  Chen Guanghua, who is in Beijing, ushered in his most exciting moment in 53 years a day ago.

  On the morning of July 28th, his daughter Chen Yunxia and teammates Zhang Ling, Lu Yang, and Cui Xiaotong won the women's rowing women's quadruple scull gold medal at the Tokyo Sea Forest Aquatic Arena.

  Due to his busy schedule, Chen Guanghua could not sit at home and watch the game.

  "I watched the game through my mobile phone." Chen Guanghua told reporters on the phone in the afternoon of the 29th.

  At the moment when he learned that his daughter won the prize, Chen Guanghua said, "I was so excited, I couldn't believe my eyes."

  Chen Yunxia, ​​25, was born in Naiman Banner, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia. When she was very young, she studied track and field in a sports school in her hometown.

  Due to her outstanding performance, Chen Yunxia was selected by Shanghai Qibao Middle School in 2009 and entered the Shanghai Rowing Team in 2011.

  The reporter learned from Naiman Banner, Tongliao City, Inner Mongolia, that in the past years, Chen Yunxia has won many honors in the rowing event.

  In August 2018, she won the women's single scull championship in the 2018 Jakarta Asian Games; in September 2019, she and Zhang Ling, Lu Yang, and Cui Xiaotong won the women's quadruple scull championship in the 2019 World Rowing Championships.

  Chen Yunxia’s mother, Cao Wenfang, told reporters: “After Yunxia won the award, the biggest change is that relatives, friends and media reporters in her hometown called to greet them and share the victory with us.”

  So far, Cao Wenfang is still immersed in the excitement of her daughter winning the championship. She laughed and said, "As the mother of the Olympic champion, I didn't dare to think about it, but now I am happy besides being happy."

  It is worth mentioning that in addition to the status of an athlete, Chen Yunxia is also a student of Shanghai Jiaotong University.

  Cao Wenfang told reporters, "Due to training reasons, my daughter rarely has time to go to class. After this competition, I hope to complete her studies better."

  "Except for staying with us for 10 days last year, I have not been with us for nearly a year," said Cao Wenfang. "I am used to my daughter training every day without interruption."

  Regarding Chen Yunxia and her teammates' own mentality after winning the gold medal in the women's quadruple sculls in rowing in Tokyo, Cao Wenfang said humorously, "Now she is truly the mother of the Olympic champion."

  On the afternoon of July 29, Chen Yunxia, ​​who was in Tokyo, said in a telephone interview with reporters, "The projects in Tokyo have all ended. After returning to China on August 1, preparations for the National Games will begin."

  Regarding the feeling of winning the gold medal in Tokyo this time, Chen Yunxia said: "The four of us were very confident and focused in the game. There was not much thinking about medals."

  "If the process is done, everything that should come is here." Chen Yunxia also told reporters humorously.
