My Take
Zhang Kexin interests me as a reminder that national champions exist far beyond the sports the world bothers to televise. Becoming China's 2014 figure skating champion, in a country not famous for the discipline, demands real grit, and at 153 cm I imagine she fought for every point through speed and the sharpness of her spins. There is something fitting about a skater raised in icy Harbin. She seems to have retired since, but a championship is permanent. I genuinely like preserving the names of athletes who reached the summit of a nation, even if only for a season.
