The International Skating Union (ISU) is investigating an incident involving Chinese figure skaters Jianfeng Ren and Jianning Xing at the Chongqing Grand Prix. During the post-performance tradition of receiving soft toys from spectators, a plush toy resembling a ballistic missile, specifically the DF-61, was presented by the skaters and their coaches. Broadcast video of the event drew attention from the ISU, which described the act as “inappropriate.” The DF-61 is a new ballistic missile produced in China and capable of carrying nuclear weapons, having been showcased at a September military parade. Ren and Xing finished eighth in the competition, with Madison Chock and Evan Bates taking first place. The ISU has initiated an inquiry into the incident, and the event has been trending under the hashtags #China #FigureSkating.
