Winning the championship seems to be unexpected by Yao Hao, but it is also expected.

"I started cycling when I was 16 years old." Yao Hao said that he studied at Zunyi Sports School and began his cycling path at the age of 16 with the support of his family. At that time, he did not know what this meant, nor did he know what kind of impact such a choice would have on his future life, and he began to move towards the goal of becoming a qualified professional cycling driver with only a passion.

After the goal was set, Yao Hao insisted on day-to-day riding training with his youth and energy, but for him, who was only a teenager at the time, day-to-day training was boring and tedious. Sometimes watching his friends around him call on friends, his heart will also bubble up with playful thoughts, and even shake, want to give up training, and become an "ordinary child" like his friends. However, thinking of the support and cultivation of his family, as well as his original intention of choosing this industry, he told himself over and over again that it would be good to insist on it. In this way, Yao Hao persisted for 7 years and persisted until now.

"It's not my first time racing, but it's the first time I've been to Rodin. I have been to places like Lhasa and Hunan before, and although sometimes my grades are not ideal, I have learned a lot every time. In order to achieve the goal of becoming a qualified professional cycling racer, over the years, Yao Hao has participated in nearly 100 large and small races, shed countless sweats, and the results have improved little by little.

"The weather in Luodian is nice, not cold, just right for sports." When talking about his first impression of Luodian, Yao Hao told reporters that this trip to Luodian impressed him, and the competition with 257 riders was full of speed and passion, and also opened a new milestone in his riding career.

"I always believe that 'riding the wind and waves will sometimes', and in the future, I will continue to work hard to achieve my goals and dreams." At the age of 22, just in the good youth, it is a good time to ride the wind and waves, and the future of The Sunshine Boy Yao Hao is full of infinite possibilities.

But whenever I am on the field, I feel that all the hard work is worth it. "Since it's a game, it's inevitable that there will be injuries in the process.
