CM: "There were no losers in this match. We took home Gold and Silver for China once again.
I'm really surprised, it feels like I've done the impossible. I felt like the underdog before the match, and did think I could win. For the past two years, I've lost to ShaSha many times, and her playstyle is becoming more modern, her mentality more mature by the day.
I only thought about playing point by point at the table, because there's no guarantee that there will be another Olympics for me."
"What did you say to ShaSha when you hugged her?" The reporter posed the same question to both players.
CM: "I told her that she must keep fighting. Four years may be a long time for us athletes, but as long as we don't give up, anything is possible. I believe that prime ShaSha will be even stronger in the future."
SYS: We both performed well, but Meng Jie was the more resolute player. She was never shaken. I became a little nervous and anxious after the fifth set, and failed to persevere until the end.
At the mixed reporting zone, a reporter asked Sun Yingsha what Chen Meng said to her while they embraced.
"She told me to work hard and try again. I think the heavens are fair, they don't want me to think that I've already made it, but to settle down and continue to grow."
"Don't many champions strive for decades before reaching their goal anyway?"
