I have been practicing for more than a year now.” He continued pointing to the confrontation I am happy with the record, but I think there is room for improvement in my performance: “I set my goal of 60 meters, and I can perform better today. In the past few months, I stopped practicing badminton to prepare for the competition. The training was very hard, so I am very happy to break the record.” Huang Yiqian pointed out that he will continue to develop in two lines in the future, and hopes that he will be promoted to A Grade next year to break the javelin record held by Lin Mingyao, a male senior and former Hong Kong team representative.
