The "Onion Barrel Combination" has made a comeback and swept all the champions in the country

Sui Wenjing (Part 1) / Han Cong

At this year's Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese figure skating team won a total of 5 places in doubles skating, ice dance, men's singles and women's singles, of which the men's singles player was Jin Boyang, the women's singles was the beautiful girl Zhu Yi, the ice dance sent Wang Shiyue / Liu Xinyu combination, and the pair skating was played by Sui Wenjing / Han Cong, who is now ranked third in the world, and Peng Cheng / Jin Yang, who is fifth.

Among them, the famous "onion barrel combination" Sui Wenjing / Han Cong, as the two-time World Championships pair skating champion, is also the hottest player for the Chinese figure skating team to participate in the Winter Olympics to attack the gold medal.

Sui Wenjing, born in 1995, laughed at herself as a "barrel sister" because she was "like a barrel" when she was a child, and Han Cong, born in 1992, is an "old cadre" personality in the eyes of fans, both of whom are players from Harbin, Heilongjiang, who paired up in 2007 to practice pair skating, and for more than ten years the two have already swept all the championship titles in China, and are also well-known partners in international competitions, ranking first in the world until the middle of last year.

For Sui Wenjing/Han Cong, who were proud of their youthful spring breeze, the two were only one Winter Olympic gold medal away from the Grand Slam, and they had a chance to achieve this goal four years ago in Pyeongchang, but ultimately lost the gold medal by only 0.43 points.

Now that there is an opportunity to make a comeback at home, the "onion barrel combination" naturally hopes to work harder to seize the opportunity, and the two have won the championship again in last year's figure skating Grand Prix in Canada and Italy, showing a good state of preparation, but also more mature and strong.

However, Han Cong revealed that in last year's test match and the two races of the Grand Prix, they did not use the most difficult moves, that is, they hoped to save surprises at the Winter Olympics. "We don't want to give the judges and the audience the impression that 'they can only skate the music that feels like this', we want to slide out the feeling of escalation and let everyone see us as a whole new one."

It is worth mentioning that the opponents they face this time are the famous Russian "troika" Mishenna /Galyamov, Tarasova/Molozov and Biyukova/Kozlovsky, and these three pairs are also in the top five of the world rankings, and once again won the top three with an absolute advantage in the recently concluded European Figure Skating Championships.

In particular, this year's World Championship champion Michelina Galyamov is the biggest competitor of the Chinese team, the two are steady and cooperative, and three pairs of Russian players and two Chinese players are bound to bring a high-level "fairy fight" to the Winter Olympics pair skating competition.
