"We played at a normal level in this competition, but the movement was still less difficult because we had to adapt to the Winter Olympic venue and the new program." Han Wenjing said in an interview after the game, "The game was still a little tight, coupled with a slight decline in physical fitness, the whole show did not play to the best level." We will sum up the experience and adjust it in the following games. ”

Speaking about the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, Sui Wenjing said: "Our goal is to raise the national flag and play the national anthem. For now, it is to do a good job of yourself, follow the team to continue to practice and advance the preparation plan. It is necessary to increase the difficulty of the technical link and enhance their strength. We want to show the best of ourselves on every piece of ice, in every game. ”

In order to prepare for the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Capital Gymnasium has been upgraded in an all-round way. The Open Tournament is the first international event hosted by the Capital Gymnasium in four years, and the "most beautiful ice" has also been unanimously praised by Chinese and foreign players.

Standing at the Capital Gymnasium again to participate in international competitions, Han Cong sighed a lot, "This is the place where we have fought, the whole venue is very gorgeous, and it feels both familiar and motivated to return here, and it also constantly arouses our idea of continuing to move forward and challenge." ”

Sarrinen, from Finland, couldn't hide his excitement: "I love playing here, it's a really good event, it's exciting to see everything in the venues, I hope I can experience it again during the Winter Olympics." Switzerland's Bricgi said: "The ice rink is beautiful, the ice is good, everything is perfect to skate here!"
