Winter Olympic champion Han Cong officially announced: withdrew from the Milan Winter Olympic cycle due to injury Sui Wenjing expressed understanding and support

On August 15, Beijing time, Winter Olympic champion Han Cong officially announced through social media that he had been recovering for a year and a half due to injury and still could not recover to support him to return to the arena again, so he announced his withdrawal from all events in the Milan Winter Olympics cycle, and then Sui Wenjing also forwarded a reply hoping that Han Cong could recover as soon as possible, and also expressed understanding and support for Cong's choice.

At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong performed well, and they finally won the gold medal in the figure skating pair skating competition with a total score of 239.88 points, which was also the first Olympic gold medal for the duo, achieving the feat of figure skating pair skating Grand Slam.

31-year-old Han Cong and 28-year-old Sui Wenjing, they are unlikely to continue to play international matches in the future due to age and injury, especially Han Cong is likely to retire. With a new role after the Beijing Olympics, Han Cong has become a member of the ISU Single and Pair Skating Technical Committee.

Now Han Cong officially announced on social media: "Hello everyone, I am sorry to announce today: I have decided to withdraw from all competitions in the Milan cycle. After a year and a half of rehabilitation after the Beijing Winter Olympics, my current recovery is not enough to support my return to the competition again. In the future, I will continue to fight for the figure skating career in other capacities, and I hope that Xiao Sui can bravely pursue his dreams, and we will always be the most solid partners on the road of figure skating! ”

Then Han Cong's partner Sui Wenjing forwarded a reply and wrote: "I hope that Brother can recover soon, and I can empathize with Brother Cong's injury and illness the most." Although it is a pity, I understand and support Cong's choice, no matter when and where, we will always be each other's cheerleaders and little suns. Figure skating is always on the way, and we're always on the road! ”

Han Cong will most likely transition to pair skating coach later, and there is no clear indication whether Sui Wenjing will continue her career or similarly become a coach.
