sallycinnamon Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Sui/Han brought back the quad twist in a test event in China. Source: x I think their 3S is not so reliable so they might have want a plus against M/G and others even if they make a mistake on the jump.

Guest turquoiseblue Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 CGTN article on Sui and Han: Chinese figure skating team refine details ahead of Winter Olympics 6 January 2022 Quote On Wednesday night, the Chinese national figure skating team conducted their last public training session before the Winter Games. The team's figure skating star duo Sui Wenjing and Han Cong have geared up for the upcoming competitions. After missing the gold medal by just half a point in Pyeongchang in 2018, and overcoming various injuries, the duo have extra motivation to strive for the top glory. "We will do our best, do best as a team, and avoid possible problems. We will strive to show the best of ourselves during the games," Sui said. A big part of the nearly-two-hour-long session was invested in the practice of single-jumping. Peng Cheng of the national team said single jumping has always been a problem for her, but she's gathering experience every day to build muscle memory. "Now athletes are training three times a day, and they have extra training at night. Single jumping training has been intensified. From physical training to targeted explosive training, athletes have a specific training plan. They are trying their best," Zhao Hongbo, head coach of the national team, said.

shanshani Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 Han Yan's skating is so exquisite and the fact that Chinese men only have one spot is making me pull my hair out. People deserve to see his skating, especially since most of the men are just so much less watchable than he is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
