As the last note of "Golden Bridge on the Sad River" sounded, Wenjing Sui/Cong Han ended the free skating competition. Fighting side by side for 15 years, they experienced peaks and valleys, and finally won the coveted gold medal in Beijing Winter Olympics.

Just like the song "Golden Bridge on the Sad River", "When the world finds it difficult to help, I will bend down like a bridge on the flood to help you through."

On and off the court, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong, who have completely different personalities, are accompanied. They are the best partners and friends who know each other best. A few days ago, China-Singapore Sports had an exclusive conversation with Sui Wenjing and Han Cong, who told the story of 15 years.

In order to complete the twisting around, Sui Wenjing had to overcome the fear of falling on the ice. Because of the pressure of weight control and a lot of training, she collapsed and cried many times. Han just "borrowed" someone else's partner to practice while waiting for his partner to return from surgery. All these are the sweetest rewards of Beijing Winter Olympics.

Sino-Singapore Sports: What are you busy with after the Beijing Winter Olympics?

Han Cong: Recently, I took a lot of magazines and advertisements, took time to go to Universal Studios and participated in its grand parade.

Sui Wenjing: I thought before, is it necessary for us to show off such good muscles? So after the Winter Olympics, contact the magazine to take photos and leave your good figure in the picture. I feel very tired recently, but I am full.

I am also writing an autobiography recently, so that everyone can see a different me. Han Congge, the coach and many teammates and friends will help me write some in the book. I hope that through my own growth experience, more people will walk on the ice rink.

Sino-Singapore Sports: You two have done a lot of "cross-border" things. How to treat athletes crossing the line?

Sui Wenjing: I never think that one can only do one thing in one's life. This is my entrance to life. Many years ago, I wanted to be a slash youth. It took us 20 years to complete a sport. Why can't we try something else? Other experiences can also help me become a better athlete.

I take online classes in my spare time, and in the process of learning, I see a new world. Life is always trying. Don't think there is only one possibility. People living in this world have infinite possibilities.

Sino-Singapore Sports: Has your mentality changed after winning the Beijing Winter Olympics?

Han Cong: It has indeed changed. If you face the game again, your mood may be different. Doing one thing well and achieving success on the road of life can also help other things. I have a strange feeling, as if I am sublimating and constantly changing.

Sui Wenjing: No feeling. The Beijing Winter Olympics is still a starting point. I still start from scratch as before and learn new things.

For example, when I met Sue, I learned aggression and courage from him. With Han Congge, I learned his steadiness. Everyone is my teacher. Next, I will try something new, including learning choreography, choreography and so on. Through the accumulation of time, I will accumulate my own artistic appreciation ability.

Sino-Singapore Sports: It is very important to win the championship in Beijing Winter Olympics and complete the four-week twist with high quality. This action tests the tacit understanding and trust between partners. Will you encounter difficulties in training? How to overcome it?

Han Cong: Twist around. We have been practicing this movement since childhood, and the process is quite difficult. At that time, Xiao Sui was light and not so tall. We have more sense of gap, so we'd better finish the action.

With the growth of age and the emergence of injuries, there are also very dangerous falls in practice. But we have overcome these problems, because we all want to win glory for our country in this Winter Olympics. It is a very complicated and difficult process to practice 2 or 3 times a day from the beginning to 5 times a day, 10 times.

Sui Wenjing: Love and hate twisted for 4 weeks. Because the height of more than three meters directly falls on the ice, it is a test of the mentality when doing the next action. But I'm the kind of trust that can put my life in his hands.

In the last three months before the Winter Olympics, I tried to control my weight, control my sugar, and increase my training, so I was under the pressure of the Winter Olympics. These used to make me breathless, and I often began to cry as soon as I closed the door in the room.

At the Winter Olympics, I may weigh 77 or 78 pounds. I fainted before I went on stage, and I fainted again after I went on stage. When I fainted in the elevator for the first time, I felt someone was pinching me. I woke up and said my mouth hurt. (Laughter)

But I am also especially grateful for twisting around. Without this action, we can't win the championship.

Sino-Singapore Sports: Both of them have the experience of training alone after their partners' surgery and waiting for each other's return. What's it like to wait?

Han Cong: Waiting is a very painful thing. Sui Wenjing had an operation on 20 17. I watch others ice compress every day, and when my fingers itch, I borrow someone else's female companion. (Laughter)

At that time, I hope Wenjing can come back early and spend it in repeated sufferings. Wenjing returned to the ice for the first time. The doctor said that she would only be given 10 minute, but we slipped, slipping to 15 minute. When the doctor saw that there was not much problem, we felt very happy at that time.

Sui Wenjing: I laughed like a fat man of 100 Jin. I might have been a fat man of 100 Jin. (Laughter)

In fact, my experience after Han Congge's operation was even worse. I don't know when he will come back. He can visit me in the hospital during my operation, but because of the epidemic prevention and control, I can only prepare for the physical strength competition in Sanya.

We practiced in a tennis court under the sun in Sanya for three days, and I got some black colors. Practice three times a day and keep ironing. I remember buying a cake at that time, but everyone was controlling their weight and no one accompanied me to eat it. That kind of loneliness makes me feel particularly uncomfortable.

time

Sino-Singapore Sports: What are the most satisfactory and regrettable differences between the two partners over the years?

Han Cong: What I am most satisfied with is that I have gained my best friends, dancers, coaches and so on. Once regrets, now are beautiful memories.

These good and bad are combined. When you reach a certain stage, when you look back, you will find that they are all beautiful, all for your growth and maturity. If we hadn't faced the difficulties together and given up halfway, we wouldn't have seen the scenery like today.

Sui Wenjing: I think everything is the best arrangement. Everything is given by life. I especially hope to continue to love this world, because I know many people love me.

Unfortunately, I don't have more time to spend with my family. I haven't spent at least 10 New Year with my family. I hope to spend more time with them in the future.

Every time I go home, I feel that I am the happiest child. Although the time is very short, all I reach for is clothes, and even grandma will cook hard dishes for me in the morning.

Sino-Singapore Sports: It seems that you two are very different. How do you usually handle this difference?

Han Cong: We are people with different personalities. We look at things from different angles and have different views. These different viewpoints help us to look at many things from each other's perspective.

At this time, we will reach a state of resonance, know that we should go in one direction, and use her perspective and my perspective to fill the gap between us and achieve a better state.

Sino-Singapore Sports: Many people are particularly concerned about when you will return to the stadium. Is there a specific timetable?

Sui Wenjing: There is no specific time at present, but we are already discussing the next training plan, including the details of the arrangement, which should be decided according to the physical recovery. Next, I may continue to study and enrich myself, so that I can continue to struggle in life and figure skating and become a better myself. (author PG One)
