Recently, there was a heartwarming scene in the badminton men’s singles match at the Chengdu Universiade. The Ugandan player’s racket was disconnected, but there was no replacement racket. Just when he was at a loss, his opponent Wang Zhengxing from the mainland provided his spare racket to the Ugandan player to help him complete the game.

Not many people noticed this earlier, but as the live video was circulated on the Internet that day, it began to attract the attention of netizens.

It is reported that the first round of badminton men’s singles was held at that time. Wang Zhengxing of the mainland team competed with Muyangja Amos from Uganda. There was a big gap between the two sides. Not long after the game started, Wang Zhengxing led his opponent 9-0. At this time, Amos’s racket suddenly broke. He looked at the racket in his hand very helplessly, because he only had such a racket and did not have a spare racket.

In this case, Amosho took the initiative to admit defeat, or could only continue to play with the broken racket. At this moment, without thinking too much, Wang Zhengxing handed his spare racket to Amos so that the game could continue. Due to the obvious strength gap between the two sides, Amos finally lost 0-2, but at least he finished the game smoothly.

After the game, Wang Zhengxing came to Amos and gave Amos a racket as a souvenir. The other party was very happy and they took a photo together.

When Wang Zhengxing was asked about this matter by the reporter after the incident, he said that it was not easy for the opponent to come to Chengdu for the game so far away, so he lent him the racket, which is actually nothing. His teammate Tan Qiang also sent a pair of new sneakers to Brazil. Players, it’s normal to do this by yourself, because the Universiade is a platform for athletes from all over the world to compete and exchange ideas. “In addition to winning or losing in sports competitions, there are also friendships.”

In this regard, some mainland netizens said that although the competition is very cruel, especially the sports competition, it is really touching to see such a warm scene on the competition occasion, “Wang Zhengxing showed what is real sports. Spirit!”
