However, the last time he set foot on the podium in an international individual competition was the 2018 Youth Olympic Games. As for the key to winning the gold medal, “She She” believes that it is to put on a good attitude and be willing to attack boldly: “In the finals, it is to see who makes fewer mistakes. Knowing that you have made mistakes, you tell yourself to fight with a sword. , to fight for it. To score points is not about your opponent rushing to stab you, but about your willingness to attack.” She didn’t think this was the long-awaited gold medal, but it was fate, so she tried to attack everything, “Because The coaches, family and friends all choose to believe in me, so I have to believe in myself and just fight every sword well.”

She revealed that after completing the World Cup in Dubai with the Hong Kong team in May, she immediately returned to Hong Kong to prepare for the Asian Championships and the World Championships. She received unprecedented intensive training. Last month, she set a new personal best in the top 16 of the World Championships individual competition, ” Finally went to the World Championships with great results, which proves that every drop of sweat is worth it.” This morning, she got up at 4 o’clock to prepare for the competition, and fought until 8 o’clock in the evening to complete the finals. She admitted that every second was a process of suffering. Although the team competition will be ushered in two days later, getting a perfect start will help her maintain her victorious mentality, “I have thought that it is a good start, but I still have to fight every sword well. The score will not come by itself. You have to fight for it, the team Of course, the team also has to fight for the medal.” She hopes that the meaning of this gold medal is not only for the individual or the fencing team, “but for all the sports-loving people in Hong Kong, and there will be more impetus.”
