After the game, Xie Zhenye told reporters that he felt pretty good and met many old friends and opponents. I hope to find a feeling through the game and make adjustments in the subsequent training and competition.

Before this grand prix, Xie Zhenye has been training and competing in the United States. In mid-May, Xie Zhenye returned to Beijing and transferred to Wuhan for a week-long training. “During the time in the United States, Xiao Xie performed very well in all aspects, whether it was grades or physical condition.” The head coach Tao Jianrong said that judging from the performance on the first day, Xie Zhenye performed normally. However, due to the schedule of three shots on the first day, the coaching staff decided not to participate in the 200-meter preliminaries of this Grand Prix due to various considerations. Next, I will make every effort to prepare for the Asian Games and World Championship trials held in Shenyang at the end of June.
