Q: How did you and your teammates and coaches feel about China's performance at the 2010 World Championships?

Huang Qiushuang: "The 2010 World Championships were like a showcase for the youth athletes, and the new athletes wanted to pratcice and get some experience at the world level."

Huang Qiushuang: "Yes, I do. Under this pressure in competition, I try to pursue the best level and skill for each event as I can so I can go to international championships."

She's got to do it sometime, and we all know it won't be at a major championship, so why not now?
