I won’t go too much into this since it’s not yet official, but this is truly heartbreaking Zijun is seriously one of my favourite skaters out there, and I’m so sad to see that she really might be leaving the sport.
To be honest though, I kinda saw this coming sooner than I initially expected. After years of struggling with stamina, having problems with eating, being directly attacked on instagram, being constantly underscored by the judges, and even fighting with her own federation, I understand why she’d want to stop at this point. All I hope for now (if she really is retiring) is that she can be truly happy with whatever she does next...
