"We're well-rounded in both forward and switch tricks, as well as in overall difficulty and variety," Zhang said. "In training, we design our runs based on both the judges' scoring preferences and our strengths."

However, she acknowledged ongoing challenges. "We don't always perform well—it often comes down to experience and consistency. Many competitors have been on snow longer than us, so we need to focus on improving our stability."
