Chinese skating news & social media updates pt. 5, 2023 onwards

[On My Own]

Wait, something I just noticed, because I was caught up in the entire thing on social media. The header says 2024-25 season. Is this accurate for this season (25-26)? I'm asking honestly because I don't believe I've ever accessed these documents before, so don't know how the headers usually look like.

Or is this the latest one and the header is a mistake?

@Andrea82

ETA: Well the date in the footer says "20 May 2025" so maybe a mistake?

We are still in the 2024-25 season until June 30th.

So Cong was added very much towards the end of this season.

OTOH, the Sui/Han info desk, which I think is also run by their close fans, posted Wenjing's registration on the list on the Wenjing super talk/fan thread. They've also as of now not said anything about Han Cong being back, nor have they (again, as of now) pulled the Doping pool up either, even though it contains both of them.

Here let me repost it, for convenience:

That guy got into trouble with sexual harassment or something to that effect.

No?

Where are some of you getting this "news"?

When did that go down?

It never "went down". Although, must say, it's a convenient story, when they can't even get Wang and Liu to stop training or using the provincial rinks, and a lot of Chinese fans shamelessly flock to them for photo ops yet will screech excitedly that Sui/Han are back because "Li is suspended due to misconduct and don't ask us for any evidence!".

And misconduct =/= sexual misconduct, even if it did happen.

And they're... back!

And Chongqing is confirmed as the location for CoC.

Please, please, PLEASE tell me he's not hinting at what I'm thinking he's hinting at with Wang/Liu there. https://m.weibo.cn/detail/5174692516202963

I was happy to not see them on the GP list, but there is, after all, a TBD...
