Youth Olympic Games" "When you want to stop, just keep going" Yang Qiaohui finished 11th in the free bike time trial

[Reporter Lu Yangxuan/Comprehensive Report] At the 4th Dhaka Youth Olympic Games in 2026, on the 10th Dhaka time, Taiwanese freestyle cyclist Yang Qiaohui ranked 11th in the women's individual time trial with a time of 12 minutes, 28 seconds and 36 seconds. Fencing Lin Yujie stopped in the top 8 in the women's sharp sword individual competition.

Yang Qiaohui participated in the women's individual road race and individual time trial in this Youth Olympic Games. The road race on the 8th ended in 18th place. Then she went to the time trial on the 10th. Yang Qiaohui, who started in fourth place, finished the race in 12 minutes, 28 seconds and 36 seconds, ranking 11th.

Coach Li Gao'an said that Yang Qiaohui's results were within the expected range and she achieved the set goal. "The time trial is her best event. I hope she will go all out. The competition route is not difficult, but there are some speed bumps. The road conditions next to it are more dangerous and there is more fine sand. In fact, there is no big problem in the straight line."

Li Gaoan said that Yang Qiaohui will have a better grasp of the game after experiencing the Youth Olympics level competition, and he hopes to make further progress in future competitions.

Yang Qiaohui said frankly that her performance was within expectations and she naturally hopes to stand on the podium. "There are not many opportunities to compete. Make good use of every opportunity. Remember every mistake and lesson. Don't stop practicing. Every time you are tired and panting and want to stop, just try to hold on."

Lin Yujie defeated Ivory Coast Marie Kouassi 15:6 in the top 16 of the women's sharp sword individual fencing competition on the 10th to advance to the top 8. Then she faced Hungarian player Horvath Lotti, who defended her title at the World Youth Fencing Championships this year, and lost 9:15.

Coach Li Junzheng said that due to player Beinan's injury and retirement, the results of the match were affected. Lin Yujie did not achieve a more favorable ranking and met Lotti in the top 8 ahead of schedule. "She is the most difficult player to deal with in the top 8."

Originally, Lin Yujie had 4 wins and 2 losses in the group stage, but after the players in the same group retired due to injuries, it became 3 wins and 2 losses, ranking 6th. She could have been promoted with a slightly higher ranking. "Actually, her condition is not too bad. She did not play well in 2 games in the group stage. Facing the World Youth Champion, she worked hard in the process, but she did not do a good job in technical and tactical performance."

Lin Yujie said: "The opponent (Lotti) is very tall and experienced. He did not do well in the group stage. He met high-ranking players early, but he is also very happy to be here and play against many high-ranking players."
