In Shen and Zhao Hongbo's opinion, they had some regrets about their own performance. "Personally, I think there wasn't much problem, but the expression in our program was not fully conveyed, and for this, I feel quite sorry," said Shen. Shen revealed that Zhao Hongbo got injured on Saturday. "Before we were ready to start our show, there were a lot of difficult moves, but since he got injured on Saturday, we initially ignored it, thinking there was no problem. But after checking on Sunday, the doctor suddenly said that maybe we should take an X-ray now. We found out that it was a fracture, which scared both of us," Shen said. Due to Zhao Hongbo's injury, they had to abandon the difficult moves during the show. "Today, all the lifts, twisting turns, and jumps, we couldn't do these moves because his right hand is injured, so we feel very sorry," Shen explained. Regarding the splendid opening ceremony, Shen and Zhao Hongbo also expressed their appreciation. Shen said: "The stage effect with colorful lights was excellent, which gave us a lot of pressure. We can only keep improving ourselves." Zhao Hongbo added: "I think this is like crossing boundaries; we must combine ice art and the effects of the stage perfectly, which is also a big challenge." Shen praised the fascinating performance of the speed skaters at the opening ceremony. "In the past, speed skaters are rarely seen on the ice, but in the performance, we saw many speed skater athletes perform beautifully and solidly." Zhao Hongbo added: "Ice concert combines speed and music."
