In our Chinese figure skating world, there was a pair of partners, they were like "ice couples" made in heaven. However, they have never confirmed whether there was really a relationship between the two that transcended friendship. They are Zhang Hao and Zhang Dan, who were once known as the "golden children and jade girls on ice".
Similar to all legendary stories, the story of Zhang Hao and Zhang Dan also starts with beauty. This Harbin-born "ice couple" has been skating hand in hand since they were teenagers. The two were born in the same year, the same month and the same day, as if heaven had specially arranged it for their partner. Especially as they spread their wings on the ice of the Salt Lake City Olympics, the world was blown away by their excellent understanding.
However, who would have thought that this seemingly perfect pair would suddenly "release their previous suspicions" after retiring, completely cut off all contact, and did not even participate in each other's wedding. Could it be related to that fall?
When we look back at Zhang Hao and Zhang Dan's careers, an important turning point was the major mistake in 2006. In pursuit of higher difficulty and greater victory, they decided to add a "toss-around", a difficult move that few people in the world can complete.
However, fate does not seem to be on their side. The moment Zhang Dan landed, everything changed. She fell, and hit the sideline baffle hard. Everyone can feel the despair from the bottom of their hearts. At the moment of falling, Zhang Dan had only one thought in his heart: "It's over, there's nothing." ”
But Zhang Dan did not give up, she stubbornly stood up, continued to complete the competition, and finally won the silver medal with Zhang Hao. However, since then, the relationship between them seems to have begun to change subtly.
Some people say that love can overcome everything, but it seems that it cannot overcome the laws of nature. Zhang Dan was as beautiful as a fairy on the ice and snow stage, but he suffered a "second development" after the 2006 Winter Olympics. She was only 160, but she was as high as 170! This is undoubtedly a "giantization" nightmare for figure skating!
As we all know, the tacit understanding of figure skating partners is crucial. And between Zhang Hao and Zhang Dan, there seems to be a hidden rift. The couple-like stage, but behind the quarrels and cold wars, the relationship between the two tends to be estranged!
Faced with various difficulties, Zhang Dan finally chose to retire in 2012. Zhang Hao, on the other hand, chose to persevere, but choosing a new partner does not seem to be easy. First cooperated with Peng Cheng, who was 13 years younger than him, and then Yu Xiaoyu, each time accompanied by huge criticism. Zhang Hao was accused of falling and injuring his partner, which caused waves of accusations from netizens. And every "falling incident" reminds people of the scene when Zhang Dan was dropped!
Zhang Dan issued a clarification statement after seeing that Zhang Hao was under siege by the Internet. She generously responded that she and Zhang Hao had never been in love, but only had a deep brother and sister relationship. But what is striking is that the "brother and sister on ice" did not attend each other's wedding!
Some careful netizens found that Zhang Dan did not attend Zhang Hao's wedding with his girlfriend who has been in love for ten years; And Zhang Hao did not attend Zhang Dan's wedding. This series of strange events makes people wonder whether the two are really as claimed - just brother-sister relationship.
Figure skating combinations are almost always eaten, lodging, and traveling together during training. Many partners develop into couples, but if it is really a brother and sister relationship, why is it not necessarily in love for a long time? But maybe the relationship between the two is really just a deep emotion generated by work, and has nothing to do with romance.
In fact, Zhang Dan and Zhang Hao have brought countless honors to the country, and we should respect the choice of each athlete. Whatever the truth, we hope they all have a great future!
