For Chen Lu, China's first women's figure skating world champion, the way to continue a life on ice is helping provide a place for more youth to join the sport.
As the manager of the World Ice Arena, an upscale mall rink in Shenzhen, she was among the first in the country to run a commercial ice arena.
After retiring from competition after the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympic Games, where Chen claimed her second Olympic bronze medal, she performed with a commercial skating show in the United States until she was offered a chance to run an ice arena by property developer China Resources Land.
