When I was half way through my Chinese exile, Xiao Jian (my coach) started the process to immigrate to Canada. I even did my part in some forms and videos saying that he is one of the best coach in China and that Canada would benefit from his immigration. Then every now and then during the next two years, I heard some things about the process being long and complicated.
In February, he finally immigrated in Toronto with his family! Since then, I was able to work with him on a daily basis, instead of seeing him for one day or two in tournaments because he is still the national coach for Team China. My training is now back on track and we do a lot of follow up on daily training, on tournaments, and to see what I should prioritize in my training at the moment.
Now that my hip is better and my coach is here now, I have 3 lessons per week plus a coach that follows my daily training and correct my trajectory multiple times a day. The final sprint towards my Olympic qualification could not be in a better environment.
