In the pair skating short program on October 30, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong scored three weeks of outer point ice and three weeks of throwing inner point ice after the opening sequence, and the two actions were completed with very high quality, scoring 1.32 points and 2.75 points respectively. In the show, he got a level 4 for three weeks and a lift, and temporarily ranked first with 78.94 points.

"We did a good job in the short show," Han Cong said after the game, "and there were a lot of spectators cheering for us at the game, which made us feel very excited." From the last game, we found some problems in the action grading. However, the two races were shorter and did not adjust well. But it also points the way for our next training. ”

In the free skate, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong also had excellent performances, scoring 145.11 points and winning the championship with a total score of 224.5 points, which was also their first time to win the Grand Prix in Canada (previously, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong had participated in two Canadian races and won the runner-up).

In the post-match press conference, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong introduced the story behind the re-use of the song "Golden Bridge on the River of Sorrows" during the Olympic season. "When we skated this show in 2017, Sui Wenjing had surgery and I had to wait for her to come back on the ice rink and give her support and strength like a bridge. We re-opted this track this year because I also had an operation last year. Laurie (choreographer) felt that the show could not use the previous music, and it was necessary to add a part, because this time Xiao Sui became my bridge and supported us. Han Cong introduced.

"This story (not just for both of us) is also for everyone. Because there are actually many difficulties at this stage, we can't see friends and family outside in the bubble (closed-loop management of epidemic prevention and control), but we have pillars in our hearts. They are far away, even on the other side of the ocean, but our hearts are all together, and we hope that we can be more united, which is also the new slogan of the Olympic Games. Sui Wenjing said.

Next, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong will depart for Italy for the Italian leg of the Grand Prix, which will be held next week. Peng Cheng/Jin Yang, Jin Boyang, Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu, Chen Hong/Sun Zhuoming, Chen Yudong, Zhu Yi and other Chinese players will also participate in the competition.
