Beijing, February 19 (China News Service) "When you have tears in your eyes, I will wipe them dry for you..." Accompanied by melodious female vocal chanting, on the evening of the 19th at the Figure Skating Arena of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese duo Sui Wenjing / Han Cong began their interpretation.
The "Sui-Han Combination" short program ranked No. 1, so it appeared in the last group in the free skating competition. Before they played, Tarasova/Morozov from the Russian Olympic Committee team temporarily topped the table.

Ice fans are no strangers to the song "Golden Bridge on the River of Sorrows", which is the track they used in the 2016-2017 season, and the two have also reached the top of the World Series many times. Behind the glamorous achievements, as the lyrics tell, "Golden Bridge" witnessed the process of the two supporting each other and overcoming injuries.
The old song is newly arranged, "Sui and Han Group" integrates past experiences into it, especially in the opening part of the female voice, reflecting the meaning of "mutual bridge, through difficulties". Their action difficulty is even more remarkable, in addition to the "must kill" twist around, single jump, throw jump, spiral and other choreography is quite novel.
Playing steadily and delicately, the "Sui-Han Combination" finally scored 155.47 points in the free skating competition, with a total score of 239.88 points, and won the championship with an advantage of 0.63 points. At the moment when the results were announced, the two cried silently and hugged the coaching team tightly.
