Shen Wenqi is part of the volunteer publicity team of the National Ski Jumping Center, and her husband, Wang Xiaomin, is the head of security and explosion protection security at the Zhangjiakou Uniform and Registration Branch Center. Due to the combination of "big closed loop" and "small closed loop" in Zhangjiakou Winter Olympic Village in accordance with the requirements of epidemic prevention and control, the post-90s couple is in a "different place" mode and cannot meet.
Once, Wang Xiaomin walked past Wenxin Street, where Shen Wenqi lived, and he took a photo across the fence and sent it to his wife, writing on WeChat: "I just passed by the place where you live." Shen Wenqi replied to her husband: "The place where I have fought is also the place where you have fought."

Smeding believes that the relationship between the two is actually very helpful.

These two coaches are a pair of ice couples in the mainland figure skating industry. The two began to learn to skate in 1973, when Xu Zhaoxiao was 9 years old and Fu Caishu was 7 years old.
Xu Zhaoxiao, born in Harbin in 1965, participated in two Winter Olympics as an athlete, and at the 1984 Budapest International Figure Skating Championships, he became the first Chinese athlete to win an international championship.

In 2019, the Chinese team invited Bjør Darren in order to prepare for the Beijing Winter Olympics, so the husband and wife both came to China to coach.

Bjordalen hopes to use his achievements in coaching the Chinese team to prove that he is not only the king of athletes, but also the best among coaches. When Bjør Darren and Domlacheva came to China, they ate and lived with the team and sang with their husbands and wives. Bjør Darren said: "My wife has more time to spend with the players as a women's team coach, and as a head coach, his work will be more and more complicated. ”

Schifflin/Kielder:
A multinational couple who meet at a low point
On February 11, the Beijing Winter Olympics Alpine Skiing Women's Super Giant Slalom Competition was held at the Yanqing National Alpine Ski Center, and Mikaela Schifflin from the United States regretted that she could not finish the race.
On February 9, Schifflin sat alone on the edge of the snow and cried
As a well-publicized American star, at the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics, Schifflin won the championship in the alpine ski women's slalom event and the alpine ski women's grand slalom event respectively.
However, during the 4-year preparation period, an accident occurred. In February 2020, Schifflin's father died, and she subsequently suffered a back injury and a new crown infection. Fortunately, at the low point of her life and career, Schifflin met her current boyfriend, Norwegian alpine skier Alexander Omote Kielder.
At the time, Kidd was also injured, but the two supported each other, and soon the multinational couple got back on their feet. At this year's Winter Olympics, Schifflin and Kielder represented the United States and Norway respectively.
On February 8, Kilde won a bronze medal in the men's super slalom in alpine skiing and a silver medal in the men's all-around on the 10th. In contrast, Schifflin, who had carried huge expectations, did not perform as expected, ranking 9th in one of the 3 events that had already been concluded, and failing to finish the remaining two games.

The loss of his lover also disappointed his boyfriend Kilder, and when he saw a picture of Schifflin crying alone on the field, he also forwarded the picture and said with an essay: "The pressure we put on the athletes is huge, in order to balance, let's give equal support." We're just ordinary people, and I love you Mikaela. ”

Jock and Bates are a couple who work together on the field, and their separation began in 2011. Bates was impressed by Jock's charming temperament, and Jock thought that "I have never seen anyone as humorous as Bates." ”
The two were practicing at the same ice rink, and by chance, Bates and Jock had to find a dance partner again. Because of the large height difference, both had doubts about their partners at that time. "She tried it with several people, and I was like, 'Please, choose me.'" Bates recalled humorously.

In 2017, the two officially opened their relationship. After starting to live together in Montreal, Bates mentioned more than once in the media that the two lived in a tacit understanding and almost never quarreled.
Life is getting better, and the performance of the ice dance group is also maturing. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Jock and Bates performed tacitly and harmoniously. Their seamless performance earned the U.S. a high score of 129.07.
Now the two are seamlessly blending skating and life. After the ice, they share the housework (Bates cooks, Jock does the laundry), "it seems like every day is dating, life has become a date." Jock laughed.
Winter goes to spring
Let the passion of sports be
And the complete release of flying youth
I wish that there are lovers in the world who will eventually become dependents
