How fitting that the Chinese pair Shen and Zhao won the short program at the Olympics on Valentine’s Day. A pair both on and off the ice, they hit all their tricks. Not bad for an old married couple who retired from competitive skating after winning gold at Worlds in 2007. My Sweetie and I were in China when he proposed to her at the end of their skate. How proud the Chinese were of this golden couple.
When I learned that they would be competing at Skate America last November, I knew I had to see them again. I was at Worlds in DC in 2003 when they brought down the house. They did not disappoint. My friend and I waved Chinese flags and yelled. During their victory lap I thanked them for coming out of retirement. Shen beamed at me and gave me a nod of her head.
This article gives yet another view of this talented couple. Shen and Zhao
Now there are 4 pairs left to skate their long programs. Please let them be golden one last time!
