Chapter 22: Recreating the Legend
Tohoku Ski Resort
Coach Hou and the well-dressed Gu Shun came to the ski slopes, ready to start teaching Gu Shun to ski.
Gu Shun chose snowboarding, using a snowboard as a carrier to complete a variety of difficult maneuvers on a specified slope or halfpipe.
Of course, those moves are too difficult for beginners, and even world champions have to start with a flat one-legged sliding first.
"Look, I'll just demonstrate it once." Coach Hou explained the skills of skiing and made a demonstration.
Gu Shun had read a lot of books about skiing in Dumbledore's library, and with Coach Hou's demonstration, he quickly integrated this knowledge, just like memorizing a good stroke.
Coach Hou watched Gu Shun complete the learning of basic movements in one time, and secretly congratulated himself that he had indeed found a good seedling.
But gliding on flat ground, riding skis, and maintaining balance are just the easiest things to do, and the learning curve has just begun.
"Learn below, the second move, the J-turn."
Before Coach Hou could start the demonstration, Gu Shun slid down the slope and then applied hard pressure to the front edge of the snowboard, completing a perfect J-turn stop.
"Is that so?" Gu Shun replied.
"No, that's right, that's right." Coach Hou happily praised Gu Shun and praised him as a genius.
"Next Action"
"Next Action"
"Next Action"
……
But gradually, Coach Hou couldn't laugh.
Because Gu Shun's learning is too fast, almost all the movements can be completed excellently by watching them once.
The beauty of the action is so beautiful that a senior coach like Coach Hou can't find fault.
While other beginners are still learning to ride on flat ground
On the first day, he had already learned a series of actions such as S-bend, jumping with both feet, balancing the head and tail of the board, separating the emergency stop up and down, jumping from the head and tail of the board, jumping 180 degrees inside and outside, and grabbing the board in the air.
Coach Hou was directly numb.
He wondered if Gu Shun had been a snowboard in his previous life.
It's too fast to learn.
Even when I first practiced, it took me about a month to master these movements.
On the second day, under the guidance of Coach Gu's doubtful life, Gu Shun completed the box-type props horizontally, with a large and small radius carving, a 360-degree jump inside and outside, and a comprehensive carving of the front and back feet.
By the way, I also took a snowboard mass technical certificate of grade 9.
Coach Hou grabbed Gu Shun's shoulder in disbelief and asked him if he had learned to ski since he was a child.
Otherwise, learning so many movements in one day is simply not something that people can do.
Gu Shun honestly said that his first skiing was on the big air of Linhai Snow Slope, and the second time was here.
Coach Hou had never seen such a talented person.
After only two days of practice, Gu Shun is fully capable of participating in various competitions.
Even if he is still so young, there are infinite possibilities in the future.
Gu Shun then trained here for another 5 days, training all the movements together many times, and at the same time began to practice the difficult snow sports movements on the halfpipe and some slopes.
A week later, Gu Shun returned to Shuimu School to continue his studies.
Gu Shun's life began to run back and forth, while studying in Shuimu and training in ski resorts all over the country.
The professor of Mizuki University was afraid that Gu Shun would suffer hardships, so he persuaded him many times one after another, hoping that he could stay in school and conduct research in peace.
But Gu Shun didn't buy it, he bluntly said that Huaguo needed a breakthrough in skiing, and he wanted to fight for Huaguo to win a championship.
Gu Shun's words deeply encouraged and moved these professors, and their research was not for the sake of the prosperity of China.
I didn't expect to be taught a lesson by an eight-year-old child, but my pattern was smaller.
A year later, Gu Shun was nine years old.
This year, he has traveled all over the country, from the northwest to the northeast, from the plateau to the hills, Coach Hou can always find some wild ski resorts in the summer, and constantly train Gu Shun's various skills.
Gu Shun's extraordinary talent and hard-working personality have made him transform from a novice skier to a professional athlete proficient in various movements and techniques in just one year.
After participating in two national competitions in the junior group and winning the championship with a near-crushing attitude, Gu Shun set his sights on the senior competition.
In addition to skiing, Gu Shun's studies in Shuimu did not fall behind.
It only took him one year to complete the content from the freshman to the senior year of the affiliated major.
If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't completed enough credits, Gu Shun would have graduated now.
On the way to the ski resort, Gu Shun finished answering the test papers of these final exams one by one.
When you arrive at your destination, you can use the post office to mail the test paper back for the instructor to correct.
Gu Shun's exuberant energy made Coach Hou feel a little distressed, and often persuaded him to take a break.
But Gu Shun has integrated the belief of the king of volumes into his genes since he was a child.
In order for Sims to achieve a high rating, he can only continue to break through and surpass human potential to create legends.
……
cracking sound
The sound of firecrackers heralds the arrival of the Chinese New Year.
Gu's father, Gu mother, and Gu Shun's grandparents waited in front of the TV together, and they were not watching the Spring Festival Gala, but a live broadcast of the Gallic Station of the Ski Championship.
This was the first tournament Gu Shun participated in, and at the age of nine, Gu Shun became the youngest athlete among all the competitors.
It stands to reason that Gu Shun can choose to participate in the youth group or youth group at this age, but Gu Shun insists on participating in the adult group.
As the clock struck zero, Gu Shun stood on the big air, and he was the next to play.
The audience and the referees alike were worried about this thin body.
As a coach, Hou Lei recalled the situation when he first met Gu Shun in Shuimu a year ago, and he didn't expect that in just one year, Gu Shun would stand on the stage of the world's highest ice and snow competition from a beginner.
All eyes are on him now, the legend destined to etch his name into the history of the event.
Toot –
With the start of the game prompt sounded too.
Gu Shun took a deep breath, touched his fist with Coach Hou, and then jumped off the big air.
Gu's mother, who was in front of the TV, also clenched her palms worriedly.
Gu Shun's body began to spin deftly in the air, turning one, two, three, four, and five times, and then landed steadily.
The commentator shouted excitedly: "It's 1800 degrees in five weeks, Gu Shun did it, he became the first athlete in Huaguo to complete this action, Gu Shun made such a difficult action in the preliminaries alone, it's incredible." ”
After Gu Shun landed, he gestured to Coach Hou on the jumping platform.
This action was also captured by the camera, and it became the most heartwarming action of this tournament.
Gu Shun's performance was also unanimously approved by the judges, although his flight distance was slightly inferior to those of the adult athletes, and some points were deducted.
But this is only because of the force majeure of his young age, but other than that, his movements are impeccable.
Six judges gave the highest score of the game at 94.20.
All the far-reachers stared at the score in amazement.
They originally thought that Gu Shun was just a man-in-one, but they didn't expect that the most inconspicuous bastard was the biggest dark horse in this game.
Another Chinese athlete did not perform very well and was eliminated in the preliminaries.
Only Gu Shun was left among the Chinese athletes who made it to the finals.
