Shen Xue is one of the most popular and richest Figure Skater who was born on November 13, 1978 in Harbin, China. Shen Xue (Chinese: Shen Xue (pinyin: Shen Xue ; born 13 November 1978) is a Chinese pair skater. Along with her husband and partner Zhao Hongbo, Shen is the 2010 Olympic champion, and the 2002 and the 2006 Olympic bronze medalists, a triple World champion (2002 2003, 2002, and 2007) and the triple-time Four Continents Champion (1999, 2003, and 2007) and 6-time Grand Prix Final champion (1998 1999, 2000 2004, 2006 and 2005).
Shen Zhao and Shen Zhao became the first Chinese pair to earn an award during the International Skating Union event and at the World Figure Skating Championships. In 2002 they were the very first Chinese couple skating team take home the World Championship. They were also among the very first Chinese pair skaters who have won an award in the Winter Olympic Games. In 2010 they were their first Chinese skaters to earn the medal of gold at the Winter Olympic Games in any figure skating discipline and ended nearly half 100 years of Russian and Soviet dominance of pair skating.
Shen and Zhao won gold medals at the 2004 Skate Canada, at the 2004 Trophée Eric Bompard and at the 2004 Cup of China. Following their wins at all their Grand Prix events, they also won the 2004–2005 Grand Prix Final in Beijing, China, placing first in the short program with 70.52 points and in the free skate scoring 136.02. Overall they won the gold medal earning a total of 206.54 points, 19.22 ahead of Maria Petrova & Alexei Tikhonov, who placed second in both segments of the competition. As a result, they set a new world record for the short program, for the free skate and for the combined total score under the ISU Judging System.
Their attempt to win a third straight World title in 2004 was thwarted when Zhao fell during their short program and the team placed fourth in that segment. They rebounded to win the free program with a string of 6.0s, and moved up to finish second overall behind Tatiana Totmianina & Maxim Marinin.
In 2002, at the World Figure Skating Championships held in Nagano, Japan, Shen and Zhao took home the first World Championship, becoming the first Chinese pair skaters to earn the silver medal during the sport of figure skating. In March 2003, as World Champions they also took home the 2nd World Championship in Washington D.C., United States. When they were practicing their throw salchow quadruple, Shen landed badly and injured her landing foot as well as ankle. She needed multiple treatments to completely numb her foot in order to be able to participate. The duo performed a fantastic long course which earned them several excellent 6.0’s for technical merits as well as presentation.
