She recalled the scene when she kissed the ice at the Beijing Winter Olympics: "Many people thought I was going to retire, but in fact I just wanted to express my love for this ice rink, and my love for this project. She said: "I believe that our inner persistence and perseverance will surely compose a magnificent chapter in life till the end."



Four-time Winter Olympic winner, Wang Meng looked back on her career. As a world-class athlete who once pioneered the "Meng Era", she participated as a more diverse identity after retiring in the Olympic Games held by her motherland, and she was extremely proud and deeply felt the heavy responsibility on her shoulders.
