During the three days of training with Minakura Yu, Shu Ran learned a lot.

The day before the separation, Lin Jiahui posted a group photo on Twitter, in the middle of the photo is Lin Jiahui, her left and right hands on the shoulders of Shu Ran and Yuan Cangyu respectively, with the text: My two proud protégés.

The direct result of this photo is that Shu Ran's popularity has become wider, so that she and Fu Yiqing met many passers-by who asked for a group photo after returning to China on the third day, and at the same time, they also gained a lot of Yuancang royal fans to show their love, of course, the show of love is to tell Shu Ran their feelings for Yuancang Yu.

Shu Ran couldn't help but sigh, this is the charm of the world champion.

After returning to China, Shu Ran did not go back to the villa, but returned to the national team with Fu Yiqing, and once again lived a compact life of training and resting with the players.

It didn't take long for the team tests to begin.

There was no suspense in the women's singles result, and Shu Ran won the first place.

At the same time, the National Figure Skating Championships are getting closer.

The national championships in figure skating have always had few spectators, and the gap between the competition and the usual training is not too big, it is nothing more than the difference between wearing Costen and not performing in it.

Shu Ran changed into a performance costume with the help of the stylist, she looked at herself in the mirror, raised her arms, and tentatively performed the performance, her brows couldn't help frowning.

Fu Yiqing: "What's wrong?"

Shu Ran: "As soon as I exert force, the sequins on the surface of the clothes will prick my hands." ”

Fu Yiqing grabbed her arm, pressed her big palm, and frowned, "This time I will wear this game first, and other problems will be solved together after the game." ”

Generally, the performance costume is comfortable, fitted, and good-looking, and it will be used for several games in a row, and if it does not fit, it will be immediately changed to a spare performance costume, of course, the spare performance costume also needs to be practiced before it can continue to be used.

At present, there are few women's singles talents in China, and Shu Ran can be regarded as the best among them, and the rest of them are expected.

So neither she nor Fu Yiqing are worried about the result of the game.

It is precisely because of this that Shu Ran was able to regain the attention of the Ice Association not long after his comeback.

When it was Shu Ran's turn to warm up, she walked out of the backstage, only to hear a shocking roar suddenly sound in the ice rink that seemed empty just now.

"Shu Ran!"

Shu Ran raised her head, her eyes turned around, and she was stunned for a moment.

There are only 100 people in the audience at most at one time at the national championships, and most of the ice fans are for Zhu Hongzhe and Chen Lecheng in the men's singles, the women's singles competition is not fierce, and there are few strong athletes, so it is generally the turn of the women's singles, and the audience has almost left, even if they have not left, they rarely cheer for the women's singles players.

But now, there are 200 spectators on the field, to say the least.

The men's singles short program ended two hours ago.

Could it be that the audience stayed to watch her performance?

No, they still have lanterns and banners in their hands, which is obviously prepared.

Shu Ran whispered, "What's the situation?" ”

Fu Yiqing's gaze also swept the audience and raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you have a lot of ice fans." ”

I heard an abrupt female voice suddenly sound on the field, "Shu Ran! we are here to cheer you on instead of your senior brother!"

Shu Ran was a little stunned.

Brother?

To put it mildly, in fact, the members of the same team are all Shu Ran's classmates, so from a certain level, Zhu Hongzhe and Chen Lecheng can also be regarded as Shu Ran's senior brothers.

But in China, the only brother who can have such a great appeal in the unpopular event of figure skating is Genkura Yu.

It seems that Lin Jiahui tweeted the credit for the photo of the three of them.

"Thankfully, I didn't make a fool of myself. She twitched the corner of her mouth, turned her head and smiled helplessly at Fu Yiqing, "In the past, my fans were all fans of me, but now, they are fans of me for my senior brother." ”

Fu Yiqing chuckled, "At least for now, you are a popular player in this arena." ”

Shu Ran tilted her head and thought about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with saying this.

On the first day of the short program, Shu Ran performed with ease, with only one jump error, Goe deducted one point, and the final score of the short program was 70.74 points, about 10 points higher than the second place.

This result is not too good, but because the score difference is too large, it has caused the ice fans on the field to scream again and again.

For a moment, Shu Ran felt the pride of a superstar.

On the second day of the free skate, Shu Ran once again won the first place in this field, winning the national championship for the 2024-2025 season with an overwhelming overall score of 210.05 points.

The second place of the day was Du Yi, the little junior sister who withdrew from the national team, and her comprehensive score was 179.62 points, 30 points lower than Shu Ran.

Under the new rules, the highest score of the international women's singles player is still held by a Russian player, and the last Winter Olympic champion Nadilova is also a Russian player, and the current highest score in the women's singles is 240.41 points, which was set by Nadilova's sister Soskova at the Grand Prix a year ago, and no one has been able to break it so far.

For the Russians, the competition between their own players is quite fierce.

And Du Yi can be regarded as one of the best players in China except for Shu Ran, and her results are only at the lower middle level in international competitions, which shows how big the gap between domestic and foreign players is.

Fu Yiqing was worried about Shu Ran's foot injury, so he didn't sign her up for too many competitions this season, only prepared to let her participate in the Grand Prix, and when the Grand Prix finals were over in early December, he let Shu Ran retreat for training, and then at the end of the season, he would participate in another World Championship, and the task of this season would be completed.

Not long after the end of the national championship, the Grand Prix series also began.

Shu Ran signed up for the popular station, Canada and Japan.

These two stops are the most competitive, but since Shu Ran's goal is the Winter Olympics, the Grand Prix race is nothing.

After only half a month between the two races, they flew to Japan after successfully winning the Canadian race, and after less than 10 days of training after returning home.

On the Japanese station, Shu Ran made a small mistake and only took third.

As mentioned before, with the retirement of the previous generation of women's singles players and the new rules, the competition environment has changed even more than before.

In the last Winter Olympics, Nadilova was like a dark horse, she performed a series of difficult moves in the performance, and the basic score of the difficult movements was higher, and the total score was naturally higher, so she surprised everyone and won the Winter Olympics championship that year.

After the implementation of the new rules, the Russian women's singles players even challenged the quadruple jump, and the score directly exceeded that of some male players.

If the base score of the technical moves is not changed, the success of these youngsters will only force more players to choose the technical winning method that will hurt them more.

Compared to the older players, the young players are light and not yet developed, and they have a greater advantage to challenge difficult movements, which means that the overall age of the players who appear on the field in the future will be younger and younger.

Shu Ran finally understood why Fu Yiqing attached so much importance to the bet with Quentin before.

In the long run, the faces of women's singles players on the international stage will become more and more immature, and the careers of women's players will only get shorter and shorter.

Judging from the current competition, Russian female players have won almost all international championships, and in addition to Nadilova and Soskova, the strength of their other colleague Evelyn should not be underestimated.

In the end, Shu Ran ranked fifth in the cumulative points of the two sub-competitions and successfully entered the grand prix finals.

Nadilova and Evelyn also made it to the final.

However, Soskova, the women's singles world record holder, did not participate in this season's Grand Prix, and it was heard that she was recovering from an injury.

Shura believes Soskova is preparing for the World Championships.

The remaining three players entering the GPF are Canada's Priscilla, Japan's Sayaka, and the United States' Zhang Ziqing.

Christina failed to qualify for the GPF due to a major mistake.

Even though Shu Ran's goal is only for the Winter Olympics, she still hasn't let her guard down, and the five athletes she meets will be her competitors in the next Winter Olympics, so she must go all out in this competition.

At the beginning of the short program, Shu Ran successfully won the applause of the audience with her signature 3A, adding 1.69 points to the execution of the action, and the footwork and rotation behind were perfect, and the following steps were set by the referee as level four, and finally ranked first on the court with zero mistakes.

At this time, last Winter Olympic champion Nadilova finally appeared.

Although Nadilova has participated in the Winter Olympics with Shu Ran, due to the order of appearance, Shu Ran has not seen Nadilova's performance.

Just watched Nadilova's skating video on the Internet.

Overall, Nadilova's scoring point is that the difficult action is intensive, there is almost no time to rest, and the whole show is full, although there is no beauty of appreciation, but the score will be very high.

But Nadilova's biggest problem is that her jumping power is not her legs, but her arms spinning, which look like she's pulling on the ground, which is physically demanding and injury-prone.

So her jumps are arranged in the first half, and the second half is dominated by footwork and spin.

Today's opening of Nadilova is also a triple-A, but unlike Shu Ran's lightness, her falling ice is a little bulky, but the program arrangement still continues the previous model.

Shu Ran's brows were tightened backstage, her eyes followed the figure on the TV screen, and she knew in her heart that the victory or defeat of this GPF had been decided.

She simply turned her head away.

Fu Yiqing understood her performance as a loss, and affirmed, "Your performance is more beautiful." ”

"But I still lost. ”

It's an era of looking at results, and scores mean results.

She turned her back to him, her voice was a little muffled, Fu Yiqing couldn't see her expression, and was trying to comfort her, but she heard a monstrous shout suddenly burst out in front of her.

The two of them turned around and saw on the TV, Nadilova fell to the ground, curled up, with a painful expression, and did not get up for a long time.

Melodious music is still playing, but the performance has been interrupted.

The staff immediately set up the rescue team and entered the venue on stretchers.

Shu Ran looked at the TV with a solemn expression.

"Coach Fu. There was something called forbearance in his voice.

Fu Yiqing couldn't help but look at her, only to hear her continue: "Let's add a little more bet." ”

He looked puzzled.

Shu Ran turned sideways, her eyes dark and shining, "Change the difficulty composition of my show, right?"

Fu Yiqing lowered his eyes, "Are you sure?"

She raised her eyebrows, a faint smile on her lips, "Since you are ready to come back, you should take a gamble, even if you can't win the Winter Olympics, at least it will change this deformed environment." ”

Fu Yiqing was still a little hesitant.

Shu Ran emphasized, "This is really our last chance. ”

Fu Yiqing pondered for a moment, then raised his eyes to meet her gaze, "Okay, but you must listen to my arrangement." ”

Shu Ran stepped forward, forcibly raised Fu Yiqing's hand, and quickly high-fived him with the other hand, "No problem!"
