Champion pairs figure skater Zhao getting used to new role as coach

Zhao Hongbo has just completed his fifth Winter Olympics trip but, this time, it was as a coach of China's figure skating pairs team and not as an athlete.

It was not a particularly successful campaign as the Chinese pairs failed to get a medal at the Sochi Winter Olympic Games as the veteran pair of Pang Qing and Tong Jian finished fourth and Zhang Hao and Peng Cheng were eighth.
