Figure Skating: Waltz on Ice

He looked at Grandpa Du excitedly and said.

Grandpa Du looked at him with a complicated expression.

After that, Du Liangchen spent his time in school, attending various extracurricular classes, and skating at the ice rink.

Through Du Liangchen's unremitting efforts, he has been able to jump a perfect 2A.

Today marks the day Du Liangchen joined the provincial team; he is now an athlete.

The car was parked in the parking lot. Today, Du Langyu's father brought Du Liangchen to register.

As soon as Du Liangchen entered, he saw many children training on the ice rink, falling and rolling around like gourds.

A coach saw them approaching and asked, "Do you need something or are you looking for someone?"

Mr. Du, holding Du Liangchen's hand, said, "Hello, I've brought my child here to register."

The coach looked at Du Liangchen and said, "Then come with me."

The three arrived at an office. The coach knocked on the door, and a voice inside said, "Come in."

"Director Qian, the children and parents who registered today have arrived."

"You must be Du Liangchen," Director Qian asked, looking at Du Liangchen with affection.

"Hello Director Qian, I'm Du Liangchen, and this is my father." Du Liangchen didn't show any awkwardness when meeting a stranger and introduced himself in a very natural and generous manner.

"Hello, Mr. Du, this way please. Coach Liu, you can go ahead and get back to work."

Coach Liu responded and quickly went out.

"I've watched Xiao Chen's competitions; he's a very talented kid. He can jump a double Axel at such a young age. I'm very happy that you've joined the provincial team," Director Qian said happily.

"Xiao Chen has loved this sport since he was a child. Now that he has entered the provincial team and has better coaching resources, I think he will definitely not let everyone down," said Mr. Du proudly.

"That's natural."

Afterwards, Director Qian led Du Liangchen and his father on a tour of the venue. They were impressed by the excellent environment, especially since milk was added to the ice.

After Mr. Du left, Director Qian asked Coach Liu, who had just recruited me, to take Du Liangchen to training.

"Xiao Chen, please continue training according to your usual routine," Coach Liu said.

"Good coach."

Du Liangchen first warmed up and then did land training before going onto the ice. During this time, Coach Liu kept making notes in his notebook.

After getting on the ice, I skated around the perimeter twice to get used to the feel of my feet. I performed the swallow gliding, crouch turn, and all six types of single jumps with perfect form. Then I did two double jumps. Gradually, the people training on the ice stopped and looked at this unfamiliar face.

Du Liangchen noticed everyone's movements. Ignoring them, he focused entirely on performing the 2LZ hook jump, 2F, 2LO, 2S, and 2T. These jumps exhausted him; he was already panting heavily. He had wanted to try the 2A, but now it seemed impossible. He slid to the side and realized everyone was standing on the perimeter watching him, including several coaches and Coach Liu. Luckily, he wasn't a real child, or he would have been completely flustered.

"Who is he? His movements are quite standard."

"Yeah, that's awesome."

"I think I know him."

"Who is it? Stop keeping me in suspense and tell me."

"Du Liangchen".

"Who?"

……

Du Liangchen ignored these words and quickly skated over to Coach Liu.

"Excellent, your jumps were perfect, clean and crisp." Coach Liu's eyes practically disappeared from his smile. "Let's rest for a bit."

"Xiao Chen is good, he has a lot of talent."

"Yes, he's a promising talent."

"Thank you for the compliment, Coach," Du Liangchen said politely.
