Liu Xinyu still had more than ten steel nails in his hand when he held up his partner

Beijing, February 14 (Reporter Zhang Su) Wang Shiyue / Liu Xinyu just refreshed the best results of the China Ice Dance Winter Olympics, and one of their signature lifting moves in the competition is even more beautiful "out of the circle". However, the reporter learned in the post-match interview that Liu Xinyu still has 11 steel nails in the hand that holds up his partner, and he will perform surgery to remove them after the End of the Winter Olympics.

Liu Xinyu revealed that they began to try this move as early as 2016, but at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, because they could not qualify for the free dance stage in the team and individual competitions, the two failed to show it. Although they have steel nails in their hands and will swell after practicing too much, they still want to complete this action in Beijing.

The gold medal in the ice dance event of the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating event ended with the French athlete and Pyeongchang Winter Olympic runner-up Papadaggis/Nishizawa Long. The duo, affectionately known as the "Chicken Silk Dragon" by Chinese ice dance fans, see Beijing as their blessed land.

The silver medalist in the ice dance at the Winter Olympics was Snikina Kacharapov from the Russian Olympic Committee and Habel/Donoho from the United States. At the souvenir presentation ceremony, the three pairs wore gorgeous competition uniforms on the podium, and the moment was simply beautiful.
