Three years after making history with China's first Olympic 3×3 basketball medal 🥉 in Tokyo, veteran star Zhang Zhiting is charging toward Paris with renewed fire. The 29-year-old powerhouse, known for her razor-sharp tactics and clutch plays, says age is just a number as Team China gears up for the Summer Games.
'Young players keep me on my toes—like a never-ending TikTok dance challenge!' Zhang laughed during training. Despite acknowledging physical challenges, she emphasized mental grit: 'We’re here to compete, grow, and leave everything on the court.'
As the team’s anchor since their 2021 bronze breakthrough, Zhang’s leadership could be key against rising squads from Serbia and the US. With Paris’ iconic urban courts as their stage 🗼, will Team China level up? Game on! 🔥
