Earlier, Zheng Qinwen said in an interview: "I am very proud to win the gold medal, but it is time to forget it and start again. If I am too obsessed with past results, I will not be able to play well in the next game. I hope I can do better in the next stop!"

On August 3, at the women's singles gold medal match at the Paris Olympics, 21-year-old Chinese player Zheng Qinwen defeated her opponent 2-0 to win the championship, winning China's first women's singles gold medal in the Olympics.

Talking about winning the gold medal, Zheng Qinwen said: "Since I was a child, I have wanted to win a medal for my country very much. Maybe not a gold medal, as long as it is a medal.
