What dies it mean Yu/Zhang are not ready? What did I miss? Habe there been any serious injury?
Hao Zhang will be 38 in Beijing 2022 (maybe 40 if you believe in the stuff on wikipedia). He is the oldes skater out here. Skipping worlds seems crazy.
In one of their interview Hao Zhang said he is in Beijing Sport University studying for the graduate degree. He is having his final exams recently. Yu attented Japanese grade N1 which is the highest level of Japanese-Language Proficiency Test. They only practiced their sp three weeks before the nationals and they haven't practiced their long program.
They said they will not attend 4CC this year. They will keep the programs for next season.
