Shen/Zhao are the first pair from China to become World Champions. They have been skating together since 1992. Both started as single skaters and Shen was paired with Zhao when his former partner retired. They name 1988 and 1994 Olympic Champions Gordeeva/Grinkov as their idols in skating. Shen/Zhao have landed quadruple throw Salchows in practice. The couple withdrew from the 2005 World Championships as Zhao suffered from an achilles tendon injury. He ruptured his achilles tendon while practising a triple toeloop in August 2005 and was off the ice for months. The couple came back to competition for the 2006 Olympic Winter Games. Coach Bin Yao was on the first team that represented China in a World Championship (Dortmund 1980).
