🏌️♀️ From making history to inspiring the next generation, Feng Shanshan is all about smashing goals! In a recent chat with CGTN Sports Scene's Shen Xiang, China's golf icon reminisced about clinching the bronze medal at the Rio 2016 Olympics and shared her excitement for the upcoming talents heading to Paris.
\"It was such a unique experience because it was my first Olympic Games,\" Feng beamed, recalling her groundbreaking achievement as China's first golf Olympic medalist. \"I thought it might be my last as well, so I put a bit of pressure on myself. I set a goal and really wanted that medal. And guess what? I did it!\" 🎉
Finding out she ranked in the top three was surreal for Feng. \"I couldn't believe my ears,\" she laughed. \"My dad and my manager were over the moon—they almost cried! It was like a dream come true, something I'll cherish forever.\"
Looking ahead to Paris, Feng has high hopes for the dynamic duo representing China: Yin Ruoning and Lin Xiyu. \"Both of them are super competitive,\" she said confidently. \"They're highly ranked globally right now, so if they bring their ‘A’ games, I totally see them on the podium!\" 💪🏅
With the Olympic spirit igniting once again, Feng's journey from Rio serves as a beacon of inspiration. As new talents tee off on the world stage, one thing's for sure—the future of China's golf is looking bright! ⛳️✨
