In the qualifiers two days ago, Liu Shiying achieved a score of 63 meters 86 in the first shot and successfully passed the pass. She said that she felt good during the qualifying round, but after entering the final, when she was preparing for the activities, she told the coach that she was a little tired and that the physical distribution might not be well controlled.
"I'm very dissatisfied with my performance, but if I lose, I lose, I lose by one centimeter, and I have no excuses, so I can only go back and continue to work hard." She said.
In the final of the Tokyo Olympic Games, Liu Shiying won the championship with the first shot of 66 meters 34, which was the first time that a Chinese athlete won a gold medal in the javelin event at the Olympic Games. She said that because of the overdraft of physical strength in preparation for the Olympic Games, although the amount of training has been reduced and the coach has helped adjust, it has not recovered in the past year.
