The first cooperation between them was in 1992. At that time, Shen Xue 14 years old had just finished his single skating career and was ready to practice double skating. Zhao Hongbo 19 years old, former partner Xie chose to retire. In this case, two people started their partner career of double skating. Because the starting point of Zhao Hongbo is relatively high, Shen Xue has just changed to double skating. With the unreserved help of Zhao Hongbo, Shen Xue made rapid progress, and they won the first honor in their fourth month as partners, runner-up in the Asian Cup synchronized skating.
Since then, Shen Xue Zhao Hongbo has been getting better and better, and gradually stepped into the top ranks in the world. 1999 won the runner-up in the World Figure Skating Championships, which was China's first medal in the synchronized skating event in the World Championships. Won 3 gold, 3 silver 1 bronze medals in the World Championships and 6 gold 1 silver 2 bronze medals in the World Figure Skating Grand Prix Finals. After winning the championship in 2007, Zhao Hongbo got down on one knee and proposed to Shen Xue. This romantic love touched the audience. At that time, they had been working together for 15 years, and their feelings came from the accumulation of day and night, which lasted forever. After that, they left the skating rink for two years.
Until 2009, in order to make up for the regret of never winning an Olympic gold medal, they came back again. At this time, Zhao Hongbo was 36 years old, and Shen Xue was 365,438+0 years old, which was definitely an elderly group in figure skating. With the belief in the Olympic gold medal, the two men launched a sprint to the Vancouver Winter Olympics. As husband and wife, they have a better understanding. In the end, they won the championship as they wished. They are the first pair of synchronized skaters in China, making history. The day after winning the championship, they announced their retirement as they wished, and made up for the wedding this year. Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo's career is perfect, which is the perfect curtain call that all athletes expect.
After retiring, Zhao Hongbo became a coach of the Chinese figure skating team, coaching pairs skating. Later, after her mentor Yao Bin retired, Zhao Hongbo succeeded him as head coach. Shen Xue, on the other hand, embarked on a career and developed very well. She became the deputy secretary of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Communist Youth League and served as the first president of the China Figure Skating Association.
They had a daughter on 20 13, and began to cultivate her skating talent at an early age. Now my daughter often participates in junior group competitions and has won many prizes. I hope my daughter can inherit her parents' good genes and make further progress in skating. Finally, I wish this family of three more and more happiness.
