The head coach He Yiming summarized the All England and last week’s German Open Said that he was satisfied with the trip to Europe, and mentioned that under the former Indonesian mixed doubles coach Lin Peilei “joined” the coaching staff of the Hong Kong team, he hoped to bring a new situation to the Hong Kong doubles team, strive for better results and compete for the Paris Olympic qualification.

The doubles coach of the Hong Kong team, Chen Kang, left after the Tokyo Olympics. In March this year, the former Indonesian mixed doubles coach Lin Peilei joined the coaching staff as the doubles coach. The team brought a new impact: “The new coach has rich experience.

I hope that everyone can cooperate to achieve good results according to the plan.”
In women’s doubles, Ho Sir thinks that the Hong Kong team is relatively weak in terms of player strength, but Yang Yating and Yang Peilin can also use tactics to win against the South Korean team. He hopes that the two can improve their competitiveness and compete with opponents ranked 10 to 20 in the world. , Strive for the top 13, and move towards the goal of impacting Olympic qualifications. When it comes to women’s singles, Sir Ho admitted that the international competition is fierce, and it is difficult to compete without speed and strength. However, he believes that the Hong Kong team has many potential players such as Ma Zixue, Lu Shanyan and Liang Jiaying. He hopes that the players can set goals and reach a higher level.
