The International Skating Union (ISU) just dropped its coolest upgrade yet – and Beijing’s Capital Indoor Stadium was the **epicenter of the ice action** this weekend! 🌟 ISU President Kim Jae-youl, the first non-European leader in the organization’s 131-year history, spilled the tea to CGTN Sports Scene about the game-changing Team Crystal Globe initiative. Think ‘Avengers assemble’ but for short track skaters – with fresh team mascots, revamped racing suits, and a points system that rewards squad goals! 🦸♀️⛸️

What’s New?

Gone are the days of solo glory. The new Team Crystal Globe turns skaters into #SquadGoals, tallying collective points across the season. “This creates closer bonding and teamwork,” said Kim, hyping up the skaters’ drive to smash records. And smash they did – a **world record** in the mixed relay lit up the Beijing arena! 🚀

China’s Ice Legacy: From Olympics to World Tour

Shoutout to Beijing’s Olympic venues! ❄️ Kim praised China’s post-Games hustle: “We had 20 personal bests at the Ice Ribbon last week… The ice quality? *Chef’s kiss*.” From flawless organization to volunteer swag, he called China a “happy” host – just in time for the **2026 Winter Olympics prep**!

What’s Next?

Mark your calendars: Top skaters return to Beijing March 14-16 for the World Championships. With Team Crystal Globe bragging rights and 2026 Olympic momentum on the line, this season’s drama is hotter than a Zamboni’s engine. 🔥
