Zhao Hongbo has many years of experience in pair skating, and at the beginning he moved forward with Shen Xue.
However, Shen Xue, who was strong and stubborn, worked hard and cooperated very much, and soon let Zhao Hongbo, who was dismissive at first, pay attention to her.
The duo's reputation grew on the international stage and they won the world championships in figure skating for the first time in 2002.
The following year, the two defended their titles in the figure skating world championships pair skating event, and four years later, they achieved the triple crown feat of the figure skating world championships.
