As Milano-Cortina 2026 approaches, Qi keeps expectations grounded. "The federation hasn't set medal targets, but we'll aim high. I tell my skaters to control the process, rather than the outcome. Execute the plan, nail the tactics and results will follow."
"Passion is energy" serves as the mantra that drives Qi through every decision.
"As long as you have passion, and a strong liking for something, you'll have enough energy to accomplish what you want to achieve," she said.
