This "treasure" girl would carefully select beautiful hairpins for herself before the game to bring good luck; after making a good shot, she would proudly ask her coach for Peking duck. After constant baptism in world competitions, Feng Bin has developed a "big heart" and sees the Paris Olympics as the best opportunity to hit the Grand Slam in her career.

"I have been working hard to improve my technical level and psychological quality. The Olympics is the ultimate dream of every athlete. I will go all out to win glory for my country." Her firm eyes and calm tone all demonstrate the confidence and responsibility of a mature athlete.
