My poor eyes, have to take off my glasses to look closer, the hydroblade ( can we still call it that) , the Ina Bauer,...why, why, I assume this person does Chopin as well, hence the costume...What is the meaning of this? I will be wondering for the rest of my day

The Chinese of the title says it's an invitational competition of a sports centre in China (or Taiwan, judging by the poster). It says 滑輪, which I believe means roller skates (I've only ever heard rollerskates being called 溜冰鞋 but that would probably be the colloquial Chinese usage - 滑輪 may be a more formal word). The skater's name seems to be Jian Hongyu. Frankly, I'm a little surprised by the comments here about it - it's definitely not any sort of 'elite' performance but for roller skates, that looks pretty damn impressive to me (he got some triples in). Not sure why he's got the Chopin costume on, except it's probably much easier to replicate than Seimei's actual costume and/or he also skated a short program.

Chinese and Japanese kanji actually differ quite a lot (which makes both super annoying to learn and not transferable much at all lol) Jian (簡) is his surname. Hóng yǔ (宏宇) is his first name and is actually pronounced 'Hiroyu' (according to Google translate) in Japanese. The Chinese pronunciation of 'Hongyu' is also extremely different to how 'Hanyu' is pronounced. 'Hanyu' (羽生) is pronounced yǔ shēng in Mandarin Chinese and 结弦 (Yuzuru) is pronounced Jié xián, so his name sounds completely different when you read the characters in the Chinese way ( :

It was all same to my layman eyes.. it would be very difficult to say that I am a fan of Jié Xian Yu When.
