"Our young athletes performed well in this World Cup stop, and I'm so happy to see that," said Qi, a four-time Winter Olympian as well as men's aerials champion at Beijing 2022.
"It's true that in my age I have to put more efforts in adjusting my fitness, but I want to find my rhythm back in order to prepare well for the next Winter Olympics," said the 33-year-old veteran.
