After the race, Chen Shichang, who participated in the World Championships for the first time, was very satisfied with his performance: "I was in good shape today, and it was also my personal best. Later, because the temperature dropped too quickly, the muscles were a little stiff. I'm happy to have reached the Olympics. ”

She smiled and sighed: "In 2016, you could win the gold medal by throwing 25.03 meters, but now it is simply impossible." If the opponent is strong, I will naturally be strong, and if the opponent is growing, we must too. ”
