Right now, we can't do what we love for the time being: perform in front of a large audience and share emotion and energy with our fans. But I am more convinced than ever that no matter what happens next year, at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, we will see the best performances of athletes. I will also do my best to participate in this sporting event. ”
