When asked by reporters what she felt like when she was playing with these famous players, she said, "I feel very excited and honored."
So how does it feel to beat a famous player like Byers? "In fact, it can't be said that it is a victory over them. The most important thing for us is to overcome ourselves, compare ourselves, do our own actions well, and play our best level. Guan Chenchen told reporters that the athletes in the arena will cheer each other on, "We also interact with Byers in the arena, they all encourage each other."

This year has been very hard for the national team athletes, who went to the National Games immediately after the Tokyo Olympics. "After coming back from the Olympics, I was quarantined for 21 days, so the training was very unsystematic, and it felt like I was in a bit of a hurry to start the National Games right away, and the pace was particularly tight." Guan Chenchen said that there will be no big competition tasks at the end of the year, and it is necessary to recover from injuries and then devote themselves to training again.

After becoming an Olympic champion, Guan Chenchen's words and deeds have attracted much attention. Therefore, Guan Chenchen also admitted that his next adjustment will be all-round: "I don't always think that I am an Olympic champion, what I want to say is that in fact, I am just a 17-year-old gymnast, and I still have to do my best at all times." ”

Guan Chenchen told reporters that this time there are 10 days of vacation. "As an athlete, there are very few holidays that can be rested every year. I have the impression that the last time I took a long vacation of about 10 days was four or five years ago. Guan Chenchen said. The reporter asked her what she most wanted to do during the holidays? She also gave a playful answer: "I most want to go to amusement parks, Happy Valley, secret rooms, 'haunted houses' and other places to play." ”
Guan Chenchen liked all kinds of cups, and her alma mater gave her a water cup, the color of which was her favorite purple. Reporter Hu Longzhao photographed
Was it completely "released" during the holidays? Guan Chenchen said no. "Gymnasts who don't practice for 10 days will have a lot of changes in their physical sensations. Therefore, even if the technical movements cannot be practiced, the physical fitness must still be maintained. She told reporters that she usually participates in running at home, doing some running and jumping movements and small strength training of the abdominal back muscles, "generally using about one or two hours of practice every day."
