Team Sichuan on average aged 20 created history at the 13th National Games in Tianjin. They won the women's team champion under the leadership of 22-year-old Zhu Yuling. The following translated interview walks us through the inside stories of the champion-winning team.

Winning a team champion is not just about the overall strength but being united and having a good mentality entering the match. The Sichuan women's team did it. As we find that not only does every team member did their part, they remind each other, support each other and walked away with the women's team title.
