A famous athlete who competed in The Tokyo 2020 Olympics

作者: Bennett 李柏緯

The Tokyo 2020 Olympics ended in the evening of August 8th, and I bet all of us enjoyed watching the games very much.

There were 68 athletes competing in 18 sports that represented the Chinese Taipei Team. The final results were 2 Gold Medals, 4 Silver Medals, and 6 Bronze Medals.

The person I want to talk about is the world famous gymnast, Lee, Chih-kai. He won a Silver Medal in the Men's pommel horse on August 1st, 2021.

He is a 25 year-old gymnast who grew up in Yilan County, Taiwan. He is famous for his “Thomas Maneuver” in the pommel horse game. Starting learning gymnastics at the age of six, he never gives up and wants to let people learn something about gymnastics.

In my opinion, he is a very good role model, and we could all learn some life lessons from him.

P.s. If you want to read more stories and informations about him, you can take a look at this website:
