The Paris Olympic National Team delegation attended the Olympic Athletes Gala at the Queen Elizabeth Stadium on the second day of their trip in Hong Kong, and met with the public up close. A group of Olympic athletes entered the stadium amid the cheers of the audience. The athletes took turns to “show their skills” and show their other side outside the stadium. Among them, Fan Zhendong, the gold medalist in men’s singles table tennis at the Paris Olympics, was the first to greet the audience in Cantonese. Fan Zhendong, the gold medalist in men’s singles table tennis at the Paris Olympics, said: “Hello, everyone, I am Fan Zhendong.” The six national team table tennis gold medalists who “took the lead” staged a “three-on-three” men’s group vs. women’s group battle. The gold medalists of the diving team took turns to greet the audience in Cantonese. Chang Yani, the champion of the women’s synchronized 3-meter springboard at the Paris Olympics, said: “I wish you all good health.” Lian Junjie, the champion of the men’s synchronized 10-meter diving platform at the Paris Olympics, said: “Hello, everyone, I am Lian Junjie. Just now she said that she wished everyone good health. Thank you.” The words “Congratulations on getting rich” made the audience cheer. Paris Olympic women’s single 10-meter diving champion Quan Hongchan said: “Hello everyone, I am Quan Hongchan, I wish you all good luck and prosperity.” She likes dolls, and she got something tonight. Paris Olympic men’s double 3-meter springboard champion Long Daoyi performed rap: “It belongs to us, raise the wine and bowls higher, let’s pour a glass of Tequila, It’s not a dream, WAKE UP, WAKE UP.” Looking at the audience’s reaction, you can see how good his rap skills are. Five rhythmic gymnastics gold medalists performed classical dance, and two badminton gold medal pairs also thanked their partners for their support. Paris Olympic badminton women’s doubles champion Jia Yifan said: “I am very grateful to my partner for 10 years of dedication.” Paris Olympic badminton women’s doubles champion Chen Qingchen said: “It’s great to have her.” Paris Olympic badminton mixed doubles champion Zheng Siwei said: “Everyone please cherish the people who fight with you and accompany you.” Paris Olympic badminton mixed doubles champion Huang Yaqiong said: “It’s great to have you.” The four performed an alternative badminton battle around the court, and they all received the ball in a similar way. Many birthday celebrants from the national swimming team who were born in August received blessings from the audience. Pan Zhanle, the champion of the men’s 100-meter freestyle at the Paris Olympics, said: “First, I hope that our country will be more prosperous. Second, I hope that the national flag will be raised and the national anthem will be played in more countries and at more competitions.” The two gymnastics champions Liu Yang and Zou Jingyuan opened their mouths and showed off their singing skills, and the audience also showed their support. The eight golden flowers of rhythmic swimming switched from water to land performances. Liu Qingyi, the bronze medalist in women’s individual breakdance, conquered the audience with her clean and neat dance moves. At the end, the whole audience sang together, and more than 60 athletes “checked in” with singer Miriam Yeung. After the performance, which lasted more than an hour, the national team athletes boarded the tour bus and left, and a large number of “fans” were waiting, still wanting more. Ms. Zi said: “It was especially great to see Ma Long. Normally he doesn’t smile and is very serious, but today he was laughing.” Ms. Chen said: “I like the swimming team and the diving team because I always watch their competitions.” The athletes returned to their hotel at around 10 o’clock, and there were a large number of supporters waiting outside.
