, Shu Ran is better.

Fu Yiqing, who was outside the court, raised his clenched fist, his tense heart slackened after Shu Ran landed on the ice perfectly, and his eyes rose to reveal a smile.

A moment later, his heart changed again with Shu Ran's movements.

Looking at Shu Ran's performance, the corners of Fu Yiqing's mouth gradually rose.

The emotions of the audience have been driven by Shu Ran's performance, and they spontaneously applaud and join the rhythm of the music.

This season, Shu Ran's choreography has undergone a great change, the whole show is a highlight, when spinning, the dark red skirt forms a phantom in the high-speed rotation, the color of the performance costume and the rotation speed are combined, which is more dazzling, the change of footwork is like flowing water, and the graphics drawn by the ice blades on the ice surface also make full use of the ice surface.

The whole piece is always in a climax, beginning with unpredictable succession and ending with a joint spin with high-speed changes.

At the end of the rotation, Shu Ran set the final move.

clean！

Shu Ran completed the performance without any mistakes!

The audience erupted in earth-shattering cheers, and the audience spontaneously stood up to applaud Shu Ran, and many ice fans quickly threw dolls on the ice to show their support.

Shu Ran's chest rose and fell and wheezed, and a smile was already on his lips, bowing to everyone while helping Bing Tong pick up the doll.

She didn't plan to take the doll, but the koi fish that have become popular recently are really eye-catching, and Shu Ran finally took the koi fish to appear.

After taking the skate suit from the staff, Fu Yiqing waited at the door.

He stretched out his arms, hugged her, and chuckled, "Good performance." ”

The player himself can feel how well the player is performing.

Shu Ran joked, "Can you add chicken legs tonight?"

"I should be able to return home. ”

Fu Yiqing quickly stroked the top of her hair and put it on her shoulder, Qin Liubei walked on the other side of Shu Ran, and the three of them walked to the equal seats together.

Shu Ran sat down, pulled a tissue to wipe her sweat, and then poured a large mouthful of water, and the disordered heartbeat slowly began to return to its original heart rate.

I heard the sudden increase in cheers from the audience.

Realizing that the camera was already aimed at him, Shu Ran held the water glass in her hand, waved her hand vigorously at the camera, and smiled.

Everyone's eyes were on the big screen, waiting for Shu Ran's final short program results.

A series of numbers leap into view.

Shu Ran covered her mouth, and her eyes showed surprise.

The radio immediately reported, "Shu Ran's short program scored 82.86 points. ”

Everyone gasped, followed by a deafening exclamation of surprise, like a blessing, but also more like approval.

At the scene, the media from other countries turned their cameras and pointed at Shu Ran, the girl who had broken the world record and broke the world record again.
