SILVER: Ziyue Gao (CHN) – 3×3 basketball women’s final
“We felt the friendship from the German people.”
On claiming the silver medal after losing 21-15 to Germany in the final:
“We tried our best. We didn’t play perfectly, but we had the opportunity and the ability to win a medal.
On what prevented them from winning:
“I think mistakes are normal during the game. What we have to think about is how to fix them and lead the game in the right way. Medals are very important to us, so we were too nervous during the game and couldn’t play our best. That might be the main reason we didn’t win.
On having 3×3 in the FISU Games:
“I think FISU organised a very perfect event. Between competitions, we had a place to rest, and we also felt the friendship from the German people.”
