Yan Han is an outstanding men's single skater in Chinese figure skating, participating in the two Winter Olympics in Sochi and Pingchang. On March 15, 2018, Yan Han announced his retirement through his personal Weibo, "I still made a choice, chose to retire, studied and studied, made up for the shortcomings, and improved myself." Although the weibo was quickly deleted, Yan Han has not participated in any domestic and foreign competitions for more than a year.

In September last year, the Pang Qing Tong Jian Figure Skating National Training Team was established, and Yan Han's name was among them. On July 11, Yan Han will participate in the first leg of the China Figure Skating Club League in Hailar, which will be his first tournament in nearly 16 months. In November, Yan Han will also participate in the China Cup Figure Skating Grand Prix in Chongqing. In 2013, Yan Han won the Men's Singles Championship in the China Cup.

"Judging from the training situation of about 5 weeks, (Yan Han's) overall performance is relatively stable. But he's been out of the game for a while after all, and we're worried about his ability to control the game now, and we're doing an intra-team test for him these days. According to Tong Jian, last Friday Yan Han tested the short program, and a little later will also carry out a free skating test, "short program test, Yan Han's three and a half weeks, three consecutive three have been completed, unfortunately after the inner point ice appeared a turnover." Anyway, there's no rush this year, hopefully he's back in shape and we're not putting too much pressure on him either. The second half of this year to the first half of next year may break through some difficulties, but it depends on his body and cooperation with the team. ”

At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Chinese figure skating men's singles had Jin Boyang and Yan Han, and Tong Jian hoped that the Beijing Winter Olympics would achieve the goal of 3 full participation, "Hoping to establish a group advantage like our pair skating at that time." ”
