Hello everyone, this week let’s talk about the latest news just happened in last few weeks: The unprecedented achievement Taiwanese player achieved in East Asian Games(東亞運)!!!

Don’t be too urgent to read the text! The astonishing video is waiting for your click! (Roger Federer is coming again! By the way, the car is owned by his coach……)

First, I intend to introduce the background of East Asian Game (EAG for short). Coincidentally, it may be your first time and the last chance to hear about EAG, for it will be cancelled after 2013 held in Tianjin (天津) and changed into 東亞青年運動會(it doesn't have the official name now.). As its name tells us, the contestants are nearly all come from East Asia, and its function is used to provoke the exchange between Asian countries. Since 1993, it kicks off per four years.

The picture of men's and women's team(團體賽) won gold medals.

This year, Taiwan won total seventeen gold medals, and tennis representative grasp five of them! (also five sliver and two bronze(銅牌))

Women's double, Hao-Ching Chan and Yung-Jan Chan(詹詠然)

What’s amazing, not only mixed doubles(混雙), but women’s doubles(女雙) and men’s doubles(男雙) all gained one gold and silver medal, which means both of the teams competed in finals are all Taiwanese.

Mixed double, Hao-Ching Chan(詹皓晴) and Hsin-Han Lee(李欣翰)

   In the end, let’s applaud to all representatives!!

 p.s. Hsieh Su-Wei(謝淑薇) is going to attend the tournament in Turkey next week!!

Well, since EAG is only occurred in East Asia, it’s really hard to find the video in English version, so I give up after trying my best...and thank for your reading!
