After her 0-2 loss to He Bingjiao, which led to her elimination from the women’s singles quarterfinals at the 2024 Paris Olympics, Chen Yufei took to her personal Weibo account to express her thoughts.
“Thank you all for your concern. Actually, what I feel most is a sense of relief. The past three years have been filled with so much pressure and responsibility that I could hardly breathe. At this moment of ending, I suddenly feel like I can breathe easily. After the match, the coaches asked if there was anything they could do for me. I think I need a very long time to rest, to heal this worn-out body from the past three years, and to mend my soul, which has long lost its steadfastness. I haven’t figured out my future path yet, but I believe there will be a place where we will meet again. To my dear friends, don’t be too sad or worry about me. No matter where we are, we are together.”
