The Asian Games will be taking place in Nagoya this year, starting on Sept. 19. Taiwan has already put together a national team, which features some of the country’s top sports stars. The roster includes tennis aces Hsieh Su-wei and Chan Hao-ching as well as badminton stars Chou Tien-chen and Wang Chi-lin. Also going to Japan will be Olympic gold medalist boxer Lin Yu-ting and heartthrob judoka Yang Yung-wei. At a presser on Tuesday, Minister of Sports Lee Yang offered words of encouragement to all the competitors, and had a special message for his former badminton doubles partner. Let’s hear what he said.

Seeing most of the athletes competing in this year’s Asian Games… I, of course, have to especially mention Wang Chi-lin. It seems that for him, every Asian Games run marks a farewell with his latest doubles partner. I hope that we can provide the best logistical support to every athlete, coach, and delegation member. That’s the most important thing for a competitive athlete. No matter what the results may be, it is our ministry’s duty to stand behind each of them and offer them our support.

Team Taiwan managed to bag 19 gold medals at the previous Asian Games, tying its best-ever showing. But Lee did not set a target for the upcoming edition, saying that he did not want to put any additional and unnecessary pressure on the athletes. Instead, he said, he just wants to be their strongest source of support. All in all, 482 athletes will be heading to Nagoya, to compete in 34 sports.
