I was scrolling through my phone during my morning tea break here in London when a blurred video thumbnail caught my eye - it was Sui Wenjing and Han Cong on ice, but the video kept buffering every three seconds. My heart actually raced a little, the same way it does when I smell freshly baked bread from the Chinese bakery downstairs that reminds me of home.

The caption said they'd placed third in their comeback after three years away. Three years! I remember watching them win gold back in 2022 from my Beijing apartment, eating sunflower seeds with my roommate while cheering so loud our neighbor knocked on the wall. Now here I am, squinting at pixelated footage that keeps freezing right at their signature lift.

What got me was Sui's quote about 'carrying a flame through darkness' - her voice cracking slightly in the interview. You could hear the arena's quiet anticipation before she spoke, that particular hush that only happens when everyone knows they're witnessing something special. My British colleague asked why I was getting emotional over a frozen screen, and I couldn't explain that it's like hearing your little sister's graduation speech through a bad phone connection.

The International Skating Union giving them full marks for their condition? Not surprising. These two have that rare chemistry - even through buffering videos, you can see how Han's hands never tremble when lifting Sui, how her landing creates that perfect scratching sound on ice that used to echo through my childhood living room during winter Olympics broadcasts.

Honestly, most of my Chinese friends abroad have similar frustrations. My cousin in Melbourne missed the entire competition because her VPN failed. My university classmate in Toronto said she finally gave up and called her parents in Shanghai to hold the phone to their TV speaker. We're all out here trying to piece together these moments that feel like hometown news delivered through a broken telephone.

When Sui mentioned people gathering around her flame, I immediately thought of our WeChat group - twelve overseas Chinese friends sharing whatever clips we could salvage, like passing around pieces of a precious photo. Someone found a clear version of their spiral sequence, another captured the moment they hugged their coach. We were literally the people gathering around that flickering screen flame.

So yeah, maybe I don't understand the technicalities of their triple twists anymore, and maybe my sports knowledge is limited to what I can gather between work shifts. But watching athletes like Sui and Han fight back reminds me why we keep trying to break through these digital walls - because some victories taste sweeter when shared, even if we're tasting them through occasionally frozen screens from thousands of miles away.
