On the 27th, the Capital Gymnasium, which will host figure skating and short track speed skating events, was officially opened to the Beijing Winter Olympic team and the media, and the Chinese team's two-time World Championship runners-up Jin Boyang and "Little Flower" Zhu Yi became the first athletes to train here. Judging from the official training appointment form currently obtained by the reporter, two days before the opening of the first body, they were the only two figure skaters who applied for the training period, and the first ice of the pair skaters Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, Peng Cheng/Jin Yang and the ice dance combination Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu was the team training on the 31st.
For Chinese figure skating, the memory of the Year of the Tiger in the lunar calendar is golden. At the Vancouver Winter Olympics 12 years ago, Shen Xue/Zhao Hongbo won the first winter olympic figure skating gold medal for China, the fourth Winter Olympics they participated in as athletes and the 30th year after The Chinese figure skating teamed for the first Time In 1980.
The clock is set back another 12 years. In 1998, Japan's Nagano witnessed the rebirth of the genius girl Chen Lu, and the second consecutive Winter Olympic bronze medal made the ice world remember Chen Lu and let the world re-recognize Chinese figure skating. It was also at that Winter Olympics that the young Shen Xue/Zhao Hongbo won the fifth place for the Chinese team that did not qualify for the pair skating for two consecutive years, writing the prologue to the quiet rise of China's pair skating.
Another Lunar Year of the Tiger, the Chinese figure skating team, which returned from the old coach Yao Bin and Zhao Hongbo grabbed the pair skating, once again launched an attack on the Winter Olympic podium.

In this golden expectation, the first thing to cross is the regret that Sui Wenjing/Han Cong missed the gold medal of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics with a slight disadvantage of 0.43 points. This Winter Olympic cycle begins with Sui Wenjing's stress fracture of her right foot forced to undergo surgery, draws a rest with Han Cong's hip surgery, and then advances towards 2022 with a more elevated rhythm.
In March 2021, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong won silver at the Stockholm World Championships in just eight weeks after a 13-month absence, and more than half a year later, they returned to the Olympic season with "The Golden Bridge on the River of Sorrows", which they had skied in the 2016-2017 season, and stood on the top podium three times in less than a month, including the Beijing Winter Olympics Test Match and Figure Skating Asian Open on the first ice, and the two Grand Prix in Canada and Italy.

This song is a free-skating track when they first appeared on the top podium of the World Championships in 2017, and the old song is newly arranged, telling how the "onion barrel" group plagued by injuries and illnesses supports each other and grows together.
The two once said that the original intention of choreographing this track five years ago was because Sui Wenjing had just experienced an injury at that time, and Han Cong became the "bridge" that helped her get out of the trap; in this cycle, both of them had different injuries and became each other's "bridge".
"This bridge is not only between us, but also between us and the audience, between the referee, and even between everyone on our team," Sui Wenjing said, "we also hope that this bridge will be built between everyone and give each other warmth." ”

In the latest pair skating world rankings, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong and another Chinese pair skating Olympian Peng Cheng/Jin Yang finished third and fifth respectively, while the other three seats in the top five were occupied by three Pairs of Russian pairs, including World Champion Misna/Gallamov. In the figure skating competition of the Winter Olympics, which will begin on February 4, the main theme of pair skating will be the battle between China and Russia.
Jin Boyang, fourth place at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, is also moving towards a higher goal. At the beginning of the season, he was hospitalized for a period of acute appendicitis, and his foreign combat status was slightly affected; however, as the season progressed, he actively adjusted his status, and both sets of programs were designed with world-class difficulty arrangements. The steady output of the Winter Olympics will be the key to whether the 24-year-old male singles player can achieve self-transcendence.
The figure skating arena of this Winter Olympic Games is full of stars, and the single skating event is expected to usher in a historic breakthrough.

Whether Yusheng Yuxin can achieve three consecutive championships has attracted the attention of ice fans around the world, and in the process of winning the Championship in Japan last month, he challenged Axel, who had achieved in training, for four and a half weeks without success, which also laid the groundwork for the Beijing Winter Olympics. In this project, chen Wei, the three-time world championship men's singles champion in the United States, will have a head-on duel with Yusheng Yusheng, who has been plagued by injuries in the past year, and The key mountain Yujin, the runner-up of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and the twice-won champion of this season's Grand Prix, Yujin Youshan cannot be ignored.
On the women's side, the Russian "matryoshka doll" will form a "encirclement and suppression" trend on the Winter Olympic podium. Under the age of 16, the new Crown European Champion Camilla Vallieva holds three scoring records under the current rules, the 17-year-old "jumping fairy" Alexandra Trusova has completed the hook four-week jump for the first time in the international skating league event, and the current world champion, "Little Qianjin" Anna Serbakova is the first women's singles player to complete the hook for four weeks and then the outer point ice for three weeks, and the first women's singles player to complete two hooks for four weeks.
In terms of ice dance, the silver medalist Papadagis/Nishizawa Long, who played again, although he missed the European Championships for the safety of the epidemic, but the strong performance this season was enough to put the French duo on the top list of the Beijing Winter Olympic champions.
