The charm of sports competition lies not only in winning or losing itself, but also in the reversal process of a desperate counterattack on the field. Gold medals are never the only pursuit, struggle is the true background of sports. In the first and second games of the badminton men’s team finals on October 1, the Chinese team fell behind 0 to 2.

With his strong late-range acceleration ability, Chen Jiapeng overturned his opponent in the last 30 meters and crossed the line first, and the Chinese team won the gold medal. After winning the championship, Chen Jiapeng returned to his hometown and hung the gold medal around the necks of his mother and grandma. The grandma smiled from ear to ear when taking a photo.
You bring glory to the motherland, and we are even more proud of you.

Rikako Chie won 6 gold medals at the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games, but unfortunately suffered from leukemia the following year. After experiencing a life-and-death struggle with illness, she returned to her favorite swimming pool like a warrior and fulfilled her agreement to “meet the Asian Games” with Zhang Yufei.
If there is a huge difference in strength, will you continue to fight? In the quarter-finals of the table tennis men’s team, the Iranian team defeated the Japanese team 3-0! In this game, every Iranian player who played had a world ranking Lower than Japanese players, but they still take it seriously, especially Hodae, who will encourage himself every time he hits a good shot. The first Asian Games medal is the best reward for their tenacious fighting spirit.
When other athletes have already crossed the finish line, will you continue to fight?
