　　Chinese hammer thrower Wang Zheng, who participated in the National Games for the fourth time, finally reached the highest podium.

But the thrill of winning the championship made her think about continuing her career, who originally regarded the Olympics and the National Games as the final battle of her career.

　　At the Tokyo Olympics, Wang Zheng won the runner-up of women's hammer throw, which continued the glory of Chinese women's hammer throw in the Olympics.

However, Wang Zheng, who was born in 1987, is already the oldest athlete of the Chinese track and field team to participate in the Tokyo Olympics. This time the National Games is a Shaanxi athlete fighting at home. Wang Zheng admitted that he is eager for this gold medal and naturally bears it. Not a small pressure.

　　Coming to the Xi'an Olympic Sports Center on the evening of the 20th, Wang Zheng communicated with the coach for a while before the game, then picked up his schoolbag and walked to the sidelines, using the schoolbag as a hammer to practice throwing.

Wang Zheng said after the game that in fact, all of her actions were to relieve tension.

　　However, the tension and anxiety continued until the last throw.

After five shots, Wang Zheng's best score was 74 meters 65, followed by Jiangxi player Li Jiangyan with 73 meters 92.

However, Wang Zheng had a foul in the last shot and had no results.

Li Jiangyan raised his score to 74m47, which means that Wang Zheng only won the gold medal with a slight lead.

　　"My heart is about to mention my throat." Wang Zheng, who came to the mixed interview area, was still nervous. She said that watching Li Jiangyan throw is even more nervous than her own.

"I haven't gotten over yet, my heart is still pounding."

　　After the game resumed, Wang Zheng felt that his state was late.

It may be due to the isolation after the Olympics, and the pre-match preparations for the National Games are not so sufficient.

"Winning the game is very difficult and dangerous. I really never thought it would be so difficult."

　　After calming down, Wang Zheng said that this game made her feel the pressure of junior players and also made herself think about whether to continue her career as an athlete.

"I hope I will have the opportunity to represent the national team in the future."

　　Wang Zheng's previous idea was to treat the Tokyo Olympics and the Shaanxi National Games as the two final battles of his career.

"Although the two matches are well-matched, they are still not perfect. I feel like I can do it again in many ways."

　　However, Wang Zheng said in the end that he will rest for a while after he continues to compete in the competition.

"No matter what happens in the future, I will continue to make the best contribution to the hammer kick. I still love my hammer kick." (End)
