The Swimming Harbor Team triumphed this afternoon (30/9). Among them, He Shibei, who won 6 medals for the swimming team, was in a hurry and left the airport without being interviewed. The other two medalists, Ou Kaichun and He Zhentao, stayed to take photos with fans. And revealed his personal trends after the Asian Games. Among them, Chun Chun made it clear before going to Hangzhou that the Hangzhou Asian Games would be the last time she would participate. She reiterated this afternoon: “The 2026 Nagoya Asian Games is really too far away for me. However, I will continue to work hard in the women’s 100 back. I hope I hope I can hit the 99 mark in 59 seconds and strive to debut in Bao.”

The swimming team has seen many young players emerging in recent years. Seeing this, Chun Chun also hopes that the new generation can take over well: “Many of the new generation have great potential. For example, Mai Shiting won the men’s 200 frog world youth championship, and Zhang Xinyue was only 2 years old. At the age of 16, he has already reached the Women’s 200 and Bao A standard. These achievements were not achieved by our generation back then. They must surpass our seniors in the future, and the future belongs to them.”

Zhang Xinyue, who has high hopes from her senior sister, believes that the Asian Games are larger than the swimming competitions she has participated in in the past, and this trip to Hangzhou will lay a solid foundation for her move to Bao next year. In the coming year, she will continue to work hard and pursue breakthroughs according to the instructions of the coaching team. Xiao Nizi also revealed that after returning to Hong Kong to rest for a few days, she will leave for Europe to participate in three swimming World Cup events in Berlin, Athens and Budapest.
