I was trying to watch the National Games highlights on my phone last night, sitting in a café in downtown Toronto. The video kept buffering – you know how it is when you’re overseas trying to stream content from back home. But when it finally played smoothly for a moment, I saw something that made me forget all about the technical issues.
There was this girl, Zou Mingke, sliding through the skateboard bowl like she was born on that board. The way she moved reminded me of my cousin’s daughter back in Shanghai – all confidence and no fear. She’s only 16, but already carving her name in Chinese sports history alongside Zheng Haohao in women’s skateboarding.
Then came Wang Yiran in women’s foil fencing. Watching her duel, I could almost hear the swish of her blade cutting through the air. It took me back to my college days when we’d crowd around the TV to watch the Olympics, cheering for every Chinese athlete like they were our own family members.
What really got me though was Ke Qinqin in gymnastics. There’s something about watching a young athlete’s focused expression – that mix of determination and innocence that makes you want to shout ‘You can do it!’ at the screen, even if you’re thousands of miles away.
The breakthroughs kept coming. Yu Zidi breaking the Asian record in women’s 200m medley, Zhang Zhan shuo smashing youth records not once, but three times, and Li Yan dominating the 87kg weightlifting category. Each victory felt personal, like watching your younger siblings achieve their dreams.
Here’s what struck me most – every single one of these rising stars mentioned the same goal: the Los Angeles Olympics. It’s funny, I might actually be able to watch them compete in person when 2028 rolls around, without having to deal with streaming issues.
Watching these young athletes grow up through sports reminds me of how we overseas Chinese navigate between two cultures. We face our own ‘restrictions’ and ‘buffering’ in daily life, but like these athletes, we find ways to push through and shine.
The video ended with the athletes waving at the camera, their smiles so genuine you could almost feel the energy through the screen. For a moment, I forgot I was sitting in a foreign café, surrounded by conversations in English. It felt like home.
