  In the youth group competition, Chen Yudong and An Xiangyi won the men's and women's single skating championship, Liu Tong/Ge Quanshuo won the ice dance championship, and the Young Dream team won the team skating championship.

  In the adult group competition, Chen Yudong and An Xiangyi won the men's and women's single skating championship, Yang Yixi/Deng Shunyang won the double skating championship, and Li Xuantong/Wang Xinkang won the ice dance championship.

  Talking about the performance of this club league, Chen Yudong said: "The completion of these two sets of programs is not bad. There were some small mistakes in the game, which may be because I didn't (participate) in the game for half a year."

  However, finding problems through this competition will also help him prepare for the Polish Station of the International Skating Union Youth Grand Prix at the end of September.

"The next step will continue to improve the jumping difficulty technique, stability and success rate, hoping to play the training level in the competition."

  An Xiangyi will also make every effort to prepare for the ISU Youth Grand Prix after the Club League competition.

This season, she chose "Joker Appearance" in the short program, which is also a classic work by South Korean player Kim Yuna.

  According to An Xiangyi, this is the first time she has tried to skate a musical, and the original intention of choosing this track is to pay tribute to her predecessor, Jin Yaner.

The free skating track is "The Theory of Everything" in a modern dance style.

Introducing how to express this theme, she said: "When skating this program, I imagined myself as a girl walking in space."

  "Growing pains" are still haunting An Xiangyi.

The height has grown from 1.53 meters at the beginning of the year to nearly 1.58 meters. The senior three-week jumping "running away from home" all year round makes her feel very uncertain.

But of course, there are good things happening on the way of growth. At present, what An Xiangyi is more satisfied with is the progress of the rotation movement and the more mature artistic expression.

  Talking about the goals of this season, An Xiangyi expressed her determination to "fight" to the end with all the difficulties on the road of growth.

  So far, all three competitions of the China Figure Skating Club League in 2022 have ended.

The three sub-stations of this club league are all in the form of online competitions, and athletes can freely choose to participate in the competition.

According to statistics, the three competitions attracted a total of 1,905 people to participate actively, with a total of 1,286 sets of participating programs, setting the highest number of applicants in the past.
