On the opening day of the Winter Olympics, "Onion Barrel" made a perfect appearance and bluntly said that "when it is strong, it is strong"

"The staff were very friendly and helpful." Sui Wenjing glanced at Han Cong, got a nod, and said these three words happily.

At 14:35 on February 4, the Sui Wenjing/Han Cong combination competed in the opening day of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, and made the second-to-last appearance in the figure skating team competition pair skating short program, successfully completing the whole set of actions, scoring a high score of 82.83, ranking first, and scoring 10 points for the team for the Chinese team.

Choosing to appear in the team competition is the arrangement of the team, and it is also "whether we are athletes or small soldiers wearing the national flag, we all hope to fight for the country on the battlefield and exert our greatest energy on the field." Sui Wenjing said.

They gave themselves a 9.5 for today's performance – very good, but "could have been better".

"I think it's a normal level of training, but it's a little bit conservative and then there's no particular release in terms of overall speed." Sui Wenjing also summed up the shortcomings.

The last pair of players in the pair skating, Misna /Gallamov, trailed Sui Wenjing and Han Cong by 0.19 points, ranking second. It is worth mentioning that the scores of both groups have set new world records.

"I think the stronger the opponent, the more excited we are. A good game is a high level of competition with different countries, and then a good game is achieved. Sui Wenjing said, "We are also the kind of athletes who are strong when they are strong, and I also hope that we can show a visual feast for everyone together with athletes from all over the world." ”

China is still in the midst of the Spring Festival holiday, and on February 4, the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics will be held tonight. The expression of the duo, nicknamed "Onion Barrel", after the game was also very festive.

Some media asked the two what they wanted to say to the ice fans, and Sui Wenjing, who loved beauty, said half-jokingly and half-seriously: "Is my makeup looking good today?" A long bang in front of the forehead was deliberately left, trying to retain a little "thrown up" of the ethereal feeling.

Han Cong said that today is a good day, and the performance is very good that "we feel very happy", "We have prepared a short program and a free skating program very carefully, hoping to show ourselves on the field, and I hope that everyone will cherish our program and our performance." ”

"Onion Bucket" gave everyone a New Year's greeting and expressed his wish: "Strive to let more people pay attention to ice and snow and participate in ice and snow projects at the moment of family reunion, which is also a force we can contribute to figure skating or ice and snow projects." ”

After the first day of the figure skating team competition, the United States ranked first with 28 points, followed by the Russian Olympic Committee with a difference of 2 points, and the Chinese team ranked third with 21 points.
