Among the silver medalists, Tsai Ing-wen specially introduced two young dark horses. Lin Yifan, who is only 14 years old, won the silver medal in the women's park style skateboarding. This is not only her first Asian Games medal, but also Taiwan's first medal in the Asian Games skateboarding event. Unexpectedly, a few hours later, 12-year-old Ku Yongyan withstood the pressure in the men's park style last chance, slipped to the best result of his career, came back and won the silver medal, and became the youngest Asian Games medalist in Taiwan's history.

Tsai Ing-wen said emotionally that some people have waited for many years to finally win the gold medal from the silver medal; some people have stood on the Asian Games podium for the first time at a young age. There is a different story behind each medal, and they are also the results accumulated step by step in Taiwanese sports. "The Asian Games are not over yet. There are still many Taiwanese athletes to play next. We will continue to cheer for them and cheer for them. Come on Taiwan!"

It is worth mentioning that in the last photo of Tsai Ing-wen’s post, she attached a special meme of Xiaoying’s “I’m really excited to death” specially drawn by the well-known illustrator Cherng. The funny contrast instantly made everyone laugh, and attracted a large number of netizens to leave messages and joke, “Xiaoying actually hid the picture at the bottom of the post. After that, from the first touching to the last "poof" laughter, hahaha", "When I click on the photos, I am moved one by one, and I can't hold back the smile in the last one.", "This is not a congratulatory message, it is an update notice for the medal progress bar of the Taiwan team, and the sentence "The Asian Games is not over yet" is the key point. ”.

Lin Yifan, who won the silver medal in skateboarding, also reported her thoughts to Tsai Ing-wen in the message area, revealing that she was photographed and cheered by Tsai Ing-wen when she failed at the Hangzhou Asian Games three years ago, which gave her the courage to stand up again and train hard for three years to return to the podium. She also took this opportunity to sincerely appeal that Taiwan currently lacks an international-standard bowl venue for players to train. She hopes that Taiwan will have an exclusive standard venue in the future, so that more young players can perform more handsome and cool extreme moves on their own land.
