Xinhua News Agency, Washington, February 9 (reporter Wang Jiyi) in the double skating competition of the Four Continents Figure Skating Championships in 2019 held on 9th, the Chinese team Sui Wenjing/Han Cong won the best in free skating, with a 0.06-point advantage, Canadian star Moore-Towers/Marinaro won the championship.
Another pair of Chinese group Peng Cheng/Jin Yang won the third place with 205.42 points.
This event was held in Anaheim, California, USA. In the previous short program competition, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong ranked second, after Moore-Towers/Marinaro, but the difference was less than 0.5 points. In the free skating competition held on that day, the two pairs were still difficult to distinguish, and there were also some minor flaws. Finally, Sui Wenjing/Han Cong won the first place in free skating with 136.92 points, and won the gold medal with a total score of 211.11 points. Moore-Towers/Marinaro won the silver medal with 211.05 points.
Because the female companion Sui Wenjing was diagnosed with fatigue fracture of his right foot after the Winter Olympics in Pingchang last year, the champion of the world championship called “onion barrel combination” by fans, the silver medal combination of the Winter Olympics has been away from the stadium for 10 months and began to try to return in January this year. This champion is an affirmation of Sui Wenjing/Han Cong’s efforts to recover in half a year, which proves their strength. Sui Wenjing/Han Cong will also be a strong contender for the championship in the flower skating world championship that will come in March.
Sui Wenjing said: “We were still very nervous before the competition. I am very happy to finish entire exercise successfully, but to be honest, this is not the best US. We will continue to work hard and strive to slide better in future competitions.” Han Cong also said after the game that entire exercise has not yet reached perfection and still needs to be polished.
The ability to overcome injuries and quickly reach the peak also makes Sui Wenjing feel deeply. She said: “I am very grateful to those who help and support me, and I am more grateful to our opponents.”
Losing the game by a narrow margin made the Canadian ace team Moore-Towers/Marinaro feel a little regretful. Moore Toles said after the game: “We are very proud of ourselves, but it is a pity for me to pass the champion. If the whole performance can be more elaborate, maybe the result is different. We are quite satisfied with today’s competition. We have also seen the need to continue to improve. We will make further efforts to prepare for the world championship.”
