Beijing became Ge's main training base in 2013.[6] In autumn of that year, he received his first Grand Prix assignment, the 2013 Rostelecom Cup. In February 2014, Ge competed at the Winter Olympics in Sochi and finished 17th.[2]

In October, he won gold at an ISU Challenger Series event, the 2015 CS Denkova-Staviski Cup.
