It's good to see Boyang so happy. I hope he'll have a great home Olympics! :fingerscrossed:

I'm also sad for Han Yan. To think that China only has one men's spot for the Olympics... :facepalm:

 

I do hope that we'll see him at international competitions in the future. Perhaps grand prix or challenger events? His skating is truly beautiful and I'd love to see more of it. :fingerscrossed:

I really hope we will get to see him compete again :grouphug: 


He will be featured in the upcoming documentary series about winter sports. Perhaps we will get some updates.

[chasing dreams to beijing] sui/han interview (English translation by @kattwts on Twitter)

 

Quote

[even as current world champions, there were many doubts] 

 

SWJ: “when we first started pairs skating, a lot of people looked down on us. our heights/figures are very similar and balanced, but there are some elements that are better suited for us than for other teams. Our movements are more coordinated and aligned, our spins look more uniformed since our heights are similar so we can get more points.”

 

“sometimes you need to turn your disadvantages into strengths—i think this is an ability that is hidden within each person. i think everyone is capable of finding that power.

 

how do we go about doing this? just do best by yourself—never stop trying to surpass yourself.”

Quote

May 2016, SWJ underwent double ankle ligament surgery

 

cong: on the issue of injuries, i think it’s similar to a candle; we are continuously burning ourselves, but at the same time, we are shining light on everyone around us. it’s all part of the process of transformation.”

 

“sometimes we have to endure more pain and burn out quicker just as a candle would. but at the same time it’s self-affirmation—i can help other people and we can support each other, our convictions and spirits. i think this is really great.”

 

wenjing: “our bodily injuries are an unavoidable reality- because our figures, body types just aren’t suitable for pairs skating. but we are able to make it to today because of our hard work, the support of our families, various other factors.”

 

wenjing: “we learned to overcome and be grateful for every person who walked by our side and supported us. everyone has a purpose for coming into our lives; they are a light who shine over us. we hope that we can eventually become that light as well, and shine on more people.”

Figure skater Zhu Yi nervous but excited to represent China at Beijing 2022

30 January 2022

 

Quote

"It's my first Olympic Winter Games. Of course the pressure is huge. But I'll use the nervousness to perform better," said the 19-year-old.

 

Zhu has trained here alone for two days before Karen Chen of the United States and Czech skater Eliska Brezinova joined her in the women's singles training session at the venue which is set to hold figure skating and short track speed skating competitions.

 

"I feel so much better," she said. "On the first two days, I felt lonely but excited. But everything turned alright today."

 

"I don't know why. Maybe because I got used to the rink and I am well tuned now. There are other skaters today and training with them really gets my adrenaline going," she added.

 

Born to Chinese parents in Los Angeles, Zhu won the women's title in the novice division at the 2018 United States Figure Skating Championships in San Jose before she naturalized as a Chinese citizen the following year.

 

"Everyone is supporting me here, my coaches, teammates and friends. It's touching and very important to me," Zhu said.
