Yevgeny Krasnopolski said: "I am so excited, I can't wait to go to Beijing and enjoy the Olympic atmosphere there. I'm really excited. Hayley, who is actively preparing with Yevgeny, will be participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time, she said, "We have been training seriously before, and we will do our best." Because preparing for the Olympic Games is very different from ordinary training, the intensity is greater, and the requirements are higher, so we train harder and prepare for the Winter Olympics as much as I can. All the sports and athletes can come together, and I think it's really good that the Winter Olympics are going to be held as scheduled. Although the world is still under the shadow of the epidemic, the [Winter Olympics] will sweep away the haze and bring light. That's cool. ”
