Our reporter Pan Tianshu: The Chinese team has thrillingly achieved a fifth consecutive championship. After the match, head coach Huang Yubin, who was sitting in the stands, let out a long sigh of relief. He remarked, "Home advantage is a double-edged sword; Japan was under immense pressure in the final stages."
Huang Yubin, who had been closely watching the men's team from the stands, was extremely tense throughout the event. Before the competition, there were endless discussions about the China-Japan rivalry. Both the coaches and athletes of the Chinese team were well aware that even if both teams performed normally, the Japanese team could still rely on their home-court advantage to secure victory. However, it turned out that Japan ultimately lost due to the pressure of competing at home. Huang Yubin said, "The opponents saw our lead and felt enormous pressure. Competing at home is a double-edged sword. Although Japan had all the advantages of time, place, and people, they also faced great pressure. Inneru Hangping is very strong on the parallel bars, but even he made a mistake, which shows just how much pressure they were under."
Through this World Championships, Huang Yubin sincerely realized how difficult it is for athletes. "In the Olympics, the pressure might be even greater than now," he said. "The team’s success mainly depends on the mental fortitude of the athletes. Once one competition ends, another one begins, and the situation may be completely different. For us, the Olympics means taking an even bigger step forward."
