Athletes of Chinese mainland attended a gala on Sunday night during their three-day visit to south China's Macao Special Administrative Region.
With the theme "Our pride," the gala was made up of three parts: "Surpass your dream," "Break the limit" and "Build your future dream." Olympians not only participated in performances on the stage, but also shared their experience and stories of making the country proud.
"I wasn't fighting alone because our great country had my back," 2024 Paris Olympic Games gold medalist swimmer Pan Zhanle said. "My gold medal is a gift to our country."
"We finished the final with a draw in regular time," said Chinese women's hockey player Li Hong. "Though we lost in the penalty shootout, we received applause from the opponents' supporters when we traveled around the stadium wearing the Chinese national flags. That's when I realized that we had gained respect after displaying the spirit of Chinese athletes."
"I think the mixed doubles event requires good coordination and communication," champion paddler Sun Yingsha said. "We needed to adapt ourselves quickly to the changes in every game. I was happy that me and Wang Chuqin could win the event in Paris. I want to thank you for your support."
"Eating good food in Macao helped a lot to release my pressure," Chinese table tennis team captain Ma Long said. He recommended pineapple buns to visitors.
There were a series of interesting programs at the gala. For example, one was to have paddlers and shuttlers using the others' gear to compete in a contest of hitting cups on the table. Table tennis players also played a match on a randomly moving table.
