[Sports News]The Hong Kong team, which just won 2 golds and 1 bronze in the Asian Karate Championships, returned to Hong Kong from Malaysia yesterday (24th) afternoon. Liu Mushang (Grace), who won the women’s individual figure for the first time, hopes to show everyone a different self at the Hangzhou Asian Games. Teammate Zeng Yiting, who won gold in the free group, and bronze medalist Zheng Xubin both pointed out that the Asian Championships are a boost for the Asian Games, and they look forward to striving for better results.
The Hong Kong Karate team was all smiles when they returned to Hong Kong yesterday, and was congratulated by the staff of the Karate Association presenting them with bouquets. Lau Mo-sheung beat Japan’s Nozomi Shimizu to win the gold for the first time in the Asian Championships. She admitted that the Hong Kong team had advanced to the finals in the past but missed the gold medal. This victory gave her great significance and was also an honor for the Hong Kong team. She clearly stated that the biggest opponent in the Asian Games is Japan, and she has confirmed that Nozomi Shimizu will play in the Asian Games.

However, Grace also bluntly said that no game is sure, and she will only try her best to do well in each game. I hope everyone can see her change: “I hope that my mentality is not as “fine” as before. Now that I have more experience in competitions, I hope I can mature and deal with the competition calmly.” She also thanked the coach and training team. The new coach has improved her physical fitness and confidence in the past two years. Asked about the arrangements before the Asian Games, Grace revealed that the Hong Kong team will invite world-class athletes to come to Hong Kong for two weeks of training. And Grace will return to the United States to train skills, until September to participate in the Karate Super League, and then leave for Shanghai to stay for a few days, and then go to Hangzhou to compete in the Asian Games.

Freedom athlete Zeng Yiting also won the Asian Championships for the first time. She pointed out that seeing her teammates win the prize before the competition made her very nervous, but at the same time it gave her confidence. She also pointed out that the Asian Championships achieved the pre-competition goals, so she is very confident in the Asian Games, but she still puts herself first: “There are many high-level athletes in Asia. I think the most important thing is to focus on yourself, be yourself, trust the coach and the team, and you will be able to occupy a seat in the Asian Games.” Regarding the preparations for the Asian Games, she predicts that the final opponent of the Asian Championships will be the main opponent of the Asian Games. The two have also played against each other in the Karate Super League.
Zheng Xubin hopes to achieve good results in the Asian Games.
The 20-year-old Zheng Xubin participated in the Asian Championships for the second time. He admitted that there is a big difference between the adult competition and the youth competition. The skills required are high and the style of play is relatively “rough”. However, he firmly believes that if he plays well in the game, he will have a chance to win. The bronze medal in the Asian Championships has added to his confidence in the Asian Games: “In the past, my success in participating in the adult competition was not satisfactory. This bronze medal gave me a lot of confidence. I hope to maintain this state and strive for better results.”
