Editor : Zhuang Yating
World champion Dai Ziying fought hard for the Tokyo Olympic gold medal in 3 games, and lost to the Chinese team player Chen Yufei 2:1 and missed the gold medal. However, she still won her first Olympic silver medal in her career, and also set the first silver medal in the history of Taiwan's Olympic badminton women's singles.
After the game tonight (1), Dai Ziying spoke for the first time at the press conference. Dai Ziying faced off against Chen Yufei, the first seed in the gold medal match, and finally lost in 18:21, 21:19, and 18:21. Dai is still unwilling to lose, which makes the Chinese people very distressed.
According to a report from "ETtoday", talking about the game process, Dai Ziying said that there were many mistakes at the beginning, which caused the score to fall behind. In the second half of the third game, she wanted to chase, but the previous mistakes were too many and she could not catch up. Although she fell to the ground annoyed by the loss at the last minute, Dai Ziying viewed it positively. She thought it was not easy to stand on the podium. She felt that she played well today and will continue to work hard in the future.
Dai Ziying and the Chinese team’s "single female sister" Chen Yufei played very stalemately. The two sides bite and saw each other. In the end, Xiao Dai finished with 18. Eventually with the results 18 to 21, 21 to 19 and 18 to 21, she finally won the silver medal, but it is still a new history of writing the first Olympic medal in the history of Taiwan badminton women's singles.

Palau President congratulates Taiwan, invites Guo Xingchun, Lin Yang Match, parents and coaches to visit Palau
Reporter : Liu Tingting/ Image : Web Screenshot
Congratulations to Taiwan for winning gold! The President of Palau invited Guo Xingchun, Lin Yang Match, parents and coaches to travel. On Taiwanese athletes who performed very well in the Tokyo Olympics, Palau President Surangel Whipps Jr (Hui Shuren) said that he would like to invite the goddess of weightlifting Guo Xingchun and the badminton player Wang Qilin who just won the gold medal to visit Palau with Li Yang, their family and coaches. In addition to inviting them to the Presidential Palace, the President of Palau even expressed that he would personally be a tour guide.
Palau President Hui Shuren said, "I would like to congratulate Guo Xingchun, her performance is really excellent, I would like to congratulate her for inviting her to Palau." Through TVBS lens, Palau President Hui Shuren wants to invite weightlifting goddess Guo Xingchun to travel to Palau to play. I want to invite Guo Xingchun, her parents and her coach. We will entertain them for free and celebrate her victory together. At the same time, she can inspire the young people in Palau. I would like to invite Wang Qilin and Li Yang, who have just picked gold, and their families and coaches to go with them. I will even act as a tour guide, inviting them to the Presidential Palace, and I will also take them on sightseeing."
The Palau President hopes to welcome the gold medal team before the end of August, and promise to personally sail them on a cruise to Rock Islands. For Palau, its zero covid-diagnosed vaccine coverage rate has reached 96% but the tourism bubble in Taiwan has not recovered.
Chen Shizhong has recently let go, and will use the original 5-day enhanced version and 9-day general version of independent health management standards. For discussion, it is expected that home quarantine will not be maintained.
Palau President Hui Shuren said, "I look forward to continuing our original standard, 5 plus 9 days of independent health management, because we hope that Taiwanese can come and enjoy Palau, but they can also return to normal life soon."
It sounds like there is a certain consensus. Palau has recently called out that Taiwanese can go to the local area to vaccinate Moderna or Janssen vaccine, but in mid-July, the government also signed an administrative order to allow people from mainland China, Hong Kong and Macau to go there.
Palau President Hui Shuren said, "If your government wants to start the tourism bubble, but has concerns about charter flights from Hong Kong and Macau, we will definitely stop these flights, because this is our commitment and we have relations with Taiwan."
The Palau President's commitment to prioritize Taiwan-Palau relations, and the restart of Taiwan-Palau tourism bubble is very positive!
