On September 23rd, after four days of competition, the 15th Asian Athletics Championships drew to a close. The Huaxia delegation topped the gold medal table with a tally of 19 golds, 10 silvers, and 8 bronzes, while Qatar leapt to second place on the medal table with 6 golds, 3 silvers, and 2 bronzes, followed by Japan in third.
After the competition, Link took a flight back home.
Owing to his three record-breaking performances in the shot put event at the Asian Athletics Championships, lifting the domestic record from over 19 meters to 20.81 meters, there is hope that he could win a gold medal for the National Team at next year's Olympic Games.
The domestic media, reporting on this competition, uniformly spotlighted Link, saying that after last year's injury, he was not beaten by the setback. Relying on strong willpower and a sense of honor, he persisted with training, continually improving his technique, and ultimately achieved remarkable success in shot put.
