On the afternoon of May 23, Han Cong, the figure skating pairs champion of the Beijing Winter Olympics, posted on social media that he has been fighting for the cause he loves, and he has met many new friends in a new identity this year, and he is grateful for meeting everyone. It is reported that Han Cong will join the Physical Education Department of Tsinghua University in 2023 and is now responsible for the teaching of skating and figure skating classes. From a Winter Olympic champion to a Tsinghua teacher, Han Cong's ice story has never stopped.

Han Cong and his partner Sui Wenjing are known as the "Green Onion Bucket Combination", and the two have been fighting together for 16 years and have achieved great results in various major competitions. In the figure skating pairs free skating competition at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong made their final debut and won the gold medal in pairs skating on their home turf with a near-perfect set of "Golden Bridge on the River of Sorrow", becoming the world's first pair to win a Grand Slam pair in pairs.

After winning the most important gold medal of their careers, Han Cong and Sui Wenjing did not continue to compete in the arena, but they continued to perform on their respective stages. In August last year, Han Cong said that after a year and a half of treatment, he was not physically fit enough to return to the game, and decided to withdraw from all competitions in the Milan cycle and continue to fight for the figure skating career in other capacities in the future.

In September 2022, the International Skating Union officially appointed Han Cong as an athlete member of the Singles and Pairs Technical Committee. In November, he signed up for the national referee online training course held by the Chinese Figure Skating Association, obtained the referee qualification certification, and participated in the refereeing work of many international and domestic competitions. In 2023, he joined the Department of Physical Education of Tsinghua University, where he was responsible for the teaching of skating and figure skating classes, opening a new chapter in education.

Han Cong's gorgeous turn not only brought the passion and charm of ice and snow sports to Tsinghua students, but also inspired them to continue to pursue excellence and climb academic peaks. On the 23rd, he said on social media, "I have been fighting for the cause I love, and I have met a lot of new friends in a new identity this year, thank you for meeting you!" In addition, students who plan to sign up for my class must practice hard in the future, and Mr. Han is very strict! ”

Talking about the change of identity, Han Cong said that since changing his identity, his focus has shifted more to promoting the development of the movement. "Whether I am joining an international organization or working as a teacher, I am thinking about how to promote the development and popularization of ice and snow sports, and this is not just a verbal promise, but also a practical action." Han Cong said.
