Zhong Qixin, once an aspiring Olympic climber, is now steering China's sport climbing team toward the Paris 2024 Games as their coach. In an interview with CGTN, Zhong shared how mentoring the next generation of athletes helps him fulfill his own Olympic dreams. 'As a coach, I can make up for my regrets,' he said, reflecting on his transition from competitor to leader.
Zhong’s journey isn’t just personal—it’s part of a larger push for China in sport climbing. The team secured seven Olympic slots, competing in all four events: men’s and women’s speed and combined. Athletes like Luo Zhilu (women’s combined) and Long Jinbao (men’s speed) will represent China’s growing prowess in this high-adrenaline sport.
'Our climbers are actively improving,' Zhong emphasized, highlighting their focus on refining techniques ahead of the Games. With one month to go, the team is laser-focused on ironing out weaknesses and 'achieving their dream in Paris.'
