He also witnessed Zheng Siwei play "Free Heart" in the stadium with "Free Heart" after winning the match point, throwing the jersey to the spectators on the sidelines, causing the audience to cheer.
Many people didn't realize until the end of the award ceremony that they saw Zheng Siwei teasing this little baby - this is Zheng Siwei's baby son.
The son came to the scene to watch the battle, and in addition to winning the championship, Zheng Siwei only had the simplest idea - to set an example for his son.
"I have to do it to show the baby how daddy faces difficulties on the field."
Zheng Siwei undressed to celebrate after the game.
This is the best way to teach by example
In this match, the IELTS combination did not encounter much challenge, even if the second game was glued for a while, they still quickly knocked their opponents into the trough.
Zheng Siwei attributed winning the mixed doubles gold medal at the Hangzhou Asian Games to his family – "My family gave me more strength and motivation, and it also brought me a lot of good luck. ”

The help of his wife and children made Zheng Siwei's performance eye-catching enough, and after winning the championship, he was also looking for his family in the stands. In his opinion, his final can be regarded as a model for his son - now that he is a father, Zheng Siwei cares more about how to teach by example.
"I also give myself a lot of psychological cues when I'm in a difficult situation – I have to do it to show the baby how daddy faces difficulties on the field, especially in a stressful situation. I hope that when he grows up, this memory will leave him with a lasting picture. ”
Indeed, in the second game, Watanabe Yuda and Higashino Yusa increased their offensive and defensive speed, and the scene was very glued for a while, and Huang Yaqiong also laughed after the game: "Today I feel that my mind has been taking me away, today is a little pressure, but he has always encouraged me on the court, so I played very firmly." ”
Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong also have a dream of an Olympic gold medal.
Paris is too far away, do well for the moment
Winning the mixed doubles gold medal in the Asian Games, which is regarded as the middle school entrance examination, also made the outside world have more expectations for the IELTS team's trip to the Paris Olympics.
When it comes to next year's Paris Olympics, the IELTS combination emphasizes the need to do a good job in the present.
"We also hope to achieve our dream of Paris next year, but we still have a lot of competitions, and we have to play the next games well and qualify for the Olympics."
Huang Yaqiong admitted that before the Asian Games, the form and results were not as good as expected, "We also lost to South Korean and Japanese athletes, but these losses gave us more motivation to face the problem and then solve it seriously." ”
Zheng Siwei also believes that the current competition is too fierce, the level is within millimeters, and the "IELTS combination" has not reached the level of strength crushing.
"I think the opponents in Asia are very close, very, very close, and a little detail on the pitch can change the whole situation."
Therefore, in Zheng Siwei's view, don't think about next year's Olympic Games, "first do a good job in the present, do a good job of daily training, see what else we need to summarize this time, and bring the confidence gained this time to the next competition." ”
