Chen Wei led the figure skating men's singles short program with 113.97 points, creating a new world record and making American netizens fall into a boil. In the eyes of Raphael Aruthynian, an Armenian coach who has long worked with Chen Wei, this is not surprising, but at the moment when Chen Wei ends his action, he cannot avoid the emotional inspiration, and tears instantly fill his eyes.

In his Winter Olympic debut in Pyeongchang four years ago, Chen Wei made his debut with a horse-like performance, and then staged a Jedi counterattack in the free skate, and finally won the 5th place, which was a rather disappointing result for him who aspired to win the medal. This Beijing Winter Olympics, Chen Wei has only one goal, that is, to impact the gold medal, and successfully completed the redemption of Pyeongchang's frustration in the short program.

Aruthenyan has been Chen Wei's coach since he was 11 years old, witnessing his growth along the way, "In the short program, I was very calm. You should have seen the video, I stood on the sidelines and basically didn't move much. I was just watching, with only a little tear in my eyes, but I actually had a lot of thoughts. It's been a long journey. ”

After Chen Wei lost his medal in Pyeongchang, he embarked on an unstoppable journey to win gold. In addition to a staggering 14-event winning streak, he won the World Championship three times, a wave of invincibility that didn't end until Last October. As a result, Aruschunyan said, Chen Wei is used to winning titles, so his preparation for free skating will follow the previous rhythm and there will be no change, "You will never change your direction until you start a difficult journey." ”
