Beijing, February 2 (Xinhua) -- From the first appearance at the Capital Gymnasium on the Chinese New Year's Eve night of January 31 to the continuation of ice training on the afternoon of the 2nd, Chinese figure skating duo Sui Wenjing/Han Cong found that there were more and more media reporters. They laughed and said, "We are getting more and more excited to see more and more people in the museum." ”

The Beijing Winter Olympics are about to open, Sui Wenjing said: "The atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger. We want to enjoy the atmosphere of the moment, the experience of every moment. After all, not many people can participate in a Winter Olympics held in their own home, which is very rare. ”
On the morning of the 4th, the figure skating team competition will take the lead. Sui Wenjing/Han Cong admitted that the list of participants has not yet been determined, but hope that the Chinese team can play at the best level and that opponents can enjoy the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Perhaps for many media reporters, volunteers and staff who participate in the Winter Olympics for the first time, the special feature of the Beijing Winter Olympics is not only that it is an event held at the doorstep of their homes, but also that many people have not been able to reunite with their families for the first time during the Spring Festival.
But Sui Wenjing and Han Cong are obviously very accustomed to spending the Spring Festival in preparation or competitions. "We are very accustomed to it, after all, every year during the Spring Festival, there will be various competitions, such as the Winter Olympics, the Asian Winter Games, the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships, etc., and I have not been at home for the New Year for about 10 years." Sui Wenjing said.
Due to the Beijing Winter Olympics, more and more ice and snow sports have entered the lives of ordinary people. Sui Wenjing said: "I hope that the Winter Olympics will not only bring happiness to everyone, I think this is also a new starting point, which can drive more people to participate in ice and snow projects." ”
Throughout the interview, Han Cong was almost always an audience member. When asked by reporters, Han Cong smiled and said, "I very much agree with her statement." ”
