Wang Guanhong won the gold medal at the Nagoya Asian Games. Coach Huang Zhiyong hopes to improve the swimming environment in Taiwan.

"Taiwan's Butterfly King" Wang Guanhong won the gold medal in the men's 200-meter butterfly at the Nagoya Asian Games today. Coach Huang Zhiyong praised his disciple's performance. He also hopes that this gold medal will not only be his personal achievement, but also promote the overall swimming environment in Taiwan.

Although Wang Guanhong was reported to have suffered a waist injury before the game, fortunately, it did not affect his performance after treatment. He still won Taiwan's first Asian Games gold medal in the history of men's swimming. He is also the first Taiwanese swimmer to win a gold medal in the Asian Games since his daughter, Cai Shumin, won the Asian Games in Bangkok in 1998. This gold has been waiting for 28 years.

Huang Zhiyong said that Wang Guanhong's waist discomfort before the game really made everyone nervous. "I encourage him not to take the ranking so seriously, otherwise he will be concerned about gains and losses. I hope he will try his best to break through himself."

Talking about the significance of this gold medal, Huang Zhiyong said that Wang Guanhong's achievements have surpassed his achievements back then. This is not only a personal breakthrough, but also an important milestone for Taiwan's swimming community when facing world powers such as China, Japan and South Korea.

Huang Zhiyong believes that the value of this gold medal lies not only in personal achievements, but also hopes that it can lead to a more sophisticated swimming environment in Taiwan, more exchanges with the world, and the overall development of swimming.

Looking forward to the future and the Los Angeles Olympics two years later, Huang Zhiyong said that if he wants to stand on the Olympic podium, Wang Guanhong's time in the 200 butterfly must reach at least 1 minute and 53 seconds. There is still a way to go. He stopped competing at the last Paris Olympics. At this stage, he will make it to the Olympic finals as his main goal, looking forward to achieving great results again.
