Pronunciation tip: Chinese figure skating team at the 2026 Winter Olympics

I’ve finally made another pronunciation tip video. Well, with the Olympics coming around, there are always names that English speakers are going to get confused by. So I’ve taken the occasion to give a quick lesson in what to do when you want to say a Chinese name – specifically one of the names of the Chinese figure skating team for the 2026 Winter Olympics: Jin Boyang, Zhang Ruiyang, Sui Wenjing, Han Cong, Wang Shiyue, and Liu Xinyu.
