Liu Shiwen did not sign up for singles in this National Games qualifying tournament, but participated in the women’s team and mixed doubles events. In the first four days of the group battle, Liu Shiwen’s ‘attendance’ times are not high, three rounds of matches down she only appeared in the last round and won one of the discs, and ultimately with the Guangdong teammates narrowly advanced to the main round (Guangdong Women’s Team 0-3 Sichuan, 1-3 Tibet, 3-0 Jiangxi).
In the course of the post-match interview, Liu Shiwen confessed that the last National Games when she thought it was the last, did not think it could still go to today; but this time she said ‘the last game’, many people think that will not go back on their word, after all, the situation is very different.
2021 National Games, Liu Shiwen is still only participated in the Olympic Games of the national team main force, with a strong impact, and at that time she was only 30 years old, although it is also a veteran, but not particularly old players; now 2025 Liu Shiwen has 34 years old, and has long since been out of the national team system, the usual training and combat is not very systematic, as an athlete will certainly be more and more heartless. .
The fact that this year’s National Games are being held in the Greater Bay Area is also an important incentive for Liu to represent Guangdong in another edition, but the next edition won’t have the same conditions, so let’s hope that Liu enjoys the competition and strives to achieve good results again before she retires.
