Li Yang, who won double Olympic gold medals together, retired last year, and Wang Qilin changed to partner with Qiu Xiangyu after the Paris Olympics, and the two reached the semi-finals of the Korea Open, Hong Kong Open and Korea Masters last year. However, this year has fallen into a low ebb, and no matches have been able to advance to the top 4 before Taipei.

This time he was the king in Taipei, Wang Qilin did not forget to say funny, he really wanted to apologize to Li Yang, "I'm sorry for him, I have been in the top 4 and finals with him, and I only reached the second round last year, I put too much burden on myself, and now I put pressure on my junior." He revealed that Li Yang came to the scene that day to help bless me, "He wore a college cup championship hat and used magic gestures to bless me." ”

Finally broke out of the cocoon in Taipei, and spit out the resentment of this year's low tide, Wang Qilin said: "I started to match (Qiu) Xiangyu after the Olympics last year, and at first it was good to enter the top 4, but then the opponent was stuck in the round of 16 for a long time, and there was no breakthrough until the Sudirman Cup before, which is a great encouragement for us." ”

Wang Qilin believes that the biggest significance of this championship for him is the transformation of identity, "The last time I won the championship, I was led by seniors, and I just need to play my best, but this time I want to take my junior to rush and create opportunities for him, I feel the transformation of my identity." ”

Partnering with Wang Qilin, who has a brilliant record in international competitions in the past, Qiu Xiangyu admitted frankly that there must be a little pressure, but it is not necessarily related to his past results, but he believes that with such an experienced senior, plus the coach (Chen Honglin) is also Wang Qilin's previous partner, and Li Yanghui The two suggested, you can get a lot of feedback, "I hope I can improve to a better level, and we will continue to fight for the World Championships in the future." ”
