Zhang Yufei: To be seen as an inspiration is an honor

Chinese swimmer Zhang Yufei, a gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics, joins Generation Z’s Words to share her story about swimming to encourage young people to pursue their goals.

In this episode, Zhang Yufei, who won three bronzes at the 19th FINA World Championships Budapest 2022, talks about her experience. Regardless of how she places, she thinks the color of the medal is less important. Instead every competition is a chance to better herself, "I will look for my weaknesses and see what I can improve. Then I can make it better to excel myself", said Yufei.

In a message to Generation Zers, Zhang Yefei said it feels good to be seen as a role model, and she hopes her experience can inspire more young people to give it their all when fighting for their dreams.
