CCTV News:In the Olympic Games, generation after generation of Chinese athletes have reached peaks with passion and sweat. Among them, there are the confident "youth power" of young athletes in the arena, and there are also the strength of veterans who stick to their responsibilities. There are those who win the championship and win glory for the country, those who fight hard and are full of vigor, those who break through and create new frontiers, and those who are graceful and elegant beyond winning or losing. The charm of sports lies in this.
The 18-year-old young athlete exudes youthfulness at the Olympics
In the men's trampoline final, Chinese athlete Wang Zisai, who just turned 18 in June 2024, performed well and finally won the silver medal with 61.890 points.
Wang Zisai, a member of the Chinese trampoline team, said that he did not expect this result. When he left the stage, he could not control himself and cried with excitement.
This was Wang Zisai's first time to participate in the Olympics. In the first page of his life, at the age of 18, he owned a shining Olympic silver medal.
Another 18-year-old athlete who remained calm in the competition was Zhou Yaqin, who won the silver medal in the women's balance beam competition with a score of 14.100.
Before the competition, Zhou Yaqin said that she was 80% sure to stand on the podium. In the end, she realized her wish. After the competition, Zhou Yaqin told the public that winning the silver medal in her first Olympic Games was the highest point in her life. She hoped to have a better performance in the Los Angeles Olympic Games. We hope that her wish will come true four years later.
Another athlete who gained something was 18-year-old Liu Qingyi, who won the women's bronze medal in the newly added breakdancing event of this Olympics.
Liu Qingyi said that she will continue to work hard, and there is still a long way to go. She is still young and hopes that she can continue to fight for her dream. She thanked the team for giving her the opportunity to participate in the Olympics. She is very happy to participate in the Olympics and is very proud to win the medal.
After the competition, Liu Qingyi said at the press conference that the years of preparation for the Olympics have brought her more than just results. She has frequently participated in overseas training and competitions over the past few years, which has exposed her to the atmosphere and culture of breakdance and street dance around the world. This has further strengthened Liu Qingyi's determination of what she wants to do and what she wants to do next. This Olympics is a stepping stone for her growth.
Just graduated from elementary school and it's better than the Olympics!
In addition to several 18-year-olds, Zheng Haohao, the youngest player of the Chinese sports delegation in Paris and the youngest player in the entire Paris Olympics, is also happy to be able to participate in the Olympics. Although she missed the final of the women's bowl pool skateboarding event with the 18th place in the preliminaries, Zheng Haohao confidently said that enjoying the Olympics is the first priority.
Zheng Haohao said that she felt very confident and fulfilled when so many people cheered for her in the stands. She just needed to do her best and had no regrets. She was very happy to be here. She would work harder in the future and speak with her strength.
August 11 is Zheng Haohao's 12th birthday. I wish this young Chinese athlete a happy birthday. I also pay tribute to all the Chinese athletes who have demonstrated the power of Chinese youth and the charm of sports in Paris. It is they who let the five-star red flag fly high in France and let the March of the Volunteers resound in Paris.
