“I’m really happy with the result. Although the other competitors have impressive backgrounds and accolades, I’m just focused on myself and becoming the best I can be,” Feng said.
Feng prepared by competing in last year’s Chinese Taipei National Championships and weekly training, and cycled once around the track before yesterday’s competition, he said.
Yesterday’s wind conditions were also favorable, he added.
After winning the bronze medal, Feng thanked Team Taiwan, in particular, cyclists Yang Chen-kun (楊振坤) and Liu Chin-feng (劉金峯) for their time and effort in helping him to prepare for yesterday’s race.

The Minnesota Timberwolves, with so many promising performances spoiled by late mistakes fresh in their memory bank, sure timed this strong finish well. Jaden McDaniels scored a career playoff-high 30 points and spearheaded Minnesota’s stifling defense on an ailing Luka Doncic, and the Timberwolves beat the Los Angeles Lakers 116-104 to take a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference first-round series in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Friday night. “Jaden never looks tired.
