Deng Junwen reflected on their strategy, saying, “(Today) we tried to tell ourselves that we must increase the speed at the beginning, don’t care how hard it is, and make ourselves more excited.” Xie Yingsuet added, “(At the scene) It seems that there are more and more spectators, as if all the citizens are playing with us. It’s very exciting.”
