"Before this happened, I was going to come to Singapore for myself, now I want to do it for him. It hasn't affected my preparation too much. I haven't done anything different in my training. Actually, I haven't had much preparation," he said.
After claiming title in the Taekwondo boys' over 73kg event, Chinese athlete Liu Chang wanted to dedicate his gold medal to his grandma, who has passed away several years ago.
Liu's grandma was killed in a car accident on her way to watch her grandson's training session. Liu said: "My grandma was very supportive of my taekwondo training. So these years I am always holding the faith that I should pursue huge achievement in taekwondo, not only for me, but also for my grandma."
It is the first title claimed by Chinese male taekwondo athlete in world-class tournament.
"With this YOG medal, I can go back home and pay respects to my grandma at her tomb," Liu said, with tears in his eyes.
There are pains and sorrows in life. But sports may teach you how to conquer them.
