She said: “Winning the title at London 2012 was the proudest moment in my career as an athlete, and one that I will always remember. Training and hard work are the day in, day out, realities of being an athlete – these are what make winning a gold medal such a rewarding achievement.”
After receiving the trophy and certification from the Vice-President of ANOC for Oceania Robin Mitchell, Li also expressed her appreciation to ANOC and the Chinese Olympic Committee for “their never-ending support”.
