Advantageous projects look forward to continued glory
Since 1982, the Chinese delegation has continuously dominated the gold medal list of the Asian Games. In this Asian Games, the weightlifting team, table tennis team, diving team, shooting team, etc. will continue to defend the glory of the “Gold Medalist”.
The Chinese weightlifting team is currently in summer training in Beijing.

No matter which event, we will do our best to win. Especially to get good grades at home.”
Despite its superior strength, the Chinese weightlifting team never underestimates the enemy. Wang Xin said that some of the opponents in the Asian Games will also be Olympic opponents, such as Li Fabin’s rival of the same level and Indonesian veteran Irawan. “Our usual training must be once morest the highest standards, and we win in success rate, strength and mentality.”

The Chinese shooting team won 8 gold medals in 20 events in the last Asian Games. Although the rules have been revised repeatedly in recent years, and many countries and regions in Asia have masters, especially India’s shooting has made great progress, the Chinese team has a solid overall foundation and is still the most competitive.
In terms of traditional sports, Chinese swimming has made remarkable progress in recent years, but the Asian Games will still be a tough battle. Zhang Yufei, the “double champion” of the Tokyo Olympics, is expected to participate in 7 events. In addition to striving to win, she also hopes to break the world record in the women’s 100-meter butterfly; veteran Wang Shun will usher in his fourth Asian Games.
