Chinese ice dance group Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu won the 12th place in ice dance in the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating event on the 14th, refreshing The best performance of Chinese ice dance in the history of the Winter Olympics.
This "Winter Olympic Trip", whether it is the retro rock of rhythm dance or the Chinese kung fu of free dance, the performance of the two people is pleasing to the eye.
Especially on the 14th, the two of them wore competition uniforms in the style of "green mountains and green water". Draw a picture of "a thousand miles of rivers and mountains" on the ice.
At the moment when all the movements were over, Wang Shiyue burst into tears.
She said after the game that it was because the burden in her heart was finally put down.
Recalling the preparation experience of this Winter Olympics cycle, especially due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, they had to take online classes and communicate with coaches in the cloud. There were countless ups and downs. Fortunately, the two of them have gone through the "dark stage". Hold on till now.

Liu Xinyu added that they slipped out of the current best level in the arena in front of their home. Even if they did not reach the expected goal of "top 10 in the world", they were proud of themselves and their opponents.
Looking back at the Pyeongchang arena, Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu only ranked 22nd in the individual rhythm dance competition and failed to enter the free dance. The two were very frustrated.
Now that they are in Beijing, they first made contributions for the Chinese figure skating team to advance to the second stage of the team competition, and then pushed the Chinese ice dance to a new height in the individual competition.
Previously, the best result of China's ice dance event in the Winter Olympics was the 18th place in Albertville, France in 1992.
But Liu Xinyu thinks they still have room for improvement.
If there is still a chance to continue skating in the next four years, "we can definitely do better," he said.
Wang Shiyue also said that although they have not yet reached the world's top level, they believe that they dare to break through.
She recalled that after experiencing the blow in Pyeongchang, she once "did not dare to ski or look, and she was careful when doing things."
It is the team that gives them strength and support. "Maybe we started a little later, but we believe that we can catch up with our hard work the day after tomorrow."

As he said, compared to other figure skating events such as pair skating and women's single skating, there is still a big gap between Chinese ice dance groups and top European and American players.
However, a group of players represented by Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu have emerged, and the future can be expected.
"We have seen many good players through the domestic club league, and we hope to bring confidence to the children behind through our efforts." 27-year-old Liu Xinyu said with a smile.
