Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

While waiting for the results in the waiting area, the scores came out quickly. He scored 124.37 points in the free skate and 198.75 points in the total, ranking first.

Coach Qian excitedly hugged Du Liangchen, who was still in a daze.

The crowd erupted in uproar, unable to comprehend why such a complete stranger had won first place.

Not only were they confused, but Du Liangchen himself was also quite confused.

While recovering his strength and waiting to receive his award, he listened to the congratulations from other athletes.

Although Hao Shuxue was disappointed to be ranked fifth, he was excited to pick up Du Liangchen and spin him around when he learned that Du Liangchen was in first place.

"Wow, you're amazing, Sisi! You won the championship in your first international competition! That's incredible!"

Coach Li: "I never expected that Xiao Chen could win the championship even though he was still recovering from motion sickness. It's truly inspiring."

Coach Qian: "Yes, nobody knows how he managed to withstand the pressure and finish the game."

Du Liangchen was a little embarrassed by the praise.

"Coaches, please stop praising me. If you keep praising me, I'll get carried away. Maybe I was just lucky and performed exceptionally well."

Following the staff's instructions, Du Liangchen stepped onto the podium and felt a surge of energy as he looked at the medal hanging around his neck.

In the post-match interview, Du Liangchen answered the reporters' difficult questions with ease.

Thinking back to how sleepy he was during the short program and how he had to force himself to stay awake while receiving his small medal backstage, he was much more energetic today.

On the way back, the coach never let go of his phone.

Although Du Liangchen struggled with motion sickness and difficulties during the season, he achieved excellent results.

They won third place in the second leg of the competition.

They won the Four State Championships.

They won the championship in the Grand Prix Final.

They won the championship in the youth group at the World Championships.

He won the Grand Slam in the youth group.

She dominated the championship for the entire season and became the darling of the figure skating world overnight.

Until the new season begins.

The coach arranged for Du Liangchen and Mei Jing to go to the United States to participate in a competition.

Du Liangchen lived up to expectations and won the championship again by a margin of 0.2 points.

The second stop was chosen to be in the country.

Today is the day of the free skate competition, and Du Liangchen once again took first place in the short program.

Before the competition, Coach Guo called Du Liangchen away and asked Coach Li to keep an eye on Du Liangchen's ice skates.

Coach Guo told Du Liangchen that his uncle had called and asked him to call him back after the match, and also told him not to be nervous.

During a few minutes of practice before the competition, Du Liangchen was practicing jumps when his skate suddenly bounced off the ice upon landing. Du Liangchen crashed onto the ice, but fortunately the skate didn't fly off, otherwise the others would have been in trouble.

Du Liangchen was completely dazed. He felt an itch in his throat and couldn't stop coughing. Blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Slowly, his vision went black and he lost consciousness.

When Du Liangchen woke up again, he was already in the ICU, and his consciousness was very hazy.

Later, Du Liangchen learned that he had internal bleeding and a lung infection that had caused lifelong asthma, meaning he might not be able to continue competing.

This devastating news caused Du Liangchen to lose everything. The once-promising figure skating genius, a rising star, fell into obscurity.

Du Liangchen felt something was wrong. His ice skates were always maintained before the competition, so how could the screws be loose?

It wasn't until he was transferred to a regular ward and met Coach Guo that he learned it was Hao Shuxue who had tampered with Du Liangchen's ice skates.

That day, Coach Li was in a hurry to go to the toilet and asked Hao Shuxue to watch Du Liangchen's ice skates, which led to the accident.
