Hey sports squad! 🚣♂️ The Chinese mainland’s 15th National Games kicked off in Guangzhou with a splash of rowing drama and early gold medals.
In the men’s quadruple sculls final – basically four rowers each handling two oars in a 2,000m dash – Jiangsu squad (Cai Pengpeng, Zhang Hanwen, Zang Ha and Zhang Zihao) finished in a slick 4:12.24. That’s like powering through 20 football fields in just over four minutes! They nabbed the first gold, leaving hosts Guangdong with silver.
On the women’s side, Henan’s crew, led by Olympic gold medalist Lyu Yang along with Liu Youfei, Han Mengyao and Xu Yingying, crossed the line first and paddled home top of the podium.
