(sabasports sport) In the women’s hammer throw final of the Asian Games, China’s Wang Zheng won the gold medal with the highest throw of 71.53 meters, and another Chinese athlete Zhao Jie won the silver medal with 69.44 meters.
Wang Zheng, who will be 36 years old, said in an interview with the media after the game: “At the beginning, because I may want this gold medal too much, the pressure is a little bit big, coupled with rainy skating, for this type of athlete like me, the impact is greater.” I added too many things to myself in front, and then I added ground sliding, and I had many ideas, and then I levelled my mind and felt that as long as I could turn down (before throwing out), I could have it.”
Talking about his emotional tears after the game, Wang Zheng said: “I don’t know why, just want to shed tears, or because of the dream.” After the Shaanxi National Games, because I was older, so I was ready to retire. But the thought of the Hangzhou Asian Games in our own home, I have never taken the championship, so I have been insisting until now, is to take a championship to fulfill the dream. I believe that every athlete must be thinking about winning the title when they stand on the court, so I also want to win the title.”
