Zheng Siwei Reveals the Secret Behind Olympic Gold: Support from a Psychologist, Both Players in Peak Condition
At the 2024 Paris Olympics, China’s mixed doubles pair, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong, secured the gold medal by defeating the Korean duo, Kim Won-ho and Jeong Na-eun, with a 2-0 victory. With this win, Zheng Siwei and Huang Yaqiong have now achieved a career Grand Slam.
During the flight back home, Zheng Siwei penned a heartfelt essay of nearly 2,000 words, expressing gratitude to everyone who supported them along the way. His partner, Huang Yaqiong, praised him for his thoughtful gesture.
Zheng Siwei commented, “I believe that both of us were in our best condition during the match. Before the game, our psychologist told us that the best state on the court is a balanced one—not too intense, nor too calm. The middle range is the optimal zone, and I believe we both were in that ideal state during this match.”
