We now have more than 300 million people involved in winter sports and related activities and as many as 1,400 indoor ice rinks as far as I know. I've seen children born in the warmer southern cities grow interested in winter sports and learn to enjoy skating after watching us compete at Beijing 2022. This has motivated me to make further contributions to the development of winter sports by continuing training and competing at my best while taking part in more grassroots promotion events.
