Cheng Xing, an SCNU undergraduate of Grade 2022, majoring in sports training, is one of the 69 athletes representing China. About the good results achieved at this championship, Cheng says, “This competition is a good chance for us to test our training, because my partner and I hit a plateau after the Toyota Gazoo Racing. Thus, we made a big change of our tactics into more suitable ones and used them in practice. After the competition, we are more certain that what we have done these days is right. The championship was a hard win. Most of our competitors are my teammates in the national team, and we are quite familiar with each other.”
