1950 - 2006 Chinese Pair Skating History

An interesting look at some old photos from China, and the wonderful story of a young Chinese pairs skater, who didn't have great success himself; but took his nations program to the top of the World podium with his teaching and coaching.

"The audience laughted at them"? How could anyone laugh at two young skaters? That was very cruel and uncivilized!  German audience should be shamed of their rudeness.

Yes, it was a very unsportsmanlike action. But they received a warm response from many.  Skaters get 'uppity' sometimes! best wishes
