SCMP Reporter

Zhang Yining

Age: 22

Height: 168cm

Weight: 54kg

Event: Women's Singles

Zhang Yining dropped her paddle to the floor and raised her arms in the air, having just won China's 100th-ever gold medal. 'I feel really excited to have won. I was confident of winning. When I shook hands with my opponent before the match, her hand felt really cold. She must have been really nervous. I was relaxed and calm. I was so happy to get the gold medal for my country. I didn't know it was China's 100th gold medal at an Olympics [summer Games] so it's an even greater honour. I lost to my opponent before in a tournament in Fushan, but I didn't let that play with my mind. I was out to win.'
