On the morning of September 14, at the award ceremony of the 14th National Games Venue Cycling Madison Race, Yang Yang from Huaichuan County, Nanyang City, once again took the podium and won a valuable bronze medal for the Henan delegation. This is also another medal won by Yang Yang after winning the second gold of the National Games and the first gold of the Nanyang athletes for the Henan delegation on the 11th.

After a day of rest, on the afternoon of the 13th, the final of the 14th National Games Track Cycling Madison Race was held in Luoyang, and Yang Yang once again stood on the more intense men's Madison race.

This places greater technical and physical demands on individuals. In order to accumulate physical strength, several teams even gave up some of their previous events. In the last 15 laps of the schedule, Yang Yang was still very low, at this time Yang Yang accelerated through the inertia of the ramp, scored first and then looped, scored 25 points in a short period of time, and raised the ranking to the third place.
After the competition, Yang Yang and the enlightenment coaches Yang Zhenju, Yao Tianyun and Li Li said, "This is an event at my doorstep, and it is also the first National Games in my life. Standing in the highest standard field in China, I must show the momentum and spirit of Nanyang athletes and win glory for my hometown. ”
Yang Yang, who is only 21 years old, entered nanyang sports school in 2016 and entered the Henan Provincial Cycling Team at the end of 2017, and is now the main member of the Henan Provincial Cycling Team. In just three years, it is not easy to achieve such peak results. At this point, Yang Yang ended all the events of this National Games.
