Focus on Jumps
In the 1990's Yao Bin focused on the throw quad salchow for his pairs students like Shen and Zhao. [2] Chinese Men like Guo Zhengxin, Chenjiang Li and Zhang Min focused on such jumps as the quad salchow and quad toe loop.
Age controversy
In February 2011, pairs skaters Wenjing Sui and Cong Han's ages became the subject of controversy. Although his ISU bio lists Han as born on August 6, 1992, a Chinese website suggests he was born in March 1989.[3] This would mean that during the 2010-11 season he is too old for junior events.[3] His partner's age also came under scrutiny. Her ISU bio states that she was born on July 18, 1995 but the Chinese website suggests she was born on May 7, 1997, making her 12 and thus, too young to compete in junior events during the 2009–10 season, including the 2010 World Junior Championships, as well as senior Grand Prix events during the 2010–11 season.[3]
