[Special Correspondent Wu Mengru/Reporting from Nagoya] "Before departure, I told my teammates to get their pants ready, we are here to award awards!" "Prince Pommel Horse" Li Zhikai made his final appearance in the men's team finals of the Asian Games in Nagoya today. He also withstood the pressure and performed perfectly to lead his juniors to break through and successfully completed the feat of winning medals for two consecutive years.
Looking back on the process of winning the medal, Li Zhikai admitted that it was not easy, especially in the qualifying round with South Korea and Kazakhstan having similar scores. On the first day, everyone did not perform at their best. As the big brother in the team, Li Zhikai said with a smile that he had fully utilized his value as a senior, "Before departure, I told everyone to have their pants ready. We are here to award awards. Fortunately, I did not become a burden to everyone. Together with Jiahong, I brought the entire team together."
What's special is that Li Zhikai's wife showed up at the Asian Games to cheer with her 4-year-old son and 1-and-a-half-year-old daughter. He laughed and said that when he was preparing on the sidelines, he could hear his children shouting "Dad" from a distance, and the whole audience could hear it. Although he wanted to say "Okay, okay" in his heart, the support from his family has indeed become his most powerful source of strength on the court. "I am really happy that they can come to the scene. Maybe through this game, they can understand the meaning of Dad every time he goes out to fight."
In the past, I fought alone in international competitions. This time, I could hear my children's voices on the sidelines, which gave Li Zhikai more motivation. "I used to focus more on my own performance. This time, I have my family on the sidelines. The attention is high, but it is not a pressure, but a source of strength to support me."
