Han Xiaopeng Quotations

We decided to go for the easy jump, because I had the impression that the harder double full-full-full won't impress the judges for higher scores. I think we made the right decision.

I felt a lot of pressure, especially for the second jump. I know if I perform my best, I'm pretty sure I will get into the final. But to be ranked at number one in the qualification, it is a big surprise for me because all I want to do is to get into the final.

I think I feel more relieved because we have already made a historical breakthrough for the Chinese men's aerials. As you know, we had never got into the finals at previous Olympics.

Managing to jump from the triple kicker with such a severe injury, I gained much confidence at that time and I promised to train harder while back in China and try to taste a medal four years later.

We have been waiting for this medal for a long time.

When my coach and team-mates went abroad for competitions, I had to lay on the bed alone, so I felt extremely upset and even thought of retiring. But leaving the platform like that was not the result that I wanted, so I did not give up.

When I saw the snow for the first time in my life, I felt very excited. The weather condition was much better than I thought, and I became accustomed to it soon.

Except for doing some somersaults on the ground, I knew nothing about the aerials at the beginning. I have to learn all the basic skills, such as skiing, swimming and inline skating. When I touched skiing, I learned very fast and I realized that I could do the sport well in the future.

Qualifying for the final has already been a big breakthrough for China, so I felt no pressure at all before the final today. I just told myself that I would do my best and fight for the best results for China.

The Canadian coaches are working very hard. This is the first time we have foreign coaches. Before that we really don't know how to work with them. But since they came, we got great help from them. Whenever we feel frustrated, they always encourage us, and help us get out of the frustration. Besides, they are really nice people, very kind.

I had never thought this would happen. I feel like I am in a dream.

I never thought this would happen. I'm overjoyed with such a win. I feel like I'm in a dream.

Before we did not know how to co-operate with a foreign coach. But Wilson works very hard and very seriously. He always encourages us and explains why we must work hard. He is also a very kind man.

Freestyle, especially aerials, fits the Chinese because we are good at gymnastics.

I think aerials is designed for China and I'm happy to be the one to make this a reality.
