China News ServiceBeijing, February 12 (Reporter Zhang Su Mao Jianjun) In the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating ice dance rhythm dance competition held on the evening of the 12th, Chinese ice dance group Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu scored 73.41 points. Before the whole match was over, he had already advanced to the free dance stage, which was a breakthrough compared to the Pyeongchang arena four years ago.
A total of 23 pairs of ice dance groups appeared in this game, Wang ShiYue/Liu Xinyu is the 11th to appear. Liu Xinyu, who wears the “Elvis” signature big back, and Wang Shiyue, who has a high ponytail, will get cheers and applause from the audience every time they appear. Accompanied by the melody of “Trouble” and “Blue Sheepskin Boots”, they performed agilely, and at the end of the game, the real-time technical score had already surpassed the combination of the Russian Olympic Committee team who played earlier.
“I still feel very satisfied.” Liu Xinyu said that the two enjoyed today’s game very much, “I feel better than the team competition.”
Wang Shiyue said that now the mind is clearer on the field, and the two enjoy the game more. Now, although I am looking forward to the scores and rankings, the more important thing is to show the training level.
Four years ago, the Chinese duo ranked 22nd in the ice dance rhythm dance at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, falling out of the first round. Among them, Wang Shiyue was deducted for having an ornament falling off her clothes. At the 2021 World Championships, they finished 13th.
It is worth mentioning that in the mixed interview area, Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu met the Japanese ice dance group Komatsuhara and his wife who were not in the free dance stage. The two ice dance groups, also from Asia, hug each other and encourage each other.
