[Special Correspondent Wu Mengru/Nagoya Report] Taiwanese archery expert Zhang Zhengwei, who has never competed in individual medals in international competitions in the past, entered the gold medal match in the men's compound arch of the Asian Games in Nagoya today. He laughed and said that his hands were shaking with excitement. He was constantly reminded by coach Lin Zhewei to calm down, and finally won a silver medal. He said: "I just wanted to kill him, but I think I should have misplaced my focus."

Zhang Zhengwei started from the top 8 in the individual competition today and successfully advanced to the gold medal match by defeating China's Liu Jinyi and Vietnam's Deng Gongde. During the competition, he was all smiles, but said, "Because I have never competed in an individual medal match at an international competition before, I was really excited. The nervousness and trembling when I stood on the stage were unprecedented." He also joked that maybe laughing throughout the whole game could make everyone think he was playing, "It's a psychological tactic of mine!"

Facing his South Korean opponent Kim Jong-ho, who had only one arrow out of 15 shots that was 9 points off, Zhang Zhengwei said that he actually had the ability to shoot perfect marks and was not timid. He just wanted to outperform his South Korean opponent, but he misplaced his focus and was too excited to play. The coach behind him, Lin Zhewei, kept reminding him to calm down. "It's really thanks to his nagging."

Zhang Zhengwei, who dyed his blond hair one month before the competition, was aiming to win the gold medal at the Asian Games. Although he failed to achieve his pre-competition goal, he successfully made up for the regret of not being in the top 8 last time in the individual competition and won the silver medal in one fell swoop. In addition, he won the first bronze medal for the compound arch men's team. He said: "It should be that I don't get too full at one time and take it step by step so that I won't fall down."
