Well hopefully they will be now, seeing that there are many on the comment and repost section saying as much, and are also reaming Jia. I think this might turn out to be a good thing.
ETA: it made this twitter page.

Wow wow wow, Chinese pairs men stay absolute trash. (Though that's pairs men in general, let's be real.) Can any of them find a woman his own age and work with her without gaslighting her, giving her an eating disorder and/or posting on social media that because she has suicidal depression she's lazy and didn't support his career enough, or would that be too hard?
Pairs as a discipline is completely horrifying in its treatment of women. They need to tighten the age gap rules even further just to spite these assholes (and also make the rampant exploitation of young girls slightly harder to accomplish).
Anyway, I hope Wang has people in her corner taking care of her because that's the most important thing here. I can't imagine how I would have felt seeing a post like that about me at her young age, for all to see on social media, and I don't have mental health problems! I think I would have developed them on the spot.

Apparently, Jia deleted his Weibo statement furtively. All his claims regarding Wang are not believable now, and it just proved that Jia is a typical misogynist who doesn't want to bear responsibility and shifts the blame to the girl by calling her "a psycho" for justifying himself.

Did see this other weibo post about it: https://m.weibo.cn/status/MDsWRnC2E (person posted screenshots of the response, so sending here)
Something about there being a lot of insulting posts about Wang in the 2019-20 season.

Could be a good thing for her if she cooperates with different choreographers to develop more different styles
Completely forgot where the thread to post it into is, but tangentially related to here anyway.
Shenyang after that (2026-27 4CCs), Harbin (2026-27 JWC), Beijing (2026-27 Worlds). Shenyang is new, too. China's clearly interested in expanding its skating scene, and you have to think it'll succeed in getting one if not two of these.

Latest update was posted yesterday in the ISU Championship Bids/Allotments thread: https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/th...2024-2025-and-2026.109977/page-3#post-6427080

The boy standing next to her is Yu-Hsiang LI (TPE) - I recall them in a photo or two together at Junior Worlds.

Raruki said David Day, and I have to hope for it, he's great. Like him more than Yudong. Hope he can get that 3A under control.
BeVeRLy? Or Angel Li or Jiaying Cheng who was going to go last season for the senior mins?
Wouldn't it be "funny" is Peng/Wang (if they're really formed) snatch that worlds spot from Zhang/Yang. But I guess this mysterious couple is much more likely to actually get two spots back lol.
I'd say Peng/Wang are almost guaranteed to take that worlds spot should they compete. They're obviously a big question mark but it's hard to imagine them being worse than barely making the free skate thanks to a catastrophic mistake by a junior team.
Watching some of Lei's skating, I think they'd be a good match, simply because on the ice he looks (height and build) and skates a lot like Yang lol. I wonder if that's a part of why she supposedly chose him.

I would say WANG Lei is technically and physically superior to JIN Yang, but the real problem for Lei is he is not young and away from the competition and training for almost a whole Olympic cycle. But at least they are not training under that creepy ZTC, and Beijing Century Star skating club does have some decent pair skating coaches like HAN Bing.

Sylvia mentioned that Benoit went to Korea to choreograph some Korean skaters, but he only went to the CHI Hyun-jung's ice rink, not the Triple Kim's ice rink. So she might go to their ice rink for choreographing the new programs with SHIN Yeaji or work on her Lutz jumps？
If you follow her fan club's IG, her fan club just posted some photos of Nini visiting her family in Korea and wearing Hanbok. Not gonna paste the link though as her fan club urges everyone not to reproduce any photos of her family visit.
I mean if it's on instagram, they can clearly be shared. It probably applies to those kids on weibo who circulate pictures without context (especially with the way many on cnetz are awful towards Koreans, it's probably for the good). But anyway. Happy to know she actually still has family in Korea! If she really does move, then hopefully she'll still have familial support. Does she speak Korean? (she looks very pretty in Hanbok!)
Korean coaches can hopefully help her clean up her jumps.

Many Korean minorities in China have migrated to Korea for making a living after China established a diplomatic relationship with Korea in the 90s, so it is not surprising that Nini does have family in Korea as she is a Korean minority.
Not sure whether Nini can speak Korean or not, but she can speak very fluent English as she can interview with the press in Full English without any effort. She is also practicing Japanese a little bit.

Wenjing posted a piece of choreography. I wonder how she'd fare with a senior, maybe she can do an exhibition program first.

According to LI Xuantong's IG Stories, Team Zheng Xun is now working with Natalia Linichuk.
So glad that Team Heilongjiang is seriously investing in its ice dance teams.

Many skaters might withdraw from the Chinese nationals as well. I have heard that many of those who got covid are struggling to recover from the long covid symptoms and find it pretty hard to bring back their stamina and momentums after recovering from COVID. Thank you for that update. That is...

I hope you guys chill from now on, lol, not everything is calamity and apocalypse.
Chinese sports authority is eyeing singles skating this Olympic cycle. They are now searching for the skaters who have the potential to land quads and gather all of them in an Eteri’s style training camp to practice quads.
What came of this?

Chinese sports authority held a mobilization meeting for Milan 2026.
The Winter sports management center Chairman criticized the Chinese figure skating lacking a talent pool and said “nothing can be praised” among young skaters. (Nini: Am I a joke?）
But we still got some good news about the developments of figure skating.

Some athletes can train overseas by settling down an agreement among the local sports authority, the Winter sports authority, and the athletes, and All three parties should bear the training cost, set up the key performance indicators, get strict scrutiny of the performance, provide enough incentives, and improve the performance of the athletes.
Some events which are highly commercialized, have a good number of attendants, can be supported by the local authority, they can organize and train in multiple ways via sports clubs, family, overseas training, or national teams for short-term training for the competition.

LoL, I just heard that Heilongjiang didn't spend a single penny on their overseas training, and they have to spend their money with some sponsorships from IMG.Login • Instagram

It is much better, to be honest, commercialization should be the right path for Chinese figure skating. Any officials or authority should keep their sh*t out of the training or competition if they don’t spend a penny.
I mean I doubt they know a lick about skating.

Do you expect it to stay? Am I reading it correctly that Beijing wants to try for GPF?

HAN Cong was in Spain to have a seminar with some key members of the technical committee of ISU.
(one of them is Fabio Bianchetti?)
HAN is seriously pursuing a career in IFs.

Seems to me that the likelihood of Sui/Han returning to competition gets smaller and smaller with each passing week. Which is fine. I love 'em to bits, but they more than deserve to retire while they can both still walk and skate.
