Hangzhou Asian Games | Breaking the Games Record, Zhang Yufei Says That's Not What She Wants

2023-09-28

I don't feel good, this is not the record I want, "Zhang Yufei said with a smile in the mixed mining area after winning the women's 100m butterfly gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games. On the morning of the 27th, in the women's 100m butterfly preliminaries, Zhang Yufei broke the race record with a time of 56.20 seconds and easily advanced to the final that night. In the final, Zhang Yufei took the lead all the way and easily won with a time of 55.86 seconds, setting a new record for the competition she had just set. However, in the eyes of this world championship champion, such a result is not satisfactory for her. The world record of 55.48 seconds set by Swedish star Shesteren at the Rio Olympics is there, which is what she wants. On September 27th, Zhang Yufei was in the competition. Xinhua News Agency reporter Huang Zongzhi said, 'Even if we can't exceed it, we also want to get close,' "Zhang Yufei said. In just a few months, from 56.12 seconds at the Fukuoka World Championships to 56.57 seconds at the Chengdu Universiade, and then to 55.86 seconds at the Hangzhou Asian Games, Zhang Yufei won the gold medal in the women's 100m butterfly in these three events. However, for Zhang Yufei, her goal remains consistent because the world record is still there. I think if my goals change, I may not have the motivation and the idea to persist until Paris (the Olympics), or even after Paris, "said Zhang Yufei, whose goals will never change. Zhang Yufei's championship performance at the Hangzhou Asian Games was faster than when she won the gold medal at the Fukuoka World Championships. In her opinion, all of this is a natural thing. On September 27th, champion Chinese athlete Zhang Yufei signed her name on her swimming cap. According to Xinhua News Agency reporter Huang Zongzhi, "The World Championships themselves were contested even though I didn't have enough training, so I think the Asian Games actually laid a solid foundation for me compared to my previous training." Zhang Yufei said, "Coupled with the fact that fighting at home and the favorable weather, location, and people are harmonious, this is the key to continuously improving her performance. On the day of Zhang Yufei's competition, the large screen on site will be timely displayed to her mother in the audience. Mention the feeling of having family members assist on site, Zhang Yufei said, "She actually saw it before (on site), but it's my first time watching it on site. Especially after swimming the 200 meter butterfly, my grandmother seemed to cry excitedly. It's a pity that I didn't let her watch my game on site for so many years. This time it fulfilled her dream." "However, I also feel that I don't want the elderly to be stimulated by this kind of competition," Zhang Yufei continued.
