"I think after the surgery, my mindset going into competitions has changed a bit," Sui said. "Now, besides the result, I really enjoy every moment skating on the ice, skating in front of the audience who cheer and applaud for you. I now see our performance as a way of communication with the audience, and I felt great about being able to move them with our skating. I think this is what I enjoy the most about skating now."
"After what we've been through this year, now we are afraid of nothing, and we have really learned to enjoy the competitions and enjoy skating," Han said.

This segment of a recent video uploaded on the Olympic channel includes interviews in Chinese about China's figure skating program (and a bit of practice footage of Zhao coaching at the Beijing rink) with Shen and Zhao, followed by Sui and Han starting around 13:15: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVw-ZAplBIo&t=11m45s

Sui/Han interview at Champion Rink, May 2017: Lori Nichol has already choreographed 2 new programs for them for next season. They might still adjust the choreography during the off season. Wenjing says Lori was very dedicated and thought of everything, helped them find their strongest points and show them off.

The blog also posted these 2 photos from weibo last month - Sui/Han with Gordeeva, Pelletier and Lori Nichol in Canada: http://fyeahchinesepairs.tumblr.com/post/159496018547/suihan-with-ekaterina-gordeeva-david-pelletier
