As the last note of the song falls, the audience falls silent. Sui Wenjing and Han Cong held hands tightly while holding their breath and staring at the shining score on the big screen.
Looking back on the past, they used to feel frustration and frustration here, but today, this night will definitely be so unique and unforgettable!
Finally, the total score was presented on the screen: Sui Wenjing and Han Cong won the championship with 218.63 points! Only 3.63 points ahead of the runner-up, they easily won the gold medal!

Han Cong gently wiped away the tears on Sui Wenjing's cheeks, and the two looked at each other and smiled. At this moment of glory that belongs to them, all the bitterness and hardship seem to have been drifted away with the wind.
Sui Wenjing's great dream came true, and Han Cong finally fulfilled his promise over the years.
As a pair of tacit partners, they have written a touching legend with deep friendship, and as a tenacious team, they have ended a long journey of 15 years with tenacious fighting spirit.
There is a feeling called Sui Wenjing and Han Cong, your dreams are guarded by me, and your tears are soothed by me.
Let's go back 15 years, when they were two teenagers living in Harbin, a city in northeastern China.
Sui Wenjing, born in 1995, has been passionate about figure skating since she was a child. In the Tohoku region, where skating rinks can be found everywhere, she has been dancing on the ice since she was in elementary school.
Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo's performances at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City strengthened her determination to become a professional figure skater.
In contrast, Han Cong, who was born in 1992, seems to lack a fiery passion for figure skating. Despite his talent and hailing as a rising star by his coach on the ice, he never set himself clear goals and ideals.
Back in 2007, when Han Cong was 15 years old and the young Sui Wenjing was only 12 years old, under the careful deployment of the coach, their pair of golden pairs skating came into being. However, the initial period was not as good as it could be, and there seemed to be a blend of fire and water between the two.
The little Sui Wenjing commented on Han Cong dissatisfiedly, "He is an adult, but he still has no achievements, and he is undoubtedly a person who lacks ideal pursuit." It is this distinct personality difference that makes Sui Wenjing and Han Cong often argue over trivial matters at the beginning, and the scene once seemed extremely embarrassing.
However, children are children after all, and they did not last long in these verbal quarrels, and soon found a tacit understanding with each other on the ice rink.
The turning point came during a light-hearted conversation, when Han Cong unexpectedly learned that Sui Wenjing aspired to become a high-profile professional figure skating superstar like Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo.
This fiery dream deeply touched the softest place in Han Cong's heart, and he began to reflect on his life trajectory, inspiring an unprecedented fighting spirit.
As time passed, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong's cooperation on the ice rink became more and more tacit. In 2009, they won their first title as a partner at the National Youth Championships, becoming the country's leading pair skaters.
Since then, they have won numerous international competitions and made a name for themselves.
However, fate always seems to play tricks on people, and Sui Wenjing and Han Cong's careers suffered a major setback in 2014. They were frustrated that they had not made it to the stage of the Sochi Winter Olympics.
To make matters worse, soon after, Sui Wenjing suffered a serious sports injury in which she was forced to implant a steel plate inside her ankle, making her almost unable to walk normally for more than half a year.
For a professional athlete, this is undoubtedly a heavy blow. Sui Wenjing was at one point at a time when she was reluctant to quit, and she pleaded with Han Cong to find a new partner, as she might not be able to fight anymore.
During that time, she wandered in the haze of retirement every night, and her inner struggle was like a knife.
However, in the face of Sui Wenjing's confusion, Han Cong has always been unswerving. "I'll wait for you," he said affectionately, and then gently took his weeping partner into his arms, giving her endless dependence and support as always.
These four concise and firm words are like a surging torrent, which deeply shocked the heart of the contestant Sui Wenjing's continuous pursuit of excellence. Looking back on those long years, she once met Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo for the first time on the TV screen, and at that time she had a decisive dream in her heart - the desire to become a professional figure skater!
And Han Cong is the light that leads her to realize her dreams and the pillar of loyalty and reliability.
Time flies, Han Cong has always been by her side with his selfless dedication and steadfast protection, and has become her strongest pillar in difficult times. Whether she fell to the ground, suffered trauma, or felt depressed, Han Cong always stood silently by her side, and with his silent but powerful actions, he saved her from the trough and brought her back to the ice rink again and again.
Under Han Cong's encouragement, Sui Wenjing quickly regained her confidence and embarked on a long and arduous journey of recovery. In the first days, she endured unspeakable pain and was unable to walk normally.
However, as long as she thought that Han Cong was waiting for her, Sui Wenjing felt as if she had regained her endless strength.
Therefore, she gritted her teeth without hesitation and never complained during the recovery process. Every day, Han Cong will be by her side to take care of her daily life, and always give her the courage to persevere.
Although it has been more than four months since she left the arena, with the support of her friends, Sui Wenjing has never given up the belief of returning to the ice rink.
After several years of hard work, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong's hard work finally paid off at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea. In the pairs competition, they gave the audience one of the most spectacular performances of their lives to date.
On the ice, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong skillfully blended the difficult moves they had cultivated over the years, and every toss and spin was just right to show their otherworldly skills and impeccable tacit understanding.
The whole show is like a passionate symphony, which perfectly blends their years of sweat and dreams.
As the final music faded away, the audience was so shocked by their performance that they fell into a brief silence. However, when the total score was displayed on the big screen, the scene instantly became silent: Sui Wenjing/Han Cong only missed the championship by 0.43 points with a total score of 205.28, unfortunately missing the gold medal.
At this moment that should have been cheered and celebrated, Sui Wenjing burst into tears. Years of dedication, past pain and grinding seem to be condensed in this tear.
When her dream was only a stone's throw away from the gold medal, she had to come to an abrupt end in front of her eyes, and the feeling of torn inner pain and desperate desire to reach the top was really unbearable!
Faced with such a scene, Han Cong quickly stepped forward without hesitation, hugging Sui Wenjing's thin body tightly, as if he wanted to use his broad chest to shield her from all the wind and rain.
At this critical moment, he seemed to travel back in time and space to those old years, watching his equally frustrated partner cry silently in his arms.
However, this time, what made Sui Wenjing feel painful was the endless regret that her long-cherished wish for many years could not be realized at this moment.
This touching scene deeply shocked everyone present. Indeed, as ordinary people, we can never empathize with the unwavering pursuit of ideals and careers of professional athletes.
However, at that moment, everyone saw the never-say-die fighting spirit from the two indomitable athletes.
The silver medal that was missed due to a small gap is not only a deep regret for Sui Wenjing and Han Cong, but also a strong driving force for them to move forward. They were not discouraged by this, on the contrary, Pyeongchang's regret was like a blazing torch, which completely ignited their fighting spirit.
From the moment they left the arena, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong seemed to have entered a new journey. Over the next four years, they plunged into training with unprecedented determination, vowing to wash away the shame of the Winter Olympics in their hometown of Beijing, fulfilling a long-cherished wish they had for years.
Falling down and getting up again and again on the ice, exhausted and out of breath again and again, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong always adhered to this belief in countless dawns and dead of night.
Sometimes Sui Wenjing was physically exhausted, and Han Cong gave her strength on the side, and sometimes Han Cong felt confused, and Sui Wenjing would stand up to motivate him. In this way, they supported and encouraged each other, and finally got through this long and difficult waiting period step by step.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is the day of the pairs final of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. At this moment, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong have already experienced countless tribulations. However, the moment they stepped onto the ice, all the fatigue and distress seemed to disappear.
On the ice rink, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong performed with love and perfectly completed a set of stunning four-seat free skating performances. Their every action and every detail tells the arduous journey of chasing their dreams in the past 15 years.
As the final music gradually stopped, the entire venue was instantly enveloped in silence, only applause echoed repeatedly in the air. At this moment, the long-lost dream came true! Sui Wenjing burst into tears, hugged Han Cong tightly into his arms, and looked at each other with endless joy and satisfaction.
After 15 years of ups and downs, their dedication, tempering and dreams have finally turned into sweet fruits, and they have been best rewarded at this moment.
When the tears in Sui Wenjing's eyes quietly slipped down, it was no longer a symbol of regret, but a testimony of happiness. Han Cong gently brushed the tears on her cheeks, and they hugged each other tightly, sharing the joys, sorrows, sorrows, ups and downs of the past 15 years.
