This is the second time that the "Onion Barrel Group" has performed this short program at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

This time, the rendition took it to the next level, and finally scored 84.41 points, once again setting a new world record.
Sui Wenjing's fluttering hair during the competition was particularly eye-catching, to which Sui Wenjing explained: "This is deliberately designed to make the show more flavorful, because this kind of hair flick may be more different." ”
Han Cong said after the game: "I am very happy to be able to show my best side in the short program, laying a good foundation for tomorrow's free skating competition. ”
From the appearance of the team competition on the 4th to the re-participation in the competition on the 18th, the long wait in the middle is also a kind of suffering. Sui Wenjing said: "The process of waiting in front of it is a kind of dormancy, just like a tiger must have such a movement before pouncing, and then rush to catch the prey it wants." ”

This is the second Winter Olympics in which the Peng Cheng/Jin Yang group participated, and it is also peng Cheng's third Winter Olympic Games. Four years ago, the duo made a mistake in PyeongChang and failed to enter the free skating competition.
