  • After a successful season last year, they were invited to participate in exhibitions for the first time. Then Shen could not train for a month due to a broken nose.

  • Zhao's father is a violinist and his mother works in a clothing factory in Harbin. Shen's parents both work in a shop. Shen began skating at age 8. She was a sickly child, and her parents pushed her into sports to help her get stronger.
