"I wish to send her a gift that represents (代表) the traditions and customs of China, and which she will like." said Chinese Olympic and world champion Zhang Yufei to Japanese swimming star Rikako Ikee at the Asian Games. The two female swimmers have developed a deeper friendship between them.
"I hope Ikee enjoys her trip in China. I hope she will enjoy the atmosphere (氛围) of the host city," said Zhang after winning the women's 100m butterfly (蝶泳) in new record time for the Asia—55.86s.
Competing against Zhang in the women's 100m butterfly, Ikee finishes in fifth place with a time of 58.98s. "I don't have ideal results, but I have tried my best," said Ikee.
"When I was in the second 50 meters, I could hear the loud cheering from the stands (看台). I know that sound was not all for me, but I found it encouraging."
