Sui and Han teamed up in 2007 without having previous pair skating experience. They both were inspired by 2010 Olympic Champions
Shen Xue and
Zhao Hongbo and started skating after watching them competing in the
2002 Winter Olympics. He also began working as a teaching assistant at
Tsinghua University while pursuing a master's degree in sport coaching at
Beijing Sport University. On August 15, 2023, Han announced his retirement from competitive figure skating stating that after a year and half of treating and rehabilitating a pre-existing injury that his current condition was not sufficient to support a return to competition. In response, Sui stated that she understood and supported Han's decision to retire. They made their official return to competition in late October at the
2025 Cup of China, where they won the bronze medal. Two weeks later, the team won bronze at
2025 NHK Trophy. They were first after the short program, but placed fourth in the free skate. “Personally, I feel it’s not really good today, because the energy in the second part is still not enough in this short time,” said Han after the free skate. “But we are so happy to compete in Japan, and we feel we can come back, and we have a feeling how to compete in this competition." The following month, Sui and Han took silver at the
2026 Four Continents Championships after placing first in the short program and fourth in the free skate. "This is my last Four Continents Championships, and today we were affected by the injury before the competition," said Han. "But I’m glad to win this medal for the last time." On February 6, Sui/Han placed sixth in the short program in the
2026 Winter Olympics Figure Skating Team Event. “Today wasn’t a good performance for us,” admitted Han. “We came to Milan with the priority of showing high quality, but during the competition we felt some nervousness and a lot of excitement. The audience gave us a lot of support, and we really felt the atmosphere, but a mistake happened. So, it wasn’t really good today. Still, we know we have time to prepare for our next competition.” On February 16, Sui/Han placed fifth overall at the
2026 Winter Olympics in the Pairs' individual event. “It’s a very memorable experience to stand on the Olympic ice in Milano," said Han. "We are satisfied because we have already been Olympic champions before, and this time we only had a very short period to prepare. I think just being able to stand here and be satisfied with our performance is already a win.” Both skaters confirmed that this was their very last performance together on the ice. == Age controversy ==
