Cui Haoran, who won the silver medal, felt that he was in a good state today. He started to cramp when facing Chen Jianxiong in the quarterfinals. He fell behind by 5:10 at one point, but after being controlled, he managed to chase 5 points in a row and finally won by 15:13. The semi-finalists faced Ke Juner, fell behind most of the time and finally won 15:12. He believes that the key to these two victories is firm will. There are many things that he can’t do when he has cramps, but he believes that he has the ability to win so he persists. Cui Haoran also mentioned that he learned from Zhang Jialang and Cai Junyan to respond flexibly, pointing out that they will make changes when they realize that the situation is wrong, so he will not “head-to-head” with his opponent when he has cramps.

In the last Asian Games in Jakarta, he won the individual silver medal in men’s flowers. After he retired, he came back for more than two years and successfully qualified for the Asian Games. Cui Haoran believed that he should not put too much pressure on himself. I will fight with you on the court.” Five years later, the Asian Games will only participate in the team competition. He revealed that he will adjust his style of play and mentality with the coach, and he also pointed out that he needs to strengthen his physical fitness: “I realized that my physical recovery time is shorter than before. It’s longer, and that’s something you get used to as an athlete. At first I was unhappy about the longer recovery time, but now I’ve grown up and thought about what I can do to recover better.”
