Won four gold medals at the 2016 Winter Games. "Li Xin is very tenacious and very ambitious. She had a dream to win the Winter Games championship, and today she realized it. In fact, she has come back a lot, because the injury has never left her in the past two years, and it was very serious. She put a lot of demands on herself, and she would have regretted not being able to win the Winter Games championship. Now that her wish has finally come true, we are proud of her." - Wang Yanping, coach of the Harbin team at the Heilongjiang Snow Training Center (ts.cn, 26 Jan 2016)
