Chen Peiying said in the program that the Hong Kong women’s ice hockey team lost 46:0 in a game. In fact, it happened only 6 years ago in 2017. At that time, they played once morest the Japanese team and were defeated by the opponent in an average of 45 seconds. Although she was “fired” by the opponent, she still felt that the match was a very good experience. “Against the Japanese team, how many chances do you have?” She also described the opponent as a very respectable opponent. She also recalled that when the Hong Kong team was in the game, they cried on the bench next to the field, but it was not sad, but everyone continued to encourage each other with tears.
Regarding the Hong Kong women’s ice hockey team’s group championship earlier, Guo Kaiqi said that this result has promoted the athletes. She believes that the hard work has “rewarded” and reflects the spirit of never giving up. Regarding the incident of the wrong broadcast of the national anthem at the World Championships earlier, more people in the society paid attention to ice hockey. Guo Kaiqi said that media exposure is a good thing for all athletes. “Every athlete has sacrificed, sweated, and cried, but Not all of them may have medals”, and they always need the support of the outside world.
This time the women’s ice hockey Hong Kong team won in Group 3A, but there are still opinions that if you look at the group, it is not an outstanding result. The team leader Kwan Wan-yee responded that no matter in any group, the Hong Kong team played once morest other national teams “all of them are national elites”, and thought that the comments should be fair. As for Chen Peiying, she said that there are more than 30 countries participating in the ice hockey championship, and it takes sacrifice to achieve results. She also believes that everything has to start, “you have to start somewhere”. As for Guo Kaiqi, she said, “We all know that we are not number one in the world, and our past performances also have a “black history”, but in the past ten years, I have seen a group of girls who have worked hard and made progress along the way. It’s very touching.”
